I know it’s been discussed in other threads, but doesn’t this repeated defamation at some point cross the line into behavior that can be addressed by a restraining order? (Or some other legal directive – maybe a cease-and-desist? Obviously IANAL.) Then if Trump continues to do it he can actually be prosecuted.
I originally posted this in the wrong forum:
Brian Stelter describes bombshell testimony from the Trump trial:
“CNN - April 23, 2024 - David Pecker, former publisher of the National Enquirer, while testifying today about the tabloid’s catch-and-kill tactics for stories unfavorable to Donald Trump, admitted on the stand that Trump had confided to him back in the 1990s that he was the father of Bat-Boy. Bat-Boy, who has been described as half human, half bat, and half squirrel, and an Endangered Species, was a staple of the tabloids during that time.
Trump, according to Pecker, claimed he had passed out after eating a half dozen fermented banana cheesecakes during a golf outing in Costa Rica and that a succubus had copulated with him in his suite afterward. The succubus later demanded money to keep the story quiet.
The notorious Bat-Boy was infamous in the tabloid media during the '90s for his daring escapes from Deep State government scientists and Bill Gates, who wanted to clone Bat-Boy to take advantage of his appetite for mosquitos to combat malaria in sub-Saharan Africa.
When informed about their half-brother, Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump stated that they would seek an injunction to prevent Bat-Boy from being included in their father’s will.”
How long before Trump fakes an illness in an attempt to buy time?
He doesn’t need to fake an illness. He’s got bone spurs.
I’m surprised he hasn’t done it before to be honest, I guess he wants to project an image of strength.
Well, I know we have some lawyers here who probably have their own commentary on this, but I’ve seen how badly this goes. Without getting into too much detail, the backstory is that this was two officers of the company I worked at who were in trouble over some SEC shenanigans.
Officer #1 was charged, taken to court, fined, and prohibited from serving as an officer of a publicly traded company for some number of years.
Officer #2 was charged and faked a terminal cancer diagnosis, claiming to have less than a year to live. He was not prosecuted.
Until his own lawyer, realizing that he had defrauded the court, turned him in. Officer #2 ended up spending 5 years in prison.
Which is ridiculous. Charge him, try him. If convicted, give him a life sentence…
I probably should have said his prosecution was deferred so he could go home and die.
It does make sense not to waste resources on someone who probably won’t even live through the trial, or will miss day after day due to treatment.
Surely you’re not implying that the Healthiest President Ever, who is going to be the first person to live to be 200, could possibly ever be sick.
He does have that healthy orange glow, after all.
Good stuff, thanks! Here’s the ad itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wgWICaEEuw
From wherre I sit, it seems like he’s already been on the planet for 200 years.
Eighty-eight felonies pending? I would never trust any pend…ejo that has anything to do with or dares to include any reference to 88 in his name, avatar, bio, resumé, tattoos or anything really. Never ever. We had some here in this board, I believe they have all been banned, and with good reason.
Well, used to, anyway. With the Orange Felon flouting all norms and conventions and establishing a new baseline of chaos while also flouting actual laws and – so far – getting away with it, I’m not so sure any more.
I know it won’t have any real effect, but I just like to see their names get muddied just a little bit more.
Good lord. O’Donnell really knows how to twist the knife:
"Donald Trump is the only criminal defendant I have ever seen who cannot round up a single family member to sit in the front row of the courtroom in support of criminal defendant Donald Trump…
Serial killer and sometimes cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer had his parents in the courtroom every single day. Donald Trump has less familial support than Jeffrey Dahmer had in the courtroom.
Quick definition question to anyone in the know:
Does the title of unindicted generally mean not going to be indicted, or does it mean not yet indicted?
It could be either, but I think in this case it means “not likely to be indicted,” or they woud have done so by now.
But Trump is a peachy cool arrow!
Tell me about it. I was a Spy Magazine subscriber.
Thanks, I thought that was probably the case.
