Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

How could the free market betray us like this?!?
They don’t understand that made lawyers are a) extremely difficult and expensive to recruit and maintain and b) a thing that not every lawyer is. When the mob gets a lawyer that will go to prison for them that’s one of their most valuable resources, much like a good fixer. Magas seem to think that those are both just aspects of being a lawyer and that legitimate lawyers will be cool with it.
The mob knows to pay their lawyers. Another reason why trump is a dollar store version of a mobster
Yeah they understand that it takes a carrot and a stick. You pay them out the ass and kill snitches
I'm convinced the only reason trump has the suit going in Britain is that his staffer couldn't find any American lawyers and trump was pissed. So someone realized there was more idiot lawyers over seas.
It's a civil suit so he could end having to represent himself and that would be even more tragically funny.
Honestly, getting stiffed on millions of dollars in fees is a small price to pay for agreeing to represent a shit sandwich in the first place.
Luckily the only people likely to hire them will now drink whatever kool-aid Mike spits out and pass over them for being treasonous, communist, socialist, atheists.
Imagine being so thoroughly scammed that you're willing to spend all your amassed wealth fighting against democracy on behalf of gaslighting fascists.
Dude threw away everything for nothing. Amazing.
These lawyers were happy to take a paycheck to subvert democracy.
Seems only fair that they should have some skin in the game.
If taking on the trash case of a broke client bankrupts the firm, that’s natural consequences.

"Daddy Donny doesn't pay his lawyers and gets away with it, so why can't I do the same?"
he needs to have a sit down with Rudy
Is he still butthurt over his product being called lumpy pillows? That clip makes me laugh so hard.
I feel like the company should've seen this coming a mile away. Lindell's a crook, of course he's not gonna pay shit lmao
Smartmatic and Dominion are about to inherit a pillow business.

Appreciate you posting this!
Learning how the First Amendment functions the hard way.
I'm just spit balling here; but I think Mr Lumpy Pillow might have been better off as a crackhead.
See, Mike Lindell liked crack before the Lumpy Pillow Co™ but there isn't a drug stronger than sheep-minded snowflake stupidity and the means to be loud and obnoxious with it.
He was never in this much financial trouble, which is quite a feat, and his mental state could be argued was many times more sane as a cooked coke fiend.
