Trump just sued the New York Times for $15 billion for defamation and libel. Key harm? Endorsing Kamala Harris and opposing him editorially. Now is the time for a civil suit against Trump for all the damages his defaming lies and libel have done to Americans who do not support him. The suit should be for $75 trillion - $1,000,000 for each person who voted for Harris. The Supreme Court ruling that you can’t try a sitting President for official acts while in office should not apply here, since defaming and libeling opponents are not official acts of a president of the United States.

Defaming and libeling opponents are not supposed to be official acts of POTUS, but Donnie is a very special boy…

Since it would be a civil suit, I believe he has no immunity, especially if it's brought in a state court. Am I right?

Technically, yes, but Trump will try to apply the immunity decision anyway.

That’s the question how do we motivate lawyers to join in building such a civil lawsuit. The ultimate goal is to win, but just filing the suit will turn the tables on Trump’s use of lawsuits to silence his opponents. We the people, even half of we the people are stronger than one criminally convicted old man suing every time someone says something about him he doesn’t like.

Yesterday I read about the lawyer, Steven Kiker? who is representing a number of people that have been fired illegally. So I’m hoping that there are others like him.

Trump and Vance (and other MAGAs) keep saying when commenting on the Charlie Kirk killing that "statistics show" more violent acts are committed by the "left" than the "right." I thought, this cannot be right, what are they talking about? A quick Google search shows zero studies to support that statement, and a list of ones showing the opposite. No surprise there, but if you are curious, one scientific article can be found at https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9335287/ and "The Economist" just did an article on the subject at https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2025/09/12/is-radical-left-violence-really-on-the-rise-in-america. The truth matters. Fact check me. :)

I can't wait until Australia starts replying to the orange twerp. They're right up there with the Scottish for insults.

Vance is the worst VP in our country's history, serving the worst president in our history. And kash Patel and dangerous bongino are the worst men to ever head the FBI.

Ditto!

It lifts my spirits when I see/hear how people in other parts of the world are reacting/letting their feelings be known about what is happening in our country. I take more comfort from those sources than I do from those on our soil (save for Lawrence O'Donnell and a few other brave souls).

I'm glad I don't live in the US anymore (Dallas, Atlanta 1998 - 2006) as I think the world is a better place without that misogynist, racist, POS Kirk in it. I do not support political violence but putting aside how he was removed, yeah no great loss.

Problem is that the blood thirsty right wants to punish people like me (come on up. I'll show you a real "warm" welcome) but those of you do live in the US and who post the same are in danger of being doxed - or worse.

I’m waiting for Junk Dripping Vance to realize that taxpayers money is being wasted to pay off pieces of shit like Ashley Babbit’s family and J6 criminals, but yeah, tell me why a bigots death is becoming a Passion Play.

Bloody chum in the water brings sharks. They will bite anything and that is not violence. It brings emotionally soothing food for the soul. There is a need for social services to address these emotionally challenged individuals. Instead some torture them repeatedly with heteronormativity. This is not politics. This is systemic abuse and societal failure that are both fixable. I am disgusted by those making a living by bellowing in this type of torture chamber. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/bloody-chum?r=3m1bs

When is the next therapy session? I'm in desperate need this week. My husband told me he wanted to go to Charlie Kirk's memorial in Arizona and we proceeded to have an enormous argument. I need to talk with some Sexy Patriots.

Now we know why trumpstein chose Juicy Dicknugget - because he's just a rabid a fascist as trumpstein - probably even more-so.

So, if you're playing the 'drink every time Schumer says bipartisan' game, you get to take another drink. I hope your liver isn't inflamed.

The link in Note 16 goes to "server not found".

Expect the NYT to continue to throw barbs at democrats when given the opportunity, and provide cover for trumpstein's worst.

WT absolute fuck is wrong with these 'centrist' Dems? Do they not realize where we are at in this country? I just do not get it. Who wants to join a party that is acting like bipartisanship is the way to go right now and look weak? Are they thinking being a moderate is going to favor them with the Independents? -shrug- I will not leave or give up on the Dems but they are sure making it hard. I will keep pushing them 'til they come to their senses.

Most of them are still living in the 20th century. The dinosaurs need to go. Governor Pritzker seems to have a grip. If nothing else I’m going to send him a letter of appreciation.
