One thing about Donald Trump is his consistency. He’s like a nasty dog whose actions you can always predict because in addition to being nasty, the cur isn’t very bright. Trump reminds me of a particularly evil little mutt that used to terrorize me back in my horseback riding days. One night I was the last person to stable my horse and there was a storm brewing. Dust devils were spiralling up and the sky was getting dark. The mutt, who hated me for some reason, cornered me. I looked around to see that nobody was on the ranch in sight. I was all alone. So I looked down at the snarling little cur, who was bearing his teeth and playing the big shot, and said, “I’m wearing my riding boots. You want to see how fast my steel toes can smash your fucking ribs before you can get a tooth on me?”
I don’t know if dogs understand English but they understand hate, and I was projecting that at it with all my heart and soul. The little coward wimped away. Trump is such a being. Many people stand down from his bullying simply because they don’t want to engage, not because they fear him especially or believe that he’s “won.”
He won’t win this case against Rupert Murdoch, whom he hilariously said “didn’t have the power” to spike the Epstein revelation. I believe that Murdoch does and did. I believe Murdoch chose NOT to spike the story and there, ladies and gentlemen, is the real story. It’s the story I would love to see told, in any event, because this is a tipping point. And whoever would have thought that Murdoch would be the catalyst for the tide turning against Donald Trump?
It’s interesting he refers to himself in the third party, “President Trump has already beaten,” rather than “I.” What’s that about, anybody got a psych degree here? But the meltdown is complete. And he does it again when he gets to the part about the “Epstein hoax.”
Let’s see Trump do a suit against the Wall Street Journal because the discovery process will be epic. Oh, how I long to see it. And who knows? Maybe Rupert Murdoch is looking to recoup some of that $787 million that he had to pay out to Dominion Voting Systems.
The way I see it, Murdoch is playing Trump for reasons already explained. He sees a sea change with respect to Trump and MAGA, and since MAGA and Fox News intend to still be here long after Trump, of course Murdoch is going to tell Trump whatever he wants to hear and then wait for the resulting explosion.
Let the games begin. I can’t wait. The only thing that would make this more perfect is if it turns out that Alina Habba is going to represent Trump. We’re not even sure she’s going to have a law license by next year, the way things are going. She’s under investigation by the State of New Jersey for an ethical violation concerning a former employee of Trump’s Bedminster property and a non disclosure agreement.

Trump suing Murdoch while being represented by Alina Habba?
This should be a laugh.
Stocking up on popcorn now.
“Maybe Rupert Murdoch is looking to recoup some of that $787 million that he had to pay out to Dominion Voting Systems.”
I don’t quite get this. How can Rupert hope to “recoup” any of that money from this “lawsuit” from Drumpf? Drumpf won’t be paying out any money if he sues and loses; any cash settlement (which would really just be paying Murdoch’s and/or the WSJ’s court costs and legal fees); he’ll just pull it from the Treasury Department. Personally, it’s past time for someone to remind the legal system that a President has NO right to sue ANYONE as President; he’s the most public figure out there and the law allows ANYONE to say or print ANYTHING insulting or offensive about the President (just imagine how many lawsuits Bill Clinton and Barack Obama could’ve filed–hell, Clinton could’ve put an end to the whole right-wing noise machine if he’d been as lawsuit-happy as Drumpf is; but Clinton also had a law license and knew he had no legal standing to sue anyone for speaking/writing ill of him). The ONLY thing that you cannot say or write against Drumpf or any REAL President involves harm directed at the person, no matter how innocuously worded; of course, that usually results in a prison sentence rather than being sued by the President.
I’ll never understand why the very rich waste their time with stupid shit.

Maybe he refers to himself in the third person because he was posting as John Barron and forgot to switch accounts
