That applies to those two defendants. There may be $$$ involved as well.

AND there are still six defendants involved in the same suit.

I remember seeing the pictures. Those Trump Train assholes had trucks with huge knobby tires and would pull up alongside Biden people in cars that were following the Biden bus. Then they would scrape the side of the cars with their tires. Someone could have been killed.

Been said a thousand times since the Dominion settlement

Apologies can be part of a settlement. The settlement terms can be practically anything the 2 sides agree to, as long as the terms are legal. It is the trial verdict that can't impose terms like that. A guilty verdict imposes financial fines, but the law does not stipulate things like apologies as a penalty.

Usual disclaimers about not being a lawyer.

In this Texas case, an apology was part of the settlement, as clearly stared in the first paragraph of this article:

Yell at those repeating that false claim
Money is how they apologize is what we've been told since Dominion
Those upset with Dominion were told they were wrong to expect an apology to come from a lawsuit and that the large number showed their accountability

You said you thought apologies were not part of legal settlements. When InstantGratification said they could be, you replied that you had been hearing the opposite all week. It sounded like you were arguing that InstantGratification was wrong.

All I had to go on were the words on my screen, and that's what I responded to.

as part of a settlement since the courts would never order one.

Fox -- deep pockets -- would rather give money than an apology, so it was never likely one would be part of a settlement.

But these defendants -- not deep pockets -- almost certainly would rather give an apology in lieu of (in whole or in part) money.

I don't think Biden should bother campaigning in Texas AT ALL in 2024. The general election is going to be won or lost in the electoral college, and it's a foregone conclusion that the GOP candidate, whoever that is, will take Texas and its 38 electoral votes.

I'd rather see Biden-Harris concentrate their campaigning efforts in states where they have a real chance to make a difference in the outcome. I'll let their campaign strategists decide which states those are; I just hate to see them waste their time in states that are redder than the reddest red that ever redded.

If it weren't for the electoral fucking college, I would not feel this way, believe me.

of veiled stalking, harrassment, and intimidation after breakup in a past relationship...yeah, nothing to see here. Lots of differences, of course, but seeing how the bad behavior was brought by "just a woman" going through some things...to THE COURT under a named Federal Act

and it ran a couple of them over, because the occupants of the car felt threatened.

Now imagine the carnage a bus could do a pose of pickup trucks under similar circumstances.

Why do cooler heads always prevail on our side? Are we the only rational thinkers left on the planet? And we have to tolerate KKK style intimidation simply because they're not rational thinkers?
