That’s not true. You don’t have to ask someone to stop committing defamation before suing them for defamation.

Does it count as a tell when it’s irrelevant? Everything Trump says is a lie. You can tell he’s lying because his lips are moving. The addition of the word “Sir” doesn’t change anything.

No, it’s Newnew.

Or… well, on the ship itself it’s spelled New New, which is a lot saner and funnier than Newnew.

It’s currently the Ameican right, not the American left, defending Israel. And only Americans think “libtard” is a word.

What, even the ones predating locomotives?

Equating Israelis with Jews is, itself, anti-Semitic.

Communism is a hell of a drug.

Not an amendment.
