> John Oliver is being sued by Robert Murray, the head of a coal-based energy company and a recent subject of mockery on Oliver's Last Week Tonight. The case is set to go forward in West Virginia, where several of the companies technically suing Oliver are based. > Murray is suing Oliver and HBO for defamation for a segment on Last Week Tonight in which the host hurled a variety of insults mixed with facts alongside claims that a mine accident that killed nine people was the result of the company's practices rather than an earthquake. Murray is a particularly litigious person, having already sued the New York Times.
>III. Anyone Can Legally Say “Eat Shit, Bob!” >This case is beyond meritless. It is offensive to the very ideals of free speech embodied in the First Amendment. The fact that Plaintiffs filed this case is ridiculous enough; but, to pour gasoline on the fire, plaintiffs’ counsel has also filed a motion asking the court to make John Oliver not say mean things about him anymore. >It is frankly shocking that Plaintiffs were able to find attorneys willing to file a lawsuit that is so obviously unconstitutional. It is apt that one of Plaintiffs’ objections to the show is about a human-sized squirrell named Mr. Nutterbutter, because this case is nuts

Daniel Richardson
Hope he wins
Ethan Price
> This is bad for Oliver. Murray will enjoy home-field advantage in West Virginia despite the best efforts of the lawyers representing Oliver and HBO to move the case to federal court. How popular is John Oliver in West Virginia?
Chase Cox
>Wouldn't you love to see this little cunt squirm in court? I sure would.
Christian Robinson
removal to federal court is trivially easy.
Colton Clark
And yet his kike lawyers couldn't make it happen
Brody Sanchez
Systematically dismantling leftist propaganda, one lawsuit at a time.
Between this and Trump deputizing school officers to detain illegal kids when they show up at public schools, it's been an amazing Saturday.
Bentley Peterson
I still don't understand what's supposed to be funny about the "drumpf" meme.
Yes his family's surname spelling changed centuries ago, and?
Caleb Cook
Can't you just deport all the bongs back to their sad rainy little rock and be done with it? I've never seen anything good come out of bongs migrating to USA.
Nolan Mitchell
Burning coal is a dirty fucking business, but an enemy of my enemy is my friend for now.
Bentley Flores
I hate that smug, holier than thou faggot. I hope he goes broke and loses his show.
Oliver Ross
>Wouldn't you love to see this little cunt squirm in court
The dude's just a puppet that reads a teleprompter. I doubt he's had an original thought in years. His writers are the ones who would get hit
Bentley Parker
Not supposed to be funny. It was first used as a sleight against his German ancestry. And in the mind of every retarded leftist, germany = nazis.
Asher Hernandez
Most either have no idea he exists or they think he's a sleazy little man
Bentley Nguyen
What legal hell? Murray has exactly zero legal ground to stand on.
Angel Foster
>This is the guy that came up with the drumpf meme Huh, wasn't that the "Anonymous" ? I remember they shill all over the internet that they have something about Trump for a few days.
Aaron Mitchell
No, he's good. Oliver accused him of manslaughter via negligence through his company on TV for everyone to see. This is no doubt damaging to his reputation and his business and he has the money to fight it. John is fucked.
Jayden Perez
...
Cameron Powell
Doesn't matter. Even if he could lose the case. He could stall it and out-spend HBO. That's the point of the article, if you read it.
Kayden Sanchez
If only he could be deported to London or France.
Andrew Ortiz
Fuck, I always mistake Indonesia for Poland.
Nathaniel Ramirez
The optics on this do not look good.
Jackson James
sincere apologies for this pure cunt Ameribruvs we don't send our best
Connor Cox
Based self-made coal billionaire wrecking this faggot UK fairy's shit, it's amazing.
Oliver Taylor
I know. You gave us Piers Morgan for a few years. Until he got sent back because even (((CNN))) thought he was too much of a smug prick.
Josiah Torres
Trump loves his dad, so he mocked John Stewart for being so estranged that he changed his last name (Leibowitz) to disrespect his own dad. This remark about Jewish people hiding their ancestry really butt flustered Oliver, so he came up with Drumph.
Robert King
Well to be fair, we do have this based motherfucker somewhere. Too bad he moved on from his late night show.
Eli Allen
>It is apt that one of Plaintiffs’ objections to the show is about a human-sized squirrell named Mr. Nutterbutter, because this case is nuts
That's incredibly lame, unfunny and cringe-inducing. The ACLU usually has talented and smart lawyers. Wisecracks in a legal brief is not smart. *Dumb* and unfunny wisecracks in a brief is pathetic.
Thomas Anderson
>Jews jewing Jews So business as usual? His ratings will skyrocket
Dylan Carter
heh
Jordan Young
t. reddit Everyone knows a bunch of West Virginians are going to find him guilty for insulting coal faggot.
Zachary Foster
DRUMPF!!! xDDDD
Jack Adams
Nothing is funny about it. Trump is the anglicized version of Drumpf. An Anglo is laughing about a German-American having to change their name b/c of people like Oliver are assholes.
Jose Ramirez
so the muzzies can see his underpants
David Campbell
In the episode I'm pretty sure Jon says he's probably going to get sued for the segment and highlights the guys rediculous lawsuits in the past. I trust HBO lawyers over a trigger-happy litigants.
Caleb Cooper
But that's not what the case is about. Oliver claimed that the mine collapse was due to malpractice of the mine owners, when it was caused by an earthquake. That's libelous, and he is completed entitled to challenge it.
Jacob King
Look a the little right winger get triggered.
Easton Howard
He lies a lot. Don't settle out of court, SUE HIM FOR BILLIONS
Jason Clark
That's unfortunate. Before I watched the show I was about to invest 33 billion into the mentioned mining company. I expect that they add every cent of it to John Olivers bill.
Lucas Johnson
?
Jordan Rodriguez
It will be settled out of court. He will not lift a finger is his own defense. Sorry, the law dont work that way son
Christopher White
>HBO jews paying for his bong ass nope
Logan Diaz
I don't like how they get these people like John Oliver, Jim Jefferies, or whoever the fuck that guy is on the daily show now. These guys aren't even from here and it makes me cringe that the left is so ashamed of our country that they need foreigners to shit on it.
Cooper Torres
I doubt as much as a private energy corporation
Gavin Johnson
>your posts
Aiden Green
>stand up to business owner's threats to do the right thing >but he's a liberal, so Sup Forums wants him to get punished for speaking honestly These are the people you think are objective and want to fight the controlling state; people who'll throw anyone to the wolves as long as they've ever stood up for something against their narrative.
Nicholas Taylor
how about as much as a fortune 100 company?
Jose Long
He could be talking about improper earthquake safety regulations that the company ignored, leading to the deaths.
Carson Howard
I know, it's hilarious how they think it's some kind of airhorn meme. I haven't had the heart to tell them it's not the least bit offensive until now.
Lads, your meme is cringey.
Gavin Butler
The reason is this. They dont want the opinion of an actual american to matter in the mind of young white americans.
They want young white americans to associate white americans with white trash, nazis, hillbillies but they still want white young americans to think a certain way. So they shame their natural identity and bring in a replacement.
Justin Sullivan
It's pretty fucking pathetic isn't it? I bet if they could they'd vote in some wise ass brit to the oval office.
Jaxson King
>supporting coal Both sides in this are horrible and need to die.
Luke Turner
He makes a comedy show.
Now follow me here because I know that statement may be hard to believe, but no matter how shitty his political 'humour' may be, he has the right to say it.
Benjamin Ross
>man pisses off corporate fat-cat who benefits from the poor man's suffering >man gets sued >man retains composure and continues to mock fat-cat at all avenues, even when it is inadvisable
This guy would have been a hero to this board 4 years ago. What changed?
Aiden Rivera
Yes. They are killing national sovereign democracies because they are so brainwashed it becomes impossible to have a conversation with them. They interrupt and disrupt every established institution and political and democratic meeting. Their only argument is. You're a white male.
The point of it is so that they can move democracy to NGOs, the united nations and other globalist organisations. That way the ultra rich 0.0001% can run the world without democratic interference and the brainwashed sheep will have the luxury of being run by foreign snarky elites.
Nathan Reyes
>the right to slander
Read your Big Book of Other Countries' Laws again, Muhammed.
Levi Parker
Dude, fat cats and rich people. Humble television personality knows what's up. Be sure to tune in.
Elijah White
yes the way of the future is rule by internationalist corporate lobbyists instead of the people
In effect we are bringing a new form of oligarchy and repression worse than anything in the past all in the name of "diversity" and lowering wages.
Cooper Bailey
>muh first amendment
In my world, he would be hanging from an oak tree.
Dylan Lopez
The fact that this 'brave hero' is an insufferable cunt. I hope he gets BTFO in court.
Easton Sanchez
I get you. They're essentially making the government more powerful while consolidating the people and systematically ruining traditional cultures and identities that are not the hive mind. i think we're really on a set path -- a train on tracks. I think we're pretty much already there in a lot of ways. It scary when you realize how little power you actually have. So many people parade around as if they are foot soldiers in a political movement, but in reality they're lower than pawns, they are dust fragments in a big game run by the rothschilds and whoever his cronies are. It doesn't even matter who my president is anymore, I suppose trump somewhat supports tradition.
Charles Wood
>corproate fat cat
You mean John Oliver the multi millionaire media personality?
The man is a walking corporate product.
Adrian Wilson

Get back to rebbit
Thomas Kelly
Imagine being this cucked
Jaxon Sanchez
read hustler v falwell
Aaron Richardson
Sure Oliver has tons o' cash, but that doesn't invalidate a good troll. He got an executive so rustled that a lawsuit is happening. At the very least we have to laugh at the fucker who got rustled, too.
Joseph Martinez
Do you know what defamation means you fucking idiot
Aaron Thomas
The only real power in the modern world is finance, international corporations, international media, interest groups, political action committees, lobbyists, NGOs, think tanks, etc, basically the blood sucking parasites who leech off the productive.
You can try to stop them, but either no one will listen or, if you are even remotely successful you will get slandered
Oliver Roberts
He's a corporate stooge selling a product. Do you think he'd ever have the balls to go after an HBO corporate sponsor?
Nope. Modern leftism means sucking corporate cock while at the same time pretending to hate it.
Cooper Flores
>a Hollywood celebrity insulting coal Gee I wonder what WEST VIRGINIANS would think of that?
Andrew Miller
It's fucking depressing, but the writing is really on the wall. Why would the government really want to take our guns away and also have a giant agency that can track our movements? Quite clearly they're trying to make sure we're all kept under watch. I don't see why most people can't just call it out. I think this is the true redpill honestly.
But who do you support in a world like this in an election? Donald Trump?
Isaiah Jackson
The day of the rake has been postponed.
Jack Morris
What do we need to do to get you guys to take him back?
Kayden Flores
Nah, Sup Forums has been anti-Hollywood for as long as I've been here (5 years)
Jace Rogers
Donald Trump is opposed to it since he openly support nationalism over globalism which had become completely forbidden. You don't have a democracy or sovereignty unless you have democracy. The globalists believe they don't need your opinion which is very dangerous. The whole idea about open borders is insane because you need to learn to respect borders or boundaries if you are ever going to have peace.
Christopher Jones
>legal hell >being sued for telling jokes
FREE SPEECH THO
Elijah Cox
>But who do you support in a world like this in an election? Donald Trump?
The whole point of lobbyists, think tanks, etc is to make elections matter as little as possible. Just look at all the policy positions Trump has changed since the election.
Academia, media, finance, etc can all collude and put up pressure on Trump to say, change his opinion on withdrawing from Afghanistan, despite the fact that it's a total failure and has been a total failure for well over 15 years now.
Jayden Torres
You don't have a democracy or sovereignty unless you have nationalism.
Lucas Jenkins
Telling jokes =/= slander
Jordan Williams
John Oliver's show is the biggest load of shit. Every critique he has of anyone is "LOOK AT THESE PEOPLE MAKING MONEY PROVIDING GOODS AND SERVICES AT A COST AND NOT WANTING TO LOSE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN A LAW SUIT THAT ISNT MUCH OF THEIR FAULT!" Every. Fucking. Time. I would love to see him fry.
Bentley Green
I'm sure George Soros will send HBO some money to cover the fees
Henry Hughes
the destruction of nationalism and democracy is good for the rootless cosmopolitan, corporate elite as it makes them richer while impoverishing the working classes and returning them back to slavery.
The elite always look for a slave class to dominate, and if they can't find one they will import it. That's a major reason for mass immigration, it's not just for destroying ethnostates, it's for replacing them with obedient slaves who won't object to exploitation.
Blake Powell
>since he openly support nationalism over globalism
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Christopher Kelly
...
Parker Garcia
Gawker posted a private video against court orders and rightfully got rekt for their double standrds. John Oliver legitimately dindu nuffin in this instance and the guy whose suing him has no chance.
Cameron Fisher
Is it even true that Trumps family name was Drumpf or whatever?
Jaxson Martinez
Yes, and John Oliver is part of the globalist attack on the white american identity. This tactic used to be common knowledge that was taught in basic military training as part of defense against psychological warfare from foreign occupier. John Oliver is basically the propaganda head of a foreign occupier ridiculing and removing power from the rightful authority so that they can be replaced. In a sane country him and his producers would be put in jail or killed.
Donald Trump uses the word nationalism as something that is necessary. They have made it into a dirty word. Nationalist and nazi are basically synonymous at this point.
