Safeguards Against Frivolous Lawsuits.
Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and (state rules) requires attorneys or parties to certify that the lawsuit is filed in good faith, has a factual basis, and is not for improper purposes. If the rule is violated, the court can impose sanctions.
@mollyjongfast.bsky.social…Maybe he’s admitting to what he has done that hasn’t came out yet! Hmmm 🤔 something to think about! I think that’s the problem with some people…they don’t think it’s happening!
Every time Trump speaks from one of his properties there needs to be discussion on how many undocumented workers he employs.
Even this clown needs those people to run his properties.
The hypocrisy!!
Point of the lawsuit isn't to win on the merits. It is to sue the newspaper into shutting its operation because it will become too expensive. Donald's killing the free press in open & plain view. https://youtube.com/live/PJSAcWtonSU?feature=share
That’s what Peter Thiel did to one of the newspapers/websites that outed him as being gay. Hawk Hogan’s lawsuit against them was a front for the wrecking ball treatment.
I could google it but I prefer to struggle with my memory. 😂😂 I want to say that it was Gawker.
She and the Iowa Dispatch have to fight this. If they do, they will win. He cannot show damages. He can also not show a fraudulent practice. He can also not show either did so knowingly or that they reasonably should have known it was a fraudulent practice.
I actually think she was wrong 1 time before but there where special circumstances at the time. I’d have to look it up. In any case, in decades, she only missed the mark once so it’s highly unusual.
By Friday, it will be 685 days until the 2026 mid-terms...So, let the simple bastard spend all his time going to court against anybody who calls him the asshole he is....with 468 total seats up for re-election (33 Senate, all 435 House)...can you say Impeachment #3, coming Feb. 2027 ? I can. 🗽
Its also nonsense. Unless the case is going before Kash Patel dressed up in judicial robes, it'll probably get tossed out. This is probably the initial probing after the ABC News success for Trump. The Heritage Society are seeing what they can change
Nothing's bad.
Just because Trump was able to bully a few wimps doesn't mean he's invincible. When a bully goes up against someone who stands their ground, they fold.
Which is just another thing about this election that doesn't add up at all. How the hell did Kamala go from having crazy momentum and all signs pointing to a victory, and lose narrowly to Donny Dumpster??!! Make it make fucking sense. The math ain't mathing, that's all...🤔🤔🧐🧐
Next it will be individual posters who get sued. Or worse- arrested. All I know is if I’m rounded up and arrested. Please send me to Gitmo. I’m sick of Midwest winters.
Maybe use his tactics to fundraise with the $$ used to backstop the counter-lawsuits against him while defending the ones he thinks he’s going to file? Get everyone who is thinking about running to barnstorm for the next 2yrs free to attack him with “fighting words” just like he did for the last 4
Yep. I was just thinking that this morning. It’s kind of ironic really. During his 1st administration, I was like “please w/the 💩show” & “get him off TV” when he & that lying McKannanee (sp) woman would be at the podium 🤢 nonsense. I was like make it 🛑. Now that it will likely stop, I’m like f*c. 😂
What are Democrats DOING about it? The easiest reporting is just jumping in the pool of Trump fuckery. What's the opposition going to do? If it's not a damn thing then report that...name names. Nobody needs anyone to tell them it's bad.
What people do not realize is there are journalists across this World that Trump can not come within a mile to touch, bullying, threaten, or even know they exsist.
Why have they not asked for a forensic audit of even one swing state? I just cannot understand, with all of the peculiarities of this election, they wouldn’t ask for even one audit.
That's what vexatious litigants do. They threaten to sue and they sue. If he were poor, he'd be banned from some courts. But he is who he is - the luckiest demon in a meat suit.
He is such a petty small person, this is NOT something the President of United States should focus on! BUT he does and WTF he won the damn election???? Who the hell cares about the polls??? That isnt going to make eggs cheaper!!!!
Well, @mollyjongfast.bsky.social , if anyone knows what #fraud is, it would be @realdonaldtruump.bsky.social! I believe @abcnewsbot.bsky.social and #George #Stephanopolous have emboldened this orange clown, and all of America will pay a dear price.
Goddamn! You'd THINK the Orange Vomit would LAUGH at this, like "Oh gee, see! She was wrong, and I won Iowa anyways!" It just goes to show he cheated, like ALL Republican presidents since Eisenhower.
"fraud and election interference"...But, "I just want you to find 11,780 votes" is just a polite request not an attempt to defraud the American people & election interference! This is what happens when SCOTUS protects Trump acting in his own interest over the best interest of the American people!
🚨🚨Question please: Since the Supreme Court has granted immunity, can Biden, in his official capacity, declare that Trump poses a danger to the United States and the world, and therefore prevent the certification of the election results?
He really thinks he gets lèse-majesté protections. There's going to be a need for pro bono legal work tho, these people almost certainly want to bankrupt their targets regardless of the outcome of the cases
No one is breaking the law by telling the truth. If he hates bad press so much he can stop being a bad person. (Pauses for laughter) Stop being a heartless moron and people will stop reporting that you're a heartless moron. See how easy that is?
It's not even about whether the poll was accurate or not. This looney tunes decides to sue over a poll? I am so sick of his retribution and ploys for cash.
We have to keep the focus on what's really corrupt election, interference and malfeasance. This lets unify and support our new president is not working for me. 🤷 They are trying so hard to erase their history.
When I saw the poll I knew it wouldn't be accurate. There was no way she'd win Iowa. Iowans aren't the same people we were in 08/12. My husband was threatened for asking where to find a Biden flag in 2020
I did have hope that the poll meant she was popular enough to sweep actual swing states.
Yeah hed love too. Yet he can't even control himself. His mouth,his eating habits- he can't even keep his pants on. He's dellusional. p.s tell 45 this is MY opinion. Sue me
I hate him more and more with each passing day. The massive threat that he poses to this country and to the world should be running on all news outlets 24/7.
Sure, it's ridiculous and he'll lose. But very sadly, I suspect merit isn't what it's about. He now has infinite cash and can bankrupt whom ever he wants with legal costs.
Geez, he won Iowa and the election. I know it's impossible for him to do it, but give it a rest. I guess he's going to go after everyone who he perceives has wronged him in some way. Just what we need in a President. 😔
You know what? I know these things are complicated & I’m even being a bit reactionary, but . . . when parents see Trump-like tendencies in their kids (e.g., lying, narcissistic, bullying, vengeful, just a bottomless pit of unmet needs), please do us all a favor by stomping that 💩 out.
Elle Woods asked the question, “Why this sperm?” I think it applies - hundreds of news outlets publish thousands of polls-why this one? We all know - it’s simply to intimidate the press. I hope it’s thrown out and he has to pay their legal bill!
If we can’t sue a sitting President because it would take time away from their very important duties, then how the hell does he have time for all these lawsuits? He was supposed to be in a 4 hour deposition today for the ABC thing. If he drops lawsuits on all media will he show up at the trials? No!
It’s not about the poll! It’s about killing the media and putting the First Amendment under his heel. He doesn’t believe in or want a free press. The poll is his “in” to attack the paper/press. He wants a precedent to take to SCOTUS. No president has tried to silence the press like trump has.
Someone needs to educate Trump about polls.
And if suing based on a poll that didn’t ultimately pan out was a thing, I’d say Hillary could file lawsuits out the wazoo.
Fuck President Elect Mudhead. He’s such a talking pile a pigshit. He thinks he’s going to intimidate everyone with his bullshit. Except for the billionaires and spineless ABC feeling intimidated. Face it he only won by 1.5 percent. That means the rest of us will be happy to string that bitch up.
He's the 1st one to call people defamatory names on his opinion...a poll is a tabulation of people's opinions. Just bc he didn't like the poll doesnt mean he can go around suing people for their opinions. He infuriates me
It's suing someone over their opinion- 1st ammendment rights is freedom of speech and an opinion is excersizing that right and a poll is just adding up people opinions. It's like suing someone bc they say a certain team will lose the game.
It's a SLAPP suit: Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP suit) to chill speech. It's meritless & may be disposed on a motion to dismiss. Hard to see how Donald was damaged in anyway. Still, it gets publicity & often news of a dismissal gets less coverage so a strong chilling effect.
John Oliver had a very entertaining and informative segment on SLAPP suits after a SLAPP suit filed against him concluded (which had been filed by Trump crony, Bob Murray--the coal magnate).
I know the Democrats fucked up again with AOC, but I think, regardless of what they want, she is going to be leading the pack going forward by not letting shit like this be forgotten.
You can thank ABC /Disney for cowering like a scared puppy and then handing him $15M. So it’s open season. WaPo and NYT and LA Times already sane-washed bent the knee.
I suspect you are probably on the hit list, unless you decide to capitulate. Good luck, as you may be forced to answer to billionaires and their sycophants. It now appears that freedom of speech will only to available to us if we don’t speak poorly of the incoming administration.
I love how this pollster had been correct for years until this election and then was suddenly wrong. And then is going to be sued for it. That sounds fishy as hell. Almost as if to make pollsters and journalists capitulate to his demand for loyalty from the press.
So polls are election interference and fraud?
Note the fact that he's quoted polls in his tweets for 10+ yrs.
She can use that as evidence that he only accepts favorable polls. MIchael Cohen said he paid pollsters to use fake numbers to show favor to Trump. He will lose in court.
Worse than bad as Trump can and will now use the enormous resources of the federal government to pursue frivolous harassment suits against anybody exercising their 1st Amendment rights. And the people with the money to fight are surrendering one after another, proactively.
Trump got to Baghdad stand in the middle of the 🏝️🏝️🏜️ put a pistol in your mouth and pull the trigger, damn you're a vile perverted dick twisted miserable S
O B
The media need to stand up to Trump and counter sue him for frivolous lawsuits. Take him to court for costs plus punitive judgement. This fascists crsp has to stoo.
Agree, but hear me out. What if it means no more polls? If he won a suit, would it not kill the industry?As the saying goes, we won’t have a democracy until the last pollster is strung up by guts of the last pundit. Present company excepted, of course.
Really. Also very bad.
It's one thing for Trump to want his campaign to fire pollsters who don't tell him he's the most winningest winner every to be running a race that he'll surely win by a landslide, instead of telling him useful things about reality.
Shenanigans with SOS secret lists of voters to challenge was ONE feature of our election here, along with several restrictive voting policies enacted by our GOP
Side query: do you have another account on here? Someone with a similar ID started following me and I wasn’t sure how to confirm it wasn’t you. I don’t like to DM people without invitation.
The worst part is watching the major media channels are now to kiss the ring. Maybe he's partially right. They are corrupt, just not in the way he thinks they are. Independent media and offers matter.
In order to sue, he needs to prove damages. Quantify damage. How was he damaged by what the Des Moines Register printed? Did candy-ass Republicans believe the poll and stay home? Oh, hell no. He won Iowa going away by a 14% margin.
No damage, no standing, no grounds for a lawsuit.
Big. Fat. Bully.

If we can’t sue him because it would take valuable time away from “Presidenting,” he should be barred from suing anyone for the next four years.

Yes, that sounds like sarcasm--until it isn't.
Him to suck eggs https://crushthelsatexam.com/deep-dive-donald-trumps-long-history-of-lawsuits/
Then I realized, OMG the other 40% must be worse, but have one more point IQ, so they aren't stupid enough to say so.
And it sets an Intimidation-based precedent to future pollsters: big numbers for me or jailtime.
Just in time for midterms!
Lawsuits better than arrests.
There are no guardrails now.
Contrary to worldwide ignorance, the United States of America cannot continue to fund genocides with its tax revenue taken from its citizens.
Democrats and Republicans pay for the attempted genocide of the Palestinian people.

We are moving into uncharted waters

Do NOT obey in advance. Commit to resist!
Now it's time to separate him from the rest of society. For his own good.

Selzer gave a dose of overconfidence to anti trumpers.
This may have emboldened the protest voters to not vote for Harris.
Should she be prosecuted? Of course not.
Was a huge disservice that may have helped trump win? Yes.
lol. We knew he wouldn’t be governing.
But that could be my paranoia showing.
And if suing based on a poll that didn’t ultimately pan out was a thing, I’d say Hillary could file lawsuits out the wazoo.

Remember Republicans demanded Free Speech?
Actually, I'm sure they know they'll lose but the goal is to send a chill through journalists across the country.
No damage, no standing, no grounds for a lawsuit.
Big. Fat. Bully.
