Judge Needs More Time To Decide If Nunes’ Twitter Suit Is Totally Worthless

TPM Article Topics

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) saw some movement in two of the three lawsuits he’s filed this week.

Nunes’ lawsuit against Twitter, a Republican strategist and some troll Twitter accounts saw its first day in court Friday. As soon as both Twitter and the GOP consultant Liz Mair were served the $250 million lawsuit, both filed a motion to dismiss the case, arguing that the location of the filing — Virginia — was absurd. Not only is it against Twitter user policy to sue the company in any state other than California, but both Twitter and Nunes are based in California. Critics believe that Nunes pointedly chose Virginia for his filing because of the state’s lax anti-SLAPP laws, which allow for the quick dismissals of cases that involve speech on issues that are of public concern.

Earlier this month, Arballo offered to help fundraise for the constituents being sued and on Friday, the Democratic challenger released a new ad campaign telling Nunes to sue him instead of the constituents, which include a farmer and a librarian.

Glad to see someone milking it for all it’s worth.

Well, that’s an absolutely lame excuse. Couldn’t do better than that?

I am no Seth Moulton fan, but he served four military tours of duty. He earned the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for valor and the Bronze Star for leadership under fire.

Cadet Bone Spurs is just a lame POS.

“Actually, I could probably have everything ready by Tuesday, but I know I have a ton of great cow jokes in me that I could include in my decision!”, the judge remarked, judiciously.

The Judge in this case retired to chambers and was last seen laughing so hard he was crying.

There are about 20 people in the courtroom that are supporting @DevinCow, with shirts cow stuffed animals and cow ears.

It’s rare to get cases with this level of notoriety, so clearly the judge wants to milk the opportunity for all it’s worth.

“Well, the suit is not totally worthless”, said Judge Marshall. “The paper it was printed on was quite nice, actually. Looked pretty pricey to me!”

That is the lamest and most far-fetched excuse I have seen in ages (15 minutes in TrumpLand)

There would have been more but a large contingent of cows (mostly Holsteins but including some Herefords and a Jersey or two) were across the corridor lending support to the plaintiffs in their case against Chick fil A.
