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.

    You fucking idiots.

    The instant you bought into it, you signed up for this. He’s going to keep fucking with you. The day after you pay, he’s going to be fucking with you again. The FCC’s going to pull your license. He’s going to sue you again for something you allegedly did in 2014. It’ll never stop, until you actually stand up for yourself.

    And now you’re out $15 million, for nothing. You got nothing at all for it.

      It’s like mob tactics, once you pay for protection they’ll just keep coming back asking for more until you’re bled dry, then they’ll dispose of you.

        Oh, you’re right. CBS was the one that provided transcripts to the FCC when they didn’t need to.

        I still maintain that they are idiots. Fight back, man. That’s the way.

    You know…

    It’s weird how mind-blowingly silent moderates are about Kamala.

    I haven’t seen a single mocking comment about if she thinks supporting a genocide is still more important than winning the election.

    Or being against healthcare reform…

    Or being pro-border wall

    Or against taxing the wealthy

    Or being pro-fracking

    Or any of the other ways she pissed off pieces of the Dem party because she wanted donations more than she wanted votes.

      You know… It’s weird how giddy the ‘progressives’ are over the dismantling of cultural norms and suppression of marginal groups who at the very least would have maintained at least a status-quo quality of life rather than being used as a token to pin every social I’ll on in a similar fashion to 1940s Germany…

      You see, anyone who is of a certain type that got a law degree only got it because of DEI. There! Conservatives now have permission to ignore those credentials entirely, unless they are the right type of people.

    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.

          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.

              Dude I’m watching my country fall apart, and nobody’s doing a god damn thing about it. Of course I’m going to be “aggressive” about it. The question is why is no one else? It’s like you don’t even care!

                  I don’t mean you specifically; I’m talking about Americans in general. Of course you don’t care, cause it’s not your problem. What excuse do US citizens have? Literally all my peers have a similar attitude as you, and they fucking live here.

    Absolute gold right here:

    her habit of uttering ‘word salads’ — i.e., jumbles of exceptionally incoherent speech…"

    Is this projection or is he too dumb to understand what she says?

      I mean, it would take a fair amount of cognitive dissonance to suggest Kamala does not speak in word salads a lot of the time. She’s a terrible speaker
