The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump Can Win His Case Against Tech Giants
The companies censor on the government’s behalf. There’s ample precedent for calling it state action.

Opinion | Trump Can Win His Case Against Tech Giants

excerpt:

"It’s true that the First Amendment ordinarily applies to the government rather than private companies. But the central claim in Mr. Trump’s class-action lawsuit—that the defendants should be treated as state actors and are bound by the First Amendment when they engage in selective political censorship—has precedent to back it up. Their censorship constitutes state action because the government granted them immunity from legal liability, threatened to punish them if they allow disfavored speech, and colluded with them in choosing targets for censorship.

The Supreme Court held in Norwood v. Harrison (1973) that the government “may not induce, encourage, or promote private persons to accomplish what it is constitutionally forbidden to accomplish.” As Jed Rubenfeld and I argued in these pages in January, that’s what Congress did by passing Section 230(c)(2) of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, which permits tech companies to censor constitutionally protected speech and immunizes them from state liability if they do so.

The high court has repeatedly held that federal immunity pre-empting state law can transform a private party’s conduct into state action subject to constitutional scrutiny. In Railway Employees’ Department v. Hanson (1956), the justices found state action in union-employer agreements because Congress had passed a statute immunizing such agreements from liability under state law. In Skinner v. Railway Labor Executives Association (1989), the court again found state action in a private company’s conduct because federal laws immunized companies from liability if they tested employees for drugs."

 

Will Trump’s big tech lawsuits succeed? Experts say chances are slim

excerpt:

"All three lawsuits ask the court to award unspecified damages, declare Section 230 unconstitutional and restore Trump’s accounts, along with those of the other plaintiffs – a handful of others who have had posts or accounts removed.

Eric Goldman, a law professor at Santa Clara University in California, has studied more than 60 similar, failed lawsuits over the past few decades that sought to take on internet companies for terminating or suspending users’ accounts. He says Trump’s lawsuits are unlikely to go far.

“They’ve argued everything under the sun, including first amendment, and they get nowhere,” Goldman said. “Maybe he’s got a trick up his sleeve that will give him a leg up on the dozens of lawsuits before him. I doubt it.”

Goldman said it’s likely Trump is instead pursuing the suits to garner attention. As president, Trump last year signed an executive order challenging Section 230.

“It was always about sending a message to their base that they’re fighting on their behalf against the evil Silicon Valley tech giants,” Goldman said.

The lawsuit is “meritless” as major platforms are private entities, with first amendment rights to control the content they publish, echoed Vera Eidelman, a staff attorney with the ACLU. Eidelman added that Trump has baselessly claimed these social platforms responded to pressure from the government in their content moderation."

 

More hugging and kissing.

Read how prosecutors say a group of 5 Floridians battled with police for hours during the Capitol riot

excerpt:

"Pollock then jumps over other rioters in order to reach police, prosecutors said, and ultimately assaults three officers in quick succession: He pulls one officer down a set of steps, knees and punches another in the face, then pivots and punches a third officer in the face and pushes that officer to the ground by holding and choking the officer's neck."

 

…………Lock her up…….!!!!

Even more reason for this special investigation of the January 6 insurrection to proceed.

In the Mafia its called "The Ritual Thing", where conservatives have to at least act as if they have a spine and a brain, so they fake it. The gibberish, the fact he's apologizing and sounding like an idiot, means all is forgiven, and he has been saved by Jesus.

 

Committee recommends two Seattle Police officers be fired for trespassing during Capitol riot

excerpt:

"The Police Accountability office asked officers to provide documents and messages in order to confirm their actions on January 6, but one officer refused to turn over the records, and has been named in a separate case for insubordination and failure to cooperate with the investigation.

The Office of Police Accountability also worked with the FBI, which provided a video that it says showed the two officers standing beside the U.S. Capitol building while demonstrators climbed the nearby scaffolding.

According to the report, the person filming the video can be seen turning to the two officers and saying, "Well f***, doing it?" The person filming then turns the camera away from the officers, and a male voice says off camera, "Thinking about it."

The Office of Police Accountability wrote that it was "unbelievable" that the officers did not know they were trespassing.

"Not only were there signs posted in that area, but there were ongoing violent acts, the use of less-lethal tools by law enforcement officers, and multiple other signs that being in that location was inappropriate and impermissible," the report said. "Here, they were directly next to the Capitol Building during the same time as the ongoing insurrection."

Both of the officers seen on camera near the Capitol building told the Police Accountability office they did not realize they had been standing in a restricted area until reading news articles about the event."

I find it interesting that Trump was extremely critical of Major League Baseball for moving this years all-star game out of Atlanta to Coor's field in Denver Colorado, because of the new voter restriction laws in Georgia.

 

Wow- sounds like a housekeeper possibly saved some lives!

 

Fuck this sonofabitch.

 

Sick of his fuckin mouth

 

Fox aired a disclaimer during Trump's speech at the CPAC event when he was lying about the election.

Lawyers retreat from pro-Trump election suit

excerpt:

"The legal reckoning for attorneys who pushed former President Donald Trump’s spurious claims of election fraud advanced Monday as a federal court in Detroit held a hearing on whether to impose sanctions over a suit filed last year seeking to decertify Joe Biden’s victory in Michigan.

Two of the most prominent attorneys in the pro-Trump camp — Dallas-based Sidney Powell and Atlanta-based L. Lin Wood — are among the lawyers who brought the unsuccessful suit and whose conduct is under scrutiny by U.S. District Court Judge Linda Parker.

Another pair of attorneys involved in the case, Emily Newman and Julia Haller, served in a variety of Trump administration posts but appear to have left government late last year to aid Powell in the post-election litigation.

As the hearing opened Monday via videoconference, several lawyers sought to minimize their roles in the litigation. While Wood was listed as one of seven attorneys on the first iteration of the suit last November, he stressed to the judge that he wasn’t involved in preparing it."

 

And yet it still aired. Don't they know that those watching probably can't read big words like that?
