He's establishment. Nothing will happen to him.

Like Hew Edwards and many others. Some people are above the law. Even though they tell you different.

Agree. This could be the career break he’s needed. After being fired so publicly and written off as a bit of a mug by most people, this is honestly the best opportunity he’s had in a decade.

Lemon now released

[Alf]

We in the UK no longer have the free speech to say this without being interregated. The USA is the final stand for freedom right now.

Nicki Minaj is being free here. Freedom is fun.

What is it she’s free to say?

At the end of the day, you can’t arrest a journalist — and Don Lemon is no favourite of most of us. The problem is he has a platform and deep media connections, which lets him lean hard on the First Amendment angle. Once he starts popping up on podcasts with his friends, and shows like The View, Gayle King, and Oprah get involved, it only strengthens his position.

She's free to make a funny. Make a joke to lighten the mood. Get people smiling if only for a minute.

But in the UK right now and you made a similar joke, the millitants would be on to you baying for your blood.

Minaj will get off from this from the left. Adele wouldn't.

The stereotype is that gay men perform oral sex on other men.

She's using the mocking of a stereotype to out banter Lemon.

Lemon's banter to her was just to call her names without any wit behind it.


Minaj 1 - 0 Lemon

[Glenn.]

So homophobia then.

Gotcha

[Glenn.]

I mean that’s the least of her problems let’s be real. Having a peadophile husband AND brother.

Yep. Milk it, Don. Martyr Don Lemon in full production mode. Somehow this ends up being the best thing that’s happened to him in a decade. Incredible really — man trips over his own career, face‑plants on live TV, and still manages to spin it into a comeback tour. Absolute mug. Get me Oprah on the phone

If that's what you believe, then that's your choice.

But there's also people that believe that no homosexual has been hurt or surpressd by this incedent. They've just been made fun off and nothing more. Which happens to us all at some point. Some people accept it, and others become millitant over it.

[Alf]

Straight out into a press conference as though he's someone important. He's a nobody with a miniscule following for someone who's had the privliged career he's had.

Reading of a written statement that someone else wrote for him. Not his words.

The bollocks these people get away with is sickening.

He can say whatever he wants. We have no impact on what happens to him. All I will say is people are getting tired of hysterics, in general.

[Alf]

I think there was around 62 republicans arrested under Joe Biden (including Trump himself). I don't believe any Democrats have been arrested (so far) under that dictator, Trump.

Is there any wonder when you see how much they cry when one of their failed, former propagandists is arrested.

Don Lemon (&friends) charging document:

S: https://www.documentcloud.org/docume...on-indictment/

[GiRTh]

I deleted a post earlier in which I admitted I was rooting for Don Lemon. This isn't because I've suddenly become a fan; rather, it's a reflection of the social media landscape we all inhabit — one that has pushed everything into extremes and absolutes. It's a case of "my enemy's enemy is my friend," leaving almost no middle ground.

I'm actually proud to occupy that middle ground, but the fact that it's become so rare, so marginalized, is disheartening. Things are so polarized that I found myself thinking, "Go on then, Lemon — get your lawyers on TV before the White House even opens its mouth."

It's surreal. I don’t typically root for him, yet here I am, watching the situation unfold and feeling compelled to take that position due to the surrounding noise.

I’m not sure how we reached this point, but now we find ourselves in a moment where even taking a moderate stance feels like an act of rebellion.

When we say "breaking the law” are we talking about a law being broken that should concern everyone because it's the law being broken ended up harming someone else, or Trump using a law to shut someone up with a dissenting opinion? Because the latter should not be being classed as a "lawbreaker” in any democratic, civilised, first world country that America does like to claim itself to be.

Everything has become either a team sport or a reality TV Show these days, it's incredibly for all of us to try and avoid falling into the Media's traps that they set.
