President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Maybe McConnell should try looking in a mirror.

 

Nice

 

I really want to see how the RNC spins how the Pennsylvania primary results are really good news for Donnie J.

 

It doesn't apply to publication of a defamatory statement that is generally available to the public, such as the National Enquirer. The very limited circumstances where the discovery rule has been allowed to toll the statute of limitations in a defamation case involve publications that the defamed person couldn't have known about with reasonable diligence, such as an internal corporate communication or an email from a former spouse to an employer (a significant percentage of modern defamation cases arise out of marital discord), but in those cases damages are typically limited since the defamatory statement's effects were limited.

The rise of the Internet created some interesting fact patterns some 20+ years ago where people "discovered" defamatory statements three and four years after the fact when they put their name in a search engine and up popped an old web publication, often on a newspaper website or some other regional website and after the person had moved away.

There's a bunch of cases where lawyers argued unsuccessfully for tolling under the discovery rule. Since that clearly wasn't working, some also attempted a theory of "continuous publication" on the idea that because the Internet is less perishable than a newspaper (or tv newscast) that every day it is up should be considered the day from which the statute of limitations runs. That was universally rejected, too, by the dozen or so courts that looked at it.

Courts have also consistently held that Internet publications are generally available to the public, no matter how obscure or low traffic the website.

 

It's obviously election fraud with Democrats illegally and unsuccessfully infiltrating the Republican electorate.

 

In a closed primary. Them bastards! We knew they was smart with that college learnin.

 

LOL

George Santos ends comeback bid for Congress after raising no money

 

Transition to.....prison?

 

I'm certain there are a good chunk of people with problems with both - but you have to wonder about groups outraged by Columbia students protesting the war in Gaza and being disruptive who have no problems with Trump's court antics, and vice versa. Hey, they're both expressing their First Amendment rights! Right?

 

But evidence of actual malice wouldn't have come out until Pecker testified.
