I love your cartoon - perfect! This is precisely what Trump and his minions, cabinet pics, and billionaires who own media are trying to do - silence anyone who dares speak or publish the truth. Fear can be a terrible thing, and so is an unending stream of money that is being funneled to Trump via his supporters. He expects no one to dare cross him because he has always sued, delayed and defamed everyone who has ever come after him or his empire. Everyone with a platform must not cower but stand tall like Lady Liberty herself and shine a light on the dangerous path we are traveling so we can find a way to navigate the next four years.
A Guardian reporter wrote that the newspaper was being sold to a less trustworthy company. You can read her scathing article in my Activities. Do you know about this? I am a subscriber but have not seen It in a while.
The judge in the E. Jean case said he is a rapist. That technically makes Inmate Number P011305089 an adjudicated rapist. He would have collapsed during deposition. ABC obeyed in advance.
So...Everyone in the world must parse every word, except for His Holy Highness and the rest of his Depraved Minions, or else? Sounds like he who has the money, power and influence...wins.
Our television producers created Trump out of whole cloth. About TWENTY YEARS AGO. And he enjoyed the role so much he continues playing his role right to the bank… through numerous legal and social quagmires which only give him more Publicity which is his VALUE to the Core of This Election. The Heritage Group fluffed Trump up to carry their Project 25 platform which is about to be unraveled on us in a few weeks.
I read this stuff and I find myself clenching my teeth. Hard. Assault is against the law, but I'd rather bite someone than damage my molars.
A defense fund? A recitation of the true statements (I like this option) published widely and often? T-shirts, cups, and etc., with particularly egregious and true crap to publicize rampant BS--funds to go to said defense fund?
There's more ways than one to eviscerate a useless creature
It's safe to assume (by now) that Lady Liberty reads English. As for Trump's cadre of lawyers, I say fight lawyers with lawyers, motion for motion, appeal for appeal. (Except, maybe not all the way to SCOTUS.)
Thank you Liza for the summary and distillation of the article. I read it as well. Maddening…and as I thought of all the new federalist society judges that Trump is going to nominate——No certainty court litigation will uphold the media’s right to report. I think only massive action by citizens to protect the constitutional right of the press might have an impact on maga republican representatives. Anxiety goes up!
Thank you for giving links to the relevant articles. In addition to Pete’s noted crimes, he is a Christian Nationalist who believes that the US should be a Christian nation. If he is appointed to head the Defense Department, he would use the military to accomplish this.
To win a defamation lawsuit one must overcome a substantial barrier: Truth is an absolute defence. If, for example, you accuse someone of drunkeness and are sued for defamation, the sworn testimony of three or four reliable witnesses that they saw the subject drunk on multiple occasions would probably do it. As always, one problem here is cost.
No court declared Donald Trump to be guilty of sexual assault against E. Jean Carrol. In a civil proceeding, the finding involves liability, not guilt, and the standard is not “beyond a reasonable doubt” but a “preponderance of the evidence”—a much lower standard. All this happened in the state of New York, the lawfare capital of America. And that explains why the civil suit in this matter is little more than a joke.
George S works for ABC.
thanks. ugh

Thank you, Dawn!
Another great all round source of journalism is The Guardian.
So many people are saying that, thank you!

That the Guardian was being sold? What is my Activities?
And thank you, Elaine, for your donation to my travel fund for DC Women's March reportage!
This is true. Sign on w $ support.
The Guardian continues to be a very good purveyor of the scene here in US. I’ve been a subscriber for many years.

Great piece today,Liza, as always, your cartoons bring your point to Light !! Thank You, and will reStack ASAP 💯👍❄️🎄☃️✨
The New Yorker will always be on top of things. And to think, I used to only open it for the cartoons - yours, of course, included.

Keep speaking out, Liza! 👍
