If the family brings a suit against him/Fox his rear end is likely out the door ASAP. Fox has been cleaning house lately and getting rid of a lot of Ailes allies, and Hannity's probably name #1 on the short list. Especially since Fox is getting pretty tired of coughing up money in big, public lawsuits as of late.

Why are the Murdoch sons cleaning house? The lawsuits or are they just disgusted with the network?

At about 0300 on August 7, 1967, Coastal Defense Group Sixteen's compound came under vicious attack by two Viet Cong battalions. The assault began with an intense mortar barrage followed immediately by the advance of troops. Fitzgerald, the senior American commander, immediately ordered a retreat of the civilians within the compound. Because of the compound's location adjacent to a river and the aggressors' position, the only escape route was via water in small boats.

Lieutenant Fitzgerald and three others delayed their retreat as long as possible in order to provide covering fire and to direct fire from surrounding friendly forces. Many calls were made to orbiting gunship aircraft, artillery units, and Fast Patrol Craft to provide defensive fire. The Viet Cong attack, however, was swift and well coordinated. It soon became apparent that the South Vietnamese forces were decimated and that the American bunker was the sole remaining source of resistance. As the situation deteriorated, Fitzgerald ordered his last three remaining defenders to retreat while he used arms fire to cover their escape. Fitzgerald was mortally wounded in this action.

A good man. I hope his boat survives.

Yeah the US is fuckin' stupid. Almost no job postings come with salaries unless it's hourly. Then you have no way of knowing if they're lowballing you or if you're getting the standard company rate.

Some companies will ask to look at your tax returns when they verify your salary at your last job.

Trump won't be pardoned or stand trial.

He might be impeached but his mental and physical deterioration is progressing (he managed to forget what day it was in a speech this week and think it was his birthday when it wasn't) and by the time this all gets to a courtroom, if it does, he will have either died from the stress or become sufficiently incompetent that his lawyers will manage to get him ruled incapable of standing trial.

I'm not sure where this sunshine and roses it'll all work out bullshit is coming from. We have a sitting President who lost the popular vote and is compromised by business interests and foreign powers while not being held accountable by one of the most hilariously corrupt Congresses in the world.

That Congress is only in power due to concentrated gerrymandering efforts and voter suppression.

We know that Russia (the same country that he is beholden to) at the very least tried to hack into election machines.

If Trump doesn't go down this country is pretty clearly​in a Constitutional crisis. The one thing that's saved us is that he's loving stupid. We're only not headed to a dictatorship because the evil guy is retarded.

Why would I be sad any of these idiots die? They don't give a poo poo about anyone their policies kill.

Can't you get in trouble for lying this much as a lawyer? We had a discussion about it the other day. Lawyers can't make knowingly false declarative statements like that and he said the President is under investigation, he's not under investigation, and now he doesn't know that he's under investigation.

Oof, I don't know about that. If you have to dehumanize someone first then you should probably stop what you're doing. If nothing else you're exercising muscles that you're really better off leaving alone.

Scalise is a human being. He feels pain, sadness, and anger, along with joy and love. In his case these thoughts and emotions are probably blunted somewhat by sociopathy, but they are still there in some form. He has a rich inner world that no one but him knows or can understand, and we'd all be better off if it were extinguished forever.

Didn't he ask Rosenstein to write up that reasoning, after deciding to fire Comey? Doesn't it not matter at all regardless because Trump fired Comey to impede the Russia investigation, making it obstruction of justice that he did so even if god himself rode in on a cloud announcing it to be the correct course of action?

He did and Rosenstein testified that he was asked to write it, so you're right. If you admit to multiple people "I fired that N-word because he's black" after you got your assistant manager to write a bad performance evaluation of the guy, you're gonna get sued and lose. Even in an at-will state.

Trump admitted in a loving interview he did it because of the Russia investigation. That's why it's maddening he's still President.

It would be interesting to see what a lawyer who wasn't a glorified Lionel Hutz would come up with to explain Twitter.

I imagine that somewhere there is a legal precedent that speech that is done by reflex does not count as a meaningful speech. (Someone spills hot coffee on you and you yell "I'll kill you" doesn't count as a threat, since you didn't have time to contemplate and plan your speech. Twitter is not declarative statements, but is just shows the process of thought.

But none of Trump's lawyers are smart enough to make that case, and Trump wouldn't stand for it, so.

Well in the Muslim ban court case his tweets were cited by the court as official statements.
