Sort of a weirdly written title (and article). Apparently she's saying that Johnson MIGHT lose his job if he allows the Ukraine aid package to pass, and that would be a worthy sacrifice if it means that the US will get back on track to stopping Putin's war.
The title almost made it seem that she's saying that he SHOULD lose his position over this. But no...
“Right and what I would say to that is, you know, he ought to understand that it is worth it if he has to lose his Speakership in order to make sure that freedom survives in order to make sure that the United States of America continues to play its its leadership role in the world,” Cheney responded.
I can't speak for every case where they should be sued into the ground, but wouldn't the person they're defaming be the one that has to bring the charges? The shooter isn't in much of a position to do so (unless the family can?).
I'd love to see some LGBT+ organizations bring charges since they're drumming up this rhetoric to stir up hatred toward that community, but I honestly don't know if they would have legal standing to do so.
Libel is published is a better way to think of it. This is slander but can you slander a group? Like seriously is it slander when someone claims that John Wilkes Booth was Jewish? Or is it just a prelude to crimes against humanity without consequences except to the victims?
He hasn't even won the presidential election yet and people are pretending this is happening. Ignore the orange asshole unless he wins, he only wants attention.
Im Australian and we had the conversation at work today that China is predictably evil whereas America wakes up every morning and spins a roulette wheel for their D&D alignment and then another for what drug they are going to do today.
Yeah, we’ve kind of lost the narrative here. We should probably bring in a team of consultants to help us refocus on our core competencies and align our efforts better as a team.
I’m afraid that’s going to mean laying off a lot of republicans, but we need to become more efficient at delivering real value, and I’m sure they’ll understand.
In my own mind, 1994 was a couple weeks ago, not thirty years ago. It takes a conscious mental step for me to register that these candidates are demented geriatrics because they're still young in my mind because 1994 was last week.
This also applies to musicians as well as that creepy old dude I see in the mirror. No idea where he came from.
I suspect the vast majority of older voters are not taking that conscious mental step and are voting for young candidates that they remember from "last week."
This is not a justification at all. Merely a self reflection that I occasionally get caught up in time denial myself.
