Friday Truth Social filed a $3.78 Billion defamation suit against @washingtonpost

Today is see that the lawyer in the WaPo suit is the same guy who helped Devin Nunes Sue CNN, and Cows on Twitter.

https://politizoom.com/revealed-trumps-lawyer-in-wapo-suit-is-same-guy-who-helped-nunes-sue-cnn-cows-before/

This is a crap case. UNLIKE the , and cases. When asked the cow Devin sued thinks that is filing lawsuits to scare off critics, tie them in legal knots and either “bankrupt and/or wear them out emotionally.”

Trump unraveling!

@spocko@mastodon.online avatar

I'm really happy is suing Trump again. As I wrote last week, when we win against Trump we need to keep fighting, because he doesn't stop, he must BE stopped.

We need to learn from our successes. Know how our opponent reacts to losing. Build on the victory and don't stop with on win.

After Nebraska lawmakers passed the 12-week abortion ban they should update their slogan to:
Nebraska, honestly it's not for women.

DC Police Intel Lieutenant Arrested for Leaking Info to Proud Boys.
A, D.C., police officer was arrested on Friday after being charged with lying about sharing confidential info with the leader of the Proud Boys.
The indictment alleges that Shane Lamond, who was head of the department’s intelligence branch, was in “regular contact” from July 2019 to Jan 2021 with Enrique Tarrio, then-leader of the Proud Boys, communicating at least 500 times via different channels. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/05/d-c-cop-shane-lamond-indicted-for-leaking-to-enrique-tarrio.html

Some of the Intel he might have shared is that the Secret Service evaluation of the Proud Boys didn't see them as a THREAT. That is something we learned during the hearings. The Secret Service said and 3%ers were not a threat. They saw them as "friendlies"

@davidmarsh I was so stressed at work I was going to give myself a heart attack, so a friend told me "The CEO won't come to your funeral."
I thought about that, my direct boss might come, but mostly to see which of my colleagues are slacking by attending.

Then he would try it get new business from at the memorial.
How do I know this? Because that is what he did when one of my co-workers died.
He said, "Yes, it's a funeral, but it's a WORKING FUNERAL. So bring your business cards."

Nice comment from @jashead
"Reading about Spocko's extremely successful campaign is a great way to keep your spirits up for the long road ahead. "

After my first win against my local radio hosts on KSFO, I kept building on successes. It’s not an accident that Tucker Carlson had no advertiser revenue in 2023. That’s a good thing, We made that happen. As a CEO of a syndication company said about our campaign,
"It was enough to change the paradigm for all of talk radio."

E. Jean Carroll won. Dominion won. The Sandy Hook families won. I'm glad they won, but I'm still depressed. Why? Because it's not enough.

I feel the same frustration and anger as many, "He'll never pay. He'll raise money on this!"

So I wrote a piece, "Why we must keep crushing Trump after we win." with some examples how we do it.

@Litzz11 You know, in some states he could be sued for reckless endangerment. But, the gun lobby haa worked hard to turn "negligent discharge" into an "accident, " as if the gun just "went off"and the owner wouldn't be held responsible for his negligence.

In San Jose, people with firearms now have to have liability insurance. This is a start.

spocko,
@spocko@mastodon.online avatar

@Litzz11 Notice how the story is written:

"The man was walking back to his truck when the gun went off, striking him in the leg, Sheriff White said."
(Went off? According to who? The shooter. Not a reliable witness!)
"While it’s not clear why the man brought the gun, White stressed that there was no malicious intent."
Why did White need to stress that? Because he didn't want people to think he was a "bad guy with a gun?"
But he BROKE THE LAW.
"It is illegal to have a gun on school property."

As a child I told people my house was kitty-corner from a church.

Was the term based on how cats walked?

How did diagonal become kitty-corner?

spocko,
@spocko@mastodon.online avatar

@Litzz11 thank you.
My kid logic told me it was based on how cats walked.
As an adult i could have used the Google-brand search engine, to answer the question, but I figured you folks would have a more fanciful reason.

spocko,
@spocko@mastodon.online avatar

@Litzz11
French! Oh no! My made up answer:

"The term kitty-corner derives from the location of New York City's most famous cat house which was located diagonally from Noah Webster's home, who lived there in 1793.
https://noahwebsterhouse.org/timelineofnoahslife2/
1793 Webster moved back to New York City. Began publication of “The American Minerva” ( a Federalist Party newspaper) and the semi-weekly “Herald.” Daughter, Julia was born.

First used in, "A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language," published in 1803.

I'm thinking, "How would Donald Trump destroy Donald Trump?" I thought of this photo of Mitt Romney with Trump.
Trump made him grovel & humiliated him after he lost. Mitt "stayed down" after a loss but Trump doesn't.
What is OUR strategy to ?

It's interesting that for a lot of people on the right the strategy to fight Trump is, "Wait for him to die."

But if Trump does die, without being crushed narratively, legally and politically, does Trumpism die?
No.

That clip from Trump’s deposition where he defends his “you can grab ‘em by the pussy if you’re a star” comments is really quite mind-boggling. What a monumental bag of reeking feces this former president is.

He says it’s been like this for “the last million years … fortunately or unfortunately” for stars like him. Just fucking unreal.

@Green_Footballs Fortunately, in the history of the world, sometimes men get punished for their sexual assault.

Trump found liable for sexual assault tidy. MASH UP Video of Trump and the King from Mel Brooks History of the World Part One. With the ending, fortunately, in the history of the world, sometimes men get punished for their sexual assault.
