Someone should find out how many lawsuits these ignorant idiots have filed since coming into office!?? It seems the only thing they do wait besides blaming Biden and Obama for everything!

Peggy Garlock-Smith's avatar

Obama has not been in office for 10 years. Biden has not been in office since 2024. Yet somehow they are still to blame for what is happening right now! Amazing!!!

netta glaser's avatar

It seems that a large segment of Narcissism is to never admit you're wrong, strong suit with tRump!

Sharon C Storm's avatar

His mentor, Roy Cohn, told him to never admit he was wrong, and to always take credit for everything that works out.

Jan's avatar

Yep that sounds like the Republican cop out!

Beth Winfrey's avatar

Exactly what I heard as well.

chris lemon's avatar

These are not serious people, or rather, these are not bright people, the MAGA crowd. The admin and their henchmen have had literally decades of experience proving that no matter how inane the accusation, their "base" would believe it, if it showed up on Fox. It's not looking good for the overall concept of representative democracy.

James Byham's avatar

Ronald Reagan was blaming Jimmy Carter for stuff in 1988 .

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

They should ask the old psychiatrist question: are they in the room with us now? to them!

LeAnn's avatar

No they are to blame for what happened from 2008 to 2016 and from 2020 to 2024. Trump is taking credit where credit is due, and its for all the good stuff happening. Back off and let him do his job.

Robin D's avatar

Read Ka$h's Wikipedia. He's very litigious. (I was shocked to find out he was a.lawyer. public defender. Imagine this loser represting you) Mostly all of nis lawsuits over time have been dismissed, but he's sued CNN, NYT, Politico.and others. (Not having to do with this, but in the past). I am.telling you, you will need to shower after reading it if you have not already. He's so corrupt and he's a scammer.

djw's avatar

Probably why His Heinous likes him so much.

Phoenix213's avatar

" His Heinous" 😂 I love it!

Robin D's avatar

Very clever. I love the wit on these boards y from.commenters. it keeps me going.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

He bluffed his way into trump's orbit by pretending to be the Ukrainian expert when he was only a Nunes aide.

I'm sorry, Ethereal Fairy .

I saw your reply to my comment on We're Getting Hit with Patel's Hangover. But I could not find my comment nor your reply.

I suppose someone took exception to the fact that I pointed out a troll alert and had it removed and therefore I couldn't find your reply to like it.

But you are right in saying, Possible Russian bot, it is bot season from now until Nov.

I check profiles of suspicious comments. We need to be on our toes and shut them down.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Maybe we both got deleted. Thanks for being a good poster!

Phoenix213's avatar

I think you're right, especially if it was deleted after you replied to me.

Oh well, at least I blocked the troll before I posted the alert 😊

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Yes, I went back and checked and I couldn’t find it either.

Jan's avatar

It is so disgusting that a shower would not clean it up!

Robin D's avatar

I know. Repulsive. You have to scrub till your skin is raw. Like in the movie "Silwood" when she's contaminated by radiation and they scrubbed so hard she was in pain.

Erin Flanagan's avatar

Follow Mark Elias / Democray Docket here on Substack. The entire skinny.

Phoenix213's avatar

Do you have a link since I couldn't find him to follow.

Phoenix213's avatar

Thanks so much, Karen. 🕊

Why aren’t judges declaring these lawsuits frivolous and fining the lawyers?!

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

The lawyers bringing these bogus cases should be referred to the Board of Bar Overseers. Abuse of process is a serious offense.

Jan's avatar

And apparently takes a lot of time!

Karen Hoch's avatar

And avoiding the Epstein Files.

Jan's avatar

Yes, those files haven't been mentioned much since Trump declared his war!

djw's avatar

I stole it, but I was given permission to use it ex post facto.

Am's avatar

I believe the number is now around a hundred? Suing the government of which he is the executive, and his party controls the other branches, requires a special kind of ignorance and knee-jerk tantrum response. Most of the cases have been dismissed because they hold no merit or are unconstitutional. His first term was about stacking the courts: Supreme, Appellate, District, etc. This is where he lives his life--in court. His problem is that judges he placed during his last term were supposed to be loyal, but instead, several have done their real job and dismissed his cases. Regardless, these cases tie up our courts and judges time, keeping them from dealing with a docket of real human cases needing attention. Another way of screwing the People.

Jan's avatar

Who else would they blame? It certainly will never be the fault of trump or any of his appointees!

LeAnn's avatar

Hold on there! I seem to remember lawsuit after lawsuit against Trump for nothing. Bogus charges! But as is always the case, shoe is on the other foot and now all of a sudden you lefties have an opinion about who has the right to file a lawsuit. Would make me laugh if it wasn't so pathetic.

33RR's avatar

The lawsuits against Deplorable Don were very real and for very serious crimes. The evidence was mountainous and detailed. Read the indictments. Don’t forget he lost many times in court, with hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties and 34 felony convictions. He would be in prison now if not for the corruption and cover-ups of trumpworld. Just wait until they can no longer cover up the trump/Epstein crimes. Evil cannot hide behind fakery forever.

Linda Harris's avatar

Also, he was charged and found guilty of the rape of E. Jean Carroll. Then he slandered her name and was sued again by her and lost.

Jan's avatar

And she will never see a dime from trump!

Linda Harris's avatar

That man has never paid the people he owes money to in his entire life. His father had to step in more than once to pull him out of financial fiascos. The magas on this site crack me up.

Jan's avatar

Except they aren't as funny as they think they are!

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

He was NOT "found guilty of... rape." He was held LIABLE in a civil trial. Different thing, different burden of proof.

Linda Harris's avatar

Thank you but I still abide by the definition: Liable: responsible by law; legally answerable:

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Yes. But it does NOT mean "guilty." That is only determined in criminal trials.

netta glaser's avatar

According to the Judge what tRump did was rape, no penis involved!!

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Yes, he said that, but under New York state law he was found liable for "sexual assault," not rape.

Jan's avatar

Liable and guilty are pretty much the same thing!

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

No, not as far as the law is concerned. You can be found liable in a civil suit. The jury is to judge the "preponderance of the evidence." You can only be found guilty in a criminal trial. The burden of proof is "beyond a reasonable doubt." They are not at all the same thing.

LeAnn's avatar

All of her claims were proven to be lies

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

To the contrary, all of YOUR claims have proven to be lies. She WON both of her lawsuits against Trump for lying about her.

Nilla's avatar

LeeeeeAnn, that's nonsensical.

Yes, we're all upset, but we don't keep posting the same ALL CAPS diatribe over and over again. Do you have anything else to say?

netta glaser's avatar

Rather lengthy but I like that.

LeAnn's avatar

Yes, please, we would love to be ruled by sharia. My life dream, love the black hijabs, won't have a wardrobe dilemma, no asking myself what to wear today! Yeah!! Awesome!

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

You're a bigot as well? Not surprising. There is NO attempt -- zero, none -- to have the US impose "sharia" law.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

What were you smoking at the time? He was sued over his bogus charity... and lost. He was sued over his bogus university... and lost. He was sued for defamation by E. Jean Caroll TWICE... and lost BOTH times. Trump's a loser. All you MAGAts can do is lie about it. Why are you even following this substack?

Elijah’s Shadow's avatar

Because A.) Their bored. B.) Their knee jerk reaction is to defend him, regardless of the facts and proof staring presented to them. And C.) They’re confused and think this is Truth Social version 2.0.

Alison's avatar

Did you join BTC's substack just to be able to laugh at "lefties"? If you think the lawsuits against trump were bogus you aren't very well informed. Perhaps you should also join Joyce Vance's substack and learn the legal details of the lawsuits flying about.

SouthpawDE's avatar

Wow, LeAnn! Instead of coming on to BTC's site with your MAGA slams, why don't you ask yourself why you (especially as a woman) are still supporting a grifting, lying, billionaire-supporting conman, misogynist, sex abuser and pedo? Why, why, WHY? Girl, wise up.

Carol Swayze's avatar

LeAnn, I’m willing to listen but what charges do you think were bogus. As noted, I always felt the charges were valid. Which ones did you not find valid?

LeAnn's avatar

Jean Carrol lied for one. They charged him with fraud on a bank loan that was paid back and even the banks vouched for him, there was no harm, so there was no victims, no case. There are many others that were just meant to destroy him. The deep state doesnt like being caught with all their fraud and money laundering schemes being discovered. How else does someone like ilhan start in congress with a measly bank account and all od a sudden a few years later she's worth 30 million? Come on. Shes backing down from that, readjusted her numbers and now says it was an accounting error. Lol

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Carroll did not lie. She won BOTH of her cases against Trump. The bank fraud, IIRC, was for him overvaluating his property. He may have paid back the loan, but he got an interest rate he didn't deserve. But if you're talking about BOGUS lawsuits, Trump has filed very many of them, hoping -- as with ABC and CBS -- they'd rather settle out of court.

Jan's avatar

And he is suing the IRS for 10 million dollars because his tax files were released? Presidents and candidates release their files to prove they pay their taxes! Trump did not want his released for a reason! Now he wants US to give him 10 million? I don't think so!

LeAnn's avatar

Why did they settle? Because they knew he'd win. They were in the wrong.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

To the contrary, every legal expert said he would lose. They settled because they had other business (e.g., Paramount's sale) that they knew he could screw up. Both were widely criticized for settling such flimsy cases.

Do you even understand what you're posting or are you simply copying MAGAt talking points?

Jan's avatar

They didn't want to fight with him because he could pull their broadcasting licenses if he won or not!

Jan's avatar

What "Deep State"? Seems to me Trump is the leader of our current "deep state"!

LeAnn's avatar

You dont even know what the deep state is! 🤣🤣🤣

SouthpawDE's avatar

It's just a word you MAGAts usurped to fake-describe the "shadowy underworld of Democratic alliances with criminals" - did I get that right? LeAnn, you are tiresome. Your opinion doesn't matter here.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

They must mean derp state the one they inhabit.

Hootie63's avatar

Oh Leann bless you tiny little maggot heart!! If she lied why is he now an ADJUDICATED RAPIST and owes her 89.7 million dollars? You are just a pathetic maggot moron who defends this old lying rapist con man grifter! You are a sad excuse for an American and a woman who supports a rapist! Get over yourself trash!

As always TY for your info and perspective.

sheryl jeffries's avatar

Yes, we are. I can't believe he's still in charge. The FBI has suffered enough.

LeAnn's avatar

Certainly did, under Biden. At least now we see them working for Americans, uncovering rampant fraud, going after traffickers, etc. So glad we have a President that cares about America first

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

How much are you being paid to troll here? The FBI and the DOJ have lost numerous employees because of the weaponization and politicization by Trump and his minions. This did not occur under Biden. With you MAGAts every accusation is really a confession.

Jenny B's avatar

Hi LeAnn, you do realize that every comment you make, and every comment in response to yours, is helping the algorithm for BTC to have broader reach and more visibility, right? "High engagement on Substack signals the system to increase visibility on recommendation feeds, encouraging 'engagement loops' where more comments lead to greater reach". You might think you're owning the libs, but you're actually helping our cause. So thank you 😉. Keep doing you 👍👏👏👏

P.S. It looks like you single-handedly doubled the engagement on this post. Mad skills. Would you mind going on other liberal Substacks that need a boost and doing the same, please? Thanks! Much appreciated.

33RR's avatar

Check out the list of violent criminals, drug dealers, pedophiles, terrorists, and traitors that Deranged Don pardoned. And Ghislaine Maxwell’s pardon is in the works. It’s as if he’s sending a message to law enforcement - Don’t bother because I’ll pardon them anyway.

wlnelson's avatar

Oi think it maxwell gets a pardon, it will be challenged, she clearly does not warrant one

netta glaser's avatar

It is really too late to blame Biden or Obama for anything. The only thing or person tRump cares about is MONEY and HIMSELF

john vezzuto's avatar

And the same one twice.

wlnelson's avatar

He only did this because he was challenged on a tv news program.

MidwestGal's avatar

It is the distraction method used by this corrupt administration. every single person working at this god-awful White House is corrupt. Don’t care what they say, it’s what they do! Corrupt to their bones!

LeAnn's avatar

And bidens open borders was what? His bribing a foreign government to protect his son was what? My god you guys are such hypocrites. Im so glad you are the minority when it comes to loyalty, common sense and love of this country and freedom.

MidwestGal's avatar

Your tea leaves were processed in the White House in the Oval Office! so they don’t really count because, we all know that’s they where the lies, gaslighting, mischief, and the manipulation of stocks and bonds markets happens! The a collection of $1.4 billion last yea, goes to their private mafia family members! 🍊🐷s office its where the sausage, for the right, is made! Your party has a TACO Running the scheme!

President Biden was and is a man of integrity, class, and honors his oath! . Nothing you can say or do, bitch, can change any of this.! 😂🤣😂🤣🥰🥰

Mr. Cohen, you are Progressive indeed. I love that. And thank you for telling us clearly that all this bs about 2020 is nothing more than a pretext to intimidate voters and stares in coming elections. He started a terrible trend with his 2020 denialism, and he and likely subsequent republicans will use it to death. He is a mob boss who uses intimidation, threats, and lawsuits as his go to reactions. And I say reaction because everything is a reaction with him. He has the bandwidth and self control of a spoiled toddler. Thank you so much for your excellent analyses and reporting. We need to know what you write.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

It was already foreshadowed in 2016 when he lost the Iowa caucuses to Ted Cruz and claimed they were rigged.

Laura Buske's avatar

Here's the thing: he thought he had shit rigged for him to win in 2020. I think he's baffled that it failed him. I also think he's pissed he got set behind by 4 years when he's literally racing death to implement totalitarianism and destroy civilizations around the world. He doesn't deserve the air he breathes, but here we are. Because a bunch of hateful assholes just HAD to belive that some people are lesser for arbitrary reasons.

Erin Flanagan's avatar

The District Judges will need to sharpen their pens to relegate this shit-"argument" to dicta. The Trump regime, drunkasskash included, is "untethered to reality." (THANK YOU, Judge Boasberg!

Trish Wirth-Nugent's avatar

So NOW I understand WHY your coverage of current political events in this country, is so much more insightful, not to mention ahead of the game, than any of the other independent media reporters. You're going for the PATTERN bebind the event. Brilliant! Because the pattern tells the truth behind the activity, and it links the associated story with where EVERYTHING began, or is related to. And most reporters won't think about the pattern, because not everyone has that kind of"big picture" mentality (it used to be called Right Brained perspective). Keep it up and you're likely to get most of the country "addicted" to your style of reporting. Except, of course, those who prefer a "just the facts, ma'am" approach! 😉

As for old "deer in the headlights" Patel, many of us have wondered for a long time, just HOW he achieved that trademark look. Because severe alcoholism can't explain it, or our erstwhile Sec of Defense Kegsbreath would REALLY display that same look! But I digress...

I've been trying to guess what the next move would be with regards to Patel, because according to pattern, Trump doesn't actually FIRE men. They're the only ones he trusts, given his misogyny.

Your take on it being this run around with Patel bringing up going after all those who were "responsible" for Trump "losing" the 2020 election, hits the bullseye, because it's on Trump's FAVORITE subject, AND he LIVES for revenge, as EVERYONE knows.

The likelihood of Patel's gambit succeeding is slim, for ALL the reasons you listened. Stay tuned for further events, I guess! 😉

Edward Truncale's avatar

Here is a question nobody is asking.

August 10 2019 - Jeffery Epstein "hangs himself".

September 2019 - Trump pulls our scientists out of Wuhan China lab.

November 2019 - COVID-19 is discovered in a meat market in Wuhan China.

Coincidence? I think not!

Brian, I have a Brother-in-Law who worked as an editor for Hollywood Movies, even before all the magic of Digital and CGI have produced very real looking images and that is not even accounting for new A I that fools people all the time.

He still believes that 9/11 was an inside job. His eyes see a controlled detonation on the twin towers, because it looks like some of the buildings that have been blown up on purpose and filmed for all to see...

What to make of all this? "A man convinced against his will... or as Paul Simon remarked,

"Still, a man hears what he wants to hear. And disregards the rest."

For my Brother-in-law, it is his experience with film, not common to the average person, that gives him a 'special insight'. Some secret knowledge that allows him to "disregard the rest".

I'm afraid that Rudy, narrating the Mother and Daughter handling ballots in Georgia and passing

'a thumbdrive' between them, is just the sort of 'secret knowledge' that allows millions

to, "be of the same opinion still"...and ripe for the picking.
