    If only there was a three year track record of the Post lying to get Trump and smearing Trump voters capped off by the left going insane over hats and ruining this kids life

    Calling him white trash will really help. Keep it up lefties. There are consequences to your actions

    What are the consequences? You sound tough.

    The truth is that trump’s base is is uneducated, unskilled, nativist white trash. You want to debate this fact?

    No one can both generalize and insult an entire 50 million + subset of the population, while also managing to tape off every single fringe minority group, quite like a leftist FS.

    Being dividers in the name of unity is what the modern far left is all about.

    Fucking idiot.
    Free markets reward skills, adaptability, and resourcefulness. Troomps need protectionism and tariffs.
    Your boy Bernie also approves of the tariffs on China dipshit.

    My boy Bernie? Desperate even for you.
    He’s your boy...admitting it is the first step
    Tariffs are destructive and anti-free market. Bernie’s made you his bitch.
    You were for tariffs before Trump was. Now all of a sudden you love the free market...crazy
    I understand your embarrassment and futility, but making shit up isn’t a strong rhetorical strategy.

    Sure. But damages are going to be difficult to document in a case like this.
    He ain't getting a quarter billion but I bet he gets a nice seven figure settlement.
    Disagree. This “lawsuit” will eventually get dismissed.
    I'll take that bet. WaPo will settle. Stick to blowing Hondo, you're out of your league when you venture away from your core area of knowledge.

    I just re-read the thread. You’re in there bot. It’s hilarious to review now that the case has been dismissed. Do you see who had it right all along and who didn’t have a clue from the beginning? Oh, I see why you may want to deflect.

    I keep hearing from the Left that freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from the consequences of your words. Anyways, unless the Post decides to make this a principled stand about free speech they'll likely settle. I'd bet even $500k is a lot to that kid and his family. No need to pay ten times that just to beat it in court and get a bunch of potential bad press.

    Hi doog not!
    Bump.

    Glad they did buddy! I believe Freedom of speech is one of our most important values. Tough loss for team libel I guess. Regards to H.

    I'd be drinking early on a Friday too if I'd had the week you had. Hope you are feeling better. Remember to drink water.

    You talk a good game bot but this is not the firs time you’ve been exposed as an idiot. I can bump our previous exchanges about your intelligence and competency level if you’d like? To be fair, I’d probably consider hiring you to run numbers for my clients, so long as there was an understanding you’d never speak a word out loud in a meeting.

    Sure thing bud. I have no doubt I've made a few haught takes in my tim on these boareds. Like most people, I am wrong about lots of things. I don't really have a problem admitting to that. You go through life and you do your best to learn from your mistakes. I'll be happy to laugh about them with you when you bump them. BFF's forever CDawg. Maybe take a walk on the beach this weekend for some perspective.

    GayBob @SFGbob seems to have run away. No doubt he’s fucking strawmen and tongueing the asshole of either @DJDuck or @Bendintheriver I’m sure he’ll be back to address his idiocy. He’s a man of character. Just ask him.

    One judge. It will be appealed. Trump just won a Yuge vicytoty in the Supreme Court after losing to district court judges and in the lower courts.

    Possibly. Seemed pretty weak from the first. Don’t think the facts are suddenly going to get better.

    Race is poking sticks, but he’s right too. That story had no business being covered by reputable media, except as perhaps a “here’s what social media didn’t show you” story. Instead they let the mob yank them along by the nosering. Complete malpractice of journalism.

    Shitty journalism isn’t actionable. And the right should be thankful for that as much as the left should.

    My impression reading the complaint was that the lawyers involved were more interested in being culture warriors than in competently evaluating whether they really had a defamation case. It was much too filled with their words and too little filled with anything the WaPo had actually said. I don’t know about the remaining cases because I haven’t read the pleadings.

    That’s not what I said there. As far as the legal case, I’m glad they brought it but I always knew it would be difficult. Libel always is. But it was interesting from the beginning there was no basis to say the kid was a public figure. Usually that makes most claims of libel tossed around unactionable at all. Also agree with you on primary motivation of the attorneys.

    All that being said, the MSM (hate that term but it’s short) rushed into a nonevent, reporting too quickly and sacrificing credibility based on nothing more than a snotty smirk. No readily apparent crime, no public figures involved, nothing to command front page urgency but the mob. Truly shameful.

    The judge was very through. The claim was defamation. There really wasn't anything there. The whole thing may have been a non-event, I agree, but it happened in the public square where everyone involved chose to be.

    Btw, I looked and I would say the CNN complaint suffers from most of the same short comings as the WaPo complaint, but there are a few specific alleged statements of CNN personnel that arguably make it a little better from the plaintiff’s perspective. The CNN complaint might survive a motion to dismiss. We’ll see.

    And the NBC complaint looks an awful lot like the WaPo complaint to me. So I’d guess that NBC will probably get out on a motion to dismiss.
