What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

Trump seems a bit down.  Perhaps we should send him flowers.  Some sort of Russian plant.

Show of hands-- who posted this fake news on Facebook?  And didn't Zuckerberg say he was gonna protect us against this stuff?

Oh, I totally did. What I actually posted was, "I don't care how fake this is. I'm really going to enjoy watching that ass have to swim his way out of it regardless. He's done this shit to others, so now it'll be fun to watch him deal with things in the post-fact world that he created."

I've done the high road thing. It got me Trump. Now I'm going to laugh my ass off whenever something like this happens and I get to watch him frothing at the mouth over it.

Morgan Lewis is was of the biggest law firms in the world (as is Baker also on that list).  They are probably on the short list for firm of the year in over a dozen countries.
