FLORIDA NEWS
Several prominent conservative personalities have come out against a piece of Florida legislation that would make it easier to sue media outlets for defamation. Specifically, the bill by Rep. Alex Andrade, R-Pensacola, would assume media outlets engaged in “actual malice” if they publish false statements given to them by anonymous sources, for the purpose of defamation cases. Former Trump advisor Stephen Miller, Libs of Tik Tok personality Chaya Raichik, Jack Posobiec, have all come out against the bill and Dan Bongino has signaled support for killing the legislation.
The Florida Senate gave final approval to a bill that would permit the release of documents relating to convicted sex offender and now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein as part of a 2006 Florida grand jury investigation.

At the time, Epstein escaped with far less severe punishment relating to allegations regarding his solicitation of minors for sexual activity.

@Jack quillman:
“Why would the Russians NOT want Biden for the next four years ?”
Why would they want him is more like it when you compare him to the Putin but kissing sycophant alternative is more like it? Trump literally praises Putin and went on record saying he should ‘do whatever the hell he wants’ in regard to Nato countries, because he doesn’t care. Biden is trying to get more arms to Ukraine
In any situation, your line of questioning makes even less sense given the observed reality of the ‘source’ of impeachment ‘evidence’ has confessed to getting the story from the Russians.
If the Russians wanted Biden, why work with someone to gin up a phony story to get him impeached? You think they’re long play was to do it, then have the guy get fingered, and have the impeachment blow up in Comer and Jordan’s faces? How much sense does that make? Wow.
@Nicholas Weed –
“I, also, once had simplistic worldviews, then I turned 10.”
Good one! Man, do I feel dumb. I am not really clear how relating the reality based observation that the source of information for the impeachment was tied to Russian intellience as ‘simplistic’. What’s your take on the story?
Hey, have you bought your new pair of Trump shoes yet, or are you just not a real patriot?
DSP…

to DeepStateProvocateur : Why would the Russians NOT want Biden for the next four years ?
“Specifically, the bill by Rep. Alex Andrade, R-Pensacola, would assume media outlets engaged in “actual malice” if they publish false statements given to them by anonymous sources, for the purpose of defamation cases.”
Now this is actually pretty funny; the people complain constantly about the media don’t want accountability placed on *them*, because publishing untruths is how they get their rage clicks from their anger addicted base. As usual, a conservative is don’t like laws when it might affect them personally, and not just people they don’t like.
If Stephen Miller,Chaya Raichik, Jack Posobiec don’t like it, you know it is a step in the right direction. Keep the bill!
Hey, did any TR regulars see that the guy who was the crux of the Biden impeachment ‘evidence’ has admitted to the FBI that he lied about the whole thing and was in bed with Russian intelligence agents? What a crazy surprise! James Comer and Jim Jordan are the dumbest of the dumb and so many people took their ‘allegations’ seriously. Why ?
What do you mean our first “Cold Case Task Force”? We have always had a Cold Case Department in Law Enforcement.
Why wouldn’t you want to make it easier for private property owners to request help from law enforcement related to panhandling?
Media outlets ARE engaging in “Actual Malice” if they publish false statements given to them by anonymous sources. That is WHY they have to VET the Source AND what was told to them. This is why I have been saying Journalism is dead.
