Musk actually buys Twitter.

[Abhorsen]

Hahaha. AY Dios mio! Musk really is a sore loser. Isn't there a law against filing frivolous lawsuits? Peppercorn! From my point of view forcing Musk to buy Twitter for the highest price was money well spent. The asshole has a track record of using frivolous lawsuits and loopholes to avoid or delay payment. Fuck him. As a former very minor Twitter shareholder I'm certainly happy! 😄

Agreed with what the others were saying. IIRC he failed my legal opinion sanity check (quite simply: Rittenhouse legally innocent, the McMichaels (Ahmaud Arbery shooting) legally guilty).

 

[Pocky Balboa]

Ayo I wanna see that video do you have it where he said that?

Haha, sorry I was just exaggerating his commentary on Disney outsmarting and defeating DeSantis and the Florida government from about seven months ago ( he wrote "Don't mess with the Mouse" on the video description and "The Mouse Always Wins" on the video thumbnail, for ex). It should be the video titled "How Disney Outsmarted Ron DeSantis" on his channel; turned out the "Disney victory" did jack shit legally proving the legal experts who criticized Legal Eagle correct.

I used to watch him when he stayed strictly on pop culture and silly movie analysis; however, when he started getting into commentary on actual current political issues I stopped. I think it was when he utterly misrepresented the case against Roe v Wade and Constitutional Criticisms of it in the lead up to Dobbs. It showed that he was a hack lawyer who didn't understand anything of Originalism and basically dismissed it wholecloth. Which, look, you can disagree with Originalism and Textualism or follow your own methods of Constitutional interpretation, but just dismissing them as uncompelling when the majority of the Supreme Court are either both or one is stupid. For as often as many of us are unhappy with Roberts, both he and, believe it or not, Justice Kagan, along with the more hardcore conservative wing of the Court, all follow some version of those forms of Constitutional interpretation. You cannot just dismiss it and be a serious commentator on the US Supreme Court and cases before it.

I also watched him when he was doing pop culture and stopped when he went political
Although it was a different video than roe v wade. Don't remember which one anymore. Maybe rittenhouse? maybe something else.

Are you seriously posting a video from that leftoid cuck Legal "Disney is gonna crush the Florida state government" Eagle? LOL.

Are you seriously asking me if I pay attention enough to American political insanity to separate your brand of nutjob from your counterpart? From my point of view you're as much of a lunatic as the counterparts that you rail against. From where I stand your politics are Communists railing against fence sitters and the Would be Dictators of your Right. While your side rail against the Communists while screaming about imposing anti-democratic laws.

You're both crazies who want an absolute tyranny of a different sort from your opposition groups. None of you are democratic at all. Everyone would be better off with both groups gone and allowed to wall themselves off in reserves away from decent people.

Oh look the totalitarian calling others totalitarian. Where did I heard people walling off others?
Oh right, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
You might as well ask both to be marked with a patch.
Reminds of the Clintonian basket of deplorables.

Hah, don't be mad just because you fell for the Youtuber equivalent of Lionel Hutz.

No, wait, that was insulting.

To Mr. Hutz.

Lionel Hutz comes of as more competent than Legal Eagle, kek.

I am so, so tempted to post a compilation of Hutz' best moments from YouTube, right now.

@AmosTrask and @TheRejectionist, Civility Rule 2e says don't accuse others of being extremists (including being a nazi/communist) without hard evidence. This goes for all threads, not just this one. Simply because we have a number of reports right now, I'm going to let this slide with just a mod warning here. But the next time either of you two accuse another of being totalitarian or similar, have the proof (and make it good proof) in that post.

Point taken.

Though, the reason why I did use the word "totalitarian" in the case was because of this sentence :

Everyone would be better off with both groups gone and allowed to wall themselves off in reserves away from decent people.

While you could argue that he used the verb "allowed" in his sentence, he made a clear distinction between a "them" and "decent people", not to mention that I know plenty of occasions in history where people did got "walled" off from the rest of society. Though, you could also argue that mine is circumstantial evidence at best.

I won't argue with this warning though. So that's it for me.

 

[TheRejectionist]

Still, I am questioning why the ugly cunt is indeed warning against libertarianism preventively.

Same more or less. Though given my faith, it’s a bit more Byzantine Empire focused. Still counts though as they were the Roman Empire.
