Discussion: 'Fire And Fury' Publisher: Trump Cease-And-Desist 'Flagrantly Unconstitutional'

That’s what Wolff is hoping for. The more Trump rages about this book, the more copies people buy. It’s like in the old days when the Catholic Church used to rail against movies they thought were indecent and immoral, and the studios would basically say, “See the movie that they don’t want you to see!”

Also, it’s hard to unring the bell. The book has been published and sold. It’s also available as an audio book through Audible. (I’m on chapter 4.)

Every time he does this, the would-be victim calmly invites him to step outside if he’s man enough, and he never is. :disappointed_relieved: Sad!

Maybe Trump would be better off sending a “cease and desist” to his buddy Assange who reportedly put the whole book online to thwart sales.

Not sure I truly understand the logic there if the goal is to have less people read the book, but there it is.

Not me… There isn’t a court in the country that wouldn’t laugh this off the docket.

There’s probably a good lawsuit in the wings against WikiLeaks over their pirating a copyrighted work… one could only hope.

If there’s a logic to petty vindictiveness, that’s the logic. It could hurt sales some, certainly.

btw, this also happened at that sh–show

The Washington Post reported that when the Arizona Republican stood up and introduced himself, Trump said, “You’ve been very critical of me.”

“Yes, I’m the other senator from Arizona — the one who didn’t get captured — and I want to talk to you about statements like that,” Flake responded, two Republican officials told the Post.

almost forgot

Trump noted he had yet to start attacking Flake and threatened to start. Flake then urged Trump to stop attacking Mexicans, according to the report.

The presumptive Republican nominee predicted Flake would lose his reelection bid, to which Flake shot back that he’s not on the ballot until 2018.

Only if it is stain and water proof enough to stand the presidential throne if you get my drift.

But that Bugs-Yosemite Sam interaction’s a perfect illustration of how his own “counterpunching” is reflexive and self-destructive.

Unfortunately, the 25th only removes the powers from the office, not the man from the office – only Congress can do that.
