Interestingly, any drag Queen report - which I haven’t yet heard - wouldn’t bother me at all. It’s everything else that makes the person a disgusting human.

The most recent obsession from the media claiming that I am a drag Queen or “performed” as a drag Queen is categorically false. The media continues to make outrageous claims about my life while I am working to deliver results. I will not be distracted nor fazed by this.

I worked during undergrad and paid for my own education. I got married. Went to law school. Worked 30+ hours a week during law school. We saved every penny we could. We got pregnant in law school and used our savings to buy a house in a neighborhood that was too far away.

I have a serious question. Where did y’all get money to move, put down deposits on apts, other residency relocation expenses?

A lawyer I knew was shot and killed yesterday. He was a young vibrant married man with children. I am in shock. This will change our community.

Two people are dead tonight inside this office of Riddle and Brantley. All signs point to this being a murder suicide at this hour. Goldsboro police investigating #abc11

I can think of some other U.S. presidents—and vice presidents—who also should be prosecuted for their crimes. Under the American Exceptionalism doctrine, torture, kidnapping, assassination, and mass killing are not considered crimes when done to the sound of patriotic trumpets.

Condensed deposition transcripts go either: 1⬇️3⬇️ 2↗️4 -OR- 1➡️2↙️ 3➡️4 And the inconsistency of the format is pretty dang frustrating. 1-3 2-4 is the worst. Who reads like that?

MLB HOF’er Gaylord Perry has died @ age 84. Gaylord was from tiny Williamston, NC. My Dad is 85 and grew up in tiny Ahoskie, NC. One of my Dad’s favorite stories is breaking up a no hitter Gaylord was throwing in HS with a dribbler hit late in the game. He got a hit off a HOF’er!

Stages of Panic: Showing up for a deposition and there’s no one else here - then checking the notice & seeing it was noticed for a different city - then realizing you’re looking at the notice form the original date and you’re at the rescheduled deposition & in the right place.

Consider yourself smarter than a billionaire if you recognize how messed up his statement is.

Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists. Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.

The DEMs are targeting concert ticket processing fees. Hells yea, this is a platform we can rally around! We’re gonna win this thing now. Narrator: The Democrats we’re destroyed in the midterms.

I know hidden junk fees – like processing fees on concert tickets – are a pain. They’re unfair, deceptive, and add up. That’s why, last week, I called on my Administration to crack down on these fees and put that money back in your pocket.
My younger OC didn’t completely understand a procedural issue today and asked me about it. I explained what he needed to do and even wrote out a short example for him. It didn’t hurt my case. This was done for me a few times. Just paying it back.

As a litigation attorney I am super easy. Need extra time? No problem. Need that in Word? Headed your way. Late to a hearing? I’ll wait. Forgot to notice a reporter? Let’s reschedule. But cross me in a cute way to advantage your case? Rue the day MF. RUE THE FUCKING DAY!

When the defendant’s attorney wants to have their paid doctor examine my client, they want to call it an IME (Independent Medical Examination). It’s not an IME, it’s a B&BME (Bought & Biased Medical Examination).
