I'll go out on a limb here and say that Trump, kind of state department, has taken the odd person to court. 

 

Everybody deserves protection under the law. Especially from people online who confuse free speech with libel. 

Point taken, but when the libel laws, or defamation laws, are used simply to silence criticism, then the case is altered. And of course, it takes wealth and influence to bring these cases. And all that has to be proven is reputational damage. I ask you! Mum, he looked at me! Oh for heaven's sake grow up!

Who is really right or wrong?  It smells nevertheless!   One day I read GPO,  a Government agency announced they can't sign a contract with Moderna to finalize shipment because they don't have the money?  Never heard of any government anywhere not having money especially this one reason why the private hospitals need to register and obtain upfront money prior! 

 

What a mess!
