At
this
point,
we
need
to
consider
the
possibility
that
complaining
about
Martha’s
Vineyard
is
just
Dershowitz’s
kink.
He’s
spent
years
bemoaning
the
fact
that
nobody
on
the
famed
vacation
spot
likes
him
and
even
threatening
legal
action
for
perceived
slights.
Rather
than
just
spend
his
summers
in
MAGA
country
where
his
role
as
a
Trump
apologist
wouldn’t
cause
a
stir,
he
persists
in
returning
to
the
island
where
he
is
so
egregiously
silenced
leaving
his
voice
no
other
outlet
than
his
bestselling
books
and
173,000+
YouTube
subscribers.
Last
week,
he
told
his
fans
“I’m
suing,”
after
a
pierogi
vendor
refused
to
sell
to
him
because
of
Dershowitz’s
politics
and
who
he’s
represented.
Such
a
lawsuit
may
sound
frivolous
—
because
it
is,
as
political
beliefs
are
not
a
protected
class
—
but
it
does
make
for
a
snappy
podcast
title!
Over
the
weekend,
more
details
emerged
with
Crooked
Media
correspondent
Matt
Berg
securing
a
copy
of
the
police
report
and
writing
about
it
for
his
newsletter
(snippet
included
on
his
social
media).
And
if
you’re
just
imagining
what
it
must
look
like
for
the
Harvard
Law
Emeritus
to
devote
his
vacation
time
to
venting
about
pierogies,
you
don’t
have
to.
Because
as
the
description
notes,
there’s
a
video
of
his
conversation
with
the
police!
Can
someone
get
this
man
an
empanada
or
something?
But
this
episode
does
raise
an
important
question:
where
does
he
go
from
here?
Dershowitz
complaining
about
Martha’s
Vineyard
is
the
MCU
of
legal
schadenfreude
and
we’ve
watched
him
advance
from
generalized
gripes,
to
getting
in
a
yelling
match
with
Larry
David
to
going
after
the
public
library
for
not
inviting
him
to
talk…
but
what
tops
“threatening
to
sue
over
Polish
dumplings”?
This
is
his
Endgame!
