Yeah I'm curious how this will shake out as well, it's like the biggest PR nightmare in history. Get sued by a thousand people and definitely go bankrupt, or do some absolutely evil hail mary legal poo poo and mayyyybe save your casino.

And they really chose option B :stare::jerky:

Giving probably vastly undue consideration to the casino, what fault were they being sued for in the first place? Negligence for letting him get all that poo poo up to his room?

yeah it really seems like they'd have no basis but you can sue anybody for anything in the states and I imagine a few victims would try (perhaps rightfully so), and apparently they busted a different guy at that casino with a bunch of gun pointed at the strip years ago and it was sorta hushed up but now it's come out. it really means nothing but you can just imagine those personal injury type lawyers sharpening their knives when they heard that. so now they need to force a judge to claim the casino isnt liable for the attack on an individual basis with each victim.

really what the casino probably wanted was for it to be declared a terrorist attack so the casino wasnt liable, but the FBI wont claim it was. I think thats what this is all about

Deadline article posted:

Roseanne Barr, following through on her pledge to bypass “stressful & untrustworthy” TV interviews, has posted a promised YouTube message to explain “what happened & why” with regard to her tweet about Valerie Jarrett – the one that compared the former Obama aide to a Planet of the Apes character and torpedoed Barr’s sitcom Roseanne.

There are a lot more people impacted than direct FB shareholders. Vanguard owns roughly a 5% stake with 173 million shares, most of which are utilized for people's retirement accounts. So, the loss of about 7 billion in retirement funds could impact a fair amount of people. There are also smaller mutual funds and companies people use for retirement accounts as well that will also feel that loss.

FAANG stocks have all had great growth for over 5 years and a combined market cap of 3 trillion, making them some of the best performing stocks to have in your retirement fund, even inclusive of Facebooks loss today.

i dont know much about this, but is FAANG like a group of companies you can buy in one package vs just buying FB directly? so one company tanking doesnt take you out?

take the $250 and shrug. even if its deleted from his personal facebook page its all over worldstar and liveleak and youtube.

She was there becase Musk wanted to meet her and maybe make some music with Grimes, business insider has reached out to Azealia via Instagram Direct Message:

What is the purpose of tweeting something like this when it does nothing but make him look bad? I'm more used to seeing people carefully curate what they post publicly so that it makes their life look as amazing as possible but this guy 1) completely forgot about an interview, 2) abandoned his wife and kids at a restaurant, and 3) whined about having to walk less than a mile.
He also states that he arrived "just in time" but they never called (I assume this was a phone interview). Anybody want to bet that they did call but that it was like 5-10 minutes before it was slated to start so they could brief him and make sure he was on the line?

hes a conservative blogger and radio host, he probably thinks he's displaying dedication and a hard workin attitude. Admitting fault would require introspection and anybody with that ability would probably have done a better audit on the original plan to walk home and called a cab.
