That would make a statement. Kamala's husband simply going along with it is a terrible look.

The other firms must be dirty in some way.
Law firms settling? Unheard of.

I'm dead serious, there must be something UUUGLY that Trump and his minions are holding over these folks or are promising to do.

It just doesn't make any sense unless they don't want a protracted legal fight.

Please, somebody educate me.

Will we ever know?

Our wealth class are disappointing to me.

Talk is cheap. The actions of these law firms tell you exactly who they are.

Any Democratic clients these firms have should immediately find a new law firm that represents Democratic values.

Any Democratic clients these firms have should immediately find a new law firm that represents Democratic values. Not these weak sisters ...the vast majority of most of these ball-less surrender-monkeys .are dudes, not sisters.

If anyone could stand to fight, it would be these big law firms full of exceptional litigants.

Well, I guess I MAY have my answer as to whether Doug or Kamala will join us in the fight. I acknowledge that Emhoff may be as pissed as I am about this, but, we shall see.

and if not, we will know where he really stands on democracy.

and that really does say an awful lot!

Major revenge type move.

The caving is shameful, sure, but I bet they think it is never happening, and if they ever have to put in an appearance the hourly rates are going to be astronomical.

This "investment" was probably already happening, just being re-branded and packaged as a concession to Trump.

I still don't like it.

Now if they start dropping anti-Trump clients and lawyers, we're in even bigger trouble.

$100 MILLION in free work for Conservative causes?? How about $100 million FREE to people FUCKED over by Corporations??

I am disappointed

#/%&*?! ...

And it's working.

So far, they're getting capitulation from the most important three: media, law firms and intellectuals (i.e., colleges.)

Why the fuck are they all caving?

maybe a Ferrari in the garage, trips and vacations on a private jet and fat FUCKING tax cuts for themselves. What do they care about SS, medicaid, suffering or anything else?

They just want their lives of LUXURY to continue unabated no matter how many times they have to kiss Trumps ass.

Working on making it easier for Dump and his minions to break the law?

But they're excellent surrender monkeys.

It you don’t do what I want I will destroy you.

So BS that they caved. I hope they lose business.

this makes me feel sick.

So they can't claim it as a donation or expense.

Welcome to irrelevance, Willkie Farr.

What's fair is fair. Democrats should tell these law firms that Democrats expect to be treated fairly and demand at least $100M (adjusted for inflation which looks to be a lot) of pro bono work if we have a fair election in 2028 and Democrats win. Otherwise we will bar them from federal buildings etc... etc....

Is critical for fascism.

isn't a thing anymore. It's just whatever the orange menace wants.

And most of the rich people are ready to accept whatever he demands, because they get to pay less in taxes.

The rest of us? Well, we're fucked, but hey, they live lives where they don't have to ever so much as see one of us, so it's cool.

about how we both learned in school that the United States is a country of laws, that no man is above the law, it applies equally to rich and poor.

We were taught that our government has checks and balances which would keep a tyrant from taking over.

And that most people are decent. That one is the biggest lie of all.

Well, we're not kids anymore and it is blindingly obvious that none of that is true. Some of it is now darkly hilarious.

so i'll just copy the 3 replies from doug's only post on blue sky from four months ago...
a few people have replied to it regarding this news:

Aiding and abetting the destruction of whatever remains of this country's democracy. We won't forget this.
