    Will Facebook, Twitter and other corporate monopolies also be suing those who have [correctly] spoken against their draconian abuse of power ??

    An opinion is not legally "actionable" because nobody can argue that your opinion is not your opinion. But if you say it's a fact, and it's not, then it's a lie and if a lie does someone harm they can collect damages from the liar.

    My major question for all the Republicans is what were you "THINKING"?? Did Trump really think they were just going to say. "Well, hey, you took over the Congress by violence so I guess we just have to let you be President and just **** the 81,000,000 people who voted against you." And did Dobbs and Giuliani and Fox and OANN just think that all these Billion dollar companies which have LOTS of other things going are just going to let them say "well these guys are all a bunch of bought off crooks and none of their machinery is worth a single penny" Or what?

    One would think these guys actually BELIEVED Trump, and that they thought there actually WAS this "Deep State" that was cannibalizing children in the basements of Pizza Parlors but no, NOBODY is THAT ****** stupid.

    The Major insight of chess is that it's really a rather simple game. When the major character of the Movie "Queen's Gambit" is asked whether she has a particular affection for the King since she never knew her real father her reply is "they're just pieces".

    When your own network argues that no rational person could take what one of their hosts as truth there is probably a major issue when a sizable portion of the population takes it as news. He belongs on OANN or one of the other right wing extremists fake news channels.

    Obviously.

    Next up, Fox needs to fire those Other LOONS (Pirro and Bartiromo).

    A Fresh Talent Pool for OAN and Newsmax to hire from.

    Assuming that one (or All 3) aren't snapped up by QAnon, the Flat Earth Society, or The Bigfoot Conference.

    They all know it.

    But they act like spoiled children, none the less.

    They staged a Nazi rally in Charlottesville. Then, when someone got killed, they all started whining that they were exercising their first amendment rights.

    We had the same thing locally when the Trump pickup caravan barged belligerently through town, yelling racial epitaths at any non white people. (this, I am a personal witness to).

    Then there was the staged insurrection on Jan 6th.

    The same thing. Gleeful boasting ,and meme repeating. They were all going to hang Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.......until they didn’t really mean it.

    He probably doesn’t want that big a pay cut, and I suspect he doesn’t want to relocate to San Diego.

    Oh, so the President can tell people not to bother with any of the precautions that the health official recommend, and make light of the crisis, plug quacks, and quack cures, and do everything to minimize the crisis and deflect from his own malfeasance, incompetence and irresponsibility, and we’re supposed to ignore that.



    You resent being called a Trumpster. But you never miss an opportunity to make excuses for Trump.

    I doubt that people would have a standing to sue Trump because “he made them do it”.

    Even though that’s exactly what hundreds of Trump supporters are now publicly saying about thier participation in the riot of Jan 6th.

    “The argument would be relevant if there weren't a Fauci, or if there weren't a Dr. Birx”

    But, after the first couple of weeks of the Trump show, there was no Dr Fauci, at least not in an official capacity. And Trump had Brix sitting in a corner, with her lips tightly closed trying not to show the TV cameras her real reactions to Trump’s idiotic claims and irresponsible behavior.

    That's what I was going to say, he'll find a new home at OANN or Newsmax. Amazing to think that he was once at CNN. Seems like he self-radicalized, like so many on the right.

    I hope you are not trolling. You know exactly why CNN did not fire their staff over the Mueller investigation so stop playing the that "unaware guy". CNN never charged the Trumpocity with collusion, but you know that, don't you? Al the rest of us who are aware of what CNN staf said are aware.

    You notice that Shaun Vannity who never met a QANONerist he did not love nor an anti Dem conspiracy theory he did not hug has already started to back down from QANON crapadoola. In fact Vannity said the other day that "conservatives" he knows do not even know anything about QANON or that it even exists. In fact Vannity said that "conservatives " do not know how to pronounce QANON.

    But hey what can you expect from a professional liar like Vannity!

    Maybe Vannity and so called "conservatives" / Trump fans are more comfortable with the Russian pronunciation as Uncle Putin says. ---- Kiyu Awh Noon !

    Are you serious?? He is actually saying that?
    I know that the liar Macarthy tried the line that he didn't know what Q was and he failed of course, but the idiot vannity is feeding the line to useful idiots so they will parrot it?
    Wow.

    Yes Vannity did say that "conservatives" he knows are not aware of QANON and or that such a thing even existed. Then a host on CNN played an interview Vannity did with another female representative
    QANONist ( not Greene) and she conspiratized as all hell. It was asnipit from obviously a Fox Interview.m

    These guys know that they can't sue THEM since they don't have any money and Rupert sees a few million as the cost of doing business. I think Smartmatic et al has the right idea, think Billions

    Well I wish I can say I'm surprised but the radical right has no shame at all, so I can only say I expected it.
    Now how long before the rest of the useful idiots start parroting it?

    Trump saying Ted Cruz father participated in the assignation of JFK is one thing, going after private businesses with slander is another

    What I’ve taken away from the whole Trump crap show that was brought to all of us live the last four years by Trump and his minions, was Trump just needed to win period.
    Before the election, they were just sure he would win. After he lost the election it was rigged. After it was reasonably proved to anyone with two or more brain cells that it wasn’t rigged, it was still stolen from him. Bottom line, to many of Trumps fanatics, winning is the only thing that matters, by any means necessary. Guys like Dobbs and many others catered to those that would not take no for an answer. The idiots will always be idiots, the ones that monetized the idiots like Dobbs will hopefully pay dearly.

    Hell, Trump even called foul after he won in 2016 because he couldn't cope with the fact he lost the popular vote.
    It's no wonder he cheats at golf.
