In an effort to silence critics…he gave them a massive microphone.
Brilliant.
I’m sure he thinks he can scare a few people off but the defendants will crowdsource/gofundme enough to get to the first hearing where this suit will be tossed out in record haste.
Meanwhile…this will be in the news for days to come…
Nunes may be using the courts to make a political statement
May?? Is there any question?
I guess Republicans’ decades-long call for tort reform has an exception for Republican Snowflakes.
ETA: Perhaps they’ve meant this all along …
Who’s the snowflake now, Dirty Devin?
I always thought their reform effort was to help them stop losing .
Years ago, I had a totally bullshit business lawsuit launched against me and my business partner.
The plaintiff withdrew the case when my lawyer told his lawyer that he had better win or get sued for malicious prosecution.
Looks like Desi is off the hook.
Nunes’ stupidity is the gift that keeps on giving.
Time for More Cowbell Meme?
The good news is that should this suit survive any preliminary motions and reach discovery, Nunes will be forced to produce all records relevant to or which may lead to information relevant to the lawsuit. This would include all his conduct and efforts related to the Russia investigation(s), since those are the subject of the supposedly offending posts. He would also be forced to submit to depositions, and could be compelled to testify in court.
He’s a fool. But that goes without saying, I guess.
Nunes is a public official. You can say almost anything you want about him and there is nothing he can do. I suspect the judge will toss this lawsuit.
Q: Rep. Nunes, is it true that you probably would have joined the Proud Boys if it weren’t for that unfortunate “no masturbating” rule?"
A: Definitely not.
Q: So the no-masturbating rule was not a deterrent for you?
A: No. I mean yes. I mean…could you repeat the question?
Q: Was the no-masturbating rule what stopped you from joining the Proud Boys?
A: Definitely not.
Q: So you were okay with the no-masturbating rule?
A: Yes. I mean no. I mean…could you repeat the question?
Q: I’ll move on. Are you a presidential fluffer?
Cow patties!
ETA: Reading responses, I’m late with that one. I also liked silver bracelets.
So if I say he licks moose loins no problem then?
Nunes is on shaky legal ground:
His cow on the other hand…
I would assume the same with regard to trump and his whining about Saturday Night Live kidding him.
The man seems dumber than a box of rocks. I guess you can find a lawyer to bring suit about anything, but I can sure think of a lot of defenses to this steaming mess.
Satire truly is completely and utterly LOST upon Conservative Assholes.
That is why NONE of their “Comedy Shows” has lasted more than a few episodes.
They just don’t KNOW how to be “funny”.
Clearly the term “far-right thinker” is an oxymoron. Without question, people of the far-right are incapable of thought.
Nunes looks like a third grader. He obviously thinks like one too. I wonder how many lawyers turned him down before he found one willing to write such a ridiculous smear job on him that he spends all his time blaming the judge and media and not his thief lawyer who told him he had a case. I mean, this whole thing is a Greatest Hits from his three biggest enemies. Why??
Surely there were things from these three Twitter accounts that could be seen as defamatory in some way. But nobody will know because they’re too busy thinking about the Putin Centipede Nunes’ Mom posted. Yikes! If someone posted that about me using a longtime parody account of my mom, I’d have bowed to their awesomeness, not included it in a law suit. If you can’t laugh at yourself, everyone else will.
