Even under the most generous and lenient application of Rule 8, the complaint is decidedly improper and impermissible. The pleader initially alleges an electoral victory by President Trump “in historic fashion” — by “trouncing” the opponent — and alludes to “persistent election interference from the legacy media, led most notoriously by the New York Times.” The pleader alludes to “the halcyon days” of the newspaper but complains that the newspaper has become a “full-throated mouthpiece of the Democrat party,” which allegedly resulted in the “deranged endorsement” of President Trump’s principal opponent in the most recent presidential election. The reader of the complaint must labor through allegations, such as “a new journalistic low for the hopelessly compromised and tarnished ‘Gray Lady.’” The reader must endure an allegation of “the desperate need to defame with a partisan spear rather than report with an authentic looking glass” and an allegation that “the false narrative about ‘The Apprentice’ was just the tip of Defendants’ melting iceberg of falsehoods.”
THIS IS FROM THE JUDGES COURT ORDER. Goddamn, we all knew he had idiots working for him, but this is like that fat orange turd wrote it himself. It’s clearly written by somebody who has never filed or prosecuted a fucking case before. SO FUCKING SAD.
They should have taken extra steps to point out to the idiot that wrote that that there is no such thing as “the Democrat party”.
No such thing exists.
It’s a real shame that Taco doesn’t pay a very steep cost for these obviously frivolous lawsuits meant to chill free speech.
As every lawyer knows (or is presumed to know), a complaint is not a pub- lic forum for vituperation and invective — not a protected platform to rage against an adversary. A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally or the functional equivalent of the Hyde Park Speakers’ Corner.
The whole order is a deadpan roast of the sheer incompetence and insanity of the legal case that was filed in by Trump’s legal team. It really looks like Trump told them to write down the complain as he rambled it and to send it as is.
That was quick. I saw it cross my headlines this morning (Lemmy as an aggrigator is slow sometimes, and thats not a bad thing).
Looks to me like the judge took one look at it and tossed it right in the shreder.
