Thank you, sir, for standing up for our democracy.

Isn't this called extortion? Or undue influence in connection with an agreement/contract?

Weiss? Is that a Jewish name?

He’s just one of many, who sold his soul to the devil. #Who’sGoingToStopHim.

Is Jeh Johnson still there and hasn't resigned yet? Unbelievably scary. What happened to him.

And Loretta Lynch. Schumer’s brother is also a partner there.

Principle versus interest

Sorry not sorry

They were literally targeted for one week. They capitulated within 7 days.

Something 🐠y going on...

Imagine if you will, "they were caught with their pants down" and Putin told Donny about it.

How much to get Paul Weiss to dance naked at the Lincoln Memorial? Or, did Trump not require that after all?

girlybojon.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well, yeah. It's called "repercussions".

When you surrender your soul, submit, back down, cave in, you display a penchant for weakness. Why in the world would any other existing law firm offer up their "respect".

Why didn’t they join Perkins Coie in their lawsuit?

The president of the United States extorting a law firm to get $40 million dollars worth of legal representation in exchange for not blacklisting the firm? This is acceptable in the USA? Where are the fire alarms? Where is Congress? This is insanity

It’s never been about efficiency. It’s tearing down the US strength, security, economy, health and education for the benefit of the tinpot war criminal and allow the uberrich to pick up assets cheap

Tariffs are to extort and break alliances.

You're absolutely right. This present crisis really boils down to money vs. principles.

The principle of rule of law and upholding democracy must always be prioritized...and prevail.

Money and politics should never mix.

Drag him, Mark

Unfortunately not. America is all about the dollar.

aliadair22.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump can’t fathom things like that since for him nothing is stronger than the dollar. Certainly not his so-called principles.

Maybe revenge…
