Sidney Powell tells a judge that no reasonable people would have believed her. Is this the new default defence for right wing nut jobs? No reasonable person would have believed the crap we fed them so those who swallowed the fictions hook line and sinker (and there are prominent ones on SFF) must have been morons believe , and even more moronic spread them so enthusiastically. Maybe we should call it the Tucker Carlson defence. (lawyer? ) Sidney Powell told a judge that the lawsuit Dominion Voting Systems filed against her earlier this year should be dismissed because “no reasonable person” would believe that her well-publicized comments about an international plot against former President Donald Trump were “statements of fact.” “They are repeatedly labelled ‘inherently improbable’ and even ‘impossible” the motion to dismiss continues. “Such characterizations of the allegedly defamatory statements further support defendants’ position that reasonable people would not accept such statements as fact but view them as claims that await testing the courts through the adversary process.” Powell’s legal strategy for attempting to jettison a potentially billion-dollar tag over what came be known as the “Kraken” lawsuits, claims they are not actionable because they are protected statements of political opinion. “Reasonable people understand that the ‘language of the political arena, like the language used in labor disputes … is often vituperative, abusive and inexact” her motion dismiss argues. It “ is likewise a ‘well recognized principle that political statements are inherently prone to exaggeration and hyperbole. When Powell repeated her conspiracy theories on Fox News, Fox Business Network and The Epoch Times, her lawyers claim, she was just informing the public about the ideas that she was advancing in her lawsuits. In other words Powell is saying; We fed complete lies to the knuckle draggers and the fact that they swallowed them whole just proves how ignorant our supporters are. At least Hillary Cliton claimed that SOME of them made up a Basket of deplorables - not that they were all terminally stupid . |

Which all goes to prove that you can fool some of the people all of the time -- but only if they are not 'reasonable' people.

Donald Trump loves the poorly educated. He's told us so, himself. Trump surrounded himself with idiots, sadly the poorly educated followed along, repeated, and embellished all the falsehoods. It was natural for Trump to select the crazies to speak on his behalf, had they been truthful, educated and bold enough to disagree with Trump or his policies they would not have been allowed to speak. The poorly educated are more than happy to follow along, they are not capable of looking at all the facts and putting two and two together as that would require some real thought and would produce real questions that could not be answered logically if following Trump's spewing of falsehoods - LIES.
