Chuck C. Johnson’s Suit Against Gawker Has Really Been Filed

The nutty hack-fraud is going through with it
Humor • Views: 52,526

Today Adam Steinbaugh tweeted a screenshot to me, showing that Chuck Johnson has actually filed his lawsuit against Gawker in Missouri:

I recommend reading Steinbaugh’s post on this entirely frivolous suit, for the full flavor of its ridiculousness: Chuck Johnson Files Libel Lawsuit in Missouri for Some Reason.

Chuck C. Johnson Sues Gawker For Defecation Defamation, May Also Have Banged Sheep

Ginger-haired ass boil Chuck C. Johnson is in the news again, and thank god for some comic relief. Late last week, the chubby-cheeked leprechaun filed suit against Gawker and two of its writers, J.K. Trotter and Greg Howard, over stories published last December on Gawker and Deadspin profiling Johnson and his particular brand of “journalism.” Let us read the complaint and laugh together, again, at this terrible “human.”

And to Eclectic Cyborg’s #10…it is not a done deal. They still need a 2/3 rds vote in their state assembly.

18 Dr. Matt  Jun 22, 2015 12:42:56pm
Which brings to mind the possibility that Gawker’s lawyers could subpoena members of the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Office to testify in open court whether or not there is a file sealed away somewhere that contains the official record of a time when Chuck Johnson was arrested for fucking a sheep. Excuse us, ALLEGEDLY arrested for ALLEGEDLY fucking a sheep. Read more at wonkette.com

None. He’s convinced that he’s right, and has no idea that he’s a complete joke. The more people try to clue him in, the more entrenched his delusions become. It’s not easy being a narcissist while also being a complete failure.

Personally, I think what he’s doing is bringing this lawsuit in the hope that Gawker’s legal team will advise they settle out of court, say, for $500,000 or so.

It’s another grift. This time, he’s using the legal system.

Let’s be clear about what just happened. Nikki Haley defended the Confederate flag until it became political suicide to keep up the fight.

Bingo. And, just because I really like beating horses after their demise:

In October, 2014:

Vincent Sheheen was joined by the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor Bakari Sellers and several mayors in calling for the removal of the flag. Sheheen becomes the most prominent political voice to call for the flag’s removal.

Haley’s deputy campaign manager Rob Godfrey called Sheheen’s move, about a month before the Nov. 4 election, “desperate and irresponsible.”

No, you’ve got it wrong…It’s going to be a party. Conservatives are thrilled that it’s being removed because it was Democrats that supported slavery; Democrats that started the KKK; Democrats that opposed the CRA; and a Democrat that started flying it at the capitol.

Wait..what’s that you say? They’re pissed? You mean all that stuff about this being a Democratic albatross was bullshit?? No way!!

I’ve met a lot of people who say “I love South Carolina.” I say, where at in South Carolina were you? They answer “We were at Myrtle Beach.” I look at them and reply, Uh…You were not in South Carolina.

So from what I see she is calling for it’s removal. Does she have the power to remove it herself or is this something the SC leg would have to approve.? I feel like I remember they had a part in keeping it up to begin with.

Legally they have to vote to remove it, but there’s nothing stopping her from setting it on fire to demonstrate that she’s not one of the racist Confederates. Not holding my breath.

I believe it needs a 2/3 majority from the legislature.

The question I have is, will she get that majority? And what if she doesn’t?

Another happy speech saying ‘oh, well, we gave it our best shot?’

The heritage of a war lost. There was nothing glamorous about the CSA or its cause.

Businesses flee SC, and the state’s average IQ drops even lower than it is now.

I’m not saying the sheep story is true, but every time Chuck Johnson’s mother tells him to try counting sheep, she has to change his sheets in the morning.

So ChuckyC actually filed a lawsuit AND Trump officially filed his paperwork to run? Did Hell freeze over and no one told me?

Most countries have had at least one civil war, but they’re not proud of it. They may have statues in a park or something, but today you never see, for instance, bumper stickers in England that say, “I’m a Cavalier, kill all the Roundheads!”

I think other countries think we’re five years old.
