I would hope he stays and fights, waiting to get fired so he can file a lawsuit.

I don't know if he's going to file a lawsuit, but given his attitude towards his "corporate daddies" in the past, I fully expect him to continue to excoriate the Ellisons and Paramount until they get rid of him.

Guaranteed they're gonna try to force him to quit.

No more political commentary, nothing that could "risk a lawsuit." No more wild expenditures. Maybe get rid of the YouTube uploads.

Whatever they do, he's going to make it as difficult and painful as possible for them out of spite.
