So just to be clear these Paramount Executives are discussing paying money to the incoming president of the united states with the specific intention of influencing an official action of the government?

Holy cow. Executives at CBS’s parent company have discussed settling Trump’s lawsuit against CBS News/60 Minutes, because they need the Trump administration to sign off on a planned corporate merger. www.wsj.com/business/med...

That’s not exactly what I meant, but fair point.
Trump sues for "whatever" and the company settles, and gets what they wanted him to do
Extortion???
Just sayin’.
Trump lawyer : "Yes, your honor."
Roberts, ostentatiously swiping political dirt from his hands: "Official act."
Bangs gavel. "Case dismissed."
Ppl: Okay what now
Court: Nothing. Have a good day Donald
Of course, you had better not stop paying your protection money, and accept any hikes with grace
so grateful
He is so, so good at this.
Even "The Godfather" wasn't THIS bad...IMHO!
So sickening 🥲
(This is all Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’ fault/plan.)
"Bribes".
Just straight up "Bribes".
Republicans don't care.
Democrats can't do anything.
And he wants the money because it makes he feel all Wizard of Oz.
Also, now follow me closely, an elected official suing the press for libel/slander for saying TRUE things about him he doesn't like is EXACTLY THE FIRST FUCKING AMENDMENT!
No room for capitalism in government.
The US is gone. UGH
people schmeeple i guess
I am dejected that this is not the first nor the last disappointing event of the next four years.
Either way, the SCOTUS has approved it.
Cooperation is idiocy. You have to defect when your opposite does.
Any idea of the order, rule of law or decorum you might've had about the US were either illusions or delusions.
They are the ruling class. We are peasants. The rules are for them, not us.
If he is not doing anything illegal, can it be considered illegal in the part of @cbs?
Then promptly do nothing about it.
So, add pay Trump a settlement to the list of ways to bribe Trump along with pay his business, donate to his charity, donate to his inauguration, and donate to his presidential library.
Oh, that's only if you do the bribery *after,* though, isn't it.
There's no bottom and everyone has their price!
No wonder they're pushing everyone to anarchyyy🎶

The shakedown has already started. How long until we reach Caligula style practices of murdering the out of favor wealthy and just confiscating their estates?
