What, because fucking Buzzfeed and other outlets took things out of context according to her based lawyer?


HOWARD KLEINHENDLER, ATTORNEY FOR SIDNEY POWELL, RESPONDS TO MEDIA ALLEGATIONS CONCERNING MOTION TO DISMISS FILED AGAINST DOMINION COMPLAINT

New York, New York March 23, 2021

Yesterday, several news media outlets cut and paste out of context portions of our motion to dismiss the Dominion complaint to “spin” a message that the election fraud allegations that Ms. Powell presented to various courts and to the public were not credible. I’d like to clarify what actually was presented to the court. First, let me be clear: any suggestion that “no reasonable person” would believe Ms. Powell or her comments on the election is false. The language these reports referred to is a legal standard adopted by the courts to determine whether statements qualify as opinions which are exempt from defamation liability.

As the DC Circuit reaffirmed just last week, there is no claim for defamation when the alleged “defamatory” statement is a legal opinion. Ms. Powell’s statements fall precisely into this category. Ms. Powell reviewed sworn affidavits, declarations, expert testimony, and other highly corroborated evidence concerning the election which Ms. Powell filed with the courts and shared publicly. She continues to stand by those opinions today. Our motion, in part, argues that the Dominion case should be dismissed because legal opinions are not grounds for defamation.

In sum, the legal standard of a technical legal defense crafted by the courts has been improperly manipulated by the media to tell a false narrative. Ms. Powell is not backing down or retracting her previous statements concerning Dominion. Dominion’s case lacks legal merit and should be dismissed in its entirety.

Don't just copy/paste something like that here without reference. Link the source please.

What is it supposed to have been, an 8chan circlejerk?

Maybe those involved could, oh, IDK, provide a more balanced view of the Trump presidency as opposed to just happening to fail to mention him doing a better job with the border than the dementia patient in chief, him negotiating historic peace deals between Israel and her enemies since the days of the Old Testament, and how he did a better job at standing up for the US than Biden did.

Or have you not noticed Russia and China planting their flags on the moon after sensing weakness from Biden, or Biden backing down from Putin's livestream debate challenge? Not to mention him having trouble going up stairs? How about him referring to Kamala Harris as president on more than one occasion?

You guys, what with you not working any real jobs, should be able to look these claims up and find evidence of what I'm talking about with all the time you clearly have on your hands. I don't say stuff like this unless I've seen convincing evidence, and if you don't want to do any basic research, this is just a circlejerk thread of people who have about as much self-awareness as Chris Chan, WingsOfRedemption, DarkSydePhil, LowTierGod, Etika (who screwed himself when he posted porn on his YT channel), etc..

Yeah, he sucks. They both suck big peepee. However, at the very least Biden is, well, he isn't much of anything. That's kind of why people who disliked Trump (whether for policy or his conduct) picked him. It's not like a third-party's ever gonna win.:cry:

Hopefully Biden trips into a canyon and Harris get a seat at the table. I'll take anything over another old cis-het white guy.

Or, this whole thread is a circle jerk like r/atheism and the entirety of Reddit.
Nah most of this thread is tabloid-level bullshit and Facebook boomer memes posted by Trump supporters. That's the problem with having only one major political party that has substantive policy platforms and proposals, there's nothing much to discuss.

I didn't know you had a sense of humor. Usually all of your posts come off as edgy and self-enamoring. Forgive me for not noticing how much you are willing to sacrifice.

No humor, I've seriously been waiting on that Republican healthcare plan to be unveiled since 2008. I'm sure it'll be a doozy with all this time they've been given to work on it.

Democracy in the US seemed to reach it's visual peak at the disappointment with Obama. The "race" between Clinton and Trump should have been a clear indication that America was gunning for the downward spiral. The "conspiracy theorist" in me believes that it has been the plan for Kamala to become president, but the people as a whole are destined for continual and graduating disappointment. "Nothing can be worse than Trump!" is being met with an answer. And when people say "Nothing can be worse than Biden!" they will be answered with another, further disappointing result.

I thought the curtain came down on it. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the Republican's take on healthcare "let's stop paying for the leeches and pay our own bills"?

That's not a conspiracy theory, Biden made it clear from the start he wasn't going to run for a second term. There's still no guarantee Kamala will win the primary or the general race in 2024, though.

"Nothing can be worse than Trump!" is being met with an answer.
Is that answer 55% to 60% approval ratings? It's much too early for the general public to have buyers' remorse with Biden. Maybe if he kills 500K Americans and declares himself leader of the Proud Boys that might start to change.

There is no Republican healthcare plan, aside from "private insurance company profits go brrrrr" anyway. They've presented no alternatives to Obamacare, aka Romneycare, because fixing the issues with it would cost them money.

Congratulations! You have been exposed as being someone with an attachment to a human being who isn't God, and who's exploits won't even go down as being something comparable to Zeus, Icarus, or even Buddha. Not to mention, as being racist. Not reverse racist, just racist.

You should exercise the right hemisphere of your brain. The running "theory" is that Kamala will end up president when Biden falls out during the first term. And even as people will feel their suffering is increasing, they will still buy into the media's constant accolades of her (or remain silenced), and continue to be sedated enough when the automatic election machine gets her in for another term. Elections are dead. It's a propaganda race.

You seem to be overlooking the fact that Obama mandated it into law that everyone has to be on an insurance plan. Providing people with the option of not being forced to rely on and comply with a centralized government is the alternative that everybody, anybody who isn't pro-autocracy and maybe believes in the fruits of their labor, desires. Private insurance companies benefit far more by getting forced clientele from the government vs allowing people to have actual freedom on the matter.

You should stop being such a douchebag. That's not a "theory" so much as it is a generalized guess based on Biden's perceived health. If it happens, it happens. That's what a vice president is for. She'd still be up for re-election in 2024, and she'd be judged for her own actions, not Biden's. So she would have incentive to make peoples' lives better, even if only in small ways. I have my own grudges against Harris, but we'll cross that bridge if/when we come to it.

I know he did. Like I said, Obamacare is Romneycare, it was a "compromise." A dumb one, but I think it was Lieberman or some other DINO that prevented passage of a single-payer system, which is what Obama originally wanted.

Private insurance companies benefit far more by getting forced clientele from the government vs allowing people to have actual freedom on the matter.
The current markets are comprised entirely of private insurers and we're still getting fucked in the ass on pricing. We have no public (government-run) option in the US for healthcare. Adding one would force private insurers to lower prices in response to new competition.

Well jeez. If you weren't being so obstinate in trying to ignore the "elephant in the room" then maybe we could have something genuine.

Insurance balloons the respected-care pricing the same way student loans balloon tuition and educational fees. You sure that you want more government "help" ie reinforcement?

Indeed I do, Medicare is run far more efficiently than any private insurer, so we should just have Medicare-for-all. Cut out all the leeches and middlemen, like you were saying before. While we're at it, just cancel all student debt and regulate pricing for textbooks and the like, there's a lot of scamming going on in higher education.
