Absolutely true that Trump will conn his base into believing that he has a chance of winning his cases. Now he knows that he will lose in the lower courts, but will be determined to take it to the Supreme Court in the belief that his Supreme Court appointees now owe him the favours for their appointments. That said he will end up with millions to fill his own pocket on the backs of his minimal wages base. That is his primary aim!!
The judges despise him and dgaf about his stupid case. He won't get leave to appeal to the USSC.
Why is it a non-story? These are huge corporations that enormous amounts of communication pass through and info is disseminated. What they allow or not allow is a very big story (and not just because it involves The One Whose Name Shall Not Be Uttered).
It's a non story because it's stupid and it can't win, because the whole legal theory is ludicrous and assinine. It's like me suing Fred Zed because I don't like the moderating on the board and claiming Fred Zed is part of the Canadian government.
Spot on. Trump averaged something like 2 lawsuits per week over the past 40 years. Quite remarkable.
I think you're wrong, it's not stupid. Just manipulative. His intention isn't to win, it's to rile up his base. He's going to get them to fund his own propaganda piece, and frame his own narrative about how big tech and the courts are out to get him, then use that as a springboard to push his own agenda, be that making a run at 2024, or simply keeping himself in the limelight. Trump is so readable, that it makes you question how everyone doesn't see his actions for the manipulation they are. You could just say those people are gullible, but I think it's bigger than that. I think the right is just so fed up with the lunacy of the far-left that they're vulnerable to anyone who verbally recognizes it. I don't take the blame off them for falling for the manipulation, but it's a bigger picture than just saying his followers are gullible, stupid, uneducated, or racist.
The stupid is that his base actually falls for it. Anyone with a shred of sense and even basic legal knowledge could see that the lawsuit is silly. And it follows many other silly lawsuits last fall about "stop the steal", all of which were slapped down by the courts.
Says the guy whose last significant post on this board was about a trans PH D student who wrote a thesis stating that attributing gender to dogs and cats is politically incorrect.
But that's just part of the Big Lie. Most Dem voters just want sane, competent government that's somewhat more socially conscious - i.e. government funded health care, abolition of all cannabis laws, etc.
