That’s not the alternative to proving it being false, that’s the alternative to it being knowingly false. You have to show all four of these things for US defamation
To prove prima facie defamation, a plaintiff must show four things: 1) a false statement purporting to be fact; 2) publication or communication of that statement to a third person; 3) fault amounting to at least negligence; and 4) damages, or some harm caused to the reputation of the person or entity who is the subject of the statement.
It’s the 3rd fault one that is the knowingly false or reckless disregard for the truth
As a result, a defamation plaintiff in an American court must prove that the allegedly defamatory statement is false and that the defendant was at fault for publishing it. “Fault,” in the case of a government official or a “public figure,” means that the defendant published the defamatory statement with “actual malice” – which means that he knew it was false or at least recklessly disregarded whether it was true or false

Maybe for other countries, but this was filed in the US where that’s not the case at all. You need it to not only show it’s false, but that the person making a false statement knew it was false be or acted with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not
The CNN report was pretty damning and with how extensively they laid out the evidence that tied Robinson was to it, it’d likely be extremely difficult to show 1) that it was false or 2) that they acted recklessly when they were pretty through
EDIT: and to clarify the “person making a false statement knew it was false be or acted with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not” is the standard for finding fault with the person making defamation when the actual malice is used (which is the case for government officials or public figures)
Right like at least be more subtle and funny in your insults you know. Meanwhile Harris saying “hope he’s okay” has so much better landing

Uh it’d be weirdest DJ set if you ask me. Have a listen to the last 30 minutes of it
Important: If you’re on the suspese list rather than being fully removed (unsure if that’s the case here), you might still be able to vote but will need to show proof of residence. Contact your registrar to check that and ask them about it
If voters find out they’re still on the suspended list after having shown up at their polling places on Election Day, they can still vote after they complete a “statement of residence” form.
Voters with suspended status who may have moved to other counties will be required to vote in the counties where they previously resided or may be asked to submit provisional ballots.

As a note to all: Check your voter registration status today as deadlines are very fast approaching (or even already past in some states)
That’s actually not the full quote. The full quote show he was not talking about any of those issues at all. He was concerned with the allies being “liberal” and “communist”
It dawned on me today… The bad guys won in WWII. There were no “good guys” in that war. The controlling interests had a jump ball. If you look closely, you see the link between liberalism and communism in the Allied forces. Remember what Gen. Patton said and why they capped him.
She co-sponsored a bill to fully legalize it in 2018. Behind closed doors she was advocating for legalizing it as VP, but Biden doesn’t support full legalization so it would’ve been a bad look for him if his VP was publicly going against him when he was still running

Vote out house republicans
Shh don’t interrupt him when he’s accidentally campaigning for harris here
Trump has already turned it down now
Let’s make sure it is. Vote, get active, get involved
More so helps motivate people to vote who otherwise migh not have done so
Note that the congressional maps don’t impact senate and presidential races* - only house and local races
See a lot of people claim it as a reason for apathy, but it’s worth remembering there’s still a lot of potentially winnable fights even in gerrymandered districts
* maine and nebraska are exceptions for presidential races due to splitting some of their electoral votes
Republicans want the entire department of education gone. It’s in project 2025, and they keep repeating it as she did right now
She then proceeded to say she was open to the idea “only if it was with the goal of phasing out the Department of Education as we tried to do through budgetary process in the first administration
They want to gut public education at the expense of anyone living in the US
Let’s make sure the ballot box reflects that. Vote, get active, and get involved. Even if you don’t live in a swing state, the down ballot races matter far more than you think
Reminder to make sure to vote in primaries and other lower turnout elections as they are more important than people realize
Primary challenges like this can determine what’s considered acceptable or not within a party. Vote in them to ensure transphobia is career ending within the democratic party
Another thing to note about him: Girdusky is also listed as one of the board of advisors of American Moment which is a group that’s listed by the Heritage Foundation as a Project 2025 partner
