IANAL (goes without saying, I guess)
If the city of Springfield can document damages resulting from Vance's lies, then the city should definitely try to recoup their expenses. But from Vance personally, not the campaign org. The organization will be shut down by mid November and Springfield isn't going to get a ruling before then. Besides, are we sure whether the campaign organization is even responsible for what unvetted shit a candidate spews?
Could this be a class action? I mean the city had OT to the police, but individuals had to miss work, kids missed school, and many other people were terrified. IDK but this smells like punitive damages.
Legal Eagle should do a take on this.
Update: IDK wtf happened. I thought I was in the Trump golf course assassination attempt post in this community. I had even read the summary in the post before commenting. Maybe it's an error with my client, maybe it's user error. Anyway, I'm sorry for the confusion.
I know that this is beside the point but it probably wasn't an AK47. AK47s are kinda rare. It was probably a Kalashnikov style riffle. https://youtube.com/watch?v=L_PR1OdS754
Oh I totally think you're right in applying Hanlon's razor here. The opposite would spell doom.
But sometimes you've got to wonder how incompetent can they be. And at those times "they're not babbling buffoons, it's a clever ruse" seems a plausible explanation. I mean Trump parading his mistress on the campaign trail, what the actual fuck?
Or, and I know it's going to sound like a conspiracy theory, Trump picked JD because JD is so weird, and he knew that JD would tank. So when Trump drops JD it'll give him a boost, like the one the democrats got when Biden dropped out. Trump has repeatedly kept lowering people's expectations, to the point that if he somehow managed to put the round peg in the round hole, it would be a success. So imagine the boost Trump would get, for making the obvious decision to drop JD.
But that plan requires that Trump is able to play the long game, and stay quiet about it. Two things we know isn't plausible.
Imagine thinking you got Lemmy by suggesting that Vietnam should have counter invaded America
Demonetization s*cks. I was just about to get a rescue yacht for my staff's yacht and then boom my most profitable lemmy comments got demonetized.
