DeSants Scores in Iowa, Taunts Trump https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/14/us/politics/desantis-impresses-in-iowa-showing-up-an-absent-trump.html

As Expected, Trump Appeals Carroll v. Trump Verdict https://www.axios.com/2023/05/11/donald-trump-e-jean-carroll-verdict-appeal

You defend the same way the plaintiff asserts. She succeeded because she showed up. Trump failed because he didn't. There are other defamation trials and allegations of sexual abuse in the pipeline. We'll see if Trump shows up for those.

That's part of the story, yes. And what you say is true. The rest of the story, also true, is the jury found Trump liable for defamation and sexual abuse, and ordered Trump to pay Carroll $5 million in damages. The abuse and defamation did happen, the jury decided. And Trump made no defense...

Don't forget about the fact that Trump did not offer a defense in the Carroll case. His attorneys only tried to discredit the case Carroll made. When you do not appear in court to mount a defense and do not have your attorneys do so, it kinda tilts the scale against you.

As With Carroll, So Too With Zervos and Several Others? From Google Bard: Summer Zervos v. Donald Trump is a defamation lawsuit that was filed in New York state court in 2017. Zervos, a former contestant on The Apprentice, alleges that Trump defamed her when he denied her allegation that he...

Trump's Crib-Kill Efforts Continue Trump is clearly working hard to kill the DeSantis campaign in its crib. Here in Florida, I saw another harsh Anti-DeSantis ad on TV this morning. It's no accident that Trump is holding a rally in Iowa the same day De'Santis is in the state. Trump will not...

If this law is enforced, it will directly and negatively impact our business. We are planning to remodel our facility in the near future. It's never been easy to find fully staffed contractors for jobs like this. It may get even harder if the law is enforced.

Here's an interesting observation about the Trump/CNN Town Hall ratings: "At a time when CNN has been struggling to turn around viewership decline, the telecast proved to be a ratings disappointment, with Nielsen reporting just 3.1 million viewers overall. That was a big boost over CNN’s...

That too is false. If you have not yet investigated ChatGPT, I encourage you to do so. This artificial intelligence app is rapidly changing how people do their research and work in all domains of life. That's not because ChatGPT "knows" little. It's because ChatGPT's capabilities are nothing...

You're highlighting that Pomerantz "took the Fifth." If your implication is there is something wrong with that, I'd ask you to explain why it's wrong for Pomerantz but presumably OK for Trump. When Trump did it, you said not a word about it.

I asked ChatGPT this: "Was there ever a time when for every 2 judges that were picked by Republicans, the Democrats could pick one of their own?" ChatGPT replied: "There has never been a formal arrangement or agreement between Democrats and Republicans to confirm judges on a specific ratio...

Citing a TV host and claiming he would know is insufficient. How do you know if he knows or not? This is a simple question, easily answered with objectively verifiable information. . While it was once true that an arrangement existed between Democrats and Republicans such that the majority party...

Trump has plead the Fifth hundreds of times and he defended the practice.

1. While that was once true, I don't know it's true in recent years. When I asked that question and asked you for your source, you did not respond. 2. I'm talking about judges and justices who were nominated by Trump himself. There is nothing "likely Democratic" about them. These are...

A point you frequently make and one I do not accept. If the process was as partisan biased as you suggest, Trump would not lose appeal after appeal in courts dominated by Republican-appointed judges and justices.

I don't know that any such place exists anywhere in the world in any domain, media or otherwise. I know of no media outlet, social media platform, church, school, business, government, family, or any other entity that tolerates everything. Even Heaven is closed to those not inclined to pledge...

A seemingly hapless Collins was steamrolled by Trump who commanded the event the entire time. And the event was obviously a ratings hit, for that hour that time. I don't know what conclusions can be drawn about the future of CNN from that one hour. One would need a little more to go on than...

There is nothing independent or free about Musk and Twitter. Since taking over, Musk has stomped on several people he did not like. If Elon tolerates you, you get to stay. If he dislikes you, your stuff is weak.

If I was Carlson receiving an offer like this, the very first thing I would want to know is the financial status of the offering company. What assurance do I have they can pay what they say they will pay? It's one thing to make a self-serving publicity splash by making an open-letter offer. It's...
