Google’s YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit by President Donald Trump over his 2021 account suspension following the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

According to documents filed in federal court in California, $22 million of the settlement will be contributed to the Trust for the National Mall to help pay for the construction of the White House State Ballroom. The rest will go to other plaintiffs, including the American Conservative Union.

      Same, it’s pretty maddening. I want to stop hearing about stuff that’s going to deteriorate my general health but at the same time I don’t want to be blindsided by all the stuff that will have a legitimate impact on my life.

      It’s all so insanely stupid and I’m so tired of him getting away with all the bullshit without even trying. Feels like the whole government is just his condom puppets that say yes to his every whim and just allow him to fuck over the country

    It’s a way to secure bribes for the president. He files frivolous lawsuits and then shakes them down for settlements.
