January 26, 2021: Rudy Giuliani Gets Sued for Defamation

 

1/26/21: Cleanup on Aisle 45 continues. Having been slammed with a $1.3 billion lawsuit for defamation, Rudy Giuliani, says he’s ready to fight back. He calls it a “hate-filled” legal move by Dominion Voting Systems to “censor the exercise of free speech.” All he did was claim fifty times that their machines were rigged to cheat Trump out of a second term. Rudy’s case won’t be helped by the fact that the F.B.I., the Department of Justice, the cybersecurity unit at the Department of Homeland Security, and investigators for the State of Georgia all say the Dominion systems were not rigged.

The Lindell Model? Russia crushed Czechoslovakia's freedom in 1968.

ALSO HAVING a lousy month: Mike Lindell of MyPillow. Apparently, calling on a president to march troops into various states to re-run elections was not popular with other business leaders. His brand has been dropped by Bed, Bath & Beyond, Kohl’s and Wayfair. 

Mr. Pillow has apparently never heard what happens when governments gain too much power and start warping elections. Consider the “good old days” of the Soviet Union, when elections were held, but with one communist candidate for each office, running against nobody. Victory margins tended to be large, 96% of the vote going to the only person on the ticket. 

More recently, Saddam Hussein was known for clearing a path to victory by shooting political opponents.

 

Xi Jinping first came to power in China when the National People’s Congress voted 2,952-1 (with three abstentions) to make him president. Five years later a new law was passed, eliminating term limits, allowing him to serve as “President for Life.” Trump said he loved it. Complaints were muted as a result of strict government censorship of all news media and the internet. 

In Uganda, President Yoweri Museveni just won his sixth term in office after 35 years in power. At the time of the vote, his leading rival was under “effective house arrest,” say opposition leaders. 

Mr. Museveni’s officials scoffed at that terrible idea and said they were merely providing “security.” 

 

POSTSCRIPT: Just a quick note on the “censorship” of Mr. Giuliani. If Mr. G. would like to pen an editorial today and submit it to The New York Times, outlining specific examples of voter fraud, in specific locations, citing specific names of fraudulent “voters,” and then prove his accusations in court, he could do so. He could appear on Fox News or show up as a guest on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show. He could call a press conference and say that he believes Trump was the greatest president ever and the hero of all the people. He’s not being “censored.” 

He’s getting sued for “defamation.” 

If you wanted to write an editorial and claimed your neighbor was a child molester, but had no evidence? 

Yeah. Defamation. 

Expect to get your dumb ass sued.
