The WSJ says YouTube "has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a 2021 lawsuit that President Trump brought against the company and its chief executive over its suspension of Trump’s account after that year’s riot at the U.S. Capitol." www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
Exclusive | YouTube to Pay $24.5 Million to Settle Lawsuit Brought by Trump
The Google subsidiary is the final Big Tech company to resolve a trio of personal lawsuits that Donald Trump filed against social-media platforms.
www.wsj.com
Chickenshit cowards. The lot of ‘em. Never thought you’d be able to figure out the courage of an executive simply by taking the inverse of their wealth. These nerds should have been bullied more when they were kids to learn the truth: you don’t submit to bullies. You stand up to them.

Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

The conservatives used to shut down the government over a few hundred million dollars. Seriously.
Yet Trump blows billions and sues the govt for billions and gets a “free” jet from Qatar that the govt will spend a billion on then let him take it with him… and not a peep.

FFS - Call YOUR OWN GD reps to bully them into moving Jeffries if they are Dems. They elect him leader. They can elect someone else IF their own constituents are unhappy with him. This is how it works. Screaming Primary Jeffries from LA is not going to do anything.
