As human right is always something given, it always in reality reduces to the right which men give, "concede," to each other.

For only society can give or concede it to them; they themselves cannot take it, or give it to themselves. |

Dominion voting systems have expanded their lawsuit and are now after 1.3 billion from Rudy.
That should be fun to watch. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/25/u...mid=tw-nytimes |

MAGA paypigs fork up the dough get nothing in return. Is it possible that one half the nation has a financial domination/humiliation fetish?

Absolutely hilarious: Mike Lindell starts ranting about his “100% proof” that Dominion Voting Systems rigged the election, and is canceled live on air by Squad-loving, Deep State-controlled pinkos at... Newsmax.

I’m not sure if this is the Kraken or the iceberg: Sidney Powell’s newest move is to get sued for libel by Smartmatic (to the tune of $2.7 billion) along with Fox News, Fox hosts, and Rudy Giuliani.
Bold strategy by the “pissed-off former federal prosecutor”! How will it work out? Time will tell. |

After Dominion, now Smartmatic. They file a $2.7 billion libel suit against Fox News, Fox hosts, Giuliani and Powell.
