Trump's Second Term

[Segnosaur]

A US judge has ordered President Donald Trump to answer questions under oath in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC by 11 December...

And if he doesn't?

I suspect that if Trump doesn't sit for a deposition, the judge will probably just end up dismissing the case.

After that, Trump will probably whine endlessly about "unfair communist biased judges", but he wouldn't really have any legal leg to stand on.

(And lets face it, Trump was likely going to lose the case anyways, so either he loses it before any trial or he loses at the trial itself, the end result is till the same... trump spewing nonsense over his loss.

He’ll probably slap 1000% tariffs on the Beeb.

It should be dismissed with costs. BIG costs.

I can't see him cutting his losses on this court case; that doesn't seem to be his style. Remembering the reflecting pool 'vandalism' case, Trump does like to ride the fail train all the way to the depot. Whether he fantasizes some last minute magic will turn his inevitable loss into a win, I can't imagine. Perhaps he gets a kick out of knowing he's avoiding giving the other side the relief of knowing the vexatious shenanigans are over.

The Beeb can sue him as a vexatious litigant?

He'll turn up and say he doesn't have his glasses so he can't read anything and he has people who deal with that (whatever "that" is). It's his usual SOP.

Minot idiocy, but it shows the level of competence in the Pentagon with Hesgath in charge:

Trump is trying one of his basic tactics as a businessman: SLap a lawsuit on somebody regardless of your chances of winning, the idea geing your opponent might make a deal rather then face the legal costs.
What Trump does not get is that if you are POTUS, you sort of hang an open season on yourself
You have to expect to get a a lot of crap thrown at you. I goes with the job.

The fact that he broke what represents the world is not lost on me.

 

[dudalb]

It's a poor workman that blames his tools.

Then there is the joke about "He is a self made man...and one of the worst examples of shoddy workmanship you ever want to seeL.

The GOP Is now in the throw anything at the wall in hope it sticks stage of the election. Problem is they are way too obvious about it.

I can't help wondering if it was Hegseth and a couple of guys who rolled out of a bar and decided to move the globe themselves.

My theory is that it was Hegseth mistaking it for one of those globes that opens up to reveal a bar.

No big deal, those were ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ countries that broke off.

 

[P.J. Denyer]

I wonder how many elderly MAGAs have died of shock after Googling "BBC video" to find out what the fuss was about?

Vivek Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Amy Acton, who is running for Governor of Ohio, is a liar, and much worse.
The Press, in a concerted and well coordinated attack, is trying to get Vivek Ramaswamy to “take down the Ad.”
Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about a daughter in that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving in Office, let alone the Office of Governor.
If my mother, the legendary Mary MacLeod Trump, said anything bad about me, the Fake News would play it up. The Dumocrats would be totally supportive, and it would go down as the Ad of the Decade — Maybe the Century! It would win Awards for Excellence in Advertising.
But, because Vivek, who will be a GREAT Governor, put it out, the “Artificial” News has teamed up against him in order to damage, demean, and embarrass a Republican who is leading in the Polls.
Our RINO Governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, who I unfortunately helped get elected years ago, when he was losing by 16 points prior to my doing a Rally for him was, as usual, disloyal to the Republican Party. He strongly suggested that Vivek should, “take down the Ad.” He probably wants a Dumocrat to win, and certainly doesn’t want someone who will do a much better job than he is capable of doing.
I suggested, on the other hand, that Vivek should keep it up, and let everyone listen to the mother of a defective, dishonest, and incapable Candidate, explain how the daughter is a DISASTER who, uncontrollably, lies, cheats, and steals!
I only wish the mothers of my opponents would be so brave as to come forward and explain that their son or daughter is a liar, and much worse.
That took a lot of courage to do but, essentially, what she was really doing was saving Ohio from making a truly horrible choice!
The Press is trying to convince everyone that this Ad is bad, because it’s so good! Who wouldn’t use such an Ad? I would, it’s called, “hitting pay dirt.”
The fact is, Lyin’ Amy Acton, who I’ve never even heard of before, has been lying about Vivek for the entire Campaign.
I know the real Vivek, he is a brilliant and outstanding person who will cut Taxes, stop Crime and, MAKE OHIO GREAT AGAIN.
He will be a fantastic Governor!

Iran is doing everything they can to drive up the price of Oil prior to the U.S. Midterm Election.
They are even making up fake hits, mines, and everything else, because more Oil is coming through the Hormuz Strait now than it did even prior to the beginning of the Conflict.
They continue to kill protestors, and anyone else that happens to be in their way.
It is truly an Evil Regime, and I can only hope the American Public, and the World, understands how EVIL they are!
75,000 protestors lie dead in less than seven months.
It is shocking how the World, and the Dumocrat Party, seem not to care.
IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, AND THEY WILL NEVER A NUCLEAR WEAPON!

While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country!
I said right from the beginning that he’s no good, a TOTAL DISGRACE.
LeBron James should apologize to all of those Great American Warriors and Heroes who died for the American Flag, and all that our Country stands for!

This whole thing will play badly with everyone except the most hardcore MAGA voters, who would vote R anyways.
