Was he really 'busted' though?
I saw the headlines but haven't read the reports. Is this something that actually hurts him, or just takes his popularity with Ajax/subs types to the next level? with negative heroes, new spins on cheating get big applause. So did Trump actually just score major points for executing a big publicity stunt or is he somehow really hurt by this?
Unfortunately, to me it seems like democracy is slowly losing a war of attrition. The castle has withstood catapults and flaming arrows, but there is an inexhaustible supply of ammo. Court strike-downs and a few lawsuits are encouraging, but there is really no counterattack. It seems to me some of these clear cases of defamation, for instance, need to get crowdfunded and pursued relentlessly, and not to be satisfied with right-wing news backing off for a few days on a few stories.
