Can a grassroots protest be funded organically and go nationwide in less than one year? And have the logo and “swag” gear, with many state chapters aligned, but with no central website?

Once high-flying, self-promoting attorney T. Matthew Phillips paid the California Bar, with late fees tacked on, he is now allowed to practice law again. Legally, of course. The undermining strategist finally manned up and paid his Bar Tab. How novel. Let’s have a round of applause for Phillips, shall we. Still, by catching up on overdue bills, with an address and county “not found” in the Golden State—Shhh! It’s in the ‘City of Lost Wages,’ Nevada—doesn’t bode well for the fallen lawyer in restoring his public image or building confidence in new marks looking to hire an attorney who came up short—twice—in taking on the State of California government.

But dare the people did. Call it buyer’s remorse times deux!

“TMP,” as he is known in his pubic-hair sliver of the internet, is a two-time quitter of such brilliant lawyering in the SB-277 debacle (ER: this law removed personal belief as grounds for vaccine exemption in the school system) and the 2015 Glyphosate class action boomerang. Two failed lawsuits. Neither closed the deal in the end. Neither reached a verdict. Neither secured future clients by word of mouth. Neither were victorious. Both were train wrecks. He did create a template for SB-277 to sue the director of the California department of public health.

Today, TMP has a better chance of catching Typhus in L.A. than being hired to fight the next big legal tort case.

While TMP—or should we call him Todd, or is it Toad?—struggles to remain relevant after betting on the wrong legal horses to show, comes a well-financed, non-organic, out-of-the-blue movement on a national scale. Fake News never looked so organized. Clearly, Rachel Madcow is not an advisor to Millions March. But then who is?

What’s fun to watch about this Controlled Opposition junkie, has been his penchant for calling out others as part of “controlled opposition” groups.

That was very sly of TMP.
