You're wrong.

You’re forgetting Walton. I know he wasn’t really part pf the core for that era but he was key for their greatest team in 86.

I'm not forgetting anyone.

Smith talked about the Three Top Players. Parish was the starting center for the Celtics in 1986. Parish was an All-Star who averaged 16.1 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 31.7 minutes per game.

Walton was NOT one of the Three Top Players for the Celtics in 1986. He was not even a starter. Walton was a sixth man who averaged 7.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 19.3 minutes,

Dominion paid their own legal fees. They didn’t even get legal fees covered in the settlement. What is it you think they got?

Nearly every settlement provides that each party pays its own fees.

The fact that Dominion paid its own legal fees is irrelevant.

Dominion sued Lindell.

The value of that lawsuit is estimated through the analysis of many factors: (1) probability of prevailing, (2) likely judgment amount, (3) the judgement amount that is actually recoverable, and (4) the amount of time until payment of judgment.

Dominion's Probability of Prevailing: Near Certain. The probability of Dominion prevailing against Lindell seems nearly certain. In the Newsmax lawsuit, Judge Davis ruled that Newsmax committed defamation per se against Dominion in each of the 19 alleged statements. Last year in Denver, a jury issued a $2.3 million judgment against Lindell after finding he had defamed a former Dominion director with similar claims of election fraud. Both Fox and Newsmax settled Dominion's cases against them for millions of dollars, far more than nuisance costs. Clearly, both Fox and Newsmax believed Dominion's claims had significant merit.

Likely Judgment Amount: $100+ million Fox agreed to pay Dominion $787.5 million to settle Dominion's $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit. Similarly, Newsmax agreed to pay $67 million to settle Dominion's $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against it. Eric Coomer, a single individual, received a $2.3 million judgment against Lindell for similar defamation claims. The likely judgment amount of Dominion's claims against Lindell would be $100 million or more.

Judgement Amount that Is Actually Recoverable: $0 While testifying on June 9, 2025, during his Denver defamation trial, Lindell stated that he was millions of dollars in debt due to legal costs, indicating a negative net worth of at least several million dollars as of mid-2025. Thus, it is unlikely that Dominion will recover any amount from Lindell regardless of the stated amount of a court judgment. A $1 billion judgment that is not recoverable is not worth the paper it's printed on.

Amount of Time until Payment of Judgment: 2+ years If Dominion would have proceed to trial against Lindell, it might have been a year or more before the trial was conducted and at least another year until the appeal process was complete.


Thus, when Liberty Vote, founded and operated by former Republican election official Scott Leiendecker, purchased Dominion in October 2025, four months after Lindell testified that he was millions of dollars in debt, the proxy value of Dominion's claims against Lindell were likely little more than $0.


The standard settlement process includes confidentiality, dismissal with prejudice, and each party bears its own costs. I have been involved in the settlement of hundreds of cases. Nearly all of them included a confidentiality clause, the plaintiff's agreement to dismiss with prejudice (which means the plaintiff cannot file the lawsuit again), and a clause that each party will bear its own attorney fees and court costs. The idea of settlement is to put the case and the feud to bed. No talking about the claims, no refiling the lawsuit, and no fighting about how much the attorney's fees are.

Worthless based on probability, prevention probability, and cure.

It's unlikely to happen.

It won't stop it from happening.

It won't make it better if it does happen.

Top companies don’t hire based on coursework they hire based on proof you can operate in real systems and what you can prove in practice under interview conditions. Top companies heavily screen for data structures, arrays, trees, graphs, and algorithms, recursion, dynamic programming, and sorting/searching.

The CS grads that I have interviewed understand concepts taught in class, toy problems, guided labs, but not independent projects that look like real software, and struggle immensely to apply them in a 30–45 minute coding interview, showing a lack of real-world ability. Hiring teams want evidence you can build and ship something with very little ramp time. A candidate needs evidence they can deal with users, databases, APIs, deployment, or real constraints. Without that, entry-level candidates with CS degrees get constantly passed over.
