And in other news of the day…
I’ll bet you a dollar Trump can’t recite all 26 letters of the alphabet in order.
He has gone to this well too many times. Its just low energy noise now.
Llibelous tweeting
No worries, Trump. Relax that tweeting finger! The Senate Intelligence Committee succeeds where Nunes failed, being boring. Cameras disappear. The issue eventually goes poof until we’re speaking Russian…
Whining, always whining, so much whining.
What’s wrong, Don, Russiagate Reporting getting under your skin?
Trump’s low level of self-awareness is incredible.
Trump learned this Public Threat of Lawsuit Strategy from the disgraced, dead, closeted, criminal lawyer Roy Cohn. You’d think its ineffectiveness would be apparent to Trump by now. The NYT, et alia, would fight it vigorously. Intimidating painting contractors is not the same as a major business with many lawyers.
Sure, because he can do that. Easy peasy. Can somebody take him aside & explain how this government thing works?
“Change libel laws?”
Any irony at all that he is using a NY POST article to make his case for a need for better libel laws?
Hypothetically speaking, even if the laws governing slanderous accusation were to be changed, does he have ANY idea as to how to go about doing it??? Considering how much il will he’s generating in his own Party, the mere consideration is ludicrous.
And does he really think this intimidates the NYT or WaPo?
Consider this…
tRump gets libel laws changed.
NYT published lengthy story around tRump not a real billionaire, says tRump business are all fueled by Rooskie cash.
tRump sues.
Court orders tRump to produce tax returns to support his claim to be a billionaire.
Court awards tRump the most beautiful bigly orange attire, courtesy of the Federal government.
Be careful what you wish for, Mr. “Obama bad (sick) wire tapp Trump Tower”
Libel, defamation writ large.
OT, but PeePee is again falling hard in the polls. With today’s new Rasmussen and PPP polls, he now stands at -12.3 in the Real Clear Politics aggregate.
This can’t end soon enough - these have been the longest weeks of my life.
I hope this doesn’t come as a health-threatening shock to anyone but Trump has no idea what he’s talking about, and no power to change any libel laws. Idiot.
District Courts: Nope.
Appellate Courts: Not happening, motherfucker.
Supreme Court: Uhh, we’re a little busy keeping the dark money spigots open. Sorry.
Whose job will it be to explain to this bilious idiot that the ‘libel laws’ he wants changed were actually made by, ironically, the New York Times in their defense of the their First Amendment rights. New York Times v. Sullivan (1964) and New York Times v. U.S. (1971).
This is not their first rodeo.
His inane tweets are becoming like the background noise of the traffic on a major road about 1/4 of a mile from my house. A kind of ignorable sussuration occasionaly puctuated by a siren or two.
He can’t.
Congress has to act to change federal laws and states have to act to change state laws.
