Try asking Greg Doucette. He's on Twitter, and he and other lawyers have been the main folks responsible for uncovering all of this.excelhedge wrote: Fri Jul 12, 2019 12:10 am Anyone got links to the video Ron Toye's disposition?

Re: Vic Mignogna
I know Greg's commented on Ron's deposition thanks to commentary by other lawyers he's retweeted, so he's the best place to look. (Sooner than later, at least: it'll soon get buried.)
As I recall, it was nothing revealing outside of how, unlike Vic, he was obviously prepared. I know Vic stans are latching onto his inability to recall certain tweets as a "gotcha", though.
(On a related note, just for laughs, here's Beard stumbling yet again in court.)

Re: Vic Mignogna
There's so much to laugh about this week, but the bit with the "amazon" at the deposition stood out to me. Like, was that supposed to be a harebrained attempt at a trap? She tries to antagonize the defendant, then Percy waits for the defendant's lawyer to call this out so he can act aggrieved that he'd talk that way "to a FEMALE attorney"?
And a lot of VicStans online seem to be acting especially deranged right now, which is... saying something.

Re: Vic Mignogna
I swear this is how I fucking argued political shit in high school. Just a cavalcade of bad arguments, accusations and moving the goalposts until the other person got tired enough to not want to fucking talk to me anymore. These guys are what, in their 30s or 40s? They're supposed to be professionals and they talk like dumb teenagers looking for any opportunity to "gotcha" their opponents.
It should come as no surprise that Rekieta follows Mike Cernovich, TheQuartering, Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, and Stefan Molyneux on twitter. Guy is a fucking reactionary propaganda machine. I've personally seen misogyny, racism, and anti-intellectualism from him so far. Just need Islamophobia, homophobia, anti-semitism, and transphobia to complete the whole Alt-Right set (if I don't count all the guys he obviously loves listening to, or anything I haven't seen personally). It is like Pokemon for fucking assholes up in here.

So, apparently Vic Stan’s think that the case is going well? Just something I noticed in an unfortunate conversation with someone who supported Vic but was not particularly engaged with the issue. I guess it means their narrative, even though false, is actually duping people into buying their nonsense.

I've always believed the alt-right are bullies that never grew up, with Rekieta being the latest example. I realized lately how many parallels I'm seeing to Trump in how many blindly follow an unqualified, unethical individual despite the mass dissent/counsel of others in his field.Shaddy wrote: Fri Jul 12, 2019 5:38 pm I swear this is how I fucking argued political shit in high school.

President Trump's contemporaries? Not so much. Maybe Bernie, but... Well, we weren't really given the chance to choose, were we?

Or are you doing that Hillary/Trump equivalency thing again? Please don't. America had the most obvious good vs evil choice to make in 2016, and good lost because they were too busy infighting while evil swallowed their pride and rallied behind the gremlin that rode a wave of bigotry and resentment to get them control of the executive branch, tougher immigration policies and a right-wing Supreme Court judge. This is the lesson the left have failed to learn time and time again- Life of Brian came out 40 years ago, it was all about that.
And besides, I can't respect the people involved in Vic's lawsuit. Normally with lawyers, you have to accept that they're just doing their job, but these people went out of their way to manipulate and fleece gullible fans with their bogus GoFundMe. Hopefully they get what's coming to them.

We have Trump because the Democrats have been doing nothing but being conservatives since the 1970s. They're controlled opposition.

And she ran to the left of Trump, who pulled America out of the Paris Agreement, emboldened ICE into a modern-day Gestapo, publicly cozied up to authoritarian dictators and is blundering into a war with Iran. That's what I'm saying- the left have to stop letting perfect be the enemy of the good and start looking at the big picture. With the Republicans turning into a far-right party, the Democrats will continue to shift leftward. So you have to vote for them no matter who the candidate is, or the Republicans will continue fucking everyone over.JulieYBM wrote: Sat Jul 13, 2019 8:50 amClinton is a racist warmonger that turned Libya into a failed state and was a part of the administration that turned two wars into seven.

Anyway, this is the second time I've risked derailing this thread with that tangent. I'll just say that the cynical pandering and misogynist resentment fuelling #IStandWithVic is a microcosm of the same societal trend that put Trump in the White House, and if we don't do whatever we can to stop it, it could have lasting harmful consequences. That's why signal boosting people who speak out against Vic and Rekeita is just as important as voting for Joe Biden.

Re: Vic Mignogna
Ok, while i personally do not agree with your aforementioned criticisms there about President Trump as to his overall performance and conduct as chief executive on such issues as those (I voted for him in 2016, so sue me.) and the state of the country going into the 2020 election cycle, this forum just simply isn't the place for those types of discussions to be had. This is a Dragon Ball forum, not a political debate forum. As such, i don't want to get into a long winded back and forth over the minutiae of the above which would indeed be veering off the purpose of this thread's intended topic. It has already happened multiple times over the course of the thread with discussions devolving into extended arguments over the president's policies among other things.Kataphrut wrote: Sun Jul 14, 2019 8:50 amAnd she ran to the left of Trump, who pulled America out of the Paris Agreement, emboldened ICE into a modern-day Gestapo, publicly cozied up to authoritarian dictators and is blundering into a war with Iran.

Sooooo apparently Blackface Lawyer also streamed Vic's deposition, including redacted portions like this.
He was with his fiance longer than eight years, right? Truly a man of faith.

Re: Vic Mignogna
I'm a bit of a lurker these days, but I agree this thread should stay more on topic and leave politics for elsewhere.
I watched Rekieta's streams concerning the deposition. I found his constant I interruptions, bullying, and crass attitude to be utter torture, while the deposition itself was interesting. I've been neutral and want to see how things pan out. However, I have never been a fan of Vic's and most definitely not a fan of Mr. Rekieta.

Oh my God he actually went through with the lawsuit. You'd think a grown, 50something year old man would be wise enough to not have a bunch of incels and alt-right nutjobs decide his irl actions.
Congrats, Mignognog, ya played yourself.
The alt-right bloggers, who all support the Republicans and Trump, all supported Vic and made the same kinds of videos in defense of him that they made in defense of Trump. Vic also did the same kinds of things Trump has done in terms of abusing women and coercing cover-ups.
