    Trump really likes to hire chihuahuas for lawyers.

    Off topic but I immediately distrust anyone that wears a crucifix so prominently especially one made with precious metals and stones.

      It’s like a dog whistle to their perceived moral superiority. I like it though because I know to avoid them.

        more importantly the hypocrisy of it. Even in my Christian days I had a hard time understanding why crosses were always good and silver. You’d think wood crosses be the only acceptable symbol

          I feel a cheap metal also works, but it should be unassuming. I also feel like they should be wearing it under their shirts not openly. “Do not pray as the hypocrites” and whatnot.

            Well perhaps not "hiding " it, but yea, less outward displays of dogmatic purity would make more sense overall. Christianity’s primary selling point is that the least of us are the most deserving of compassion.

      I know this is pedantic, but that’s a cross, not a crucifix. The difference is that a crucifix has jesus on it.

      I only mention this because I was hoping to see a bedazzled jesus corpse and was super disappointed.
