Some members of congress think that are "above the law" in the same way that the president is. They aren't though.How is having a metal detector unconstitutional and dangerous for senators/house members exactly?
Same.
Boebert's mother, Shawn Bentz, did not respond to a Facebook message asking for comment about her daughter's first week in office. Bentz, who is an open supporter of QAnon on social media, went to Washington with Boebert for her swearing in ceremony. She was pictured with Boebert at that ceremony and mentioned that she had gone on detailed tours of the Capitol buildings with her daughter. She was staying with Boebert in her D.C. apartment that first week, according to her social media posts.
Same.
Seen a few "face comparisons" go wrong in my day.
But she did claim in the media she was given a tour of the capitol building by her daughter.
Lauren Boebert vowed to shake things up in Congress. She has delivered in her first week.
As she barnstormed across the 3rd Congressional District last year with a pistol on her hip and a steady stream of Democrat-aimed insults rolling off her tongue, Lauren Boebert promised to make a big, loud splash in the nation’s capital if voters sent her to Congress.

Sued for money for an accusation lolThat's a stupid accusation to make like that and he deserves to get sued for a ton of money if he's wrong.
I can't tell if you're serious or you're just ignorant about slander and defamation.
He didn't even make an accusation. He just said some dramatic things while re-tweeting.I can't tell if you're serious or you're just ignorant about slander and defamation.
Not Keith, the person who he linked to. What Keith is doing is also incredibly stupid and potentially dangerous as well. It's why mods here ban people for conducting their own investigations with zero actual evidence.He didn't even make an accusation. He just said some dramatic things while re-tweeting.
Olbermann has done far worse and not gotten sued.
And in the US slander and defamation cases are incredibly rare/tough to do anything with in the first place.
Slander cases are way harder to win than libel. You have to prove the statement was false, prove you suffered from damages and prove the statement was unprivileged. Oh, and since he's a public official, he would also have to prove actual malice behind the statement.I can't tell if you're serious or you're just ignorant about slander and defamation.
That's.... not how any of this works. If it was Biden could literally sue half of twitter successfully. Reason mods don't do sleuthing is because that causes a cesspool of bad behavior and hunting people down.Not Keith, the person who he linked to. What Keith is doing is also incredibly stupid and potentially dangerous as well. It's why mods here ban people for conducting their own investigations with zero actual evidence.

That person is making an accusation without proof. That's just stupid. Let the authorities do it.

Yet still not slander or lawsuit worthyThat person is making an accusation without proof. That's just stupid. Let the authorities do it.
I mean, I'm not thinking much of that internet sleuther's comparison till we get hard evidence. But there's no legal avenue against someone tweeting stuff like that. I mean, spurious lawsuits are an option. Just ask Devin Nunes' cow. But those lawsuits have no basis and wouldn't survive a court room.That person is making an accusation without proof. That's just stupid. Let the authorities do it.
Oh you said "he"; it says "she/her" in the profile of the accuser.Not Keith, the person who he linked to. What Keith is doing is also incredibly stupid and potentially dangerous as well. It's why mods here ban people for conducting their own investigations with zero actual evidence.
Of course it is.
It's not. No one is going to win a slander case against a random ass tweet from a private citizen.
Can you find a case where a libel/slander suit was effective based on internet sleuthing in a tweet with no direct harassment? No? I can tell you, it's not because that doesn't happen.
So submit it without posting it to Twitter. The hell is wrong with some people.
This actually makes a lot of sense to me since the first time I saw that video, I swore her look and voice reminded me of Boebert herself. But then I thought to myself that that was impossible for obvious reasons...
Yeah, just accused her of leading a coup against the United States.
You could say she leads a secret cabal to harvest adrenochrome from abducted children and it would not be something she could successfully sue over.Yeah, just accused her of leading a coup against the United States.
They'd sooner die than sue for libel over a false accusation of a coup because that means admitting it was a coup.Yeah, just accused her of leading a coup against the United States.
This is your second attempt at quoting the same post and you're still just as wrong. How about replying to one of the 10 posts detailing the reasons you are wrong?Yeah, just accused her of leading a coup against the United States.
There's some people talking about her voice in the twitter thread; she's been on video several times and they are linked.This actually makes a lot of sense to me since the first time I saw that video, I swore her look and voice reminded me of Boebert herself. But then I thought to myself that that was impossible for obvious reasons...
If it actually turns out to be her mother... lol
You ever hear of a guy named Richard Jewell? Google him.
Imagine coming into this thread and giving a single fuck about what the sedition trash is being accused of.
The accusation isnt just that she was there. It's that she was on the bullhorn directing people on how to take the capitol building using inside information of the layout inside. Speaking of not knowing what you're talking about.Or instead of backing down when it's possible you don't know what you're talking about, just double down!
The "accusation" is that her mother was there. That's it. It's not anything you can be sued for saying
That was a private citizen suing corporations, not a private citizen being sued for defamation. Also he (or rather his family) lost the only case that wasn't settled out of court. So it's actually evidence contrary to your point.
TIL Metal Detectors (which are in every federal building) are communist now.
