The comic seems to show the board of governors trying to remove a statute of Lady Justice or maybe Columbia. So probably the comic is not supporting their actions vis a vis not removing Confederate statues. Combined with his role in the Silent Sham thing I think it's unlikely he's generally opposed to removing Confederate statues.

Vic's brief is out. It is an absolute clown car. It's also 3400 words short of limits.

It also directly lies to the court. Fun stuff all around. The geniuses over at kiwifarms, of course, think it's great.

I don't think that will happen because Beard and company are very invested from sucking as much money from Vic as possible and Vic blandly assumes they're doing everything they can and it'll work out in the end. The only one on the hook is Vic and he's too dumb to notice.

I'm not sure it really is all about the grift tbh, a lot of the worst blunders have happened because of how emotionally invested Beard and Nick are in owning Vic's victims and MeToo victims in general.
I think they could have steered this to the scene of the crash in a terrible but bland fashion, thrown everybody under the bus "aw shucks those evil SJWs, I guess we lost, tune in next time for when we sue somebody else" collected their 250k and rode off into the sunset everybody goes away thinking they stuck it to {insert chud villain here} like a chuddier version of the producers , but they haven't so far and I feel like its cost Nick and Beard big time in their chud credibility(for whatever the hell that is worth). They obviously don't care about Vic, this was never really about him, he is just a huge dumb narcissist and they told him it would be a free lawsuit. I think If they were just trying to make money they would be teeing up some fresh cases at this point.

Anyway, my original point was that I don't think the appeal court is going to bother to slap down Beard on the lying and whatever other dumb poo poo he did, they are just going to deny the appeal on the merits(or lack thereof in this case) and then let his incompetence and lack of ethics be the Texas Bar's problem. This case isn't even going to get oral arguments, they definitely aren't going to take the time out to rebuke Beard.

Oh you think I'm saying Beard should drop this? No chance of that, will not be surprised when they are trying to take this to the Supreme Court or something dumb like that.

Next up are the responsive briefs from all of the Defendants I believe (and this isn't even factoring in extensions). I dunno if the Texas appellate courts do it, but the Plaintiff can do reply briefs within a shorter window if they choose to in other states.

And then it's up to the clerks to comb through all of this mess in a way that doesn't have their judges throwing poo poo in their faces at least the first go around, and then the Judges need to decide if they actually want to grant oral argument for this poo poo show.

The fact that there people on Team Vic who just openly advocate for even feeling on a coworker’s hair unsolicited will never not be simultaneously hilarious and stupefying

Like, these people do have jobs with minimally competent HR departments right? Or were taught personal space and boundaries right?
