Donuel, I don't understand your intention in that last post. Could you explain it, please. On first reading, it almost seems like you are asking for violence as a remedy. Knowing your intent in other posts, I think that that is unlikely, although I could be wrong I suppose. :-)


In other news, Trump appears intent on having to air his dirty laundry in the hope of gaining successful legal action against Rupert Murdoch and he may be setting a trap for himself, see last two paragraphs:

"Trump asks for swift deposition of Murdoch in Epstein defamation case

"Donald Trump has asked a US court to order a swift deposition for billionaire Rupert Murdoch in the US president's defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over an article about Mr Trump's links to Jeffrey Epstein.

"The case relates to a July 17 article in the Journal asserting Mr Trump's name was on a 2003 birthday greeting for the late financier and sex offender.

"The day after it appeared, the Republican president sued the Journal, its owners, including Mr Murdoch, and the reporters who wrote the story, which said Mr Trump's letter included a sexually suggestive drawing and a reference to secrets they shared.

"Mr Trump's lawsuit called the alleged birthday greeting 'fake' and said the Journal published its article to harm the president's reputation."

...

"Legal experts say Mr Trump faces a high bar in proving the Journal defamed him, let alone collecting the $US10 billion ($15.3 billion) in damages he is seeking.

"The 'actual malice' standard means Mr Trump must prove not only that the article was false, but also that the Journal knew or should have known it was false."
