I wonder if Trump realizes what it would mean if Hell were to freeze over and this lawsuit could succeed.

Yes. He does. What do you think it would mean?

Would this be good time to bring up the Covington kids lawsuit against the Washington Post?

They are a org devoted to taking out a president. Just like their employee says. It’s on tape.

Please point to all of the “fake news” and lies they are promoting to take out a POTUS.

Please provide your sources as well.

Oh, they repeatedly use one of the most insidious tricks of all: record and play.

Trump has the best letters.

What a baby.

President Trump’s legal team sent a letter to CNN, threatening to sue because of overt bias and negative reporting of the President.

I, for one, am all for 1st Amendment. People wanna be high-profile, then they need to accept that there will be negative press about them. It doesn’t matter the percentage of good press versus bad press.

Thoughts?

A news network has no obligation to be non bias. How on Earth could Fox News exist otherwise. This is one of the stupidest things the stupidest president we’ve ever had has ever said.

How many times has this boob threatened to sue someone and then does nothing. Biggest. Wind bag. Ever.

A ridiculous letter clearly done for political rather than legal purposes.

A letter from the president of the United States threatening to krap all over the first amendment. His ■■■■■■■ JOB ONE is to defend the constitution!

But somehow this is not problematic. Biting my tongue because maybe I don’t want to be banned from this place.

Yet.

Wow. I didn’t realise the first amendment legalised fraud, on the basis that you are free to say anything at all. I thought it meant you are free to say anything, but you could be held accountable for telling lies.

Lol, if that were the case Trump would rot in jail.

There is no such clause.

There is no such clause.

So, you seem to be saying that fraud is legal because the first amendment doesn’t say anything about legal consequences for dishonestly using free speech.

Oh he has followed through. Like when he tried to sue Bill Maher for insinuating that his father was an ape. He lost.

Nope. Bring on the suit. It means CNN has free reign to prove they were right, which means I don’t think you would enjoy the suit.

SeaManatee · 2019-10-20T05:06:35.745Z

So you’re saying Bill Maher got away with fraud. And you’re okay with that?

Hahaha.

Bill Maher got away with comedy, protected by the 1st amendment.

SeaManatee · 2019-10-20T05:15:36.533Z

I liked his recent end segment trying to raise money to bribe Trump to just leave office.

hwyflier · 2019-10-20T05:17:10.466Z

He doesn’t need to pony anything up. Here’s my deal:

Resign tomorrow and Pence will pardon everyone. Keep your ill-gotten gains and your twitter account and leave. Fake a heart attack, blame the libs, whatever. Just go.

Win win win.

He accused them of BIAS. Where do you get this fraud ■■■■■ Just stop.

It is quite novel to argue about the consequences of lying and contemporaneously defending Trump.
