Summary
Donald Trump has amended his lawsuit against CBS, doubling the damages sought to $20 billion.
He also added Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, his former White House doctor, as a co-plaintiff to keep the suit before a Trump-appointed judge in Texas.
He claims CBS deceptively edited Kamala Harris’ “60 Minutes” interview to make her appear more coherent, allegedly influencing the 2024 election and harming his Truth Social platform.
Filed in Texas, the suit alleges violations of the Lanham Act and Texas consumer protection laws.
CBS argues that the Lanham Act and Texas statute only govern commercial speech, not political or editorial speech, and has moved to dismiss the lawsuit.
Watch this case get a totally bogus ruling from Trump’s pet judge only to see CBS settle before any appeals court can smack it down. This whole thing that Republicans have created enabling them to pick their judge as long as a suit is filed in the correct zip code is ridiculous.
We really need to get some judges who will reliably rule against fascists. We can’t get new judges, so I wonder how many liberal judges could be persuaded that cock blocking Republicans is a higher calling right now than impartiality is.
So you want to be just like them, but with the colors you like?
What the fuck else are we supposed to do? Just sit down, write a strongly worded letter, and let Fascism take over the planet? Democrats have been doing that since forever. It’s not working. The days of playing by the rules ended in 2016. All bets are off. It’s time for them to stop being pussyass bitches, and start fighting fire with fire.
Take the high road, and shove it up your ass.
