It's not too extreme for them, the prospect of losing a $2.7 billion lawsuit is too much for them. He may be the sacrificial lamb taking the fall for Maria and Jeanine or they may go next. Giuliani's radio show apparently started airing a disclaimer before his show, which they neglected to tell him about. He heard it and flipped. These moves indicate to me that those lawsuits are strong and compelling, unlike the 60+ lawsuits filed by Giuliani & Co about the alleged election fraud. And call me optimistic, but I don't think Trump TV is going to happen. I really think he screwed the pooch with the Capitol insurrection. Those people are facing very real consequences, something they never expected after watching him get away with murder these last 4 years. But he hasn't lifted a finger to help any of them, those pardons never materialized, he's not concerned in the least about the significant jail time they may end up doing, the fines, the legal fees, the ways this could ruin their lives forever with felonies or federal offenses on their records. I'm hoping that's the key to breaking the spell he had over them. He's out of power, his pulpit has been taken away in real life and online, and they're paying a heavy price for their devotion to someone who does not care what they did for him. |

It's kind of a basic legal concept that you can't stand up in front of the world and openly defame a company with accusations that are patently false and destructive to their business. Hannity knows how to do it without including direct defamation. Like well geez, I don't know what happened, but there are just too many questions here and the only fair thing is to hold "do over" elections in the contested states. I heard him say that. "Do over" elections. As if that's legal and Constitutional. |

"Do over" elections. As if that's legal and Constitutional. I feel like the past 4 years have really muddied the waters in terms of clear and direct defamation. Donald Trump couldn't go 1 day without lying, defaming, and making wild accusations against any number of people or organizations and he's never been held accountable. Likewise with Giuliani, he makes absolutely insane claims every single day. If every company or person were to file suit, he'd be tied up in court til the day he dies. And Fox News casts all kinds of aspersions constantly, I guess those 3 in particular must have gotten too specific. It's just felt like a Wild West, consequence-free environment for so long, where people post all kinds of utter nonsense on the internet and it somehow becomes a narrative that people believe in real life (the Marjorie Taylor-Green insanity being the most recent example). I'm glad to see lawsuits and charges pressed, it's restoring a sense of gravity that's been missing for too long. |

I've always liked Cheryl Hines but her marriage to RFK jr gives me pause.

Good. I linked to the footage in the “Stars I Hate” thread, but before he stormed off the set like a baby over getting called on his Meghan obsession, he ragged on his co-presenter for her “miniskirt” which totally wasn’t a miniskirt. He is just an awful person. And his H&M criticism came off as deranged because it was, and all fueled by the fact that Meghan had drinks with him once then ghosted him. |

I have always thought if Good Morning Britain didn't want Piers doing his Meghan-bashing shtick, they wouldn't keep scheduling those segments all the time. It's not like Piers has had much new to say about the matter. It's usually the same script over and over again.
What's notably different about this particular segment is that normally the show brings in two dunces to argue pro and con while Piers shouts them down. This time they brought in a non-dunce to say thoughtful things and that seems to have been the key agitator.
PS: The name may be apt, but "Piss Moron" is gratingly vulgar to me and it's always unpleasant to read. JMO.
