Well, there were the web sites etc.....however, the comment was made that nobody said Trump was literally anything. I proved that statement wrong, did I not?
Nobody of substance--and what websites? You mean the Tumblr and FB sites?
I can find stupid ppl on twitter that believe in Big Foot.

"If you don't understand that Donald Trump is literally Hitler, then you are what's wrong with this world." Now. You tell me. Has anybody ever said that Trump is literally anything?

I actually miss the old days. I always looked forward to walking outside and picking up the paper, too!

This is insanity. Then you have democrats accusing everything they don't agree with as being racist, while banning conservatives from giving speeches based on this principle. Freedom of speech has never been under more of an attack.

Yes, yes I do. You can't just say whatever you want without regard for truth. Which is what you were basically implying.

Yet no rebuttal to my point that Obama concentrated on stuff he shouldn't have?
I agree with you to a point. I wish Trump would stay off twitter, but unfortunately, that is the world today. I would guess that every President from here on out will pick up that habit, for better or.....no....for worse. Just not a good habit. however, to insinuate that Trump is the first President to respond to stuff that is none of their business is incorrect. And I think you would agree with that statement, would you not?

You're wasting your money. Again, it's pretty sad what's happened to them from an editorial standpoint. I miss reading the old version of that paper. Grabbing a copy of the Sunday edition (which was available on Saturday evenings) was entertaining.
I don't really read editorials any longer. Jarvis DeBerry at the Times-Pic broke me of that habit about 15 years ago.

I would have to ask the boss why he allowed the guy in my job to not do his job. If taken to court, I would win, too.
Look, I am not defending Trump. Merely pointing out that Obama did the same thing and I would bet that neither of you said a word. Why is it an issue now?

Absolutely you can.
You can lie all you want, you can KNOWINGLY lie, you can tell the truth about people if it destroys their careers, or even if it drives them to suicide, That's legal.
The ONLY caveat under current law is that you can be sued in civil court IF what you said can be proven to be untrue and it can be proven that you knew it was untrue AND if it can be proven that your statements caused the other party actual damages.
Without those 3 factors, libel laws don't come into play, and at no point is there any criminality involved. Perhaps there should be.

Not Editorials. (e)ditorial choices in all sections.

Unfortunately all the news we get today is one big editorial. They all color the news with their opinions and slants.
CNN, Breitbart, MSNBC, FOX, Huffington Post....and the list goes on and on. Nobody reports the facts anymore. they just report their perceptions and opinions.

Ok, so we're talking about criminal liability? All I'm asserting is that you will be open to civil liability for knowingly making false statements about a public figure and it causes them damage. That means you can't just say whatever the hell you want without concern for the truth without some kind of recourse.
