IANAL, but, as a practical matter, “it was only satire” just doesn’t seem a likely argument to get her out of this, given all the (badly written, typo-laden) court filings she filed with a signature, under penalty of perjury, alleging that her outrageous claims were true. Further, this filing appears to be a guilty plea to the request for sanctions that Detroit filed against her. No one’s going to get a billion dollar settlement from her over all this, but, she may well end up living in a cardboard box under an overpass shouting at pigeons and passersby. Ya HATE to see it.
Her target audience were not “reasonable” people, but the easily duped. Her message was basically “Saying it louder than the other guy makes me right, the audience those sees the loudest person *must* be right.

So she’s admitting she’s full of shit to the few among us whole already didn’t know that to be true.
Oh…we all know it was always bullshit.
But there are consequences to spreading bullshit….
