    tl;dr Crowder is threatening to sue CNN, Jubilee and Talarico for using the phrase "Change My Mind", which he argues is "our trademarked brand, logo and format".

    I find it hard to believe that he owns or can own that trademark personally.

    change my mind

    Sadly, he does seem to have gotten it trademarked. That LLC owns a "Mug Club" which I presume is Crowder's.

    How this was trademarked, I have no idea, but if it's used satirically (as in thrown back in his face) I don't see how a lawsuit prevails - generally this is only merited if CNN started using it directly for a personality on their network or a show name, etc.

    That's insane. It's just a basic concept of debate. An extremely generic phrase. It's like trademarking "haha". I suspect it will be tested more thoroughly in court than at the trademark office.

    I don't see how it prevails regardless. It's generic when used for a debate, no reasonable consumer would assume it was a brand indicator at all, and even if they did no reasonable consumer would assume this debate was signed off on by him.

    Just so you know, I’m not a litigious person

    Proceeds to threaten litigation

    The podcaster, popular in the MAGAverse, went further as he accused the network and its partners of using his phrase for political purposes.

    “Once you rip it off and use it for propaganda, I now have a problem, and I have to come for everything!”

    …as opposed to being used for… what exactly? What does Crowder think his little bs “debates” are?

    Crowder still has a career after his wife beating shenanigans?

    Crowder is a big pussy.

    Change my mind.

  • He might still be sensitive about the subject since his wife changed her mind and got herself an "ex-" prefix.

    Very snowflake-like behavior.

    "Im not the litigious type"

    Classic gaslight

    Students should show up at Crowder's events and say "I don't participate in rigged debates with fascists." Change my mind.

    My initial reaction was "Stephen ... Crowder? Do I know that name?"

    Maybe this is a bid to stay relevant, as much as it is anything else.

    Crowder needs to be reunited with Kirk.

    For some reason I thought he died. This is very disappointing news, indeed.

    Why does MAGA have such a problem with Talarico on TV?

    My guess is they're scared of him and how much further he could go.

    They're just shit-scared because of the toxicity and weakness of Paxton as a candidate. They'll try to rig the vote, but they might not be able to overcome Talarico's advantage from not being a corrupt, lying piece of shit criminal.

    Wow, who knew that Steven Crowder came up with the phrase 'change my mind'... TIL...

    It's OK, everything's fine. An LLM chatbot came up with that name for CNN, so it's Fair Use.

  • Yeah, good luck with that DV MAGA moron.
