Disney didn't choose Free Speech, they chose an attempt to recover $4 billion they lost because they didn't in the first place.
Last comment ... another reason this is so important is because our convicted felon and defamer President is going after law firms that took him to court for alleged illegal activities. He's trying to convince voters that he didn't do anything wrong and the actions were all related to stopping a political opponent. That narrative needs to be challenged. His actions were, at the very least, unethical and unprofessional and the President of the U. S. should be better than that.
In particular, I'm talking about the January 6th insurrection. Trump's action were not related to "official" duties of the President. If he hadn't run for reelection, he may have very well been found guilty of the charges against him. Our President has no intention to be ethical or lawful unless voters insist. That's why educating the public is so important.
You're an attorney so how about dealing with the issue of what's an OFFICIAL duty of the Presidency vs. what's not. For starters, I'd argue that election-related matters are unofficial duties of the President. In California, candidates for office (emphasis on incumbents) know that election activities must be kept separate and distinct from daily office activities. The same applies to private, personal activities. Taxpayers should not be on the hook for related expenses. Educate taxpayers!
time for IMPEACHMENT, don't you think?

Trump will have people killed, he's a monster
Harris used the word, prevail!
Revelation 1:14-15 offers a clue that Jesus's skin was a darker hue and that his hair was woolly in texture. The hairs of his head, it says, "were white as white wool, white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace."
Miller is so rude.

It's May 1, 2024, not April.
Since it is not understandable why the august pinnacle of our "rule of law" is seemingly trying to to nullify the prosecution of a Putinized Trump, is it possible that, becaus of a crippling extortion hold a Putanized Trump might have over a Trump/Republican created SCOTUS majority, they are paving the way for a sitting democracy protecting President to eliminate the danger presented by a Putinized Trump getting close to the most potent levers of power in the world?
It's not about trying to influence the election in a generic way. I don't think anyone would have cared about his infidelity, since that's between him and his wife. It was that he went about trying to cover it up as if he knew that the trouble he went through to do so was illegal. His wife probably doesn't have access to his business records anyway.
Blagoyovich was the governor, not a mayor.
The tree goes down on January 6.
Hutchinson is a very impressive young woman. She's level headed. Were but all our youth as she is, we'd have few social crises.
Loved your discription - "non coup activities" re Meadows Ari. Started my day with a belly ache laugh! Thanks for your show. Yvonne 🇦🇺
It sounded like he was giving direction for how it was supposed to go down.
