Sarah Palin loses defamation trial over N.Y. Times editorial — again - The Washington Post

On Tuesday afternoon, after a week-long trial, a jury in Manhattan courtroom needed only two hours to reach a verdict, finding that the Times did not act with "actual malice," the legal standard that high-profile defamation plaintiffs like public officials and celebrities need to prove to prevail in court...

Sarah Palin election: the absurd fraud at an Alaska Republican cook-off has a lesson.

…He views Palin as a "Johnny-come-lately," he said, someone who abandoned Alaska politics for the better part of a decade, only to make an opportunistic return when Young's death left the congressional seat open. "I don't know where Sarah Palin's been," he said. "She's referred to the Republican Party as the corrupt bastards and the good old boys' club. It was back when she was around. Where has she been in 10 years? There are several hundred of us who have reformed the Alaska Republican Party. We needed help. I needed help."…

Sarah Palin LOSES! A Win for Ranked Choice? (Opening Arguments podcast OA628)

It’s a situation as confusing as it is incredible – Sarah Palin, who won an open primary for the AK House Seat, has LOST. The Democrat, Mary Peltola, despite coming in LAST in the primary, has WON! How did this happen? Ranked choice voting! But is that good? Does this make sense? Imagine if this were the Democratic equivalent, would we be happy? Or would it not happen? 

Then, Better Call Saul is being sued by a tax company that is virtually identical to the dirtbag one portrayed in the show. Is the lawsuit credible?

MTG DAO NGMI; and Why Palin v. NYT is Not Over (Opening Arguments podcast OA571)

If you don’t understand the first part of the title, you’re not alone! There was a delightful dust up between Wizards of the Coast and something called a DAO over Magic the Gathering. It turns out you’re not just allowed to profit off of other people’s IP? Cryto bros were very surprised to learn this. Andrew decodes it for us. Then, we finally get a thorough breakdown of what happened in the Palin v. NYT case. You may have heard it was dismissed, but it may not be over yet! It’s a weird story with a lot of twists and turns.

She also said "America was dedicated to God" and said the US left was attempting to "fundamentally transform the nation that does belong to God".

Ted Lieu refuses to play along with another pretend moment of concern—and that concerns Sarah Palin

With all the publicity over Election Day, it was easy to miss Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu making a quiet, but bold, statement about a quiet, but pointless, gesture. A Democratic lawmaker walked out of a moment of silence for the Texas shooting victims on Monday night to protest a lack of action on gun safety after mass shootings in the United States.....

Salon: Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity and Republicans in general have become Julian Assange fans and CIA doubters

It seems that hatred of Hillary Clinton can unite conservative Republicans such as Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, the man whose website posted thousands of Clinton emails in the months leading up to the November elections.

When discussing the Joint Analysis Report that claimed to prove Russia was responsible for the hacking, Assange said that "on the top, there is a disclaimer saying nothing — there is no guarantee that any of this information is accurate."...

'Republicans oppose this, remember?': Sarah Palin slams Trump for 'crony capitalism' Carrier deal

Sarah Palin criticized President-elect Donald Trump on Friday for a deal he struck with Carrier this week, condemning it as "crony capitalism."

In an op-ed for the Young Conservatives website, Palin wrote that Republicans oppose the kind of government deal making Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence made with the company to keep approximately 1,100 jobs at an Indianapolis plant from migrating to Mexico, joining in with a chorus of conservatives who have said it violates free market principles....

6 Despicable Right-Wing Moments This Week: McCain and Palin Race Trump to the Bottom

It has been hard—one would have thought impossible—to eclipse the sadness and outrage in the aftermath of the Orlando slaughter. And yet, a posse of craven, opportunistic Republican politicians, Fox Newsians and washed-up, Trump-supporting celebrities have managed to quickly hit new depths of depravity and cruelty. And they have done it with glee, without even waiting for the dead to be identified, let alone buried.

Of course, we should have known Trump would shock us all over again, even though we have tried to learn never to be shocked by his vileness and his enthusiasm for slinging the slimiest of mud. He did. Then he was joined by the so-called pillar of reason and respectability, the grownup in the Republican room, Sen. John McCain. McCain happily echoed Trump’s insinuation outright, that President Obama—rather than firearms—is to blame....

Scientists Aren’t Just ‘F*cking With You’: Jimmy Kimmel Takes On Sarah Palin’s Climate Denial

On Monday evening’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the ABC late-night host tackled something that isn’t in your average topical monologue: the scientific consensus on climate change. And he made a video featuring real climate scientists responding to climate denial in a fashion one doesn’t see in the National Academy of Sciences.

The catalyst involved a climate denier-produced movie, “Climate Hustle,” which has been called “amateurish” and “not very watchable.” Specifically what Kimmel seized on were comments former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin gave last month while promoting the movie....
