Has this guy ever won a case?
When his judges are presiding, yes.
When his judges are presiding, sometimes.
I heard he got a case of syphilis
He got sick of winning so he stopped
He’s got the concept of winning
Only the ones where he could judge shop like the classified documents.
I hope that bitch gets whats coming to her (career..not mortality)
He has conceptually won a case
Tangentially related:

What umm... What did I just... Uh..
Actually you know what nevermind. No answer can satisfy me at this point
Amazing. Simply incredible
10/10. No notes.
haha, I've never seen that, thanks for sharing, it's awesome.
This is one of the best things I never knew I wanted that I’ve come across in a while.
OHMYFUCKINGOD!!! I love this. Literally popped in my head when I read the title.
At least he'll always have Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.
Let's see him make "jailbait" his campaign theme song.
That would be very fitting.
How could you think you'd get away with this?
Holy shit. You're definitely not getting away with this.
His strategy has been to outrun his legal issues until they fail or he dies. I really hope he sees the inside of a cell before he dies, but I'd also take him choking on lunch and dying right now. Prefer prison, though.
He'll never see the inside of a cell. He's an ex president. He might be confined to his home, but I doubt even that.
This world sucks.

It's not really the same when you're talking about a campaigning politician.
No one sane wants to be associated with Trump's campaign, and him using the song is implying association.
Wouldn't that result in many musicians never getting paid for their work? Just upload high quality full audio clips to low resolution video unrelated and share with everyone. Everyone can strip the video and have the audio for free, making it a legal platform to upload the content for distribution. Downloading for non commercial gain used to be the grey area, where uploading was the illegal part I believe. At least that's what I remember from torrents and seeding back in the day
If you have listened to Electric Avenue, you will understand why Eddie Grant may have been particularly outraged by Trump using it.
Why not? It’s an advertisement
No different than putting it on the air
If you mean "someone" as in an individual that is posting something they made that happens to contain the song, then I agree with you.
But there are many other uses where there should be restrictions (and need to pay royalties/get licence), like here where it's being used in a political campaign, or for commercial purposes, or if being posted by a corporation, etc.
