Trump was already down in the polls before the Manhattan indictment. He raised in 1 week what he struggled to raise in 6months before
He raised more in the polls at the last election and lost where it counted then too.

Actually the Manhattan indictment had an effect, It propelled Trump to the top of the Republican ticket which is what Democrats wanted

You see Biden is already attacking Trump. He would have little ammunition against any other candidate bar Trump so that was why the watery Manhattan indictment was done at this time
Chai! Na so we left woke liberal democrats get sense reach? Now that's power!

Agree with your effect but not with your conspiracy. Besides, dump might very likely face charges for Jan 6 during the primaries which will damage, or rather, propel him. What you gonna say then? Big ammunition?

If dump done nothing wrong he'd not be propelled into the mess he propelled himself in to. Instead, he propelled himself with impunity.

According to Biden, he’s going to fight for our freedoms against Republicans “dictating what health care decisions women can make”, a euphemism for killing babies in the womb, and “banning books”, a euphemism for keeping graphic pornographic books out of schools.
See how they tell you what to believe, bas. They present you with their "euphemism" and you gobble it up.

Was watching "bring your child to work day" where Biden was meeting parents and children in 5he White House. In your brainless euphemistic world they must have brought them there to be molested.

Dude, you saw his ex girlfriend on a video you posted saying he has to remember that he is black. She is dragging him for wanting to vote trump and reminding him he is black. A white woman saying blacks must vote democrats exactly what biden meant. You mumu sha. And it does not end there. The media was on his neck and a lot of people that decide to stay in the plantation was angry with him.

You should be calling yourself a slave
And 50 Cent, with his own mind and brain, agreed with them and dumped dump.

Is 50 Cent on a plantation sí?

And 50 cent agreed with her. Or you want to claim his ex brainwashed him to turn his back on dump like he has no brain of his own to see the light and dump dump?

You talk from both sides of your mouth. A lot of what biden did is racist too. Why are you not keeping the same energy?

You think trump is racist because he does not have diversity but you are quiet when the media and left attack any black person around trump as coon or uncle tom. 50cent was drag for showing support of trump.
Does 50 Cent too talk from both sides of his mouth?

A lot of what Biden said is not racist. Still, I don't just judge by what a person says but by what they do, and Biden is doing far much better than dump on the racial side. If he weren't, you wouldn't be calling him liberal and woke.

[quote author=benalvino3 post=122788768][/quote]As I said, a lot of what he did was racial. But guess that's to be expected from a multifaced piece of dump.

On top of all that history, Trump has repeatedly made racist — often explicitly so — remarks on the campaign trail and as president:

Trump launched his campaign in 2015 by calling Mexican immigrants “rapists” who are “bringing crime” and “bringing drugs” to the US. His campaign was largely built on building a wall to keep these immigrants out of the US.
As a candidate in 2015, Trump called for a ban on all Muslims coming into the US. His administration eventually implemented a significantly watered-down version of the policy.
When asked at a 2016 Republican debate whether all 1.6 billion Muslims hate the US, Trump said, “I mean a lot of them. I mean a lot of them.”
He argued in 2016 that Judge Gonzalo Curiel — who was overseeing the Trump University lawsuit — should recuse himself from the case because of his Mexican heritage and membership in a Latino lawyers association. House Speaker Paul Ryan, who endorsed Trump, later called such comments “the textbook definition of a racist comment.”
Trump has been repeatedly slow to condemn white supremacists who endorse him, and he regularly retweeted messages from white supremacists and neo-Nazis during his presidential campaign.
He tweeted and later deleted an image that showed Hillary Clinton in front of a pile of money and by a Jewish Star of David that said, “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” The tweet had some very obvious anti-Semitic imagery, but Trump insisted that the star was a sheriff’s badge, and said his campaign shouldn’t have deleted it.
Trump has repeatedly referred to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as “Pocahontas,” using her controversial — and later walked-back — claims to Native American heritage as a punchline.
At the 2016 Republican convention, Trump officially seized the mantle of the “law and order” candidate — an obvious dog whistle playing to white fears of Black crime, even though crime in the US is historically low. His speeches, comments, and executive actions after he took office have continued this line of messaging.
In a pitch to Black voters in 2016, Trump said, “You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?”
Trump stereotyped a Black reporter at a press conference in February 2017. When April Ryan asked him if he plans to meet and work with the Congressional Black Caucus, he repeatedly asked her to set up the meeting — even as she insisted that she’s “just a reporter.”
In the week after white supremacist protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017, Trump repeatedly said that “many sides” and “both sides” were to blame for the violence and chaos that ensued — suggesting that the white supremacist protesters were morally equivalent to counterprotesters who stood against racism. He also said that there were “some very fine people” among the white supremacists. All of this seemed like a dog whistle to white supremacists — and many of them took it as one, with white nationalist Richard Spencer praising Trump for “defending the truth.”
Throughout 2017, Trump repeatedly attacked NFL players who, by kneeling or otherwise silently protesting during the national anthem, demonstrated against systemic racism in America.
Trump reportedly said in 2017 that people who came to the US from Haiti “all have AIDS,” and he lamented that people who came to the US from Nigeria would never “go back to their huts” once they saw America. The White House denied that Trump ever made these comments.
Speaking about immigration in a bipartisan meeting in January 2018, Trump reportedly asked, in reference to Haiti and African countries, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” He then reportedly suggested that the US should take more people from countries like Norway. The implication: Immigrants from predominantly white countries are good, while immigrants from predominantly Black countries are bad.
Trump denied making the “shithole” comments, although some senators present at the meeting said they happened. The White House, meanwhile, suggested that the comments, like Trump’s remarks about the NFL protests, will play well to his base. The only connection between Trump’s remarks about the NFL protests and his “shithole” comments is race.
Trump mocked Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign, again calling her “Pocahontas” in a 2019 tweet before adding, “See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!” The capitalized “TRAIL” is seemingly a reference to the Trail of Tears — a horrific act of ethnic cleansing in the 19th century in which Native Americans were forcibly relocated, causing thousands of deaths.
Trump tweeted later that year that several Black and brown members of Congress — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — are “from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe” and that they should “go back” to those countries. It’s a common racist trope to say that Black and brown people, particularly immigrants, should go back to their countries of origin. Three of the four members of Congress whom Trump targeted were born in the US.
Trump has called the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus the “Chinese virus” and “kung flu.” The World Health Organization advises against linking a virus to any particular region, since it can lead to stigma. Trump’s adviser, Kellyanne Conway, previously described the term “kung flu” as “highly offensive.” Meanwhile, Asian Americans have reported hateful incidents targeting them due to the spread of the coronavirus.
Trump suggested that Kamala Harris, who’s Black and South Asian, “doesn’t meet the requirements” to be former Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s running mate — yet another example of birtherism.

I am impressed by the US judiciary, I can say they are the most important preserver of US democracy. Apart from a few questionable rulings like Judge Aileen Cannon (which was quickly corrected), US were/are largely apolitical. I wish the same can be said for our own judiciary.
I'm not so impressed, considering the shenanigans of some judges.

MyPillow founder and prominent election denier Mike Lindell made a bold offer ahead of a “cyber symposium” he held in August 2021 in South Dakota: He claimed he had data showing Chinese interference and said he would pay $5 million to anyone who could prove the material was not from the previous year’s U.S. election.

He called the challenge “Prove Mike Wrong.”

On Wednesday, a private arbitration panel ruled that someone did.

The panel said Robert Zeidman, a computer forensics expert and 63-year-old Trump voter from Nevada, was entitled to the $5 million payout.

That's reporting and News. Fox nor CNN will never put out a statement stating the true reason they let them go. Some for legal reasons. Reporters will get the information from some internal "source" who generally has an ax to grind or wants to deflect blame.

You just have to decide if you trust whatever outlet is doing the "reporting" and how it's sourced.
I don't have to "trust whatever outlet is doing the "reporting" and how it's sourced"" since I would be biased in whom I choose to trust. What I'd rather do is trust myself to consider the reported facts, as opposed to opinion, and not be swayed to believe what is reported or what I want to believe.

"Fox nor CNN will never put out a statement stating the true reason they let them go", is not a reason for me to choose to believe some factless tweet or make up what I should believe.

I have not seen where "reporting I linked said people from CNN said they were linked". What I've seen in what you linked is that "a New York Times article alleged", and that does not make it so.

In same article you linked, "CNN has not detailed why Lemon was let go from the company". And note your, "one of many reasons".

While Fox seems to have made a wise business decision. They are in a precarious position. They just settled for 700 Billion. Have another case for the same thing coming up where they could easily lose another $700 Billion. They have a shareholder suit in progress for how they handled all the election lies. They have a suit by a top producer ready to spill tea on all the racism, sexism, and machinations that happened in the company. And amongst all this they are renegotiating rates with Cable and Network providers.

I think this was their attempt to get in front of all of it and look like they are being responsive. And honestly, I think Fox made Tucker more than the other way around. Bill O'Reilly was before Tucker and got similar ratings before he was fired as well.
I agree. I also think the Dominion settlement would have included demands that would completely humiliate Tucker and Fox too, so getting rid of him was the best option.

Lemon was not fired for just one thing. And if he or Carlson sue, they'll both be open a can of worms of their own actions.

There's also the issue of insurance premiums. Fox's settlement with Dominion would most likely be paid by their liability insurers, and keeping liars like Tucker would significantly increase their insurance premiums by more than Tucker is worth, especially considering premium increase due to pending cases.

There'll be a new Fox in the end, if it does not first fold like News of the World.
