Flying SquidLeonard Leo, ‘Free Speech’ Guy, Had Man Arrested for Calling Him a Fascist, Per Lawsuit
JazzAlienSounds a lot like a fascist lol
“How dare you say something true!”
canthidiumWait this guys parents named him Leo Leo? Reminds me of this guy I knew named Robert Roberts. We called him Bob Bob.
I went to school with a Duwayne Duwayne.
Oh wow, that’s even worse.
TigbittiesWe had a Eugene Eugenes that buddies around with a Mathew Mathews. They were not invited to the cool kid parties.
Jesus, what is going on in this world. Do these parents hate their kids?
See also Bob Roberts and, for a darker example, the palindromic Nazi Revilo P. Oliver.
I went to high school with a dude named Ling Ling. Apparently it means perfection, or something along those lines?
YoBuckStopsHereSounds like justification to me.
The world would be a better place without these assholes slithering around. They are like sewer rats wading in shit just under our feet waiting for an opportunity to invade our homes to spread their filth and disease. I am astounded everyday how a few extremists manage to sway and influence a decent portion of normal people to the brink of committing atrocities. This is a world wide problem and not just US centric, though the ~30% of US voters who eat up that stuff scare the crap out of me.
This source is awful and as such I rate the story "Fake news"
I’m sure you think the original New Yorker article is fake too, but since it had a paywall, I didn’t think it was the best thing to post.
Just archive it, easy paywall bypass
Why should I bother when you’ll just say that’s fake too?
It's always a good idea to use a more neutral but still credible source.
I have very little doubt that you would have said the exact same thing you said initially if I had posted the New Yorker article instead.
I promise you I wouldn't, Jezebel is the equivalent of Breitbart. (Media matters too)
I’ve seen your post history.
You’ve had plenty of time to check out the New Yorker article and admit that this is not a fake story but you would rather continue playing games. Your post history reflects this behavior.
I think you misunderstood my original comment. I was criticizing the source rather than the story itself. No, I don't think the New Yorker article is fake news.
Your original comment:
This source is awful and as such I rate the story “Fake news”
Is it fake news or a real story? Make up your mind.
It's a Schrodinger's story. Fake on Jezebel, real on the New Yorker.
As I said, you would rather play games. I think we’re done here.
skulblakaHoly shit, guy, he points out that you posted a notoriously garbage source and you immediately jump to personal attacks. I don't care what his post history looks like, he's correct. Jezebel is a rag that posts garbage, more often laughably false than remotely true. Regardless whether this particular story is true or not, find better sources.
I didn’t make any personal attacks.
Leonard Leo, the head of the Federalist Society, and the reason why the US Judiciary is full of half trained jackasses who put ideology ahead of the actual law. He worked with Bush and Trump to place Federalist Society judges throughout America. Especially the Supreme Court.
All three of Trump's picks were actually Leo's picks.
He also funds lawsuits against laws he doesn't like, and routes them through courts where he knows the judges, to appeals circuits where with judges he helped appoint, to the supreme court where 6 members owe him loyalty. (he also constantly bribes them)
Three of the cases heard by the court this last term were funded by Leo, including the gay wedding website case, where there was never a gay wedding. It was all made up. The "plaintiff" was actually a straight man, who was already married.

Everyone happy now?
This is why elections matter
You may think trump is edgy, sticks it to the libs, and tells it like it is, but this guy is spending every minute of every day building a country to grind you into dust, and he’s not on your side
First, Leo is right to be scared. Anyone who subverts democracy so flagrantly is going to anger people. Angry people can get violent.
Second, why they hell haven’t democracy-loving Americans stomped Leo into exile?
