I started The Debaser a year ago and whoooooo, it’s been fun. A little Internet post I wrote in 20 minutes got me on television. It felt like I hijacked something, like I infiltrated a party I wasn’t invited to. Tom Girardi: I made that bitch famous. Mike Feuer: get ready to go back to Bet Tzedek.
I heard some people want to make The Debaser go away. Folks, it’s an honor. Please, reach out to me. I would take a bribe.
People be like, Justin, why u so mean? Sometimes people are not swayed by facts. They’ve made their own truth, and won’t believe anything else you put in front of them. Sometimes, you have to make fun of them, and pick them apart as regular people. I mean, have you ever looked at Mike Feuer?
Anyway, thank you for your support. I know nobody wants more emails these days. Only like one person has unsubscribed so far. To the lawyers subscribing: know that you are the coolest lawyers on the planet; please link this in your connected listserves. Together, we can steal the Daily Journal’s audience and watch the California legal world burn down. Journalists: let’s drink soon. Friends: I miss you.
This thing exists only on small donations. So far paying is optional, but I might change that because I really want to start making mugs and t-shirts. Any suggestions?
