"Substantial truth" has nothing to do with the horse shite the leftist assholes were saying about these kids.

They’ll get nuisance value and possibly cost of defense.

I’ve been wanting to have an over/under thread to get folks on record but no one ever wants to participate

It gets complicated because I’m sure that lawyer will sue everyone with a blue check so you may have 50 defendants coughing up $50k costs of defense, but I’d be shocked if any one defendant paid more than $100k or so

What do I think he means when he said gist?

That the gist (substance) of the stories put out by the WAPO were full of shite.

Because, like, that’s what, like, the word gist, like, means.

$10 million. And it will be hilarious to watch the Post have him sign an NDA after they floated Muh Stormy for so long.

I'm hoping they bend the Post over a rock but let's take a deep breath here. Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world. He can afford to hire a locust plague of attorneys to fight this.

How has he been damaged economically or emotionally?


If I had reporters and celebrities telling hundreds of thousands of twitter followers of unknown mental capacity, to find me and punch me in the face, for no reason, there might be a period of time that I might be emotionally unsettled.

Every case will be settled for an undisclosed amount, depending on the threat to personal safety or defamation of personal character presented in the blog, tweet, or article multiplied by the number of individuals with the capability to receive the message. Say $500 if I tweeted "Find Mr. Sandmann and cut off his penis" or "Mr. Sandmann is a real piece of shite" X 10,000 followers = $5,000,000
That is a fair remedy.

If I was Nick, If bankrupt TF out of all these networks and celebs and then after I took my cut, set up college funds exclusively for white males.

Let all those assholes know that their earnings are sending more whiteys to school.
