The Kraken is lackin’.
What are the potential consequences of not showing up for the grand jury hearing? A contempt charge? Or just a much higher likelihood of losing?
"… the excerpt provided an in-depth account of an encounter with the ex-president in late 1995 or early 1996, when Carroll said he forced himself on her in a Bergdorf Goodman’s dressing room and briefly penetrated her. Trump has repeatedly denied the allegations, saying that Carroll is “totally lying” and that she is “not [his] type.”
I guess that means if she was his “type”, he would have been okay with the sex assault.
This is in addition to her defamation suit against him still dragging on.
Trump Super PAC raised $40 in August.
That is not a typo:
Reporters are still uncertain if that $40 includes the 600% match.
(Sorry, the original Financial Times link just would not work.)
I sure don’t know, but I hope there are some consequences.
That’s a heck of a way to spend $5.70
Maybe they are tired of paying his personal expenses.
Sorry. That was me. I thought I was downloading a Super Pac Man app on my iPad.
For heaven’s sake, how many SuperPACs does he have that he controls?
(Future courtroom)
“You’ve said that Ms. Carroll is “not your type”. Tell me Mr. Trump, just what type of women do you prefer to rape?”
Lest anyone be confused, Mr. Lewis was just making up a hypothetical scenario for humor.
It seemed like the majority of people responding to this on Twitter were mistakenly thinking this was real. (This is how misinformation happens.)
Dammit. That’s what I get for posting this right when I sit down for lunch. I’ll see if a mod can delete it or note it or something. Thanks, I appreciate it.
ETA: Thanks, W/E!
I’ve seen it suggested that he typed that slur but autocorrect changed it to “peekaboo.”
I also saw it suggested that it is common slur for James – Ji##boo James–on right wing sites. Any here know?
I don’t think he’s saying the Trump wouldn’t use a racist slur, just that he wouldn’t use that one in public. “Pocahontas” and “China Flu” are obviously racist to anyone with a basic understanding of modern race relations, but aren’t in the blatant way that J$$$bo, Pic$$$$ny or N$$ger are.
If that is the case, then I think it was most likely an intentional attempt at a “clever” dog-whistle, ala “Let’s go Brandon”, rather than an auto-correct.
While I despise Trump with every fiber of my being. I don’t see why Peekaboo is a slur. It’s just stupid. Even if it was autocorrected.
I guess I just don’t see or hear racial slurs.
Exactly
Speaking of ‘who pays for what’ and schadenfreude: as happy as many of us are to see New York’s Letitia James proceeding with civil litigation against Trump and three of his adult children, we all probably realize that it will be many, many, many months until this case reaches a resolution (most likely with a settlement).
But in the meantime, Trump and the spawn will have lawyers to pay.
And while the RNC may continue to pay Trump’s legal expenses—at least for a while—it seems unlikely that they will spring for representation for Don Jr., Eric, or Ivanka.
And eventually they may even tire of paying for Trump.
So the grifters are likely to incur some VERY big bills in coming months…how sad!!!
It’s certainly gonna be a lot longer than two weeks from now….
I can’t verify that this is 100% authentic, but apparently Trump is accusing John Ratcliffe - his Director of National Intelligence - of posting links from Hunter’s laptop showing a plot by the FBI to set up fake proof at Mar-a-Lago of his law-breaking (I assume…it doesn’t say what it was proof of).
