We were in a Lyft today and my wife spotted near the end of the ride that the driver was listening on his ear buds to a youtube video that was entitled the Secret Execution of the Traitor Mark Milley. That optional tip quickly dissapeared.

"That optional tip quickly dissapeared."

Why? Was the ride bad because he a right-wing nutter butter?

the tip is optional. the ride doesn't have to be "bad" to decide that you don't want to give one.

if my driver was consuming unhinged political violence porn via podcast during a ride i wouldn't be inclined to tip them, either.

i'd just be glad i survived the drive.

It's still a bribe. Except now no one cares.

Well, according to the Supreme Court, it's not, or not necessarily. One of the more mystifying rulings from last term (or the term before). Giving a public official money as "appreciation" after the bribed act does not count as bribery and is not covered under federal bribery statutes. It was a great day for all mobsters.

Paramount in Settlement Talks With Trump Over ‘60 Minutes’ Lawsuit

A settlement, if reached, would be an extraordinary concession by a major U.S. media company to a sitting president.

“… Shari Redstone, Paramount’s controlling shareholder, strongly supports the effort to settle, according to two people with knowledge of her thinking. Ms. Redstone stands to clear billions of dollars on the sale of Paramount, the media empire founded by her father Sumner Redstone, in a deal with Skydance, an entertainment company backed by the billionaire Larry Ellison and run by his son David.

… A settlement would be an extraordinary concession by a major U.S. media company to a sitting president, especially in a case in which there is no evidence that the network got facts wrong or damaged the plaintiff’s reputation.

It could also cause an uproar within CBS News and among the “60 Minutes” staff. Journalists at the network have expressed deep concern about the notion of their parent company settling litigation that they consider tantamount to a politician’s standard-issue gripes about a news organization’s editorial judgment, according to several people familiar with internal discussions.

Edward Paltzik, Mr. Trump’s lawyer on the case, wrote in a statement on Thursday: “Real accountability for CBS and Paramount will ensure that the president is compensated for the harm done to him, and will deter the Fake News from further distorting the facts to advance a partisan agenda. President Trump looks forward to seeing this case through to a just conclusion.” …”

Of course. Bully and intimidate all non-right wing media sources into either becoming more pro-Trump, or at least stay silent about him. It's literally the Viktor Orban playbook he used so successfully against the media in Hungary. But there's nothing to worry about concerning Trump 2.0, right, Trumpers?

I am not sure whst concessions you think are you going to get out of the board Trump trolls. they WANT this to happen. Anything they said previous was just to troll you into a response.
 


I guess they will give just about anyone a White House press pass these days ? Or Jones is lying, which is usually the best first assumption.
