stanech: This isn’t suprising – it can be very hard to make a defamation claim. Daniels’ claim regarding the invalidity of the hush agreement is much stronger. The Judge’s reasoning that Daniels is a ‘political adversary’ because she said Cohen paid her for her silence to influence the election. Now on the issue of the alleged defamation made by DT. Not only would Stormy Daniels have to prove that what was said was false, she'd have to prove that DT knew it was false or he made his false claim with reckless disregard for the truth. That second part makes it hard to win a libel suit. Also does anyone think the Judge would side with a woman who made her living in the sex trade? Talk about preconceived notions. Well of course the Judge did! This dismissal only affects the rather ad-hoc-afterthought case of ‘defamation’ - one that never had much chance and was obviously filed for strategic reasons. Stormy Daniels’ real case against Trump has not been dismissed – which is paying her hush money during an election period. ...not in the history of the US under any government, has any President have more legal suits against Donald Trump in different courts across the US - both State and Federal... 2 Likes |

US budget deficit hits $779 bn, highest since 2012: US Treasury https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/world/annual-us-budget-deficit-hits-779-bn-highest-since-2012-us-treasury-3049181.html https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/15/reuters-america-update-1-u-s-government-posts-widest-deficit-since-2012.html The US budget deficit hit USD 779 billion in the fiscal year ending September 30, the highest since 2012 and USD 113 billion more than in the prior year, the Treasury announced on Monday. President Donald Trump hails the tax cuts as a boon to the economy but corporate tax receipts dropped sharply and America's growing debt burden to finance the deficit became increasingly costly, the Treasury Department said. In the 2018 fiscal year, which ended September 30, the United States took in $3.3 trillion but spent $4.1 trillion.The deficit is equivalent to 3.9 percent of GDP, up from 3.5 percent in the 2017 fiscal year, according to the report. Receipts increased slightly, in part due to higher tax payments, especially from individuals, which were offset by "lower net corporation income tax receipts," Treasury said in a statement outlays rose USD 127 billion, with the biggest increase from the Treasury Department, largely due to debt servicing costs. Total government borrowing increased by USD 1 trillion in the latest fiscal year to USD 15.75 trillion, including USD 779 billion to finance the deficit. Interest expenses on government debt increased 14 per cent or USD 65 billion due to the higher debt level as well as rising interest rates, a Treasury official told reporters. 1 Like 1 Share |

CNN Triggered by Trump Mocking Stormy’s Looks, but Were Okay with Segments About Trump’s Penis Jake Tapper joined several other CNN personalities in showing how concerned they were about President Trump mocking Stormy Daniels’ looks, despite the fact that CNN ran two segments about the details of Trump’s penis. CNN personalities Jake Tapper, Brian Stelter, and Chris Cillizza all critically tweeted about Trump referring to porn star Stormy Daniels as “Horseface” on Tuesday. “It’s not new that Donald Trump assesses women almost entirely on how he thinks they look. But it is gross and outrageous nonetheless,” CNN’s Chris Cillizza tweeted Tapper’s objection to Trump attacking Daniels for her physical looks comes as especially stunning considering his own show aired a segment on the appearance of President Trump’s penis. In September, a segment on Tapper’s show was dedicated to Trump’s penis, with CNN correspondent Sara Sidner reading an alleged description of Trump’s genitals from Stormy Daniels’ book. https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2018/10/16/cnn-triggered-trump-mocking-stormys-looks-okay-segments-trumps-penis/ 3 Likes 1 Share |

Donald Trump said the biggest threat to his presidency is the Federal Reserve, why does he always blame the US Federal Institutions on everything - yet he is the one who appointed them - 'always appointing the brightest and the best' in his own words.... https://www.politico.com/story/2018/10/16/trump-threat-federal-reserve-powell-908748 President Donald Trump on Tuesday escalated his criticism of the Federal Reserve, calling the central bank his "biggest threat" because it is raising interest rates "too fast." In an interview with Fox Business, Trump acknowledged the Fed's political independence and said he hasn't spoken with its chairman, Jerome Powell. But he said, "I'm not happy with what he's doing because it's going too fast." Trump nominated Powell to lead the Fed but has frequently criticized his appointee for pursuing interest rate hikes so that the economy does not overheat. Trump blamed the Fed for a recent stock market dip. "Can I be honest?" Trump said in the Fox interview. "I'm not blaming anybody. I put him there. And maybe it's right, maybe it's wrong. But I put him there. I put a couple of other people there that I'm not so happy with, too. But for the most part, I'm very happy with people." |

NEVER AGAIN - the cry of a Bitter soul Avenatti: Good day my Client, How are you doing right now, and how do you feel? Stormy Daniels: *keeps silent with long face, no response* Avenatti: Why the long face? I understand we just practically had our worst day in court. I literally felt like I was physically bruised...This would take time to heal, my dear, but don't worry, We'll try again someday for better luck. Stormy Daniels: Try again!!?? With who?! By the way, Where and how do we raise the money to pay Mr. Trump's legal fees just as the Federal Judge had ordered *sobs with tears flowing down her cheek* Avenatti: I'm lost for words...I have no idea. Now I realised we embarked on a wasted venture. I actually thought we could pull this off, you know....we got the media's backing and support...I even slept and woke up at CNN's headquarter nearly everyday..my face was everywhere. Honestly at a point I felt like I had arrived and started thinking about contesting for the 2020 Presidential race. Now folks will only know and remember me as the once-upon-a-time creepy porn lawyer. Stormy Daniels: You're standing there talking about yourself? What about me you wicked b*tch!?! You used me to promote yourself. It was all about you at the end of the day! - Avenatti only cared about Avenatti. You son of a b*tch! I hope no woman come close to you..Ever!! f*cking prick!! Avenatti: Watch your tongue, you f*cking wh*re!! I ain't no b*tch like you. Afterall you brought dis on yourself when you broke the contract agreement you had with Mr. Trump by opening your filthy mouth and then telling the whole goddam world about your affair with him. Stormy Daniels: Stop it!! Let's cut the crap and start seeking solution to paying the legal fees instead of these insults. What now can we do? Avenatti: The only thing that comes to my mind now is the GO FUND ME money we raised during this whole legal drama. We f*cking raised a hell lot of a money..we're talking about millions and millions of dollars.....Damn!!!! F*ck!!!!! I wish I had never known this Mr. Trump...guy is a wizard and knows how to play ball! Stormy Daniels: **cries bitterly** I can't believe this is happening!!! So all that money we raised will end up in President Trump's pocket??!!! For God's sake this man is already a Billionaire and is the President, and we will still be paying him? Gosh!! Life is cruel..horrible!! *she screamed to the heavens* Oh God!!! Why!! Why me?! I curse the day I opened my filthy mouth...NEVER AGAIN!! will I make a mistake like this.

White House counsel Don McGahn resigns https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-counsel-don-mcgahn-resigns A key Trump administration official formally resigned Wednesday, concluding a 21-month tenure in which he played a key role in some of the president’s most significant accomplishments, a White House official confirmed to The Associated Press. Don McGahn, 50, served as White House counsel to President Donald Trump and was seen as instrumental in implementing the administration’s conservative policies. Yet McGahn’s role in the White House was complicated by his being a chief witness in Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller’s investigation into possible obstruction of justice. McGahn reportedly told officials he was responsible for curbing the president’s more excessive measures, including his desire to fire Mueller from the investigation and reinstating Attorney General Jeff Sessions, The New York Times reported. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/10/17/don-mcgahn-trump-221315 |

Trump Says He Hasn’t Visited Troops In Afghanistan, Iraq Because He’s ‘Very Busy’ https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-says-he-hasnt-visited-troops-in-afghanistan-iraq-because-hes-very-busy_us_5bc892dfe4b055bc947e21c1 President Donald Trump said he hasn’t made his way overseas to visit troops because he’s “very busy.” The president told The Associated Press in an interview published on Tuesday that he’ll go overseas to military bases in places like Iraq and Afghanistan “at some point,” but he doesn’t “think it’s overly necessary.” “I’ve been very busy with everything that’s taking place here,” Trump said, before going on a tangent, claiming that this is the greatest economy the U.S. ever had. “We have the greatest economy in the history of our country. I mean, this is the greatest economy we’ve ever had, best unemployment numbers,” he said. “Many groups are, you know, we’ve never even been close to these numbers. I’m doing a lot of things. I’m doing a lot of things. But it’s something I’d do. And do gladly. Nobody has been better at the military. Hey, I just got them a pay raise. I haven’t had a pay raise in 11 years. I just got them a substantial pay raise. ‘They’ meaning our military people. I just got them new equipment. They have stuff that was so old that the grandfathers used to fly it. I have done more for the military than any president in many, many years.” Trump added that he also wants to keep the troops abroad so the country stays safe. “The main thing I have to see is, I have to see safety at home,” he said. “If I think people are likely to do some very bad things in faraway places to our homeland, I’m going to have troops there for a period of time.” Presidents often visit active military personnel. Former President Barack Obama traveled to Iraq mere months after he was inaugurated. The 45th president hasn’t totally avoided military bases around the world, having gone to both Japan and South Korea during his trip to Asia last year, but he has not been to the bases in the Middle East or elsewhere. Despite being busy, Trump did not hesitate to offer a defense to his disparaging comments about Stormy Daniels in the interview with the AP. When the wire service asked Trump about whether it was appropriate to call her “horseface,” he told them they could take the nasty remark “any way you want.”

Fox News Presenter Neil Cavuto Warns Trump of Dangers of Habitually 'Shifting Blame' http://insider.foxnews.com/2018/10/18/neil-cavuto-rips-donald-trump-dangers-shifting-blame-past-presidents In his Common Sense monologue, Neil Cavuto warned President Trump that it is not politically or civically advantageous to habitually shift blame when things don't go his way. Cavuto said that if Republicans lose the House of Representatives, Trump appears to already be preparing to point the finger at someone other than himself. "If they don't go out and vote, then they have themselves to blame," Trump told FBN's Trish Regan earlier this week. Cavuto said Trump made Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell his latest political fall guy, ripping the banker for raising interest rates too fast as the Dow sees wild swings day-to-day. "It is human nature to shift blame, but it's second nature to this president to shift so much blame," Cavuto said. "The shift has really hit the fan -- the president is shifting so fast." Cavuto pointed out that Trump blamed President Obama for the 0 percent interest rates his Fed chairwoman, Janet Yellen, instituted, but is going after Powell for the opposite action. 1 Like |

It’s somewhat surprising that, since he became president about 19 months ago, his approval rating amongst Republicans has hovered between 78%-90%. To me, it appears that the Mueller investIgation, and some other gaffes and missteps by Trump, have barely shaken Republicans’ belief in him. 2 Likes |

"It's dehumanizing" Wow! So it's OK to label those on the Right as fascists, Nazis, Xenophobes, Russian Bots etc and of course Deplorables (to name a few, which in itself is dehumanizing to a large extent) But a meme such as this is enough to set the Left on fire?

TheShopKeeper: Per the bolded, It is obvious you don't understand a single thing about the workings of law, and the doctrine of legal reasoning that guides the courts on how they interpret cases and arrived at a ruling. Stormy's case was dead ab initio (from the beginning). Any libel suit that premise on bribery is always 90 percent dead on arrival because the entire burden of proving the guilt of defamation as claimed by the plaintiff against the defendant is almost too heavy a burden to discharged, considering that the alleging party appears to have been consensual at some point in the whole debacle leading to the primary fact in issue. The element of consent is always a major focus for the courts when drawing inference from various facts surrounding the primary fact in issue. Once they discover any hint of consent at some point in the course of events leading to the fact in issue, especially where the person alleging is of consensual age, the courts innate rule of legal reasoning comes in to play, and the chances of the alleging party succeeding is almost next to zero where the issue of payment is involved. The legal reasoning behind such position is that you cannot profit from your own wrong when the cards starts crumbling. So as the name implies, Stormy's case was one hell of a case full of storms that's only headed for failure from day one because; 1. She has nothing to proof and buttress her case 2. Even if she does, she can't prove that DT was knowingly and recklessly being false; hence her inability to shift the burden of proof on DT, and 3. There is the issue of consent at some point, giving her nature of job. From the beginning, her case was a massive failure, a disaster that should be called "hurricane Stormy", the hooker who have to pay to get laid. At the bolded, what do you mean by her real case isn't dismissed yet? Are you serious? Ask yourself; what were the factors that necessitated the case for the alleged hush payment? Isn't that what the court just dissected and casted away like a fly in a glass of drinking water? So on what premise would her case for the suppose hush payment lies now? You tell me. Or is there a rule or law in the US legal jurisdiction that says you can treat a case without a fact in issue? Liberal democracy is indeed a record breaker. Face it, with that decision, her case and whatever related to the hush money is lost already. You even stated the obvious on how slim her chance of winning such a case represents, yet you still believe her "realp case" is not lost yet. That's wishful thinking, friend. But that's not all. The bad news is that these cases are creating a precedent that would have far reaching effects on other cases both now and in the future. As much as DT is concerned, any case that is brought against him in court would most likely be viewed by Judges as "politically weaponized cases", and the likelihood that such cases will be thrown out by the courts is increasing, as Trump keeps winning and the precedent keeps mounting. From all angles, it's a dead end for desperate liberals. The more they try, the more they keep making Trump famous. The ediots don't even know they are actually aiding his popularity and actively campaigning for him with all these senseless and baseless accusations. Very pathetic. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
