When people start going to jail for these things or losing all their money, maybe this will stop

But can’t he be sued for libel? Can’t he be held accountable for anything here? Please excuse me I’m just frustrated.

have to prove damages in a court of law. If he could prove that Nick caused him to lose the gubernatorial election...well, that won't work because he made the decision not to run for a third term.

Really disappointed at how weak Tim Walz is to pull back his Senate efforts following a proven lie by rightwing saboteurs. Why do Democrats always fold and allow the Republicans to get away this crap?

Personally I dislike anyone serving more than 2 terms as a Governor (or Senator) anyway, so I am biased. A fresh perspective may be what people prefer.

Then amplify it a thousand fold to another million idiots who will also believe anything?

I'm sure it would please the court to receive a Complaint that begins, "Comes now the Plaintiff who states, we're literally surrounded by imbeciles, and those imbeciles are surrounded by morons."

Good luck.
