Says the guy who appears not to understand the concept of "purposeful availment."

Or that his client claiming he has no contacts in Texas relevant to the case was actually physically in Texas defaming the plaintiff while on business in the period he swore under oath he wasn't. Or that there's apparently audio of this.

Fame rarely equals competency. I begin to suspect that Zaid likely is more than a bit of a Sociopath. One of those who goes through life and career flinging lies and slander largely because the normies never ever seem to hold anyone actually accountable for doing so.

Don't sociopaths have weapons-grade people skills, though? Zaid increasingly looks like Don Quixote if he passed the bar.

Hollywood sociopaths do, real ones are just people. Like anyone else, some have great people skills, but hardly all of them do. Having your brain broken so you have no empathy doesn't actually automatically make you an evil genius.

Huh, I thought that the lack of empathy made them good at learning how to fake it- sort of like autism, but studying emotions instead of train schedules. Live and learn.

Sociopath social game is often strong but even the strongest game is not without fault. They need the proper context to make it work. They have to pick their battles and keep the veil up.

This is not that context. And they’re cock sure it is. They either don’t realize it or do but are too invested in their momentum to change their approach.

So when

So when I previously said that Michael Mansfield and the other Brit QCs did the heavy lifting in the Libya case, which he then stole glory from, that was pretty much correct.

If he really was as great as he claims, he wouldn't be chasing ghosts and suing on behalf of falsified papers saying that Princess Diana was going to marry some Arab billionaire and was offed because of it

Still not sure who is funnier. Landau, a no name who is a complete huckster and failure of a lawyer, or someone who is a alleged Superlawyer, winner of awards, being this incompetent?

He only got involved in Mohammed Al Fayed's case because British law firms saw him as batshit insane and wouldn't take his case. Which just fed his conspiracy delusions. No wonder Zaid picked him up.

 

[Puddleduck]

Surely Waid had spent around $75k by now, with Super Lawyer and them in Texas? Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just settle out of court? In his deranged mind I can see "not wanting to let the Nazis win" but if I was facing a lawsuit from someone I saw as having unforgivable views, I'd rather not waste the time, money, and stress on the thing.

He's a zealot, and he found a lawyer that was either stupid enough to also become a zealot or ethicsless enough to act like a zealot

who will file 100 page garbage documents because its lolsuit time

From the small snippets we have of Marks history, he would never admit fault or wrongdoing. He is the strong who protects the weak after all.

I love how everybody championing Waid is his own worst enemy. Waid, Zaid, Richard Pace, Renfamous all there to jump in and help, showing how just Mark was and it always ends up strengthening D&Cs case.

The difference between autistic people and sociopaths is a strange inversion. Sociopaths can read and respond to social cues, but have no desire or ability to form meaningful emotional connections with other humans. Autistic people are crippled socially, but desire and are capable of deep empathetic relationships.

Sociopaths develop complex strategies of manipulation to deceive people into thinking there is a connection, or empathy, or some other relationship. This hollow facade of real emotional character is only used for the purposes of manipulating other people into getting what they want, however. Typically this charade can only be maintained for a certain amount of time until the normies being scammed clue into it, but by then the sociopath has stolen their stocks/ruined their career (if CEO or executive type) or slit their throat (slasher). Steve Jobs is a good CEO example, that fucker managed to build a cult that practically worshiped him despite scamming Woz and being a deadbeat dad to the daughter he disowned. Ted Bundy is the classic slasher model, charming college girls long enough to drop their guard - but my favorite is that 8 years after his girlfriend dumped her he returned, made her fall in love with him and arrange to be married then ghosted her.

Autistic people, on the other hand, are like big dumbass dogs. They are capable of feeling love, and kindness, and eventually building genuine relationships but also totally unaware that they rolled in mud and are tracking it all over the house holy FUCK DON'T JUMP ON THE COUCH! Then they get all confused that you're yelling when they were just trying to say hello.

In summary, give me an autistic nerd any day of the week. You can train them to shower daily and shut up about trains, but you'll never get a sociopath to put down the knife.

Screwed around with a word cloud from Rackets auto generated transcript just for fun. This was the first one spat out with random settings and seems fairly accurate - Waid planitff Texas know.



Fixed common Waid and Zaid misspellings and selected some settings. Also worked well - Like know Texas Waid

Fame rarely equals competency. I begin to suspect that Zaid likely is more than a bit of a Sociopath. One of those who goes through life and career flinging lies and slander largely because the normies never ever seem to hold anyone actually accountable for doing so.

I know little about Zaid, but if the person descibed here had any tendencies, it sounds more like narcissism, which has many similiarities to ASPD (such as sociopaths manifest), but narcissists do care what other people think about them over time and are even more successful at getting to levels that their ability doesn't seem to merit than sociopaths. Sociopaths tend to burn more bridges and often get into trouble that catches up to them before they are Zaid's age, so while some are successful, on average they have far worse long-term career results than narsissists.

Sociopaths have trouble caring about things larger than themselves (for example, despite their very low levels of fear-response and high aggressiveness, terrorists don't seem to be able to recruit them particularly well), so some weird progessive comics crusade wouldn't be their speed, unless it directly benefited them somehow (I don't know whether Zaid owns comic shops or anything), or if he thought it part of the legal defense his client is entitled to.

 

[mindlessobserver]

This dipshit is tripping all over his dick while exposing his client to ever deepening liability.

And we are only a month in. At this point I wonder if the judge will take pity on Waid and order Zaid to stfu.

Zaid's latest tweets conclusively establish that he is aware of Mark Waid's misrepresentations to the court and instead of jumping on notifying the court of this "accidental" inaccuracy, he's instead chimping out on social media.

PROTIP: It goes way worse for your client, you personally, and the buffoons who signed off on p.h.v. status if it's the other side who has to inform the court of your client's lying under oath.

Also right after the weasel words Waid "cleverly" hid inside parentheses because these dumb Texas hicks apparently can't read anything inside parentheses, he said this: "I have not made any statements regarding Plaintiff while I was in Texas, or otherwise engaged in any conduct while in Texas involving Plaintiff."

I.e. affirmatively flat out lying.

 

[Slimy Time]

Oh wow, I had no idea Zaid was part of Mohamed Al-Fayed's lawsuit. That is low, low, low.
For those who hadn't heard of it: this billionaire was the father of Princess Diana's boyfriend who died in the car crash with her. One way or another, the senior Al-Fayed got it into his head that the whole thing was a conspiracy between all the top American and British spy agencies to assassinate the two of them because some highly placed royals couldn't stand the thought of a Muslim marrying into the royal family. He made a huge fuss about it in the media and sued various governmental agencies, and apparently Mark Zaid was right there enabling his grief-fueled conspiracy theories for a few years.

Yeah... That's not how he spun it though...

It's opposing counsel who should take pity at this point, and kindly offer Zaid an opportunity to correct the record about Waid's lies to the court, much as Kokkinos' lawyer did for LanDUI in the Ouzounian case. After all, it would be really embarrassing for him for the other side to be forced to do this, especially after Zaid has publicly confirmed that he's aware of this deception.

It would look really bad if he had an opportunity to correct this, knew about it, discussed it publicly, and somehow never found the time to correct the misleading filing. It would start looking like he thought the judge was some kind of fool, and that wouldn't be good for him or his client.

I can see opposing counsel taking pity on his fellow Texas Lawyer who was saddled with Zaid. But I can’t see Byrne having much call or gaining much benefit from getting involved or granting mercy to Zaid. “When your enemy is making mistakes, do your best to not interfere.”
