My home paper printed an interesting article about blotus

James Brosnahan, one of the country’s most distinguished trial lawyers, predicted the eventual vanquishment of President Donald Trump, while addressing the Marin County Bar Association in San Rafael on Tuesday.

Brosnahan, the attorney who defended John Walker Lindh, the so-called “American Taliban” from San Anselmo, and obtained a $32 million decision for Marin General Hospital against Sutter Health in 2013, spoke to about 50 Marin lawyers during a luncheon at Embassy Suites.

‘Trump’s not going to make it. He will not make it,” Brosnahan said. “This is America.

“Why is he not going to make it?” Brosnahan continued. “Because Joseph McCarthy didn’t make it. Trump has attacked everybody. You cannot attack the intelligence community, because they will get you. They are scary people. They do stuff.

“And you can’t attack the press, because they will get you. That’s two out of three,” Brosnahan said. “Go ahead and attack the pope and let’s see what happens.”

given some of the atypically liberal things this pope has said, i find that surprising, if it's even accurate.
