'Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.'

by Mary Trump

"Queens County Surrogate Court Judge Peter Kelly cited “several improprieties” in Robert Trump’s filing that rendered it “fatally defective”—including that it was based on the official disposition of patriarch Fred Trump Sr.’s estate, which wrapped up in 2001 and is thus for legal purposes “nonexistent.” That settlement included a confidentiality clause that niece Mary Trump signed, and which the elder Trumps have argued prevents her from publishing the sort of titillating family secrets her memoir is set to contain." DB

Looks like the Orange Menace lost his bid to block publication of his niece's tell all book.

So sad, too bad.

Trump is doomed. Sure, he can appeal, but it's not like upper courts have ever overruled lower courts in Trump's favor, right?

This always seems to be the first step. Trump tries to do something. Some lower court Obama appointee says he can't do that, and the appeals courts then step in and smack down the lower court. It happens a lot, actually. How's Judge Sullivan doing with that Flynn thingee by the way?

Fake facts Flynn flies free from perjury.
That's how being absolved of accountability works with this autocracy.

It ain't over, Biff. Last I heard it was going 'en banc'.

That's what I'd think if I was immersed in CNN.

A politician is like a city. You can do a photo montage that makes it look beautiful, or one that makes it look like a post holocaust ruin.

CNN is the king of the latter when it comes to Trump. It's actually fascinating. I was just telling my wife this morning that if all we saw regarding politics was CNN, we'd probably be voting for Alzheimer Joe too. I say that after watching a lot of CNN stuff on my youtube feed.

I'd probably also be a fanatic on wearing a mask in public and convinced tjat CV19 is just getting started.

Fortunately I have other sources.

BTW, The same can not be said of fox.They have plenty of things to ding Trump on. and do it all the time. CNN is unique in this. Well, maybe if I had MSNBC in my feed I'd feel the same way about them, but I don't.

This president is being overtly fought by the MSM more than any president in my lifetime. They really are going scorched earth on this one.

Interesting how this thread was deflected away from the OP subject by the first reply and the following replies followed the deflection even though there is another thread about the deflection's subject.

You're a Pied Piper, NI.

Well, to get back to the OP, I do think Trump is a dangerous man to those that would cross him. I think that the more capable a leader is, the more dangerous he is - to some people.

Fortunately for me, I think he's dangerous to people that have had it coming for a long time - Schiff, Pelosi, Biden, et al.

Those people got away with way too much for way too long. The "Good ol' boy" uniparty is not doing a very good job of protecting them.

He's dangerous like a good football coach is dangerous - to the other team. And not the desperate other team is going in to scorched earth mode. If it was basketball, they are doing a full court press on every play. If they were a football team, they are going for the hail mary on every play. It's looking sillier by the day. It will be a lot of fun come November.

The Sullivan thing is a hoot.

What's funny is my first reply was a direct response to the OP. A lower court ruling against Trump has become high comedy in my circles for well over a year. Sure, Trump doesn't win every time in the high court, but he usually does. The lower court judges are outing themselves at an alarming rate as low level partisan hacks. The desperation of the left is downright tangible - as all targets should be.

The Uniparty does indeed exist and being a RINO populist Trump threatens the status quo. As such, he is slighty more a threat to my rice bowl that a Uniparty President would be.
