CNN accussing the Black Man of mistreating the Karen's.

Why are you obsessed with one race?

[Winehole23]

So I say to Don Lemon, I say, let’s do it, Don Lemon, let’s have dessert. We’ve been here awhile, eating lunch, and we’re having a good time, so likable is Don Lemon, so open is he to my questions, so warm is his smile. And maybe he can be coaxed into it. We are at the restaurant at the Museum of Modern Art, and the portions are modern-art-sized, and he just had his photo shoot yesterday—he’d suspended all manner of salt and other bloateries in the days leading up to it and would love to cut loose a little. But he still needs persuading, since it is a known thing that dessert is one of the principal sacrifices of people who regularly appear on TV. But he relents, because Don Lemon is not the kind of guy who will make you eat dessert alone. The negotiation: He’ll do it, but it’ll have to be light. I look up and down the menu and suggest that the sorbet looks promising, given his totally understandable criteria.

He leans in, big warm smile, not wanting to correct me, but needing to: "Sorbette," he says, like a news anchor. "It’s pronounced sorbette."

"Sorbette," I repeat, shaky. I smile, not quite understanding the joke.

"Sorbette," he says with the confidence of a man who informs hundreds of thousands of Americans each night about what is happening across this land as well as many others. "It’s pronounced sorbette." Sorbette! Could he be right? I’ve been saying it like a French word for years, like a complete asshole. Have I, a native English speaker, a graduate of a four-year college, a frequent eater of frozen desserts, been mispronouncing it all this time?...

...But now here comes the waiter, and he asks if we’ve decided, and Don Lemon asks for the sorbette, and the waiter looks at Lemon like, Are you joking? I give the waiter the silent, wide-eyed micro head shake—No, he’s serious, proceed with caution—but the waiter has guts that I don’t, and so he says, "It’s sor-bay, sir."

Why are you obsessed with one race?
He seems to think in terms of race/sex/gender. This is the very essence of identity politics and is a precursor to racism and bigotry.

He should check his own peeps, Tucker Carlson is out as well :lol

Is the irony lost on you that your Party openly believes in "systematic racism" and CRT for starters?

[ChumpDumper]

Is the irony lost on you that your Party openly believes in "systematic racism" and CRT for starters?What is your definition of CRT?

[FrostKing]

What is your definition of CRT?
Race is in the name. "This is the very essence of identity politics and is a precursor to racism and bigotry."

[ChumpDumper]

What is your definition?

[Tyronn Lue]

I don't disagree that democrats believe it exists. I don't equate that to believing in it. As for CRT, judge it on the merits instead of the false talking points.

[Tyronn Lue]

Race is in the name. "This is the very essence of identity politics and is a precursor to racism and bigotry."
Identifying racism isn't the same as identity politics.

[Chucho]

To quote Chapelle, "Tough break, nigga. There's always B.E.T."



He's going to end up on Fox and Carlson will end up back on CNN.

press release by charging document

there's no chance DOJ gets a conviction

[Yonivore]

Lemon is not indicted as a journalist. He is indicted for his participation in the conspiracy to deprive the Cities Church worshipers of their First Amendment rights (Count I) and for violation of the FACE Act (Count II). The conspiracy count is supported by 24 overt acts, more than half of which name him specifically or include him among “all” defendants. The indictment alleges overt acts that go beyond mere reporting. Is the First Amendment a shield in this case? We shall see.

[Winehole23]

I mean, c'mon, this basically says Don Lemon trying to interview the pastor was an illegal overt act of conspiracy

:lmao why are you Republicans bad at everything having to do with government?

[Yonivore]

I mean, c'mon, this basically says Don Lemon trying to interview the pastor was an illegal overt act of conspiracy
If only there weren't 23 other overt acts - taken in combination with this one - you might have a point.

[Winehole23]

this isn't goodbye Don lemon, you guys are shooting yourselves in the foot and elevating this weird jerk to the status of 1st amendment hero

[Blake]

Meanwhile, ICE agents that executed American citizens roam free. Keep building on this, tards.

[ChumpDumper]

True, I don't remember Don Lemon's murdering anyone in the street.

That's yoni's secret police.

[Winehole23]

(Don Lemon and Georgia Fort both released on their own recognizance)

[Winehole23]

If only there weren't 23 other overt acts - taken in combination with this one - you might have a point.Two judges looked at the same information and said there was no probable cause

DOJ took it to a grand jury with zero line AUSAs being willing to sign it, only political appointees

Y'all are gonna lose

[SnakeBoy]

It's a shame the death penalty is not an option in this case

[Winehole23]

It's a shame the death penalty is not an option in this casedude, he's already been released

the court saw no danger posed to the public by releasing Don Lemon, do you?

:lol

[Winehole23]

why should a guy get the death penalty for filming protesters in a church, rude and disruptive though that be?

[Winehole23]

Yoni, can you possibly take this on? Snake Boy seems unable to say what he means.

Why does Don Lemon deserve the death penalty?

[Blake]

It's a shame the death penalty is not an option in this case

That's reserved for nurses trying to help people in need

[Winehole23]

I wish that were true, these are only among the first DHS killings of US citizens under Trump

[Yonivore]

Two judges looked at the same information and said there was no probable cause
No, that's not what they said. As I posted before:

https://x.com/angertab/status/2017256323919008179?s=20


DOJ took it to a grand jury with zero line AUSAs being willing to sign it, only political appointees
Because, apparently (to me, anyway) that was the alternative relief to which the original judges, declining to issue warrants, were referring in their original judgement.


Y'all are gonna lose
That's what courts are for - not internet forums.

[Yonivore]

why should a guy get the death penalty for filming protesters in a church, rude and disruptive though that be?
No.

[Yonivore]

Yoni, can you possibly take this on? Snake Boy seems unable to say what he means.

Why does Don Lemon deserve the death penalty?
He doesn't but, he's getting the due process I think he deserved.

[Winehole23]

He doesn't but, he's getting the due process I think he deserved.
press release by charging document is perverted due process

[Yonivore]

press release by charging document is perverted due process
The due process I'm speaking of is allegations presented to a Grand Jury who True Billed them, and upon which an arrest warrant was issued, an arrest was made, an arraignment was (or is to be) had, and a trial (or plea) to determine guilt or innocence. When you say charging document, what do you mean? I've probably seen to what you're referring but, frankly, I don't recall. All I remember are Lemon's self-incriminating videos and, now, the declination to issue warrants from the court, followed by the indictment issued by a Grand Jury.

I'm not saying they didn't use a charging document in a press release, I just don't recall. If you're speaking of the indictment. Unless it's sealed by the court, it's public record and there's no reason it can't be discussed in a press briefing environment.

[Winehole23]

Was this a violation of the FACE Act and deserving of the death penalty?

Unlike the present example, Pete Hegseth's church is not affiliated

[Yonivore]

Was this a violation of the FACE Act and deserving of the death penalty?
I have no way of knowing (see below) but, for the record, I don't believe violations of the FACE Act are capital offenses.

When will the ICE agents get the due process they deserve for killing people?

[Yonivore]

No shit.

[ChumpDumper]

No shit.

https://x.com/Heminator/status/2018043643601326546?s=20

You don't care about the law. Trump just pardoned a bunch of people convicted under this one.

[Winehole23]

St. Paul declines to file charges against Don Lemon



“Our office has a legal and ethical obligation to file charges only when the available evidence establishes probable cause and supports a reasonable likelihood of conviction beyond a reasonable doubt,” Kao wrote. “Following a careful evaluation of the video footage, investigative reports, and other available materials, prosecutors determined that the current evidence is insufficient to meet that standard for criminal charges under Minnesota state statutes.”https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/06/03/st-paul-city-attorney-wont-file-charges-against-cities-church-protesters
