Uh huh. So the corporations are going to protect your 'constitutional rights'?

Yes...they make the guns too. I like corporations...never got a job from a poor man.

And also banned them from making political donations.

In Canada, they try to give the foreign corporations money so the jobs won't leave.

Not for long. Trump never built anything here. He simply rented out his name, a name which is no longer associated with class, but with sleaze and ignorance. I predict they'll be renamed by end of year.

Actually, Trump's family fortune began by selling sex and booze in Canada...during the gold rush.

New hotels may be named "Scion" to attract a younger demographic.

Might want to go back and see how many women sued Bill Clinton...he was impeached...but still served two full terms.

In this case, Trump is threatening to sue them. The Times in particular will be able to subpoena all his reality show tapes and financials. I don't think he would like that.

Quote

Dear Mr. Kasowitz:

I write in response to your letter of October 12, 2016 to Dean Baquet concerning your client Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for President of the United States. You write concerning our article “Two Women Say Donald Trump Touched Them Inappropriately” and label the article as “libel per se.” You ask that we “remove it from [our] website, and issue a full and immediate retraction and apology.” We decline to do so.

The essence of a libel claim, of course, is the protection of one’s reputation. Mr. Trump has bragged about this non-consensual sexual touching of women. He has bragged about intruding on beauty pageant contestants in their dressing rooms. He acquiesced to a radio host’s request to discuss Mr. Trump’s own daughter as a “piece of ass.” Multiple women not mentioned in our article have publicly come forward to report on Mr. Trump’s unwanted advances. Nothing in our article has had the slights effect on the reputation that Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions, has already created for himself.

But there is a larger and much more important point here. The women quoted in our story spoke out on an issue of national importance – indeed, as an issue that Mr. Trump himself discussed with the whole nation watching during Sunday night’s presidential debate. Our reporters diligently worked to confirm the women’s accounts. They provided readers with Mr. Trump’s response, including his forceful denial of the women’s reports. It would have been a disservice not just to our readers but to democracy itself to silence their voices. We did what the law allows: We published newsworthy information about a subject of deep public concern. If Mr. Trump disagrees, if he believes that American citizens had no right to hear what these women had to say and that the law of this country forces us and those who would dare to criticize him to stand silent or be punished, we welcome the opportunity to have a court set him straight.

Sincerely,
David E. McCraw

He won't sue. But I hope he does.

He won't sue.

Trump's reality television productions have multiple producers and rights ownership. Trump would gladly trade all the lawsuits for a stint in the oval office.

They could still be subpoenaed, they are relevant evidence in a liable suit. I think the Trumpster will be buried under subpoenas if he starts suing for libel.

No, it means President Obama is telling Clinton to stop attacking his FBI and get back to attacking Trump.

Pretty lukewarm defense, and all he said was he didn't think Comey did anything to 'intentionally' influence the election. What the talk shows have been saying about the Hatch act is it doesn't have to be intentional. He could still wind up being charged. And in any case, I think we know he's gone as soon as Clinton gets in.

“The president believes that our democracy has been very well served for more than two centuries by officials at the Department of Justice and the FBI observing longstanding traditions that limit public discussion of investigations, whether an election is around the corner or not,”

Hard to read that as anything but a criticism of Comey.

CNN drops Brazile for feeding debate questions to Clinton

http://nypost.com/2016/10/31/cnn-drops-brazile-for-feeding-debate-questions-to-clinton/

Wow, more bad news for Hillary Clinton. Seems Donald Trump was right, Hillary got the debate questions beforehand. And now, this woman has been fired from CNN.

Why did Hillary even accept the questions? What kind of a person would accept the questions leaked to her before the debate, knowing that the opponent is not getting a copy, and then proceeds to prepare her answers? A person without morals, a very crooked person.

The New York Times had a slightly different interpretation of the press secretary's remarks:

Quote

Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, said on Monday that the White House did not have an official position on Mr. Comey’s decision to alert Congress. But Mr. Earnest came close to suggesting that President Obama saw Mr. Comey’s decision as problematic. Mr. Earnest listed the many powers and authorities that federal law enforcement officials have to investigate for potential wrongdoing and then said, “It’s important that those authorities are tempered by longstanding practice and norms that limit public discussion of facts that are collected in the context of those investigations.”

Mr. Earnest added: “And there are a lot of good reasons for that. The president believes that it’s important for those guidelines and norms to be followed.”

One has to think that Comey is ready to be done with this anyway. I don't think there is or was any way Hillary would keep him so he might as well save his integrity (Unlike Lynch).

CNN will cover it, but they'll surely find a way of separating Hillary from the scandal.

It helps to keep the focus on Clinton's problems, and off of Trumps. Huma Abedin has been grounded until further notice.

I presume she will be let go. Unfortunate given her close relationship with Hillary. But that's politics.

Sure, they did, and they have found nothing to suggest Trump has ties with the Russians.

The Democrats don't have a leg to stand on, as they would have to prove Comey disclosed the information on the renewed investigation for political reasons.....
