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.

    Absolute gold right here:

    her habit of uttering ‘word salads’ — i.e., jumbles of exceptionally incoherent speech…"

    Is this projection or is he too dumb to understand what she says?

      Fascists accuse their enemy of what they are doing so when the tables are turned they call petty retaliation regardless of reality.

      I mean, it would take a fair amount of cognitive dissonance to suggest Kamala does not speak in word salads a lot of the time. She’s a terrible speaker

        Not from what I’ve seen.

        Fuck off with your pro-MAGA bullshit. This isn’t YouTube; we’re not falling for it.

          Hate to break it to you but it’s the politicians job to communicate and be understood,

          It’s interesting that y’all are unable to even see obvious facts about the loser dem candidate,

          Kamala is a shitty public speaker…. She just is. Obama, for example, is probably one of the best public speakers / presidential orators in our lifetime….

          Trump can’t even form complete sentences…

          But on the scale of good speakers versus bad speakers, Kamala is a shitty public speaker. It’s laughable to suggest otherwise.

            It might be their job to be understood but that does not mean that when someone cannot understand the politician that it is always the politician’s fault. Sometimes the person listening has the problem.

              This is an echo chamber for blue MAGA I don’t really care. Keep believing your false narrative I suppose you do you

                Is it that hard for you to accept that your opinion isn’t factual and I disagree with you about Harris’ speaking skills?

              Anyway, keep crying about maga I guess… don’t look inwards to understand why the shitty dem candidate lost. It’s definitely the independent and progressives fault. And besides, everyone who disagrees with you is a fascist and a racist.

              I don’t need an excuse to point out the obvious fact that Kamala Harris is a terrible orator who can’t talk her way out of a cardboard box if it’s not a rehearsed talking point on a teleprompter. She’s looks genuinely uncomfortable when speaking in public. If you can’t see it and you think that makes me a maga you need to get some new glasses lol. You drank way too much blue no matter who kool aid.

                If it’s so obvious, why are you unable to provide a single example?

              You can ad hominem attack me all you want but shitty democrat candidate with shitty policy’s lost the election.

              And blaming the voters for your shitty candidate losing instead of the shitty candidate is going to be another losing strategy.

                That’s not an ad hominem. Your ability to follow her speech is directly relevant to your perception that she is unskilled at speaking. I am directly addressing a flaw in your thinking and that isn’t an example of ad hominem as in this case it is germane to the topic at hand.

                This is no different than me saying Macron was a bad speaker and you pointing out my belief that he’s a bad speaker might have something to do with the fact that Im not a french speaker. Neither is an example of ad hominem
