More conspiraloon bollocks from the anti-Trump brigade.

Expert Warns Trump May Be Planning False Flag Attack On US - YouTube

Yeah yeah, sure George...

There is a precedent - Gleiwitz. Another right-wing leader got what he wanted from that. Why should the worst living example of humanity be any different?

I'm just inclined to say "the boy that cried wolf" with all this empty bollocks emanating from the likes of Occupy Democrats &c.

Schrödinger's warmonger; pausing strikes on Iran because he doesn't have enough Patriot missiles to defend against all those missiles he destroyed months ago.

What a useless, lying cunt, he is.

They’re claiming Biden depleted the missiles and that it’s a lie that the missiles are depleted.

Hmm

Capital One Financial hit back on Friday against a lawsuit over its ⁠decision to close the Trump ⁠Organization’s bank accounts ​years ago, stating that it did so after a review by anti-money-laundering experts.

The disclosure marks the first time a bank has formally tied money-laundering concerns to Donald Trump’s family business. Capital One is seeking to dismiss the case by casting doubt on claims of illegally debanking – or denying services on religious or political grounds – the Trump Organization...

There seems to be a link between dodgy cunts and right-wing politics. Who could have guessed?

Trump accuses oil companies of ‘making too much money’ from his war on Iran

"Hey! Only I'm allowed to make money from this!"

[Abernathy]

Apparently, Donald Trump has a “neckgina”.

[soulboy]

Technically, a neckulva.

Practically, it's just a cunt.

Trump team pushes to block court order giving BBC access to financial records

Trump’s attorneys asked the court on Wednesday to temporarily pause the enforcement of the court order, arguing the BBC had demanded a “shockingly broad amount of information based on clearly political motivations”.

Trump’s lawyers also asked the court to amend their initial lawsuit to instead focus on the “reputation harm” that was caused by the documentary, which would keep necessary disclosures “proportional to the needs of the case”, the lawyers said.

Do I detect a hint of back-tracking here? If the stories about the nappies are true (which I don't believe they are), he must be filling them by now.

[Andy McDandy]

Looks that way. Reputational harm would be hard to prove though, given he was re-elected and an election is basically a test of one's reputation. And if they claim they mean his reputation overseas, they'd have to show that it was particularly higher before the broadcast than after.

This is the legal equivalent of the Nihilists at the end of The Big Lebowski, demanding money from the protagonists despite having no leverage over them, and the heroes having no means or reason to pay them. Just because they feel entitled to some money, and at this stage don't care who it comes from.

Indeed - he'd lose on that basis too.

Basically: he hasn't got a leg to stand on. Doesn't the US Court System have an equivalent of "vexatious litigation"?

Another toddler tantrum coming up

The US appeals court has blocked Donald Trump's $400m White House ballroom.

The federal appeals court ordered the Trump administration to stop ‌construction of the ballroom on the site of the White House's demolished East Wing.

The Washington-based US Court of Appeals for the District of ​Columbia Circuit upheld a preliminary injunction won by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Last year the non-profit sued ​after the administration tore down the East Wing and began building ‌a 90,000 sq ft (8,360-square-meter) ballroom without authorisation from Congress...


...Trump had appealed after US District Judge Richard Leon twice blocked above-ground construction on the site while allowing underground work to continue.

Leon, appointed by Republican former President George W. Bush, had ruled that no federal statute "comes close to giving the President" the required authority to construct the ballroom without congressional approval...

What a shame.

[Oboogie]

Presumably Trump will overrule by executive order and replace the judge with someone who does what they're told.

[Boiler]

Meanwhile, pathetic Democrats will wring their hands on YouTube and pin their hopes on the mid-terms. They're not saying much about Mitch McConnell, are they?

[Tubby Isaacs]

He can just carry on with the work illegally, but he can't get rid of the judge or overrule by executive order.

[Boiler]

Have they done anything about the Kennedy Centre yet?

No.

Utterly pathetic.
