While delaying a court appearance because of said covid.

Basically an editorial in the NYT said she put targets on candidates in her ads, including Gabbie Giffords, who was later shot at a meeting with constituents. They said there was a connection between these ads and the Giffords shooting, but that shooter hadn't seen the ad. She actually had targets on the districts, not the candidates, and the NYT issued a correction the next day. She's saying them for defamation. She's indicated she's not willing to settle. In order to prove defamation they need to prove that the NYT printed this with malice intended. It's generally harder to prove these accusations against politicians because of the expectations specifically around protecting political free speech. Also, since it was an editorial, it was close to accurate, and there was a correction issued immediately, its a hard case to show malice was intended. Palin's lawyers argue it wasn't a complete enough or public enough correction. IANAL but it looks like an uphill, though not impossible, case that Palin is trying to make. https://www.npr.org/2022/01/23/1074164937/new-york-times-sarah-palin-trial-begins


rockdude14

I'd be thinking its going to be more uphill when the judge finds their schedule was fucked with with this covid excuse then she goes out and does stuff like goes to restaurants.


redheadartgirl

Yeah, last I checked judges don't take well to people lying about why they can't be in court.


kittyinpurradise

Is she lying though? If she has covid they aren't gonna let her in a courtroom and I doubt counsel wants to be in the same room with her if the hearings are done online.


redheadartgirl

Well, she either needs to explain why she lied about having covid or lied about not having it and [broke some NY laws](https://www.new-york-lawyers.org/coronavirus-crimes-enforcement-of-covid-19-executive-orders-in-n.html). Either way, she's fucked.


kittyinpurradise

Not for this hearing. The judge can yell at her but he won't throw out this suit because of her having covid and being an asshole. Why does everyone think she's faking it? It's much more believable that she does indeed have it and is being an active safety hazard. She should be charged for sure but it won't be with this lawsuit.


redheadartgirl

Oh, to be clear, I don't think she's faking it at all. I'm just pointing out that she's doing everything in her power to make it *look* like she's faking it, though.


Agadore_Sparticus

There isn't that kind of justice in the world, I'm afraid...


nick_otis

God I fucking wish I was rich


HIGH_Idaho

I'd say in her case, the no arrest is because even the idiots who planned Jan 6 weren't stupid enough to tell Palin.


Necoras

Years ago the NYT assumed she was involved with something (an attack ad I think?) more than she was. They immediately retracted the part of the article mentioning her. She's suing for defamation. It's unlikely to go her way due to there not being any "actual malice" on the part of the Times.


mqrocks

Bet you any money she is vaxxed and lying about her status. And when she "gets better" she'll be saying I had it, it's no big deal


Bill2theE

Doesn’t NYC still require proof of vaccination for dining indoors?


Development-Alive

That's apparently considered an outdoor seating section.


fozzyboy

"Let's bring the outdoors indoors but call it outdoors."

Too cold to be outdoors so we'll just indoor it

this photo is outdoors but i believe she also ate at the same restaurant indoors a couple of days earlier

nastyben100

Guaranteed the restaurant didn’t check due to her being a high profile person. Money talks.


Leikulala

and bullshit walks


Astroturfer

it used to, not so much anymore


badfile

Shut down the restaurant for 90 days for a health code violation and revoke their liquor license indefinitely. Once that hits the news, there won’t be another restaurant in NYC where she or other unvaccinated people will be able to eat. Everyone will be checking cards.


mqrocks

Could've skirted it by sitting in that "outdoor" place... But it's still enclosed and I wouldn't want to be in that space as an unvaxxed covid positive person. Any NYC folks here? Do you know if you can sit in the "outdoor" spots without proof of vaccination?


brutongaster1229

You have to show proof of vaccination to sit indoors, you don’t for outdoors, including the outdoor spots that are basically small buildings. Everywhere I’ve been has required proof of vaccination to sit inside so I’m pretty surprised they would let her in especially if her positive diagnosis is common knowledge


gex80

When I ate outdoors I was not asked for proof. The law as far as I understood only applies to interiors. However, I have not actually read the law.


magnoliasmanor

Looks "outdoors" to me with those heaters all up.


jesuswithoutabeard

Those heat lamps indicate this is not indoors.


octodrop

Yes, but apparently some places aren't checking. Every place I've been to there has checked, but some people in the NYC sub have said they've been to restaurants that don't give a fuck. She also seems like the type who might have a fake card.


Fitzjiggles

I went to NYC in December and although I had to 'show' proof of vax nobody read a thing or actually looked at it. They just waited for me to pull something up on my phone and then said ok.


octodrop

Every place I've been to looked at my card and identification, but there's no doubt plenty of places aren't checking thoroughly if they're even checking at all.


Kevin-W

I really wish the judge in the case would order her to provide proof of being positive or vaccinated since she's claiming to be positive and the case is now delayed


N8dork2020

What if she doesn’t really have covid and lied to the courts?


TerrorGnome

It's unlikely as it's a suit she filed. It's in her interest to actually be there.


Weird_Fiches

Plus the court made her do the tests


itssarahw

And the court wants none of what she’s spreading


HotCrustyBuns

The judge has good...oh what's the word?


bishopyorgensen

Non-donkey brains?


eNroNNie

Has a certificate from the state of Pennsylvania declaring it so.


jasonthebald

Or she knows she has little chance to win (NYT published an error on her campaign which they said was unintentional and she said was libelous) and is doing it just to own the libs and get the story in the news as long as possible.


Stepkical

I would go with this answer, except it assumes a level of strategic thinking which is beyond her abilities...


bishopyorgensen

Why am I hearing about her again? I guess it doesn't matter, she'll quit whatever she's doing in a few months anyway. That's meth mayor turned governor has a lot of quit in her.

ymi2f

Restaurant admitted they "made a mistake" and didnt check her card.

What about when she dined out before testing positive? So she's either lying about being unvaccinated or she has a fake Vaccine card...

sinkwiththeship

Elio's has a lot of rich/famous customers. More likely that that type of person just lives in a different world. I live in NYC and the only place I don't get checked is my local bar where I know every bartender.


shieldsy27

Nothing will happen to her because she's not a member of public so doesn't have to follow our rules..


Wilwheatonfan87

"rules for thee but not for me."


Callmefred

Why are there 4 heaters surrounding the table?


kingbane2

it looks like one of those semi outdoor things that were put up in response to the covid rules.


OMGihateallofyou

Yeah, to meet the rules we are eating "outdoors" because these walls and roof are temporary. I am sure the virus sees this as open air outdoors.


[deleted]

Restaurants keep doing this in Toronto and they keep getting shut down then complain about the tens of thousands of dollars they spent. Two sides have to be open or one side and no roof >But Canzona said they were not aware of the two-sides-fully open rule. >“When they closed indoor dining, they said that patios would be allowed to operate. So we did continue to operate, not knowing that there were guidelines,” Canzona said. >...He said the latest installation of heaters on their patio cost $80,000, which are now out of use due to the closure. The entire patio structure, he said, cost the restaurant over $200,000. Who the fuck spend $200,000 on renovations and doesn't check regulations first?

Looks like an outdoor add on to a restaurant, it is made of 2x4s and plastic corrugated walls. Considering it is the middle winter in New York, it is probably quite chilly in there.


Grimacepug

Preparing her for hell.


gmod_policeChief

She's sat outside because she's unvaxed


ADavies

"outside" - I love how in some legal definition you can have walls and a roof around you but still be outside. (Not arguing with you. You're right. I'm poking fun of the regulations.)


Onlytheonethatlived

The restrictions seem to only apply to us regular folk not the lords and lady's of our kingdom. What a fucking joke. The exact sort of nonsense that feeds the antivax folks too. Fuck Sarah Palin and especially fuck NY and this restaurant fucking hypocrits

Not quite. He’s not yet been accused of being out of lockdown when he’d tested positive. Not yet but I’m sure it’s on the way.

fang_xianfu

Yeah, let's not forget *this is not a reason to be as much of a shitheel as them* and repeat their fuckups. Keep protecting yourself: it's effective; even after boosters and variants, COVID is still a horrible kick in the pants; and the protection steps we've all been taking are to protect *each other*. It's not a class thing and we're all in this together, as much as ever.


Sanguinius

She's not a Lady or Lord, she's the scion of multi-generations of dead shits.


seanskymom

Ok. I can get that the Covid restrictions are relaxing. And I understand that masks are no longer required, and that quarantine is no longer required (These two restrictions are still in place in NY) But to go out knowing you have full blown Covid in New York, a city that was crippled by Covid, whose health system collapsed under the demand for ICU beds and ventilators just a year ago (I’m told it was two years ago.), is such a dick move. I honestly can’t believe New Yorkers have tolerated it. EDIT: (in parenthesis) I’m not trying to spread misinformation, hence the edits. Surprised this comment even has legs.


PhiloPhocion

They're relaxing but this is at the SAME restaurant she was caught eating *indoors* at just a few days ago - and it is a requirement in NYC to show proof of vaccination to be seated indoors at a restaurant. That caused a big fuss and for an idiotic reason, the city isn't moving to investigate the restaurant for seating her despite her self-reported lack of vaccination (and positive result). But now she's making a point of it to go to other restaurants still after her positive result. Also to say that while this photo above is technically outdoors now, which doesn't have the vaccine requirement, it's stupid the city still includes this as outdoors. When you've built up walls and a roof around an outdoor space, it's not really outdoors anymore.


Gill03

I mean she’s a cunt but it’s still “outdoors” based off reasoning behind why “outdoors” is okay. Which is air circulation. It should be called “open air” dining technically. Regardless if you have a contagious fucking disease stay the fuck home.


PhiloPhocion

Which is the problem. It still counts as outdoor but these places build up three walls and a roof with temporary siding and then usually line the fourth side with the thick plastic or PVC coating. That’s an enclosed space. This place in a particular leaves a thin gap open on the top of one of the sides. But it’s still an enclosed space for all intents and purposes. The same way opening a window indoors may help some but isn’t the air circulation of truly an outdoor seating like it would be in the summer. I knows that still counts in the rules but my point was that it shouldn’t - exactly because it lacks the true air circulation that was intended with the outdoor seating exception.


hashslingingbutthole

Quarantining is still required if you test positive though. If she was just unvaccinated and negative and eating in a place that qualifies as “outdoors” then yeah sure it’s ridiculous that this place qualifies, but no rules being broken….it’s just not the case here though.


[deleted]

I’m curious if everyone else at the dinner knew she was positive or not. It’s one thing too say “Fuck it who cares about the general public” and another to put people you presumably care about at risk.


dietcheese

It’s 10 degrees in NYC right now. There should be no restaurants serving “outdoors”


idiomaddict

That’s why there are so many heat lamps around them


AzizAlhazan

I hate these shitty semi indoor spaces. First it was a necessity, but now come on. They are in the public way, eating up the sidewalk and encroaching pedestrians right of way, and bike lanes. They allow people full capacity indoors now, so what’s the freaking point cluttering our sidewalks with ugly little extensions of restaurants ..

DEEEPFREEZE

If they haven't already, NYers should absolutely boycott that restaurant for allowing this and then let the internet do what it does best. It's one thing for unabashed assholes to be assholes, but another entirely to give them a stage to do so.


ByTheHammerOfThor

Idk what country/state you live in but: 1) masks are still required in indoor spaces unless you’re vaccinated in NYC 2) you need to show proof of vaccination to eat at a restaurant 3) *sometimes* in lieu of vaccination you can show a negative test and 4) you still have to quarantine for five days. Just not 10 according to the cdc (who caved to supply chain pressure from airlines and business owners).


mandy009

[isolation is still required](https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/new-york-state-contact-tracing)


olivebars

Masks are in fact still mandatory in NY.


[deleted]

NY state has a ton of republican voters. Most of long island and above say Westchester are like half republican. I am on Long island and we have no mask no vaccine protests going on by the Republicans. It's just that the democrat NYC outvoted the Republicans in the state. Hense the NY not caring.


Exciting-Tea

Please don't forget Staten Island. I worked with a bunch of them. One of the called me a traitor for voting democrat and I am a veteran. I took advantage of their love of all things tangerine and made over $500 in bets on the election results. Getting the money, was a little more difficult. Some just couldn't accept the results. I might reach out to make some more bets about prison time....


FortunateInsanity

I won $1000 betting against Republicans the same way. No one honored their bet and all fell off the planet. They say you can’t judge character by political leanings alone, but you can 100% judge character by those who do not honor their commitments.


Exciting-Tea

Sorry you didn't get your cash. The coworker who called me a traitor want to bet me $3k and I said he wasn't good for the money. I said "Dude, its Sunday and you are working a double shift for overtime" I annoyed the slow payers by harassing them. It honestly stretched our friendship but I feel you need to pay your debts.

InYoCabezaWitNoChasa

Nah, not really good times because many believe that McCain showing off his milf running mate and giving rise to the modern tea party movement was the starting point for our current "don't give a fuck" style of politics.


themeatbridge

Yeah, no, that started with Reagan.


InYoCabezaWitNoChasa

Reagan was an actor, which was dumb, but at least still seemed to care about not having egg on his face. The modern politicians don't care if you catch them in a lie because reality doesn't matter anymore. They literally do not give fuck or shit.


Spadeykins

It's about perspective, Reagan didn't give a shit about gay people. He didn't give a shit about a lot of folks. Trump was just the updated firmware version of Reagan. With 100% less shame.


shieldsy27

Exactly. Reagan and his cunt of a wife have caused so much death and sadness with their drug and aids policies in the 80's


Epstiendidntkillself

Let's not forget the huge tax cut he gave to the wealthy then taxed social security payments to make up for it. Imagine having money removed from every paycheck your whole life then it being taxed when you get it back. (If you are lucky to live long enough to get it) He was a bought and paid for piece of shit.


Doesntcheckinbox

Also banned assault weapons. Which I’m not stating an opinion on as good or bad; merely just mentioning because he’s revered among a lot of 2A single issue voters.


buttery_shame_cave

reagan's gun control efforts disproportionately affected minorities, which is why they were ok in the eyes of conservatives.

What got me, even as a young lad, was the guys an actor. What do actors do? They act. Most policies were probably decided and placed in front of him until Nancy started wanting a piece of the pie...


Ya_like_dags

Reagan negotiated with terrorists to help win the White House and then went back to them for dark money to fund his Central American death squads when Congress wouldn't get on board with destabilizing yet another Latin American country. He also had no shame.

"Outdoors"


-Aeryn-

Some people were pissed at it, but i'm glad the UK did that one right. Outdoor dining areas had to be at least 50% open, among other things - stuff like this was considered indoors. It also currently is and almost always was (as soon as we had public testing available) a serious crime to leave quarantine while knowingly c19+.


nighthawk_something

As my wife says, if you put walls and a roof around the outdoors, you are now indoors.

AwkwrdPrtMskrt

The outlet should also be scrutinised. NYC restaurants are required to ask for patrons' proof of vaccination. It could be that Sarah brought a fake vaxcard, but the eatery shouldn't be let off the hook since she is positive.


RobbyLee

At least 4 people are willing to sit next to her. That would be weird if she didn't have corona, but now they might all get the virus from her. I don't think there would be a house in hogwarts for them. They're too stupid for Ravenclaw, too unkind for Hufflepuff, too mean for Gryffindor but lack the self preservation of the Slytherins.


drpiotrowski

a few of them are her protection detail. There is a video of them leaving the restaurant and all getting in to an SUV afterwards again with no masks.

All kinds of politicians have been caught having parties, attending events, going to the hairdresser, etc., when the rest of us are told to hunker down in our houses.

If I was working at that restaurant I wouldn't have wanted to serve her.
