I can’t count how many times in the past four years I’ve muttered to myself and others “they’ve monetized cruelty” but I’m going to have to go with the next version of this…
They’ve monetized insanity.
And it’s working, for them.

There is a particular market segment that absolutely will pay for this specific kind of lawyer, and pay them very well.
It’s a brand.
FNJ lawyers are absolutely a thing.
Hiring FNJLs to do hatchet jobs is A Thing. A Very Old Gig. And common.
Dollars to donuts, he will not be disbarred. He may in fact end up having certain people beating a path to his office door.
William Barr still not disbarred. The man’s not even indicted.
Heck, Michael Cohen was disbarred. The collateral damage from him is far less that what Barr has done to us.

The fact that it gets applied to so many intriques, conspiracies, in 17th century England probably reflects a good deal of 17th century english antisemitism.

Is this the guy who filed his most recent election lawsuit “under plenty of perjury” and also included two republican politicians as co-plaintiffs who didn’t know about the lawsuit, and named Mike Pence and “the electoral college” as defendants?

As far as I can tell Lin Wood’s main goal is to make Rudy Giuliani look sane.

If that’s true, he is sorta-kinda succeeding? At least Rudy is not the looniest one in the loony bin. I guess that counts for something…

It’s against the rules here to speculate as to people’s mental health so i’m not going to do that…
2020 has shown us very clearly that people can seriously warp their thinking and lose contact with reality just by consuming mentally toxic stuff, like QAnon and other conspiracy theories, without there being anything clinically wrong with their brains and minds.

Be grateful that the liberals are winning, Lin Wood. In more conservative times you would have been executed for being a heretic if you said that.
