    It’s absolutely insane that this meme is supposed to be “hahaha we took your rights because you stood up to Nazis hahahaha”

    Who is eating this up without an ounce of self awareness?

    +7 Libel involving images is a form of defamation where a false photograph, video, or image (like a meme or altered photo) is published, damaging a person’s reputation, subjecting them to ridicule, or falsely implying misconduct. Key elements include the publication of a false, identifiable image that causes actual harm.

      Yup. It’s what I’ve been saying since this story broke. If you see the story on various websites that have open comments, mention that it is defamatory and very open to lawsuits, if you can.

      Let’s give this plenty of attention and take a page from Trump’s ever growing use of lawsuits to throw it back in the administration’s face.

      Ms. Armstrong needs to file a defamation lawsuit over the doctored image. She wasn’t sobbing as she was arrested. Not in the least. The “memes” will continue, is a direct statement that the White House is going to continue an official policy of lies and defaming American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

      LAWSUIT time!

          I’d go after Steven Miller’s pension or Trump Tower in NYC.
