Donald Trump threatens to sue New York Times over sexual harassment report

Lawyers for Donald Trump have called on The New York Times to retract a bombshell report in which two women claimed that Trump had touched them inappropriately.
The Times story featured two women, Jessica Leeds and Rachel Crooks, who said that Trump made inappropriate physical advances on them despite the fact that they had never met before. CNN has not been able to independently confirm their accounts.
"Your article is reckless, defamatory and constitutes libel per se," Marc E. Kasowitz, a lawyer representing Trump, wrote in an open letter to Times executive editor Dean Baquet. "We hereby demand that you immediately cease any further publication of this article, remove it from your website and issue a full and immediate retraction and apology. Failure to do so will leave my client with no option but to purse all available actions and remedies."
The letter lacks any substantive facts to cast doubt on the Times story, and is not a lawsuit.
High-ranking sources within the Trump campaign had told CNNMoney that they were "drafting" lawsuits against both the Times and The Palm Beach Post, which published a separate story in which another women claimed Trump had groped her.

Trump can also sue the women for the libel, and should.
If it is not true, going straight into court on it is precisely the way to fight it. It will mature Sullivan as a case WHILE Trump is President WITH a Trump-appointed majority on the Supreme Court.
Trump said that he wanted to see Sullivan overturned, and this suit gives him the vehicle by which to overturn it - a lawsuit involving HIM, which HE can choose to force all the way to the Supremes, on which HIS appointees sit. Sullivan could be significantly altered, and THAT would really pull the fangs out of the press when it comes to practicing false, partisan journalism.
Of course, for all of that to be true, he has to WIN.

Thanks to Trump's opening his God damned big mouth about his star power enabing him to grab pussy, half the female shills in the Democratic party can invent stories and they'll be accepted as true and in character. They'll be happy to do it to get Hillary elected, and to be the center of attention for a while. Meanwhile, Hillary's role as an enabler and apologist for Bill's escapades will be forgotten or overlooked.

There may be a valid argument that the NYT published in reckless disregard for the truth.

Has the armrest (divider) in first class ever been able to be lifted?
Donald Trump has flown in one of his own private jets for a very long time.

True dat. For now, it may take some wind out of the Times' sails. The Times may well have been punked.

It is imperative that Trump win this election because control of the courts - meaning the future of the nation - is in the balance.

How do you justify Roberts' nomination by GWBush?

Justify it? I don't . I condemn it, just as I condemn W's attempt to foist Harriet Myers on the Court, his father's placing Souter on the Court, and Reagan's placing O'Connor and Kennedy on the Court.
I condemn the Republican Supreme Court for having imposed Roe v Wade, Casey and Kelo on the country.
Republicans have for the most part being lying turds, saying they are one thing to get elected, but acting in the interests of other groups who give them money.
Democrats are straightforward about their liberal lock-step "progressive" march. Republicans lie about it.
We know that Hillary will give us another Ginsburg or Sotomayor.
Trump has shown us who he will appoint. It's a list of really conservative jurists.
Trump is not either of the Bushes or Reagan. Those three all believed in free trade, for instance, and they connived at getting pro-choicers on the court. Trump does not believe in free trade and is a pro-lifer: his list of judges are pro-lifers.
Roberts is on the court because W connived at getting him on the court. Nothing more.
Republicans cannot be trusted. Trump was not a Republican until a few years ago, when he decided to run for President. He is much more to the center than Republicans - they generally favor the super rich.

I didn't care about Clinton's Lewinsky, and I don't care if Donald Trump really does just "grab 'em by the pussy".
Women who hang around powerful men do it because they want the perks that go with it. The price of those perks is sex. That's the REASON the men pay for those women to have all of those parties and nice things.
In other words: the women who hang around powerful men, party with them, etc., are doing it for money - even if the money is in an indirect prestige- and-entertainment form - and the men are paying for all of that because they are looking for sex. And the women know it.
I don't care what the law says about it - it's prostitution and always was, and I don't care about the feelings of prostitutes when they are on the job.
"Dinner and a movie", the traditional "price" for the possibility of action later, is prostitution.

What is in Wikileaks is much more relevant, and who gets to nominate the next Supreme Court justices a great deal more important. Which is why the MSM and liberals want to talk about pussy.
