Once you lose 100 frivolous lawsuits do you get a free sandwich or something? Asking for a president

This is also a poor example of subject-verb agreement. Probably because the writer was a mere scribe, taking dictation.

The attorney who signed their name should be embarrassed.

The clutching of pearls by grown males, is unnerving, unnatural, and makes one question if exists somewhere under all those pithy grievances and victimhood, an actual Man.

Well there’s no such thing as Rule 11, just take it out of the books

These are word salads for rightwing media and their addicts. Judges see through this shit, but then they're conveniently threatened as "activist". Lawfare as pure propaganda.

“2/3 of SCOTUS can’t be wrong!” ~Dr Lionel Hutz, ostensibly

I understand that it’s the lawyer’s job to represent the client’s interests. But I could not bring myself to write such things. My toes just curl up, reading such tripe.

“…in a deranged way.”! 🤪

It does kinda incentivize them to show bases. 🙃

It’s actual malice in the colloquial sense.

But in the colloquial sense…

If this were how the courts were to define actual malice, Fox News would have long ago been sued into oblivion

'each feels actual malice in the colloquial sense' HE COMMITTED MURDER, YOUR HONOUR. I mean... metaphorically

Ah, the last 15 minutes of “Absence of Malice” is my favorite Wilford Brimley. Doesn’t address your point really but I was reminded.

In the US, this almost amounts to the same thing? Trump forcing (or engineering) settlements in his favour, avoiding as many decisions against him as possible, spinning his losses, seems to be how he works.

The 10 billion suit against CBS was also ridiculous. And they settled for 16 million.

the pleading literally says that it's proof the NYT was doing a actual malice that they couched everything they said in expressions of opinion and quotes from other people

My favorite part might be the "Parties" section listing other media defendants that have settled with him, like a roadmap for "settling" this case.

The purpose of the lawsuit is to force a settlement that forces the Times to take a knee.

Let's be honest here, NOBODY "baselessly" hates Donald Trump There are plenty of reasons to

There are many good reasons to hate our client. The defendants hate him in a general way, for no specific reason, therefore our client has been defamed. bsky.app/profile/rpsa...

That blew me away.

"I want to punish people for openly disliking me." Totally normal, stable, genius behaviour. Temper tantrump.

Lawyers who file this dreck need to be disbarred.

Seeking to amend my meme

The ramifications and merits of this suit aside, it warms my heart knowing that NYT capitulated to Trump as hard as it did and is still being strung up.

Maybe an NDA won't even be needed. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

This dude is suing the NYT for having the made up “Trump Derangement Syndrome”. ?? This is the stupidest timeline.

What the hell kind of nonsense is this. People don't like Rump and tried to sway public opinion against him so that he politically fails? Wow! People have only been doing that against their government leaders for **literally as long as human society has existed**.

* "in the colloquial sense"

lmao you feel like they wrote "meanness" and then replaced it with "malice" to sound more legal-y.

This is exactly how Olthaus argued actual malice in his pleadings in my case. It was ridiculous then and now but it’s much more dangerous now. And it’s only been 2 years since dismissal!

Will be read lol

Turns out not going to law school in the 90s was the best decision I ever made

One of the lawyers was up for a judgeship but withdrawn.

They did couch it with “in the colloquial sense”. lol

Republicans on the Supreme Court will make a special rule for their very special boy. As president, Trump can change the meaning of any legal words. Supremely corrupt Republican Justices: 'When you're a Republican president we let you get away with it, grab 'em by the Black's dictionary'.

2023: "Judge sanctions Trump, Habba nearly $1 million for ‘completely frivolous’ Clinton suit" www.politico.com/news/2023/01... 2023: www.newsweek.com/alina-habba-... Trump claims with a straight face that he only hires the best.

The Trump Family Crest:

I have known a lot of disagreeable and unethical people without much insight into their own amorality and unpleasantness, but I don't think any of them ever thought that someone disliking them was itself a sign of mental illness

Trump's vendetta speaking rambles on the other hand give us daily examples of malice aforethought.

Can't rule out the possibility that Trump offered the Times access in exchange for a few million dollars, and this is the means through which they're conducting the transaction

Nothing matters anymore except for money and power. That's always been the case you say? OK, nevermind.

This isn't really what 'malice' means colloquially either. I mean, if we're counting.

The actual malice allegations which follow are just conclusory. IMO they justify dismissal.

Someone needs to contact those lawyers at the bottom of the filling and give them the Cleveland Browns letter. "Some asshole is impersonating you." Thanks to the herculean efforts of the terminally online (and some #lawsky folks) more layman than ever understand 'actual malice'. This is shameful.

I'm glad NYT has the money for lawyers. Just hoping they have the guts to actually fight him in court instead of settling.

It sounds like Steven Miller wrote it.

No, but this is how you corrupt the law to say what you want it to say. It's AI training for the "law." bsky.app/profile/mmas...

None of this stops until he’s gone. Call your reps & GOP leaders ask how long they are going to run cover for trumps sex trafficking. Your reps and GOP leaders can be reached 202-224-3121 Tell them to remove Trump by impeachment/treason charges Need help use 5calls.org Also, Runforsomething.net

Lol at "in the colloquial sense."

If they had to actually worry about paying consequences, they might not be able to file bs lawsuits.

And yet somehow there will be zero consequences

This defamation lawsuit is proof nothing penetrates Trump's narcissism, not even paying $400K to the NY Times in legal costs less than two years ago, the last time he tried to sue them for defamation. Then again, he has a stronger hold on the courts now... www.bbc.com/news/world-u...

When all your lawyers are twitter edgelords, all your lawsuits will be twitter shitposts. What's depressing is that there were times when putting this on a paper would instantly end lawyer's carrer. Now it puts you on a shortlist for the next attorney general...
