I was not conflating the two.

I pointed out they used copyright before and this time would use libel.

They couldn’t use libel before.

Dopey is right.

He is just acting as a disrupter.

.. Trump is a loose cannon ..

Have you watched any of Mr Trump's campaign speeches? It's common for protesters to start screaming nonsense about Trump. That tactic invariably backfires because after eight years of Obama we've learnt that those who screech the loudest have the least to say. Maybe something for you to think about.

Trump sues or threatens to sue everyone who disagrees with him. No different than Obama writing his own laws. Bullies-—both of them.

“I’m a 100% Trumpian”

And you’re complaining about a meat cleaver approach vs a scalpel? Lol.

Sorry, but what laws are you talking about?

There’s no link to anything showing up on my screen, so if you could give a link?

Thanks.

Look at all these children turning a blinds eye to facts and the words of their candidate.

They REFUSE to be told the truth of whom this dangerous man is, and instead shove their fingers in their ears and scream LA LA LA LA LA...

Very sad when someone is so beholden to any man, they refuse to even take a small critical look at who they are supporting and what exactly they believe...

If Cruz was saying this stuff, I would drop him faster than you could imagine. If Cruz was pushing extreme liberal ideologies as Trump is, my support would be lost.

But the Trump folks decided to capitulate and turn their backs on their principles. Their support was not born out of kindred, rational ideology, but emotional ANGER.

So when he has yet another viewpoint even further to the left than before, in STARK contrast to everything Americans hold dear... All they can do is have an emotional response: LA LA LA LA LA...

I had to google and found this:

Scalia apparently agreed with him.

This is nonsense.

Are you posting for dirty-trick Cruz or Hillary?

I don’t think FR goes around spouting lies - we don’t have to.

I am curious to know just what are the TRUMP LIBEL LAWS?
This has to be the first time in the history of the world that a private citizen enacted law(s).
And here I was taught the laws were enacted by governments and in this country by an elected government.
I guess my old civics teacher was wrong.
Sum a gun.

“I don’t think FR goes around spouting lies - we don’t have to.”

It doesn’t matter. What will matter is what the rich liberal who wants to sue you out of existence claims.

If only it was that simple.

We'd need a Freud or Jung to catalog the syndrome correctly but I'll wing it in their absence. There's a certain type of needy personality always desirous of influence over others. They have to be the Keeper of the Keys, the fount of knowledge and so on. They have a big online identity - mostly because their families can't stand them. These wannabe Alex Jones infest FR and similar forums not because they want to promote their chosen candidate - rather, because they want to tear down the candidates others prefer.

I'm guessing the Germans have a name for it.

Those of us that stay glued to FR all day long, and for breaks surf other sites for news, probably have some idea what you are talking about.

I’m not one of them.

Couldn’t you just post a link to what ever article you are discussing so all can have the benefit of knowing what you are talking about?

By not doing so, you comments are basically mindless ramblings.
