Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

There's no way they can permanently prohibit him from lying, but they can permanently get paid each time he does.
Ignoring a court order can lead to jail time. Not enough for being part of an attempted coup, but I'll take any of these assholes getting any time in jail at this point.
Dude will be 80 next year, likely ANY jail time is a death sentence.
My plan for when I am in my 70s is to not be a traitorous lying sack of shit so I won't get thrown in jail and die there. That fucker has been dodging consequences for decades.
My plan for when I'm 70 is to die in the water riots. Or possibly shot dead by Google Amazon compliance agents for using an adblocker.
It's good to have solid plans like this!
Uh... Good?

Not a problem here unless they start breaking our rules too.
Lol
He'd play the "too sick for jail" card and show up to court with an oxygen tank
Didn't work for Harvey Weinstein. Fuck him.
Lol I remember Weinstein and his Walker with tennis balls on the feet
"He's not sick! His black fluid has probably just leaked out of his head again. Dump some 10-W30 in his ear and haul him away!"
Except he wouldn't be wearing a nasal cannula or oxygen mask, because it would smudge the caked-on orange shit he smears on his face.
Right now I'd settle to see Rudy in an orange jump suit because of these lies while going to court in Georgia
No judge is going to issue a civil court order restricting someone's speech in perpetuity (and if they did, the judge would end up in hot water). That's just not what they're for.
I'm just imagining a court-appointed accountant sitting next to him with one of those ticker devices, clicking it over and over again
With the closest side of the dude drenched in cheap hair dye and flop sweat.
I'm curious what remedy there is for someone defaming you that's broke. Imagine Rudy getting sued into bankruptcy. On paper, he could have no assets and no income but mooching off the rich fucks still shielding him. What's to stop him from defaming people then?
Jail?
We did away with debtor's prisons long ago.
I think you could jail him still for the original offense and not have it be a debt issue. The court finds him guilty for defamation, but he has no assets to sell, so he's sentenced to jail time instead.
Jail him for defamation, I'm sure it can carry a sentence, but not because he can't pay. We're back to debtor's prisons in that case.
Since Rudy is such a proponent perhaps Trial by Combat? Ruby vs Rudy cage match.
Match him right and maybe it could be like The Viper and the Mountain.
Rudy vs Alex
That’s called being “judgement proof”. It’s not an established legal thing, but it’s something lawyers will jokingly refer to. Because they know that even if they successfully get a judgement against the offender, there’s zero chance of actually collecting the judgement. No assets and no income? Good luck collecting on that million dollar judgement, because the court’s actual methods of recourse are limited.
You could potentially put a lien on their assets, so you claim the value if they ever sell. But if they have no assets, there’s nothing to put a lien on. You could potentially garnish their wages. But if they have no income, there’s nothing to garnish.
Honestly at this point with Rudy, seize and sell the fucking clothes off his back and the pen in his pocket. Throw him in an orange jumpsuit and off to jail with him after that.
There are a few ways, bit of line and a hook or needle, stapler, sharp knife, pliers, and a bowl.
I can think of one but I'm told it's not legal
