Trump

[Freddeno]

So do R senators want trump gone? And will they vote to convict?

MSN

I think they will vote no to the thing,
1) They are afraid of threats on themselves and family
2) They say it may cause more violence and disturbance

 

[Tony Towner]

A simple majority prevents him from being able to run again apparently. Different level to the full impeachment conviction of 2/3. They'll get that

Really, i thought it was 2/3 needed for anything holding him out

Are you sure? It reads to me that this vote can only take place after the vote on impeachment - if he is not convicted can they still vote on it?

"Dominion Voting Systems has filed a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani, who led President Trump's efforts to spread baseless claims about the 2020 election. Giuliani falsely claimed Dominion conspired to flip votes to President Biden."

Ooops Rudi. Who could have seen Dominion doing that? Oh, yeah, All the networks...

I'm pretty sure they have to convict him first - otherwise a Republican senate could have preemptively barred HRC etc.

MSNBC caught out by someone sending in what they claimed to be footage of this weeks meeting between Trump and McCarthy at Mara-Lago. Either someone didn't check the tape or they did and thought "fuck it"...

 

[Premier Quality]

That is brilliant!

 

[t3ch]

I mean it's credited footage so seems a good troll

 

[t3ch]

the dominion stuff is so good. I love how they're going after everyone and shutting them up. decency and objective facts couldn't stop conservatives from spreading bullshit, but the threat of defamatory lawsuits sure as hell did.

edit -- for context, newsmax is like OAN in that it's a newer, batshittier version of fox news that's popped up during trump, that's even further right wing. they have been peddling these lies for months, got lawyered AF by dominion, had to give on-air retractions and read statements where they had to self-own being liars, and now are super wary of airing anything potentially negative against the voting company.

this mypillow dipshit has been giving crazy interviews all over the place and just spouts bullshit, even for a crazy right winger.

The anchor had to apologise to Lindell, unbelievably.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Here is the 285-page, $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit that election tech company Smartmatic filed today in state court in Manhattan against Fox, Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell.

Quite a start: "The earth is round. Two plus two equals four. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the 2020 election for President and Vice President of the United States. The election was not stolen, rigged or fixed. These are facts. They are demonstrable and irrefutable."

 

[Kenny]

No idea if this is genuine but I hope it is

 

[The Saturday Boy]

It’s genuine. The Screen Actors Guild responded with a short statement.
“Thank you”
