About threatening to sue, Trump's threatened to sue or publicly considered suing 22 times during his campaign. He's followed through on 2.

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/...this-campaign/

That's like once every 3.5 weeks on average, lol.

Trump is involved in 3,500 law suits. Mark Cuban has 10.

That's a lot of jobs! (that joke's probably been made before many many times)

We had discussed a bit about Trump threatening to sue people.

He is 2/22 in following up those threats with lawsuits since he started his campaign.

Trump's latest defense against a woman accusing him of inappropriate actions...

Quote:
"These are stories that are made up, these are total fiction. You'll find out that, in the years to come, these women that stood up, it was all fiction," he said. "They were made up. I don't know these women, it's not my thing to do what they say. You know I don't do that. I don't grab them, as they say, on the arm."

"One said, 'he grabbed me on the arm.' And she's a porn star. You know, this one that came out recently, 'he grabbed me and he grabbed me on the arm.' Oh, I'm sure she's never been grabbed before," Trump said.

Somewhere Conway is thumping her head against a wall.

Well, that part I believe. Why would he waste his time with the arm?

Trump's Campaign Pre-planned Con Job
There was no pivot after he clinched the nomination. The supergenius con man narrative goes out the window when he didn't tone down the racism and play to the center.

'It's not my thing to do what they say'.

This guy is truly ridiculous. You're on tape saying what you do, Donald. Cripes.

Speaking of Conway, she doesn't know what Trump was talking about when he tweeted "Wow, just came out on secret tape that Crooked Hillary wants to take in as many Syrians as possible. We cannot let this happen - ISIS!" earlier today.

Quote:
When Kornacki brought up the statement on air that afternoon, Conway dismissed it, interjecting, “Twitter.”
Kornacki pushed back, “Well, he said, this is the best way of reaching voters, so I’m going to quote him on it.”
“He gave three speeches today, Steve!” Conway protested.
Kornacki went ahead and read the tweet, and then asked Conway what secret tape exists to prove Trump’s claim. She dodged, saying, “I don't know about the secret tape,” before pivoting to Clinton’s proposal to increase the intake of Syrian refugees by the U.S.

Prediction: None of Trump's surrogates or Kellyanne get paid until they serve at least 1-3 years on TrumpTV (where they will likely still not get paid through some technicality) .

If only they knew a good lawyer, they wouldn't be worried about this sort of thing...

Had an interesting talk with my aunt today who is an American, and she was talking about how understated the philanthropic work of Michelle Obama and Laura Bush is, and how that will evaporate with Melania. It's something that crossed my mind, but I was unaware of the extent to which that is a factor when it comes to some people's perception of the administration.

Something earth shattering just happened. I don't want to mention it or report on it until the mainstream media talks about it. It could just be a rumor.

I despise Litigious people.
I wonder how many were filed against Trump vs how many Trump has filed.
I know many people who are litigious and they are typically arrogant, immature and have too much bravado for their own good. Also idiots.

So if Trump is simply the next media brand in that ilk, that's still a significant market and potential revenue, with Trump having far better connections and a more recognizable brand than Beck. I don't think Beck really got any other notable personalities (at least notable beyond the fringe right echo chamber) on his network, but Trump could probably get a celebrity-apprentice calibre cast of b-list celebrity hosts.
Like Scott Baio?

Is it the Eric Braverman rumour? Because that's the only one I've seen that looks remotely anything-shattering right now, but not even 4chan types are taking it seriously based on the source.

edit: I shouldn't say they aren't taking it seriously, but at least they're treating it highly skeptically.
