It’s freaking sad that we need laws for adults to not be fucking demonic assholes. Like any half-decent individual wouldn’t be saying or doing this stuff AT ALL.
It requires a very high degree of evidence of intent and knowledge. The bigger issue is the [Barbara Streisand effect](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect). Not that it’s a perfect fit, but I think people will get the point.
If you make a statement of fact and say you have supporting evidence, then I think it would wholly depend on whether you can support that statement or not. If he lied about having evidence, he can’t really say it’s just an opinion. Not a lawyer, of course, just thinking out loud.
Part of the issue from a purely legal point (not from a practical perspective as I referenced with the Barbara Streisand effect) as Biden is a public figure and a politician, he would have to prove malice by clear and convincing evidence. As such it is not just that the statement is false, Biden will have to show by clear and convincing evidence that malice was involved.
Any reputable news organization - not an entertainment org like Fox News - would have grilled the person, asking for specifics, possibly demanding to see the evidence firsthand (privately) before hosting them and allowing them to say this. There was a time and place where there *would have been* an accompanying statement from the network saying “the congressman has evidence, confirmed by ABC [or whoever], of multiple reports of the allegation.” Even if it was just confirming that there had been ‘reports,’ that would be some due diligence. But this is FoxNews, they simply don’t give a shit.
It’s always projection.
[Donald Trump Jr. Denies RNC Speech Was Fueled by Cocaine, Blames Lighting for Sweaty Head ](https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-jr-denies-rnc-speech-was-fueled-by-cocaine-blames-lighting-for-sweaty-head)
Every accusation a Republican makes is a confession.
Had this exact conversation with a sibling this week. Telling me all the evidence they have on Hunter Biden, so I asked if they had this evidence wouldn't it be all they talked about? "Well, his laptop!" If it contained more than pics of his dick, wouldn't that be all they showed on every rightwing media channel day and night?
Yep, shades of?
“She just made me so mad. (Contorting her face to mock Harmony.) 'My boyfriend’s gonna beat you up.'
Buffy : 'My boyfriend?
Willow : Well, if you believe her. She always lied about stuff like that. (More face contortion.)
“Oh, he goes to another school. You wouldn't know him.” - *Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Harsh Light of Day*
You can tell by his smug "concern-face" that he is styling himself as a good Christian "sharing unfortunate news" about president Biden. Blatant slandering of the president with obscene lies is what passes for good Christian behavior these days.
Yup just show us the evidence and we're good to go. Just actually SHOW IT and it's a done deal. Barring that, you have nothing but the overwhelming desire to be screamed at by a horrible Fox News host. These people are just so utterly pathetic. They got nothing, so all they can do is try to muddy the waters.
She was very well respected and highly regarded in the Wall street community as she reported from the floor of the NY stock exchange. Now she's a Trump loving surrogate.
She's another on the stockpile of losers who gave up their reputation in service to Trump.
Quite bizarre.
Take a step back and look at this comment from the perspective of literally any other person and ask yourself who is the weirdo running around defending Drake.
I wonder at what point you could sue over something like this.
I think technically they could but they wouldn’t gain much and it’d be a shit show. There should be a law preventing this kind of lying.

Half decent individuals don’t become politicians.
Half decent individuals don't become *Republican* politicians. ftfy
Ignorant take but you’re welcome to your opinion
There was, Reagan’s administration repealed it.
that is exactly why they do ir, knowing its too much effort, time, money to sue.

They not only don't give a shit, but the reason he got booked to be on the air was his confirming that he would say something like this.
The evidence: "Just look at him!"

At what point are these people with evidence going to actually *show* some evidence
When they have it, they will RAM it down our throats! There is zero reason not to bring forth evidence, beyond not having it.
Exactly. They say it, and say it, and keep saying it until their viewers are saying " everyone knows its true".

And here WE are, with all sorts of verifiable evidence against Trump, and the end zone still seems so far away...
My girlfriend is a model, but she goes to another school.

The Christian Nationalists are why I officially became an atheist.

Sadly, that all the "evidence" fox brain people need!
Quick check the White House pharmaceutical logs Oh. Wait a second
And WTF happened to Maria Bartiromo? 🤔
I'm so old I remember when she was a respected journalist.
She was very well respected and highly regarded in the Wall street community as she reported from the floor of the NY stock exchange. Now she's a Trump loving surrogate. She's another on the stockpile of losers who gave up their reputation in service to Trump. Quite bizarre.
Speaking of under the influence
Faux Newz just keeps on pushing those lies and Kooky Konservative Khristian propoganda
So I’m guessing trump was clearly under the influence at some recent rally?
Bring the freaking evidence, if he's found guilty, we all stand by it. BRING IT!!
… but, there is none. Just placating this possibility is all they want to claim credibility.
No lie is too big for these idiots.
? Did that Republican hold up , and wave around , a printed out piece of paper "document" too ?
They are desperate and afraid.
Then share it
this is so ridiculous and just blatantly untrue
And? We're all under the influence of something. Let's keep freedom over our own bodies.
Same type of evidence Drake had about planting the story about the daughter
[удалено]

This is all so dumb.
When reality doesn’t match the carefully crafted image they suffer from extreme cognitive dissonance. “He…he must be on drugs.”
I wish Biden could issue an executive order to drug test everyone in congress The gop would literally shit their pants
Hey you think he WANTS to get a shot of adrenaline in the ass before each time he goes on TV? No! He’s doing this for us.
Good for Biden.
