I had to resign from a position because my supervisors were forcing me to take a case which I thought would result in rule 11 sanctions. Based on their recent actions, where they (unsuccessfully) tried to hang another former atty out to deal with it on her own, I fell on my sword. Fortunately, the federal judge granted my withdrawal.

For those who don’t know about rule 11, it sanctions lawyers who frivolous lawsuits. The penalty is monetary.

...dropping N-bombs, F-bombs, and every other kind of bomb I can't think of right now. I hope it is an Adderall-laden meltdown that culminates with him shitting himself. Literally, shitting himself. That would be epic.

tRump is going to cause violence if he is not stopped. His cult has already started.
