When a CBC article says "most dogs don't bite small children", what the CBC means is that 50.01% of dogs don't bite small children. Another example of this use of 'most': "Most Albertan voters have sided with the province on its questions relating to immigration ..." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The fact the plaintiff already had a bad reputation tends to show that his or her reputation has not been substantially affected by additional derogatory communication. ...[I]n rare cases a person may be so notorious and his or her reputation so poor that he or she may be held to be ‘libel-proof’.

In the United Kingdom and Canada, "contemptuous damages" may be awarded where the defamation plaintiff's reputation is already so bad that the publication cannot have done any harm. The amount awarded is the lowest coin of the realm.

I can't think of a person on the planet I would feel less threatened by if they were to drop mobster-style bullshit like this toward me. The ONLY way I could be harmed by him is by choking to death after hyperventilating from laughing so fucking hard.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. To the innermost heart of their own land they are known As the stars are known to the Night. Laurence Binyon, 1914

Trump is a traitor to not just America and Ukraine but the entire world. He adores Vladimir Putin literally. It’s more than Putin having stuff on him and him wanting to do business. Trump is totally infatuated and obsessed with this man. He keeps talking about touching other men’s butts at rally’s…

Anyone remember the start of Trump's 1st term when mainstream media debated whether it was fair to use the word "lies" when reporting Trump's lies? Anyone remember the media apologizing for their claimsTrump had "pivoted" and "become presidential" during his 1st state of the union address?

Canada is a sovereign nation. You have no voice or power there. Your baseline personality is a Psychopath-Sociopath, Narcissist, Machiavellian, paranoid, sadist with significant advancing dementia. Take your word salad and your authoritarianism and go crawl in a hole.

Putin is kicking Trump's bum down the street everyday, showing the whole world that DJT is a weak loser. Weird after all his barstool bullshitting about "winning"'that the world's biggest loser would tolerate such abuse.

Susan Neiman: How to describe these days of nightmare, when each morning brings another infamy that, not long ago, could have shocked us senseless? Some days they come too fast to count, let alone analyze, or even remember.…There’s no signpost on the border between evil and awful.

Knowing as much as can be known about a public figure whose cruelty and corruption had been on display for a decade, how was it possible that Americans elected him twice? My concern is with the moral ideas that Trump embodies and reinforces,ideas that are destructive enough to warrant the word evil.

Machiavelli concluded that “it is difficult, or rather impossible, either to maintain a republican form of government in states which have become corrupt or to create such a form afresh.” Instead, the old vitality simple ebbs away. Final disaster comes not from outside, but from within. A Herman

Trump is announcing he is not the leader of the free world, not even a reliable member of the democratic west, that he is in fact an ally of its enemies – but the west either doesn’t fully get the message or can’t bring itself to draw the obvious conclusion. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
