That reminds me, when is Smartmatics lawsuit vs Fox coming to trial?

787 mil and Fox hasn't stopped telling lies so I hope they lose much more this time around.

No it is not.

Any retard in this country can sue anyone they choose to for any reason that pops into their moronic little skulls. Hell, look at all that ridiculous election litigation.

And, given her past statements, McDaniel (if nothing else) has a vivid imagination. Would probably claim she is being discriminated against by NBC on 1st amendment grounds or some other such worthless shit....

Now, suing and winning is a whole other issue.

Except, these days lawyers (even those who know they will win hands down in court) will still settle even frivolous suits if it costs less. Dominion's lawsuit was obviously not frivolous, and they could have absolutely eliminated Fox News as a business entity had they gone to court; however, they instead settled for a much smaller payday instead of making a payday with a point in court.

The winning part was implied ...

Shoot I crossed the streams

But the 2.7 billion number is right for the fox lawsuit

But the last update I saw was the lawsuit can move foward



But in a strange twist of events the fox vs smartmatic lawsuit can also move forward…. I guess fox is but hurt that smartmatic defamed them



Smartmatic does have a page for its lawsuit. But has not been updated in a while

Yeah that sucks. It's means they're just happy with a payday and will likely settle with the others for the right price.

OAN isn't going to have the $$$ that Fox does so they're probably not even giving a hint to Fox how much the amount they'll settle for is.

“We are professional journalists all about getting out the truth! Well, until we get paid.”

Ugh…
They aren’t journalists, they are a for profit company?

I share everyone’s disappointment that they don’t force something public but it’s not exactly shocking that the settlement was private.

oan and smartmatic settled

Would be nice if the settlement required them to say that they disseminated misinformation about voting fraud in addition to financial punishment.

Oops! Didn't read the last few threads before I posted.

Speaker Johnson and Marjorie Taylor Grinovich prove once again that Republicans are ill-equipped to do anything useful without Democratic support. She’ll be wanting Johnson’s head on a platter.


“Democrats, once again, will be the adults in the room, and I’m so glad Republicans finally realize the gravity of the situation and the urgency with which we must act,” - Jim McGovern, D, Mass (minority chair of the Rules Committee)

Survive for what? Budget done for rest of the term. Aid packages better than nothing. When does summer break happen? So it’s moot point to be speaker for next month and then return in the fall. But then everyone campaigning also.

Finally the dems playing smart politics. They just backed johnson into a corner they control. If he pivots back to the FHC they'll be out for blood. He has to work with dems now to survive.
Nah, Johnson is still 90% MAGA crazy and will continue putting forward mostly Trump/FHC bills. He just rarely can be pulled back into reality to deal with crises (but only after they've festered into worse crises), as opposed to the rest of the FHC which wants to burn down the country.

Fair criticism but better to have leverage than not.

If for no other reason than to show that promises made by the democrats are credible.

Who knows what votes will come up in the remainder of the term, but even if it only deals a huge "L" to MTG/Gaetz/Massie wing of the GQP then it was still worth it.

She truly is repugnant, and not referring at all to her physical looks.

Between her, Gaetz and that complete weirdo Santos, the GOP is definitely on a role to see how inbred their party can act. The Democrats have their "winners" too, like Menendez (who they need to kick out) and Weiner (who they did kick out). Hell they made Franken quit and what he did doesn't even register next to these GOP turds.

I think you intentionally noted the difference: Democrats kick out their bad apples while the GQP reelects theirs. Santos is the rare exception.

Marge seems content to highlight how useless the Freedumb Caucus is... and her district will reelect her in November by > 20 points.
