Sure. And if you don't present prima facie evidence of all the elements of the tort you can be sanctioned or held to an Anti-Slapp law if you live somewhere with one.

Sorry guys, she had every right to sue Trump for calling her dumb asked for her firing at ABC

No, friend. That would be a SLAPP suit and would result in her owing substantial amounts of money if she sued over these comments.

Again, you're confusing your own morality for the law. If you weren't so attached to your own bigotry, you might actually learn something about the law.

Yup. And that demand has no legal basis. It was a settlement. The only thing the court found is that it was improper to dismiss because it could be potentially proven ABC had defamed him.

No, friend. She would just end up owing money. It's the same reason why Trump can't sue me for saying he is a moron and should be in prison.

Why do you want to give Trump the power to sue people who say he is an idiot?

Can you cite the case where Trump succeeded in suing someone for calling him dumb? Please be specific in your citation.

I said she has every right to *go after you,* Rob, not that you have every right to sue. She has the same right to sue you that she does to sue Trump. She could sue either of you if she wants, but neither of you have defamed her, so what would be the point?

This is getting no where. Dude, he slandered her and asked for her firing. She has every right to sue him. End of story.

"every right to sue" is a meaningless phrase. That's the point I'm making to you. She has the right to sue you or me to. Having the right to sue someone doesn't mean that you actually have a valid case.

He didn't slander her, and if she sued it will go for her like it did for Stormy Daniels, with her owing Trump money The day you want to stop being like maga and understand why things work the way they do, let us know.

Nope. You have just as much right to sue her for being Donna Brazile. And your case would go as well as the one you want her to file.

I don’t have a bully pulpit that reaches 100’s of millions of people or the president of the United States. Sorry dude, you are wrong. Donna has every right to go after Trump. You may not like it, but she has the liberty to do so.

I mean sure. She has the right. And if her lawyers lie to the court and say they had cause to file the suit the court has every right to force her to buy Pam Bondi a yacht.

You don't, though. You already said you didn't know the elements of the tort, nor did you understand that slander and defamation aren't two separate things.

You don't. It's very clear you don't and pretending you do doesn't help you in any way shape or form To pass a MTD you need the elements of defamation. If you don't have them you can get sanctioned. If you do then you get past the MTD then people are more likely to privately settle.
