You Get What You Settle For
Dominion Voting Systems settled with Fox at the midnight hour for $787 million. Court was in session for the $1.6 billion defamation trial. They had 7,000 exhibits. They had a strong case and could have made history. They won’t be remembered for their patriotism in taking down a Republican fascist propaganda machine during the greatest threat to democracy in the history of America. We needed a hero and they failed us. It’s all about the money. Fox got off easy. They have $4 billion so this payoff won’t be felt plus now they don’t have to fess up to it’s audience. It’s audience has been getting all of its news about Dominion from Fox.
Tucker Carlson got fired. Was that part of the settlement?
Trump’s Number 1 fan Mike Lindell was ordered to pay $5 million to a cybersecurity expert who debunked his election data. He took the my Pillow Guy on by entering his “Prove Mike Wrong” election fraud challenge where Mike Lindell offered $5 million to anyone who could prove him wrong about his election fraud claims and somebody did.
Trump is suing Michael Cohen for $500 million.
Trump has been in New York for the $250 million lawsuit brought by Attorney General Letitia James over his business dealings. Nobody showed up to avenge him. The MAGA militia didn’t show up to rescue him. They were no shows. There was no MAGA show which has always worked for Trump. The media wasn’t distracted by any MAGA shows. The only people who showed up were a small group of New Yorkers who booed and chanted “New York hates you!” as he drove by.
The E. Jean Carroll civil suit rape and defamation trial starts this week in New York. Trump won’t be there. He isn’t required to be there so he won’t be. Will he settle?
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis threatened to build a prison or a competing theme park right next to Walt Disney World to retaliate against them for resisting a state takeover of its special taxing district.
Stop The Steal organizer Ali Alexander was accused of, and settled for confessing to, soliciting “dick pics” from teenagers. Ali Alexander is not only a traitor to his country, he’s a groomer. One more groomer on the repug’s side to the Democrats’ steady 0.
Patrick McCaughey III, the MAGA who nearly crushed officer Daniel Hodges with a police shield on January 6 was sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison. The feds wanted 15. He’s one of the many idiots who are going to jail for attacking the Capitol Gwen they had never been into politics before and had no real idea of what happened in the 2020 election but they wanted to be part of the action so he showed up and got caught up in the evil call of the crowd and now he must settle for living life in a cell for 7 1/2 years.
At least there won’t be Tucker Carlson in jail.
