The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Over the celebratory weekend one of the MAGA idiots grabbed the microphone on stage and said (broadcast to millions) “Michelle Obama is a man.”

I am wondering if she would have grounds to sue Josh Hokit (and those directly engaged in his performance) for libel, slander, or whatever the appropriate remedy would be. I understand that as a public figure the bar is incredibly high for such a thing, but this is so clearly an open-and-shut case that I would love to see her take it on AND WIN, perhaps demonstrating to the Maggots that there are consequences for their speech hatred.

I also understand this is unlikely, as her “when they go low we go high” mantra indicates an unwillingness to confront, but I am interested in the legal possibilities, not the actual likelihood of it happening.

Thanks.
