WINNER WINNER

UPDATE: THIS DEBATE WAS NOT CLOSE

Your president kicked Joe Biden's ass. It was not close. Biden continually fumbled every time he tried to cite statistics. Trump stayed calm. He dodged his weakest point- his response to covid- Biden never attacked Trump on telling people it would magically disappear and masks were not effective. 

Trump attacked one of Biden's son's military service. Biden never said "well at least he served. And didn't dodge service because he had flat feet." Biden never said "what does that have to do with you and me?" Time and time again Biden had chances and never followed through. 

We got the distinct impression that the moderator Chris Wallace would have been a better debater of the president than Joe Biden was. 

Biden fans- be honest. He got beat. Trump prepared and was very well prepared. He faked Biden out saying he was not preparing. He was prepared. He was as presidential as he ever has been and he stayed in his lane . Trump was on point and was the clear winner. 

Check out our tweets on @justicebuilding on Twitter. 


IF YOU ARE FOLLOWING US ON TWITTER @justicebuilding then you know Trump is cleaning Biden's clock. It is not even close. 

UPDATE OK FANS WE ARE GOING TO LIVE TWEET THE DEBATE @JUSTICEBUILDING

Tune in for the witty comments you have come to expect and love 


It was on everyone's mind. You couldn't go to the water cooler without hearing it: Will the Tampa Bay Lightening bring home the Cup? Well Monday night your Tampa Bay Lightening WON the Stanley Cup! And Miami and Floridians took to the streets, dancing and chanting and celebrating this "Ray" of light in a difficult year. Congrats!

We gave you the MNF game. Chiefs over Ravens and it was EZ. But then, we are rarely wrong. 

Tonight the line is Biden +4 over Trump. It's difficult to give points when you are going up against the President who is a disruptive debater. But when you dive a bit deeper and realize that the matchup is a man well versed in politics and history who has successfully led  versus an ignorant buffoon who loses money every year in his business, it's not hard. Lay the four and take the Veep. We may...may...live blog the event and we might...might ...even reactivate our dormant twitter. Check back later for details. 

Gotta love our new SCOTUS nominee. ACB  belongs to a group that believes  women should defer to men. Talk about peace in the home! And with that belief, can we expect no dissents unless a female justice writes the decision? 

This is how you handle psychological pressure.

NATIONAL BREAK UP DAY

There are some relationships, and the inevitable break-up, that have become part of our popular culture and consciousness. For those old enough to remember a world without Starbucks and texting, Elizabeth  Taylor and Richard Burton is the seminal relationship-breakup-remarriage event of the last century. 

Katie Holmes left weirdo Tom Cruise. Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt never made it.  Elin Nordegren threw out Tiger, and he hasn't been the same since. 

But in our humble opinion, the most culturally significant break up of our time,  occurred today, November 13, year unknown, when "Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence...and that request came from his wife."  Thus was born one of the best sitcoms ever, and dozens of philosophical gems, as well as some of the best lawyering you will ever see. Observe below:







Best cross examination: "When you ASSUME... you make an ASS out of U and ME" It starts at 3:17 of the clip. Plus, it always pays to bow to the court. And the actual "assume" incident is at 4:20. We've been waiting 30 years to use this. And of course there is the valuable lesson all of us always need to keep in mind: calling one witness too many, and asking one question too many. This should be required viewing in every law school. 






Best way to end a cross? "Get off the stand, you make me sick!" 
The cross of the stooge of management, corporate puppet, the nameless, faceless little gray men trying to claw their way to the top, begins at 3:15.
