Re: The 47th POTUS - Donald J. Trump

[spike]

But this is actually more disturbing:

If the uncool cannot get adequate legal representation we are far closer to fascism than we might admit.

I sincerely doubt uncool is the enemy. My only complaint is inconsistency. If you're going to fight evil, don't stop with those representing Trump. Nonetheless, means do not justify ends, because ends are unpredictable and karma is a bitch.

Uncool is the term I used to not trigger our friends into attacking the word and not the implication of what is happening. The issue here is that the fundamental essence of justice in the US (and most common law nations) is the adversarial system. If system is gamed so that an ex-President becomes so toxic to a lawyers career that no firm large enough to handle the cases will take him as client, then the system falls apart because he cannot get adequate representation. I am in no way, at all, stating or implying that is currently the case as of 5pm EST on 17.April.2023, and clearly as of this date and time and for the immediate future, Trump can still get enough large enough firms to support his misdeeds. But there are folks actively pushing towards making representing him a career-ender.

It feels good to believe he's gonna get what he deserves, but once this is done there is nothing to stop it from filtering down to ever poor slob on street who does something to anger the dominant political class.

It’s just petty politics, no one’s going to care enough about anyone else to do this repeatedly. The uncool do petty stuff too that could be perceived as potentially ending democracy as we know it. Just another day, man.

Well well well. What does he know and why now?

[dimejinky99]

Is Carlson about to announce he’s running?

[The Argonaut]

I think it's more likely that it has to do with the outstanding lawsuits that are similar to the recently settled Dominion lawsuit. Being able to say Tucker is out could save them more money than he could ever actually make them selling ads for supplements

[BurtReynolds]

Lemon out too.

Tucker Carlson vs Don Lemon would be the election we deserve.

They’re still going ahead with their suit they want at least the same amount of money and a full retraction from fox. Firing him doesn’t stop any of those things happening.

[The Argonaut]

My suspicion is that they'll all result in settlements, and all those settlements will now be less expensive for Fox

[rick malone]

I don't think he runs for any kind of office. Too much to lose.

[Coach]

Fox Management didn't like some of the personal texts he sent during the discovery phase of that

[dimejinky99]

We’re seconds away from trump using this for his campaign agenda in some form

[The Argonaut]

I was wondering why we were in this thread

[dimejinky99]

If he’s not running, where to next for Tucker? Russia Today?

[Coach]

I would bet he lands another news media talking head job. He doesn't appear to have the stomach for public office. My two cents.

[dad]

at the end of the day, he's going to do what feels right.

[BurtReynolds]

It wouldn't surprise me if it had nothing at all to do with the dominion lawsuit. Carlson's been signaling that he was maybe out for a while, and I don't think that The Cathedral was going to tolerate him for much longer, outer party or not. He was getting a little too out of pocket.

[tree_]

I guess I hate him a little less now. Feels weird.

[Coach]

He's his own man now, so he's gonna pursue what he's going to pursue. But a guy like that isn't going to stray far. Maybe he goes to another conservative network, writes a book, etc.

[doug rr]

I bet he's going to be the 3rd base coach for the Las Vegas A'S

[Coach]

at the end of the day, he's going to do what feels right.

agreed
