He needs to do more than that. I do think a libel suit might stop the madness.

insulting and demonstrably provable lies.

I'm a little surprised you're getting such a negative response from so many other posters.

Nobody has told them that Donald Trump and the Republicans are kicking our asses.

They hold all 3 branches of government and elected Donald Trump as President.

But hey, we got Saturday Night Live.

but there is nothing wrong (or illiberal) with using the courts to push back against honest-to-god defamation.

Right-wingers will continue to spread lies and slander against Democrats so long as Democrats fail to fight back.

I greatly admire President Obama, but one of his biggest failings was his dogged belief that the American people would somehow see through all the lies and machinations of the right-wing. Now, we can all see what that got us.
