If you havent heard about Trumps NABJ interview, if you think people are exaggerating, just watch the interview.

https://www.c-span.org/video/?537472-1/president-trump-speaks-nabj-conference

I know some of you are thinking this doesn't need a second topic and maybe this will immediately peter out, but 1 poster dominated the conversation and reactions for much of the 1st topic and that seems unlikely now. There is some Trump crazy that still needs unpacking and reactions that still need sharing.

1) Anytime theres a tough question, he dodges, name-calls, and whines that people arent more fair to him. Does that sound like a leader to you?

2) Hes apparently confused by Harris being both black and Indian. He thinks mixed race people have to choose? That middle part was weird.

3) His defense of Vance felt halfhearted. As close as we'll get to him admitting he just likes yes-men and didnt fully vet Vance.

4) He said hed pardon everyone from January 6th including those convicted of assaulting police officers. There was a police officer that lost an eye and instead of addressing that he used whataboutism to talk about property damage and he lied, not acknowledging that liberal protestors get arrested too.

Most tellingly of all, the main conservative subreddit had one thread about it that was heavily censored by mods and no other discussion, so they know he's cooked.

Seriously, watch the interview. One of the 3 interviewers was from Fox News and the crowd gave him a welcoming respectful applause at the start. One of the interviewers was tough but a presidential candidate shouldn't be afraid of tough questions.

"Diversity, equity and inclusion."
"OK, yeah, go ahead, is that your definition? What is your definition?"
"That is the..."
"Gimme the definition."
"Sir, I'm asking you a question."
"No no, you have to define it."
...
"She turned black."

ya, i was imagining a group of reporters from one outlet, or the competing conservative news outfits. but to make it comparable to the NABJ, it would have to be a preexisting group not limited to one group of outlets. is there like a nat'l association of conservative journalists?

Looking on TV and social media, it looks like we skipped right passed the HE DIDNT SAY THAT!!! step of the Trump Defense Playbook and went right to He was ambushed and didnt articulate it well, but what he was actually saying was. portion.

I'm sure well be hitting the Well, other people have said MUCH worse things than that step by mid-weekend
You gotta laugh. That is the one thing at the end of your life you will not wish you did less of.

Did we ever figure out what classifies a black job?
This is gold lmao
I liked him tightening her water because he was looking like a fool. He is for sure dropping the N word during his campaign. Its just a matter of when.
Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

Theres a conservative movement to target descendants of slavery and turn them against descendants of Black immigrants and Trump is doing his she was Indian, not Black routine to dogwhistle to them to try to negate some of Kamalas advantage with Black voters.

Tbf, there are people within the black community who want to do this too, but you're right correct that this is what the GOP is trying to do.

I'll take this opportunity to trash the bar exam as I very much enjoy doing so.

The bulk of the test does not, in any feasible way, measure one's minimum competency as an attorney. I do not know the contents of California's bar exam, but the Uniform Bar Exam is, with the exception of the Multistate Performance Test part, absolutely worthless for anything other than testing one's ability to study and take a test. Any number of factors can impact the performance on any of the four three hour blocks.

I passed the bar on my first go. I know adept attorneys who took it three times before passing. It's a dreadful gatekeeping tool, and the profession needs to do better.

I know a few attorneys, and they've all said it is one of the toughest. If you can pass it, you can even practice law without a degree. Kim Kardashian's been trying to pass it about 5 years now.

Yea, he said any job. Basically he's a racist.

https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1818714787624124416

That's the exact clip he is asked about what a black job is, and he replies 'a black job is anybody that has a job'.

A thinly veiled way to say, low paying jobs.

Now I think the Republican and Trump angle is "he meant black jobs because the question was about black people."

But that answer is horse shit, given Trump and the Republican parties just recent background. Harris is a DEI Vice President? Their attacks on any non white male being "DEI hires?" Why even mention "black jobs" in the first place? Why claim Kamala never identified as black until now? Which is false btw, shes on record multiple decades ago identifying as black. She didn't wake up one morning and decided she was black.

(Post isnt attacking you, just answering your question. Republicans answer to your question is thinly veiled racism. In fact it's more like a siren.)
WAAAH, I CAN'T BEAT THIS GUY WITH HIS TACTICS, I'M GONNA CALL IT SPAM AND CONDEMN HIM FOR USING IT
I will say, I am personally annoyed that places like Washington Post are claiming the onus is on Harris to deflect these racist attacks on her. Absolutely fucking appalling.

"Harris faces a pivotal moment as Trump questions her identity"

Imagine being the editor who sees that headline and goes, yep that plays.

I was going to post something like this, but you said it so much better than I would have. I have passed bars in three different states (before reciprocity was a more common thing), but it means so little. It means I can study and organize material, big deal. It (and law school itself really) dont mean much when it comes to actual law practice or intelligence. I have a couple friends who failed the bar multiple times who are much better lawyers than me.

An opinion does not turn into a fact simply because the person holding it feels strongly about it.

It's amazing she's oblivious how racist she sounds.

She confidently posted about multiple baby mama's, owning sneakers, and having a mugshot as being more black. You can't make this shit up.

Never that first paragraph thinking Trump did something special gracing us black people by lifting a ban. Who started said ban and why, in the first place?

This. I am so sick of Trump playing the snowflake victim card whenever faced with a legitimate question. He has been doing this for years. Man up and answer or find a job where answering to the people you are supposed to serve is not part of the job. Being a truculent baby should not be an option, and wouldnt be if the GOP hasnt spent decades building a cult.

The fact that millions think this guy is some sort of alpha male continues to be the most baffling part of the MAGA nonsense. He may be the most thin skinned and whiny public figure to exist in my lifetime.

Like even my most charitable description of the essays is "imagine a possible client comes into your office and wants your first impression to guide the entire handling of some legal issues."

That's absurd. That in no way reflects actual practice and merely tests your ability to retain information (notwithstanding that bar prep is 50% "regurgitate X if you spot issue Y).

And that's just the essays! The actual multiple choice test, which lasts 6 hours or half of the total exam time , is literally just fucking trivia designed to fuck with the test taker !

Absolutely fucking ludicrous. The MPT is the only sane part of the UBE.

This is way beside the point of the topic but I interviewed for a software developer position at the national conference of bar examiners and when I was researching the job I could not believe how controversial of a thing it is
