BREAKING: President Trump Moves for Preliminary Injunction in Lawsuit Against YouTube!
MAGA Institute ^ | 24 August 2021 | Timothy Shea

Posted on 08/24/2021 6:04:08 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

President Trump has long decried censorship by Big Tech not only of himself, but of all of us. And it isn’t just all talk. Indeed, if he were to have a personal motto, none could be better than “Acta Non Verba.” Actions, not words.

We can now report that his lawyers have filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction in the President’s lawsuit against YouTube, LLC and its CEO, Sundar Pichai. The lawsuit lists as plaintiffs President Trump and others who have been censored by YouTube.

A Motion for Preliminary Injunction is a request by a Plaintiff before trial for the court to order that Defendant be enjoined from certain conduct that Plaintiff alleges is so harmful to Plaintiff that Defendant must cease such conduct pending the trial court decision.

To obtain a preliminary injunction, Plaintiffs must show (1) that there is a substantial likelihood that Plaintiff will succeed on the merits of the claim , (2) that Plaintiff will suffer irreparable injury unless the injunction is granted, (3) that the harm from Defendant’s continued behavior outweighs any harm to Defendant that may be caused by granting the injunction, and (4) that granting the injunction is not against public policy or the public interest.

The President’s motion presents compelling arguments in support of each of these propositions and requests that the court order YouTube to stop denying him access to its platform, to reinstate his account, and to lift that ban on certain videos that were censored.

The Motion further requests that the District Court declare that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 is unconstitutional as applied to the facts of this case, as it violates the President’s First Amendment right to free speech, and to enjoin its enforcement against the President.

“Acta non Verba”

Not my President. Trump uses plenty of words. Of course, when he stops talking you are in a head of hurt.

This is basically it. Trump has a good batch of judges (relatively speaking). Either we fight now or PERMANENTLY lose. There is no tomorrow, there is no room for replacing less-than-perfect Republicans with Democrats. Fight now, or never fight again.

They are controlling our physical ammo and gold? They are controlling our encrypted and face-to-face communications?

“They are controlling our physical ammo and gold? They are controlling our encrypted and face-to-face communications?”

Encrypted, yes, that’s well known that encryption services and tech provide keys to government, and our government even set up an encryption service themselves. Face-to-face - depends if you have your phone with you, and even if not, just who are you talking to...ask the guys in Michigan whether face-to-face did them any good when half of their ‘compatriots’ ended up be informants, or even federal agents.

Ammo, better than nothing, a few may get some rounds off on their way down, may even take out some...but the other 99.99% of gun owners will comply peacefully, as the alternative gets made more and more clearly to them. Gold - would be interesting seeing how effective gold is when trying to live off the grid in a functioning society. Great to have when the SHTF scenarios, but that’s not we’re talking about. Not to sound factious, but how does one make change from a Krugerrand without using currency and if currency is around, why not just use that instead of gold?

I’m wondering if his lawyers could do an Alinsky and use their own standards against them. Tell them that if Christian web designer and Gary the baker can’t refuse business to two gay/lesbo couples then YT can’t deny President Trump service either.

That's part of the plan, no doubt, but the globalist misanthrope endgame is:

1. Flood the country with as many millions of primitive invaders as possible.

2. When there are a sufficient number of invaders, turn off the food supply.

3. Let nature take its course.

In the meantime they will enjoy the Great Reset in the safety and comfort of their New Zealand escape compounds.
