Summary

Donald Trump has amended his lawsuit against CBS, doubling the damages sought to $20 billion.

He also added Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, his former White House doctor, as a co-plaintiff to keep the suit before a Trump-appointed judge in Texas.

He claims CBS deceptively edited Kamala Harris’ “60 Minutes” interview to make her appear more coherent, allegedly influencing the 2024 election and harming his Truth Social platform.

Filed in Texas, the suit alleges violations of the Lanham Act and Texas consumer protection laws.

CBS argues that the Lanham Act and Texas statute only govern commercial speech, not political or editorial speech, and has moved to dismiss the lawsuit.

    You know…

    It’s weird how mind-blowingly silent moderates are about Kamala.

    I haven’t seen a single mocking comment about if she thinks supporting a genocide is still more important than winning the election.

    Or being against healthcare reform…

    Or being pro-border wall

    Or against taxing the wealthy

    Or being pro-fracking

    Or any of the other ways she pissed off pieces of the Dem party because she wanted donations more than she wanted votes.

      She is currently irrelevant. Her only function is to be studied as an example of failure. I really don’t care how she feels and will probably never care what she thinks ever again.

      The damage is done, she has nothing left to offer me.

      Mind blowing. My mind is blown. Why aren’t people blaming Kamala for what Trump is doing? I just don’t get it.

        My point is:

        No one asks if Kamala regrets all her rightwing moves that allowed trump to beat her.

        Maybe because this is one of the few times it’s personally bad for her?

          Because no one is asking her anything. No one wants her to run again, no one is rallying behind her

          She ran as basically “generic Democrat”. She doesn’t have the ideology of Bernie, she doesn’t have the relevance of Obama or Biden, and by the end of the campaign she toned down the cutting responses that made Trump look weak and stupid - that could have at least made her part of the conversation

          She’s not being let off the hook, she’s been cut out of the picture

      You know… It’s weird how giddy the ‘progressives’ are over the dismantling of cultural norms and suppression of marginal groups who at the very least would have maintained at least a status-quo quality of life rather than being used as a token to pin every social I’ll on in a similar fashion to 1940s Germany…

      If I challenged you to send one email or make one phone call to an entertainer, politician, business leader or anyone else that can get the ear of the press to say to them that they need to use that power to speak out against Israeli genocide every time you felt the need to bring up Kamala Harris, would you do it?

      I mean she got completely crushed and her political career is basically over. She was never very popular and she bungled the election in a most moronic fashion. Not much point in kicking her anymore is there?

        Her and the DNC bungling the election is the reason why Trump is currently in office. These people are supposed to be the opposition party, remember?

          I feel like you just repeated half of my comment and then didn’t address anything I said.

            What’s there to address? I’m agreeing with your assessment of her and just disagreeing with the part about “not kicking her when she’s down” since she and the DNC leaders were what stood between us and Trump.

              Cuz that’s the whole point. My point was it’s a waste of time to kick at her cuz she’s fucking gone. She’s done she’s irrelevant. Why would I spend my time on that? The election already cooked her . Now the DNC leadership, who you’ve added to the conversation, they’re active so yeah kick on them all you want and all you can. But she ain’t even leadership. She done
