Shameful.
Disgusting.
History will remember the Paul Weiss law firm as complicit in ALL the crimes past, present and future of this admin 🤬
folded like a cheap suit when Trump stamped his feet. What a bunch of cowards.
#resist
Uh, the same veterans that Trump pulled the rug out from under?
Comparable to an evil kid who has stolen someones lunch money on the playground forcing the victim to apologize for having lunch money in the first place.
Seriously: it isn't. It is, unfortunately, already happening. My last hope for all current and future inhabitants of the US is focused on the Supreme Court to uphold and defend the law.
"The Extortionists!"
It keeps working so Donald will keep doing it.
So, I guess we’re done.”
Oh, of course Johnson v X’Kyzcxzz.”
**Lawyer is actually playing Minesweeper. **
TOTAL SELLOUT.
Frankly, ‘the White House said” carries very little weight w anyone in this world. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/us/politics/paul-weiss-deal-trump-executive-order-withdrawn.html
Cowards!
The people in the position to fight for Democracy proving they have no balls! They can go to hell.
Part of my misgivings is that he's saying this law firm should support DEI by ensuring equality in hiring practices.
Lets see this deal in writing or it's just more of F47's bloviating.
The new Repubs weapon!!!
There is no going back to the old social contract.
We need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission like they had in South Africa where they would forgo criminal prosecution if they admitted in public to all their crimes.
Otherwise we will never have peace in this country again.
Fight your challengers the hardest and brutally.
(See Erdogan as well)
And then act accordingly.
Everyone is caving.
It couldn't possibly be more disgusting.
Trump has earned yet another moniker - Mob Boss
Politically binding an independent law firm?
Remove 47 from office
He's worse than 2x impeached 45
