Pillow-boy spread lies about a legitimate company and those lies caused serious damage to said company. Why shouldn't Dominion sue? Trump and Trump supporters did not tell the truth and the company and their employees suffered for it.

Has Dominion lost any business? What damages have they suffered?

As of yet, probably none. However the constant stream of RW BS that they are corrupt and counting Democrat votes where there are none, etc. will have a long-term effect on their ability to market themselves as a secure voting system.

Dominion's case is strong enough that Fox, OANN, AmericanThinker, and Newsmax have all backed off their claims and even made to self-chastise for utterly sloppy libelous claims. If Pillowguy, who is a public figure, keeps making these claims he's not going to do well in court.

ETA: Also, what haymatto70 said.

You should try to not listen to those voices. They are not real.

Oh sure! Make the little Atlantic provinces do all the heavy lifting while you guys sit home and drink. Good thing all the Arnie's Armaments stores are still open here.

Not so.

It seems there is some part of "I was wrong" that you overlooked. Do you need a checklist?

Biden will have a wonderful inauguration and administration. He will surely be the best two term US president in history

I hadn't seen that. But it doesn't really alter the point of my post. Even now your last two sentences are dripping with transparently obvious sarcasm.

So, again, a yes/no question that you will most likely evade as per usual:

Will there be any bombshell surprise forthcoming that will prevent Biden from occupying the Oval Office for the next four years, other than something completely unrelated to QAnon conspiracy theories - something like a health issue?

In short, is Trump still going to win this election?

Who would be launching scud or cruise missiles at DC ?

It works against aircraft or even larger drones also.

A judge in Delaware denied permission for Lin Wood to argue a case in the state. Wood is not admitted to the Delaware bar, and such permission is usually granted, but the judge cited his poor character and denied the courtesy.

Turns out there seem to be a lot more calls for sanctions against both Sidney Powell and Lin Wood that perhaps either you or I are aware of. I'm thinking of a particular denial of a preliminary injunction in which the judge specifically rebukes the lawyer, suggests that the case was filed intentionally as nothing more than a political stunt, and sua sponte contemplates referring the lawyer to the state body on professional conduct. But then there is also the Detroit request, which was made quite some time ago.

Surely he must actually understand there is no evidence. If there was, why would they wait until umpteen lawsuits have been thrown out and the other guy was about to take the big seat before showing it? It's absolutely insane.

Probably in a more literal sense than we typically mean when we say that. I get the feeling that some of these people spend so much time living in the conspiracy bubble in their heads that they actually do start to believe some of their own hype. As I've commented elsewhere, a lot of these cases are dismissed on "technicalities," (laches, standing, etc.). That can lead desperate people to believe that the evidence might actually stick of only they were were allowed to present it, or if only the corrupt judges would let it be heard.

Legally, their evidence is garbage. And Pillow Guy's lawyers would be remiss in not advising him of that before agreeing to take it to court.

While it's always a stronger case if you can show actual harm, monetary or otherwise, where your business is naturally tied to a certain form of reputation -- say, discretion in the case of personal counselor, or security and trustworthiness in the case of voting technology -- you can claim injury solely to the reputation as the result of another's reckless or malicious published untruths that directly attack or undermine that reputation.

Here it's pretty cut and dried. The imminent defendant has repeatedly published statements alleging specific acts on the part of Dominion, which, if believed, such statements would tend to damage the reputation of Dominion as a provider of secure systems for voting. Indeed, if I recall correctly, the accusations are not merely of disreputable acts. But rather Mr Lindell may be accusing Dominion of committing various criminal offenses. Accusing another party credibly of having committed a felony, without proper evidence, is always defamation, as I understand.
 
Senate Majority (for a few more days) Leader McConnell and House Minority Leader McCarthy will attend church services with President-Elect Biden tomorrow morning, declining outgoing President Trump’s invitation to his departure ceremony at Joint Base Andrews. Outgoing Vice-President Pence will not attend Trump’s going-away either. Nor will a number of other people, including those who were fired and disparaged by Trump but bizarrely invited anyway.

Trump’s invitations state that invitees can bring up to 5 guests, very unusual for events which are typically packed. But then, it’s unusual for an outgoing President to stomp off sulking rather than celebrate America’s democratic heritage of peaceful transfer of power to the winner of the election. It seems a lot of people don’t like Trump and are tired of his whining and lies about the election, and are quite happy for him to slink off without fanfare like the loser he is.

You really should read these things before you post them. This one, by the way, is all of two sentences. Is reading two sentences too much to ask? Even OANN didn't go out on that limb as far as you did.

Dominion is claiming compensatory damages of $565,000 in costs to protect its employees, $1,170,000 to respond to public misinformation and defending its systems and reputation, $200 million in estimated business losses over the next 5 years, and a minimum of $450 for the reduction in the resale value of the company. They are asking for an equal amount in punitive damages.
