Live by the sword. Die by the sword. Am I right? I’m S.E. Cupp, and this is unfiltered. Well, it’s more bad news for poor old Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and former personal lawyer to the quadruple indicted former President Donald Trump. After turning himself in in Georgia last week, on charges
Related to the effort to overturn Trump’s election loss there in 2020. Giuliani suffers another blow this week. A federal judge ruled against him in a defamation case brought by two Georgia election workers who claim they suffered emotional and reputational harm. After Giuliani made false statements accusing them of ballot tampering
After the 2020 election. Giuliani failed to provide information sought in subpoenas related to the defamation suit after he claimed he was no longer able to contest the allegation that he made false and defamatory statements about the election workers. His legal team said his actions were a Cost-Cutting measure
And not an admission of wrongdoing. And ensuing trial will determine the amount of damages for which he’ll be held liable, maybe in the millions of dollars. Now, this is rich with irony. Remember when Donald Trump, Giuliani’s favorite client, and arguably the reason he’s in so much trouble today promised in February 2016
To open up our libel laws if he became president Why, in his words. So when the New York Times writes a hit piece, which is a total disgrace, we can sue them and win money. We’re going to have people sue you like you’ve never got sued before, he said. Once he became president,
He made the threats again. Fortunately, two things stopped him from weaponizing the presidency to attack the press. For one, there’s the First Amendment, which protects freedom of the press. Thankfully, and then there’s this inconvenient fact that there’s no federal libel law that Trump could have pushed Congress
To change libel cases are based on state laws because federalism. Now, it’s no surprise Trump’s tried to shut down free speech, especially when it’s not positive toward him. But be careful what you wish for. Trump’s counter defamation suit against Eugene Carol was tossed out earlier this month by a judge
Who ruled that Trump can’t claim he was defamed when Carol said he raped her. Trump has denied all wrongdoing. Remember, Fox News had to pay Dominion voting systems a whopping $787 million to settle that defamation suit after Fox hosts made blatantly untrue statements that Dominion rigged the 2020 presidential election
In an even bigger settlement. Right wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones had to pay Sandy Hook families more than $1,000,000,000 for defaming them. Other Trump acolytes have tried to get in on the speech action. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis introduced a series of bills that would overhaul the state’s defamation laws
And make it easier for private citizens to sue the press. But after conservative media outlets complained, the legislation was shelved. Meanwhile, DeSantis is being sued by Disney for violating their First Amendment rights. It’s almost as if these characters on the right want to be the only arbiters of speech.
It’s almost as if they want their speech protected, but everyone else is shut down. It’s almost as if they don’t care about free speech at all, which almost sounds like authoritarianism. That’s it for me. See you next week.

Of course you are…lol😂😂😂
What do you cup, what weird name
SE Cupp is hot! 🥰🥰
It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt, – attributed to the bible
I'll shut up now.
Too bad that Giuliani never learned that lesson. He must have skipped that day in Sunday school.
Justice served, thank god
Facts matter in a court of law.
Does all this money actually ever get paid though? 🤔
Even if Trump could have changed the libel laws, he would be the one most harmed by it. He libels and slanders daily.
I bet the best part of her ran down her moms leg it would explain alot
PROPAGANDA TOOL.
That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
What a 5 head
This is the road that the GOP has started down. They want a white, Christian, authoritarian state. So basically they want to turn 2013 America into 1973 South Africa.
Imagine having a wall of bullets coming at you. These guys are cooked.
Is it legitimate to also refer to Bonespur as a rapist?
FAKE NEWS AGAIN!
Do a week special on a transsexual husband and his gay boyfriend president of the United States

When you speak about the law … your ignorance is featured !!!

The irony is SE Crapp who used to be a Republican and now wants to keep her job and kisses the CNN ring!
Biden has zero chance of winning a fair election against Trump. You guys better come up with some other scheme because charging him with everything under the sun isn't going to work.

Economist Steve Moore: Average Family "About $5,000 Poorer Today Than When" Biden Took Office
The irony that SE Cupp and her coworkers at CNN defamed Nick Sandman, the Covington Kid, and paid out millions. Stop acting like a moral authority
I just did a trawl of the internet SE, and as far as I could see Alex Jones still hasn't paid the Sandy Hook families a farthing of the damages money he owes them — BRING BACK DEBTOR'S PRISON! 🤬
Georgia population increased 1,024,255 from 2010 to 2020.
☆Georgia Voters increased 1.1 million from 2012 to 2020.
☆Georgia population of non-citizens is about 9.7 percent.
☆Georgia population under Eighteen years old is about 23 percent.
☆Georgia Brad Raffinberger and the Georgia Board of Elections authorized 300 unsecured illegal Dropboxes and gathered 550,000 illegal ballots.
Georgia Officials Willfully and Maliciously lied to pollwatchers to get them to leave their post.
☆Georgia hid a box of unsecured and UNSEALED ballots under a tablecloth for 8-14 hours.
Donald J TRUMP had the RIGHT to question Election 2020. DONALD J TRUMP had the DUTY to ask Brad Raffinberger to do his Job.
The appearance of wrong is wrong in itself! Running Illegal ballots through machines will give you the same illegal tally, until you remove the illegal Votes. As long as Illegal Votes remain in the Count, the Count is Illegal, Georgia!

"And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven."
"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."
