71. The TRUTH is an affirmative defense

Sun Jan 18, 2026, 03:24 PM

against defamation, and a civil lawsuit is decided on "a preponderance of evidence" NOT on "beyond a reasonable doubt". If he thinks put his hateful face in the press MORE is going to help his case

THINK AGAIN MOTHERFUCKER!

Just like when Trump called E. Jean Carroll a "liar" for revealing that he raped her years ago, all she had to do was show, via a "preponderance of evidence" that it's likely what she said was true. If Trump had simply STFU, the story would have eventually disappeared. This guy might have to move to his wife's home country of the Philippines. Good riddance!
