New York Times responds to Donald Trump's lawsuit threat: bring it on

You’re right. But Mr. Trump might gain a new perspective by having the tables turned. And I wasn’t imagining rape, per se, more along the lines of grabby kissy stuff.

Well, they want Trump to be POTUS. That’s certainly a start.

So, now, Trump claims he has “evidence” that these accusations are false, and that they will release that evidence "at the appropriate time’.

I suppose that’s just like how he will release his tax returns “at the appropriate time”.

Or how he’ll say something more about whether Obama was born in the U.S. “at the appropriate time”.

Or that he’ll tell us who he talks to about foreign policy “at the appropriate time”.

I’m sure there’s more out there…

It’s quaint hearing the NYT sanctimoniously declare they must protect democracy, when during the mad and jingoistic run-up to the war on Iraq, the only reporter to question the logic behind the reasoning for war was unceremoniosly fired (Pulitzer winning Chris Hedges). I’m sure sensationalism has nothing to do with the NYT picking a (very safe) public fight with a universally reviled figure (that they were astonishingly taciturn about during the primaries).

Is it weird that I’m kinda disappointed to get to this thread after all the astroturfers have been moderated out of it?

Now I’m going to have to go read the BTL comments on an article about brexit to get my daily dose of cretin schadenfreude… :unamused:

I highly recommend it if you’re into feeling incredulous at the logical backflips stupid people can make to back up an uninformed point of view.

‘ENTIRE UNITED KINGDOM ACTUALLY ON FIRE AND HURTLING TOWARDS THE SUN AS A DIRECT RESULT OF BREXIT’
‘Good! Once we are incinerated we won’t need to be dependent on foreign utility companies for heating!’

It’s its own, special kind of joy…

Would be nice if they had worked in the phrase “trumped up charges”

He forgets that, as he has not yet been elected president, he is not yet able to rescind freedom of the press.

New Trump mission:
Go to his rallies with the Trump signs.
Get a good spot right behind him, where the cameras will catch.
Then peel off the Trump decals and hold aloft the underlying signs: "PENCE 2020."
Wait for him to go apeshit.

Why not Pence 2016?

How about ‘Not Pence Either’?

It’s called Veep. Patton Oswalt’s character should stalk Trump.

That works too, but it’s not as specifically insulting towards Trump.

If pronunciation of one word had any influence on the pronunciation of a similar word, English would be a much simpler language to speak.

Yeah, English pronunciation is tough, through-and-through. My thought, though, is that I’m going to go out on a bough, and say I’m still right.

*cough*

I read your sentence once but I think I might read it again.

Off the observation deck of the Empire State Building. That’d be cool.

It would make a good base for a portaloo, though.
