Which is a real shame because I would have liked to see what Saturday Night Live and Jon Stewart did with her efforts, :D  :D
Just never got into SNL or a lot of other US sketch comedy, I've always preferred the Brits for sketch, maybe I watched too much of the Dean Martin Show growing up.

Stand Up I put in a different category, and I gravitate to the less scripted types. George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Rich Hall I don't mind, they can be a bit dark for some, the US equivalents of a Gervais or Connolly type.

Back on the topic, some US state based Bar Associations have apparently launched enquiries, not sure what the penalty is for being a fake lawyer but we could be about to find out.

Why is it not surprising, that RedTrump's freshly appointed White House Press Secretary, a person who has previously called herself a lawyer, failed the bar exam?

Who'd have thunk it, the conman likes to employ con-artists!

The 42-year-old obtained her J.D. from Pepperdine Caruso Law in 2011, according to her LinkedIn profile. Her work history also includes a gig as “general counsel” for a Ric Grenell–operated nonprofit based in California, but Legum found she held no credentials to practice law there.

Zacharia is not listed as a member of the bar in Texas or Washington, D.C., either, despite evidence that she also worked there in a legal capacity.

In fact, after analyzing state bar association databases from all 50 states and Washington, Legum found that Zacharia never actually passed the qualifying legal exam anywhere.

In an emailed response about Zacharia’s dubious résumé, the White House referred Legum to Donald Trump’s Friday Truth Social post, in which he declared Zacharia’s appointment under the pretext that she is a “distinguished Graduate of Pepperdine University, and the Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, an attorney, and a frequent Commentator on outlets, including Fox News and Newsmax.”

The White House did not offer any other supporting evidence for Zacharia’s work history.

Erone is a fantastic footballer to watch.

Erone's acceleration and agility are real weapons but are enhanced by her ability to anticipate the play.  That really is impressive for a cross-coder!

Enjoy the game.  It could be a close contest  :-\
I feel like Erone has real marketability about her, not sure why shes not put out front and centre by the club more -
I know many men in particular dont think womens footy is a decent standard generally and she is a player that has footy smarts, skills, fitness, athleticism and is great to watch all the time. She really stands out to me.

I was looking for this thread in recent posts on Sunday but unfortunately overshadowed by the Cowan Hayward crap!

Watched the game on replay, thought we played really well but disappointed we didnt help
Our % more.

Next week against the Dogs - we will be going. Erone is a fantastic footballer to watch.

I was a little concerned that Tara Bohanna’s omission would make it easier for defenders to reduce Poppy Sholz’s impact but Nell Morris-Dalton has proved to be a more than adequate replacement.

Tara, in form, is probably a better marking target but Nell’s all round forward craft really complements what is now a potent, multi-pronged forward line.

Oscar has been pushed to #2 driver and would do best to go elsewhere. There is 1 huge problem though......where could he go that is an improvement?
That is a problem for him, but he certainly can't win while remaining there unless Norris suffers some unforeseen fate, and as long as Brown keeps getting uber "performance" bonusses the Norris favouritism is assured.
Oscar and his manager Weber are biding their time and will wait for the right opportunity. No point jumping for the sake of it unless Oscar’ opportunity to compete are improved.
