BREAKING: Trump in 3,500 lawsuits (USA Today)

Original post made by Pearl, Woodside: other, on Jun 2, 2016

Trump involved in 3,500 lawsuits per USA Today.

Looks like even faux-billionaires use the judicial system as a play toy.

How long before Trump sues the Almanac? I would use my full name, but do not want to hire a lawyer! What kind of person uses the courts like this?



Here's a hint as to the inner workings of Trump's ego: after 30 years, Trump still bristles that someone once joked he has small hands - well before Little Marco talked about the deficient size of Trump's 'hands'.

"Nearly 30 years ago, Graydon Carter, the editor of Vanity Fair magazine, described Trump in Spy magazine as a “short-fingered vulgarian.”

In an editor’s letter in "Vanity Fair" last November, Carter said that he wrote the Sky magazine comment in 1988 "just to drive him a little bit crazy."

And according to Carter, it still does."

Ridonkulous.

"To this day, I receive the occasional envelope from Trump. There is always a photo of him—generally a tear sheet from a magazine. On all of them he has circled his hand in gold Sharpie in a valiant effort to highlight the length of his fingers," Carter wrote. "I almost feel sorry for the poor fellow because, to me, the fingers still look abnormally stubby."

"The most recent offering arrived earlier this year, before his decision to go after the Republican presidential nomination," Carter continued. "Like the other packages, this one included a circled hand and the words, also written in gold Sharpie: 'See, not so short!' I sent the picture back by return mail with a note attached, saying, 'Actually, quite short.'"

I wonder if the the editor of Vanity Fair is one of 3,500 lawsuits?

My fellow Peninsula residents: how many lawsuits have you been involved with?

1?

2?

3?

10?

100?

Three Thousand Five Hundred?

Trump abuses our judicial systems, costing taxpayers millions.

And he pays no taxes because of real estate loopholes.

I will never vote for him. I will vote libertarian this time.

Trump said today he doesn't settle lawsuits because it means he lost (a lie).

Look at how many he settled!

Then he sues to pay his workers less than he promised.

Just a short fingered settler.

Trump says the judge in his Trump U fraud case (Trump defrauded a lot of common working folk) can't judge him fairly because the judge is "Mexican".

Yo, short fingers, the judge's parents came to America years before your mother came to our great country.

Who's the immigrant, Donny? Your mama?

This judge is one BRAVE dude! No way he's concerned because a short-fingered reality show weasel talks smack.

Gerson;

"Is Trump himself a racist? Who the bloody hell cares? There is no difference in public influence between a politician who is a racist and one who appeals to racist sentiments with racist arguments.

The harm to the country — measured in division and fear — is the same, whatever the inner workings of Trump’s heart."

The Donald doesn't like reporters who report about his abuse of the court system, that allows him to get out of paying his agreed upon obligations.

--------------------------------

Trump bans news agencies from reporting.

"U.S. Republican (Party Leader) Donald Trump said on Monday he will no longer issue press credentials to the Washington Post, stopping the publication from gaining access to press areas at his presidential campaign events."


""Donald Trump's decision to revoke The Washington Post's press credentials is nothing less than a repudiation of the role of a free and independent press," the newspaper's editor, Marty Baron, said in a statement."

I miss Molly Ivins..

"There is more hooey spread about the Second Amendment. It says quite clearly that guns are for those who form part of a well-regulated militia, i.e., the armed forces including the National Guard. The reasons for keeping them away from everyone else get clearer by the day. […]

"A well-regulated militia" surely implies both long training and long discipline. That is the least, the very least, that should be required of those who are permitted to have guns, because a gun is literally the power to kill. For years, I used to enjoy taunting my gun-nut friends about their psycho-sexual hang-ups---always in a spirit of good cheer, you understand. But letting the noisy minority in the National Rifle Association force us to allow this carnage to continue is just plain insane."


How sad she would be if she knew of the hundreds, maybe thousands, of mass shooting in America since she wrote that in 1993.

Wonder why Americans aren't sad about that.......

Now that Republicans are abandoning Trump in droves, and more will do so as Trump's numbers crater for his candidacy and the party's number get dragged further south...

how soon before Trump threatens more lawsuits?

- he threatened many of his primary opponents with lawsuits (empty threats)

- when he is challenged in Cleveland with a GOP Conscience Clause (oxymornic!) he will threaten more suits

- when he is replaced he will threaten more suits, of course

- if not replaced, who will he sue when he loses? The RNC?

Court abuse of the highest order!

Anyone but Trump (except maybe Ted Cruz) could have beaten Hillary.

What are the odds that Trump ends up seeing the GOP before this is all done?

Our most important ally has a staggering, historic event that shocks the world, foreshadows the the collapse of the British Pound, and Trump is asked about it.

Trump rants for EIGHT MINUTES on how his failing golf course has "majestic par 3's".

Ladies and gentlemen, the leader of the Republican Party.

The proud Republican Party. Party of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.

All these rats leaving a sinking ship finally.

Where were they are year ago when Trump showed us how evil and abusive he was?

I thought Cruz had the guts to stay Never Trump. But he caved in a couple weeks ago even after Trump dissed his dad and his wife. Should have held out, teddy, and stuck to your principles. Now we know you don't have any.

Everyone who supported Trump needs to retire. Go away. We need new conservatives with real principles.

You lose. We have it in print and online video. Go home.
