Here’s a good start
https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-files-15-billion-defamation-suit-new-york/story?id=125619941 Trump files lawsuit against The NY Times. I’d love to know how many lawsuits he’s filed as President? Can you think of any other Presidents who have filed ANY? Maybe I just didn’t know about them but he sure keeps his attorneys busy. Between all the lawsuits against him, and all the suits he files. Lawyers are probably his biggest group of employees. Helping the economy…..
@zeke4ahs I post actual legislation Trump got passed, reforms to the VA, and patient satisfaction metrics and you reply with some guys blog?
Are you actually going to argue that Tom Hanks has done more for veterans than Trump? Does Tom Hanks have the ability to pass legislation to that purpose? Control trillions in spending to that purpose?
Trump hatred can lead people to argue some extremely nonsensical things.

Looking at using RICO because people are protesting. This administration, man.
@carramrod Some guys’ blog who names all the ways Trump has hurt veterans….
@zeke4ahs it’s one guys opinion that recycles a bunch of the same lame innuendo. Trump did a lot of good work veterans, record VA satisfaction and strong electoral support from the Veteran community. Biden did great work as well, for that matter.
Both did much more than Tom Fuckin’ Hanks. Get serious.
I guess if left-wing media keep repeating the lie long enough, it just becomes a fact to their followers. Just like MAGA and right-wing media. **sigh**Like all the law firms?
Maybe for the opposing lawyers. From what I've heard, he's stiffed quite a few of his own.https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-files-15-billion-defamation-suit-new-york/story?id=125619941 Trump files lawsuit against The NY Times.

We've been through this before. Not "all" firms settled, and many of those that did settle, did so in all likelihood because they had broken the law in their internal DEI practices--from hiring to holding struggle sessions for white people. I laid this all out in a series of posts with you and Aloha, showing how nearly every single one (maybe all, I can't remember) had a claim against them for their DEI programs in addition to the security clearance claims. Law firms have a lot of legitimate legal exposure due to those programs.I guess if left-wing media keep repeating the lie long enough, it just becomes a fact to their followers.

You deny that a number of firms have rolled over? Trump claims they have .
You also latched onto a "could" in some NYT or some such report and ran with the notion that Trump was going to exclude lawyers from Article III federal courthouses via an Executive Order as a reason these firms would "roll over." Even after it was pointed out to you how that could not happen, you stubbornly refused to admit you were wrong.
And relying on a Trump claim for truth? Stop trolling.
Further, as the final nail in the coffin of this fantasy, it looks like many of those firms that "rolled over" are now actively involved in suing the admin. Some "roll over."
I've been litigating against BigLaw for 25 years now. I have no love lost for them. But this ridiculous narrative that Jamie Raskin et al. started that BigLaw is now in Trump's pocket is laughably stupid and only true partisan wackos are lapping it up. Unfortunately, "true partisan wackos" now compromise, I'm guessing, hundreds of millions of Americans.

Google AI has a different take on it:
what law firms have "knuckled under" to Trump's demands
. In exchange for dropping government actions against them, the firms pledged to provide millions of dollars in pro bono legal services for causes favored by the administration. Critics describe these agreements as "capitulating" or "knuckling under" to pressure from the White House.
- Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison: Reached a deal in March to provide $40 million in free legal aid after being targeted with an executive order.
- Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom: Announced a $100 million pro bono commitment in March to avoid being targeted with an executive order.
- Willkie Farr & Gallagher: Agreed to provide $100 million in pro bono work and to implement "merit-based" hiring in a preemptive settlement.
- Milbank LLP: Committed to $100 million in pro bono legal services in a deal reached to avoid an executive order.
- A&O Shearman: Was among a group of firms that reached an agreement in April. The firm committed $125 million in pro bono services.
- Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft: Also announced a settlement in April, including a $100 million pro bono commitment.
- Kirkland & Ellis: Reached a deal in April to provide $125 million in pro bono legal services.
- Latham & Watkins: Agreed in April to provide $125 million in pro bono services.
- Simpson Thacher & Bartlett: Pledged $125 million in pro bono services in April as part of its agreement.
- Executive orders were rescinded or not issued against them.
- Federal investigations into their hiring practices, specifically regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, were ended.
- Restrictions on attorneys' security clearances and access to federal buildings were removed.
- The deals also helped them maintain their ability to handle work for corporate clients with federal contracts.
- Perkins Coie
- Jenner & Block
- WilmerHale
- Susman Godfrey
Sorry, you were wrong on that one. Most of these law firms did roll over. I remain surprised that you don't see that.We've been through this before.

How about this for off the wall? He said this after blowing up the second Venezuelan "drug boat."
“What’s illegal are the drugs that were on the boat, and the drugs that are being sent into our country, and the fact that 300 million people died last year from drugs, that’s what’s illegal.”
We have less than 350 million US citizens. Place does look emptier lately . . . or not.

This is the verbal/numerical version of a typo, so I don't concern myself with it. But Trump's propensity to pull numbers out of his ass is unbelievable.
No, you just don't understand the issues at play or what was going on. I've laid it out explicitly, and you still don't understand. I think last time your excuse was you were busy and flying around a lot.Sorry, you were wrong on that one. Most of these law firms did roll over.
