    O’DONNELL: So not concerned about the appearance of corruption with this?

    TRUMP: I can’t say, because — I can’t say — I’m not concerned. I don’t — I’d rather not have you ask the question.

    Corrupt piece of shit.

    Has he ever been able to answer a difficult critical question? Like EVER?

    Didn’t they get sued (by trump) and settle over doing this with the Harris interview? Can’t the precedent be used against them for doing it again to win another lawsuit against them very easily? Or couldn’t they use that precedent against trump to force the full interview as well?

    I don’t know much about US law but this seems very legally sketchy to me. I guess kissing ass takes over the law in these cases.

      No, because the settlement was a bribe, not a decision that CBS made because they were concerned about losing the lawsuit. The owners were trying to complete a merger that required governmental approval and decided that paying that settlement would be better than getting the merger blocked.

      I don’t know for sure, but I imagine settling out of court, specifically avoids setting a precedent. Which in this case means if they want to run it, they’d not have the precedent to protect them, but also have to choose settling, or paying to fight an overtly partisan court system right up to the supreme court.

      They’ve capitulated enough for us to know that was never going to be N option.

      No network is going to do more to draw the attention of the administration, than allow late night hosts to make jokes about him, and even that isn’t going to last much longer I expect.

      IANAL but my elementary understanding is that, no, a settlement results in no ruling from the court, and therefore no precedent is set.

          I use Deezer but even that is owned by some Russian oligarch. At this point, you’d have to make your own app to avoid any of these parasites!

    Those Nazis are murdering innocent Americans without due process. How can that be? Why isn’t anyone standing up, helping, resisting, even throwing paint or helping people escape? And those so-called “peaceful” protests? Your own president literally said he “shits on you” it’s all over that video and still people think peaceful protests will fix anything? America honestly makes me physically sick right now.
