    It takes too much time and resources. A lie runs halfway around the world before the truth laces up it’s shoes.

    Manipulators and liars need to be stopped by a higher authority. I’m fine with that authority being civil liability, the criminal justice system obviously sucks at it. Let’s get serious and stop letting this stochastic terrorism go unpunished.

    Lose your dad to Fox News conspiracies? Should be able to sue Fox News for child support. Lose your husband to a mass shooting caused by some deranged Trumper that thinks Paul Pelosi is coming to take our guns? Should be able to sue trump personally for wrongful death. It’s not like Fox and Trump don’t know what the consequences are.

    Let juries be the arbiters.

    This problem isn’t going to be solved without financial liability or violence.
