US Election Week 2020

Over on The_Donald, they seem to think that the next stage is Trump using the military to establish martial law and thus having his legal cases heard in military courts.

And then the military courts still throw out the cases for lack of evidence.

Do you have link to that Solmyr? I'd like to keep an eye on that bs.

[Eddie Teach]

Still fantasizing about having a rebellion to quash? 

[grumbler]

He actually can't.

In the sense that I wasn't being dickish, you are correct.

Valmy, your state is trying its best to outdo my Governor for terrible campaign ads.

Dan Crenshaw has a new ad for the GA Senate races targeted solely at teenage boys/GOP voters that pulls no stops when it comes to cringe: https://twitter.com/DanCrenshawTX/status/1338184981684908033

The food wrappers on the dash was a nice touch.  But what kind of self respecting (fascist) anti-fascist drives a pick up?

I'm imagining Dan Crenshaw was like, "How could I get a free parachute jump using the insane campaign funds being raised in Georgia?"

Go to thedonald.win (it's the replacement for the now banned The_Donald subreddit) and read the crazy to your heart's content.

One of the voting software companies have sent letters to Fox, OANN and NewsMax demanding they stop defaming them:

I don't know anything about US libel laws and if they could pursue this but it seemed interesting.

My understanding of cease and desist letters is they mean bupkis.

In and of themselves, this is probably true.  Their real significance is that they remove from their recipient any defense against a subsequent lawsuit that the recipient did not know they were committing a tort.

Yes - they don't really exist in the UK despite American companies occasionally firing them out quite aggressively

I was thinking if they basically serve a similar purpose as "letter before claim" here which sort of puts the recipient on notice and is the first step to litigation?

[The Minsky Moment]

C&D letters get a lot of use in IP infringement situations because - (a) recipient may truly not realize they are infringing, (b) recipient may decide to stop a use that isn't critical once a lawyer shows up and there is implicit threat of litigation, and (c) damages can be higher for willful infringement

It would be funnier if it weren't so stupid and potentially dangerous.
