Not the time to be arrogant, in my view.

Hello. George Walker Bush. How's retirement treating you?

Haha you beat me to it. While I thought 43 was great on 9/11 and the Iraq War Troop Surge, he was a *ussy when it came to dealing with media.

I hope he zapped the bastards for millions, but we’ll probably never know.

We need a class action lawsuit for all white people for mass media slander against all white people in the country.

Several thousand individual suits by conservatives would be a better tactic.

For one thing, it would take a lot longer and get lots of people lots of money (besides the lawyers) . And besides, why would you want to portray the optics of defending white-RATs in the legal action?

Sandmann offered a not-so-subtle warning to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

It seems like that Jack Dorsey has been around forever. About time someone goes after him.

a twitter settlement on the order of WaPo’s and CNN’s could SEVERELY affect twitter’s extremely weak bottom line ...

“Not the time to be arrogant, in my view.”

really? “arrogant”? like Sidney Powell and Michael Flynn celebrating their victories? was that “arrogant” too? or President Trump tweeting every time he won a major victory at SCOTUS? were those tweets “arrogant”?

“The other Big Media outlets are getting worried.”

they should be ... when the two biggest plaintiffs cave, the handwriting on the wall should be quite evident to the rest ... namely, they’re screwed and better settle in a hurry because the first to settle always get the better deal, whereas the price always goes up for the recalcitrant ...

As a side benefit, this is more ammunition for Kayleigh McEnany to shut down the presstitutes during the press briefings.

"Aren't you from the newspaper that just paid out millions for lying?"

Seriously doubt tweets coming a year after the initial complaint will be allowed before the jury.

Is the media going to claim they time traveled and knew about the future tweets as a mitigating circumstance to their shoddy, unprofessional and malevolent reporting?

Also have no doubt he got legal counsel approval first. They are simply leveraging publicity toward a future settlement.
