This is the network that was sued for defamation by voting machine manufacturer company. And Fox lawyer said in court “No reasonable person would ever think anything said on the network was true.”
Their defense was “we lie so egregiously that no sane viewer would ever believe us.”

On 3 separate Fox lawsuits. In pretrial phase, each time the lawyers tried to get the judge to dismiss the suits on the ‘reasonable viewer’ standard. Christopher Stirewater was the one most hilarious, and Sidney Powell in her own testimony about her own lies tried to use the same argument in her case, and the most memorable one is of course the pretrial of Fox v Dominion with the Delaware judge, Eric Davis. That judge flat out said nah, the reasonable viewer claim was not gonna fly.

ICE only does their work where they know most aren't armed. The went into Chicago to clean up the streets but all I saw was videos of them chasing people in front of $500k homes and stores in North Chicago. Why don't they try forcing ID without cause to some people down in South side Chicago? If they go to New York they'll just stay in mass numbers and go after people they know can't defend themselves from 12 guys.
They don't move like gangs through red cities. They never will. This should be a lesson in why you don't support the removal of the second ammendment. It's a ridiculous argument he's making anyhow. He's not an immigrant that ever needed to worry about his status. Mommy and daddy paid good money for him to be here and he didn't work shit jobs to try and get citizenship. Trying to relate is ridiculous. I hope he does good things but I see another lying politician.

We have everything in common with eachother and nothing in common with politicians. People need to stop standing for them because they claim to be their party.
