Popehat Declines

The legal gunfight between Tom Retzlaff and Jason Van Dyke continues in Texas but they also have another battle going online. Jason comments about Retzlaff on his Instagram and Retzlaff uses his blog to post articles and comments about Van Dyke. Fun! Retzlaff has been the defendant in a lot of harassment and stalking cases over the last twenty years so he’s an old pro at cyberstalking. He doesn’t let a little thing like a court case stop him from trolling. Retzlaff was declared a vexatious litigant in Texas because he kept filing frivolous lawsuits in order to harass people. … Continue reading Popehat Declines

Manafort Trial Delayed

Paul Manafort’s trial in Alexandria, Virginia, was to begin today. It’s been delayed a week, until July 31st, to give Manafort’s lawyers more time to go through tens of thousands of recently received documents entered into discovery over the past month. Considering all the evidence against Manafort, the delay seems rather pointless at this point, but one of the defense lawyers stated that documents from electronic devices belonging to Manafort’s partner, Richard Gates, were the heart of the case. Those comprise about half of the 120,000 pages received by Manafort’s lawyers over the past month. The trial in Alexandria is the … Continue reading Manafort Trial Delayed

Van Dyke Injunction Hearing Set For August 9th

After smacking down defendant, Tom Retzlaff, motions yesterday, the judge approved a hearing for Van Dyke to argue for a preliminary injunction to have the court order Retzlaff to stop interfering in Jason Van Dyke’s business. If you take into consideration previous law suits involving Retzlaff-and there are a lot, Retzlaff was declared a vexatious litigant in Texas- it’s a good bet Retzlaff will ignore any injunction issued by the court.  It’s been alleged that Retzlaff has some sort of legal game going where he harasses someone until that individual files a lawsuit against Retzlaff, which in turn allows Retzlaff … Continue reading Van Dyke Injunction Hearing Set For August 9th

Van Dyke Scores Big In Texas Trial

The lawsuit between Proud Boy, Jason Van Dyke, and internet troll, Thomas Retzlaff, had a big day today with Jason coming out on top when the court denied motions filed by Retzlaff to get the case dismissed. Retzlaff had three motions before the judge. Denied. Denied. Denied. “After reviewing the relevant pleadings and motions, the Court finds that all the motions should be denied.” —Judge Amos Mazaant Back in March, Van Dyke filed a 100 million dollar lawsuit against Retzlaff for defamation, harassment, and interfering with his livelihood. The suit was filed in district court, but Retzlaff had the case … Continue reading Van Dyke Scores Big In Texas Trial

Southern Harm; Reality Bites

You have to give Bravo credit for being masters of spin. Their Southern Charm reunion show addressed Thomas Ravenel’s absence, the sexual assault allegations against him and the #MeToo movement as if Bravo actually cared about people more than ratings.   Bravo is dealing with Ravenel like they did with Siggy. He’s out. His contract is over and he won’t be getting a new one. After the final reunion show, there’ll probably be an announcement from Ravenel that he’s decided to leave the show to deal with his legal problems and to spend more time with his family. Bravo and … Continue reading Southern Harm; Reality Bites

The Tea On Tea? It Tastes Like #VToo

People like to argue and fight. They always have, they always will. That’s really obvious when you look at social media, particularly the accounts involved in politics. But if you think the fighting between liberals and conservatives is bad, you should see the interactions between reality show fans. They are, to put it very mildly, a passionate group of people. But as seems to always be the case, some people go too far. They get too invested in their battles and cross the border between freedom of expression and harassment. For years there’s been a group of people going after … Continue reading The Tea On Tea? It Tastes Like #VToo

White House Twitter Account Crosses The Line

I don’t know who in hell was operating the @WhiteHouse Twitter account today but they might be in some trouble.  The account sent out several tweets attacking Senators Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren. The tweets were in regards to statements the Senators made about ICE, however the White House tweets made incorrect accusations and seemed more like an attempt to incite harassment than an actual attempt to communicate.  Harris and Warren aren’t the only people on Capitol Hill who’ve called for ICE to be investigated or disbanded recently, so it’s strange that they were the only ones singled out. One … Continue reading White House Twitter Account Crosses The Line

4th Of July Delayed By Civil War

    Alex Jones has leaked that Democrats will begin a civil war on the 4th of July, so adjust your holiday plans accordingly. Alex has been announcing the imminent outbreak of civil war every other month since Trump took office. It’s an asinine claim but Alex is getting sued by the brother of Seth Rich so he needs to keep his ratings up to bring in the money. Creating panic amongst his fans keeps them coming back for updates and gets them to buy survival items from his store on infowars. His latest civil war tweet got a lot … Continue reading 4th Of July Delayed By Civil War
