Ba-dam ba-DUMMMMMM

It's Santa Season, motherfuckers! So grab a glass of your favorite nog-type drink, settle down into your easy chair by the fire and mash F5 on this, your favorite monthly thread on these Something Awful forums. To kick things off from the last thread:



Given how West has surrounded himself with people like Milo and Nick Fuentes whispering in his ear and enabling him, I am honestly concerned that his current trajectory is going to end with someone dead. Either himself or someone in his inner circle, but he's seriously getting close to the point of no return.

Alabama has jumped in with both feet, and surprisingly enough, is making well-designed, high-visibility roundabouts with excellent drainage and signage.

The only open question is how high he decides to appeal, as apparently the 3-judge panel gave him a week to decide. If he en bancs the 11th circuit, he's probably hosed, and I bet the SC immediately turns it down. So the comedy is going to repeat itself at least one more time.

Yup, there is one more step left to old Trumpy, but man its a doozy: Either the SCOTUS basically admits the law doesn't apply to Trump the way it does to everyone else, or they turn him down. Either way Trump gets a little more delay action out of an appeal...

Why is this written like a slam dunk post and not a legal document? I agree with what he's saying but unless the one he mailed was way more formal and far less dumb I don't think that guy is a good lawyer?

The other legal people can weigh in, but everything short of a lawsuit (threat letters, demands to keep documents, random letters) all have no full legal weight. It's all just bullshittery at this phase anyways. So, if this lawyer is trying to get his clients' money, there's only one person that can actually deliver said money - Elon. So, write the threat letter in a way your target will understand, in language they understand, and take a hack at essentially settling early. Walk the audience through, step by step, in simple language, just how much you can gently caress them if they don't go along with it.

Elon hasn't given a gently caress about anything legal in the history of ever. He probably only understands or cares about dunk-post legal documents. So, write a dunkpost and if it doesn't work - it's a lot of actual slam-dunk arbitration cases that you get to work (and bill for).

An appeal only slows things down if it's accompanied by an injunction. Trump would need an entirely new approach to get a new injunction unless SCOTUS goes full fake laws.

As mentioned earlier, this isn't a formal legal document. It is, however, a challenge to Musk's greatest weakness, his ego. It's in that attorney's best financial interest for Musk to double down or worse, rather than correct his course of action and fulfill his legal and moral obligations to the fired Twitter employees. I think he's attempting to goad Musk into doing something incredibly stupid.

In my mind, Kanye quit making music after My Beautiful Dark Fantasy and moved to that nice big farm upstate where he can run around and play with all of the other artists who should have hung it up after they hit their peak. Weezer is there and everyone loves them, and no one figured out 20 years after the fact that there’s a lot of songs on Pinkerton that are pretty :chloe:.

This would be a better end to his story than whatever is coming, because I’m absolutely convinced someone is going to die because of his current bullshit. I don’t think Pete Davidson is Jewish but I hope his close protection detail is stepping it up accordingly.
