common fox news trope:
anchor: donald trump claims dominion switched votes. that’s a bold statement. what do you think about that?
guest: it is a very strong and powerful statement, and if the facts are true, he’s 100% right for saying it and everyone saying anything different is a whiny baby, i’m not a baby.
anchor: is it possible that those facts could be true?
guest: absolutely.
So will Dominion Pillows be available at BB&B?
Cause if puts his video out, Dominion’s lawyers have exhibit A
Lol of course. Once a ghoul, always a ghoul.

“She attended multiple Oval Office meetings and made calls from empty offices in the West Wing.”
I feel this is very good news. R Congressman are falling in line with Trump (for the most part) right now not only because they fear the base, but also because they really lose nothing by doing so. However, if Ivanka is going after Rubio’s seat (and Laura is going after the NC seat) it completely changes the dynamic. I think you’re going to see Republicans (Senators especially) start to push back against the Trump clan if they see the possibility of a personal loss from continuing to prop up Trump’s popularity.
Really just need to convince Jr. to move to Texas.
Did she work from early in the morning to late in the evening?
Ivanka Trump might have the least self-awareness of any human being currently living, rivaled only by her husband.
Working hard, thank you
You can’t sue us! We put up a disclaimer!
So law bros do the last two lines of the disclaimer essentially negate the rest of it?
Does this even matter? Don’t they still have an editorial decision on what o broadcast regardless of who pays for it?
I hope Dominion and Smarmatic files to find out.
no
they don’t have to
it doesn’t matter if it’s coherent or not, just saying it is enough to make it plausible enough for GOP senators to use it as an excuse to acquit
Right.
The argument is absurd on its face, it gives the President a literal freeroll to do ANYTHING in the lame duck period.
Its basically the emoluments thing for everything. “You can’t touch me, I’m President” followed instantly by “You can’t touch me, I’m not President anymore.”
I think the disclaimer probably protects them. The last two lines are broad statements of opinion and don’t implicate Dominion, Smartmatic, or anyone else.
Not sure there is an editorial issue, since they sold Lindell the airtime, after which I assume the contract says he’s free to do with it what he wants.
Lindell definitely going to get sued for this though.
Impeachment is whatever the house says it is by simple majority
Conviction is whatever the senate says it is by 2/3
Any other arguments are complete bullshit. Its a purely political, legislative act. I’d be shocked to see SCOTUS step in.
I don’t know how it works in the US but if ITV (say), a commercial channel in the UK, sold someone a block of time to do whatever the buyer wanted I’m pretty sure ITV would be jointly liable for whatever was broadcast.
That’s not even a grift. More just basic fairness. It would grow them by 10,000%.
