Surprised Trump has stuck with Pence tbh. Thought he might go with a new running mate to try and freshen things up a bit. Pence must be an utter lickspittle
CNN didn't want to go to court because going to court would have cost them more in attorney's fees than what they paid Sandmann (and his attorneys). Just as was done by the Washington Post after the case against them was initially dismissed with prejudice before being partly reinstated.That’s what was sued for CNN didn’t want it to go to court so they paid him off. Could be more could be less but it’s defo a shed load of millions.

The Sandmann's and their right-wing provocateur attorneys are getting what they want - publicity. They most certainly are not getting millions, much less hundreds of millions.
No. I don't agree. In fact, no one agrees with you given the original 33 charges filed against the Post were dismissed before 3 were reinstated solely for Sandmann to have the opportunity to try and prove the Post intentionally printed something they knew to be untrue (specifically that Mr. Phillips lied).They didn’t want it to go to court because they would have lost. They have money to burn. They are not some poor working class person being out-liared that just couldn’t afford to go to court. They were certainly going to lose.
And rightly so. I’m sure you can at-least agree on that. Cause the lie is a fact and what he rightfully got from them is undisclosed so it’s a matter of opinion.
finding it hard to reconcile the text and the source of that tweet tbh - Kristol is, and forever will be, scum

OK. So ignore the thread written by someone who does this for a living, whose thoughts are echoed by loads more, and stick to your notion Sandmann got loads of millions from CNN and WaPo.Why are you posting me some biased lawyer babbling on.
If CNN where in the right and could win the case there is not a snow balls chance in hell they would settle and tarnish themselves. The publicity would be gold against the republicans if they could win it. You’re buying into some serious Democrat propaganda if you think they were just thinking about money. At the expense of the egg on thier face. Money couldn’t buy what a victory would mean.
They were in the wrong what they did to a kid. Some Native American bangs a drum in the dorks face and they show the nation smearing him editing and making him out to be a racist bigot. They used him to push their propaganda.
No better than what fox and Trump do.
Does all the negative stuff about trump count as bait to you?
Or is it only bait when it’s about the Democratic Party?
Generally it’s irrelevant - as this is the Trump thread.
Post positive stuff about Trump by all means, but remember that saying ‘Obama did it too’ doesn’t count.
