Trump Loses Attempt to Toss Eddy Grant’s ‘Electric Avenue’ Lawsuit Singer sued Trump in September for his campaign’s use of the song
A judge ruled Tuesday that a copyright lawsuit brought by “Electric Avenue” singer Eddy Grant against former President Donald Trump can go forward. The parties are now expected to proceed to discovery.

U.S. District Court Judge John Koeltl rejected Trump’s motion to dismiss, which said the song’s use in an online ad for Trump’s unsuccessful re-election bid was “a different and transformed purpose from that of the original Song” and was useable due to fair use. Koeltl said the use was essentially “wholesale copying of music to accompany a political campaign ad.”

If Trump had to pay court costs for all his frivolous lawsuits, he'd be billions in debt.
Instead, WE pay that bill, because - he cheats. At everything.

Former President Donald Trump's presidential campaign has been ordered to pay nearly $1.3 million in legal fees to former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman by a New York court arbitrator.

The award, handed down on Tuesday, comes after Trump filed a complaint against Manigault Newman over her 2018 book, "Unhinged: An Insider's Account of the Trump White House," in which she called Trump a racist and suggested that he was in "real and serious" mental decline.

A source with the Trump campaign told ABC News that Trump intends to appeal the ruling.

Donald Trump held in contempt in New York attorney general’s investigation

New York judge holds former president in contempt of court for failing to comply with a subpoena for documents
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

A New York judge has held Donald Trump in contempt and fined him $10,000 a day, following the former president’s failure to hand over documents to prosecutors investigating his business practices.

Letitia James, the New York state attorney general, had asked for the contempt finding this month stating that Trump had not complied with a subpoena requiring him to produce documents and information.

James’ civil investigation has focused on whether the Trump Organization misstated the values of its real estate properties to obtain favorable loans and tax deductions. Earlier in April James said investigators had found “significant evidence” of wrongdoing.

Judge Refuses to Purge Contempt Order Against Donald Trump, as New York AG Sets Deposition Date

A Manhattan judge refused to formally purge a contempt order against Donald Trump on Wednesday, following months of bitter wrangling over the adequacy of the former president’s compliance with the New York attorney general’s subpoenas in a fraud investigation.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron indicated that he did not want matters to escalate to that point.

“It’s not my goal, my role to hold people in contempt,” Engoron declared at the start of Wednesday’s proceedings.

However, the judge ultimately elected to leave his order in place more than a month later, finding that Trump still hasn’t produced crucial documents to which New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) was entitled.

And the movie they make of the day Isla Trump is repossessed for failure to pay.... Jimmy Kimmel as Trump. Lisa Lampanelli as Melania. Skeletor as Giuliani
Eric as Eric. Just don't tell him it's a movie.

Can you imagine if he did such a thing and the MAGAts started immigrating to his island nation? His screams of "I don't want those low class losers in my country" would reverberate throughout the gawdy halls of his palace.

This gives me a thought. Will Trump flee to some other country to seek asylum? I'm guessing Russia.

Vladimir Putin could practice his English on him, and Trump could learn some Russian. Like Я хочу кошки (Ja khochu koshki) and Нэнси Пелоси — собака (Nensi Pelosi — sobaka).

Naive translations of "I want some pussy" and "Nancy Pelosi is a bitch".

Trump Drops an Utterly Unhinged Harangue to Celebrate Himself on the 4th of July

There is nothing more predictable than Donald Trump turning the focus of any and every public event or commentary to himself. He is a textbook example of a malignant narcissist for whom all ...
www.dailykos.com www.dailykos.com

The rants that Trump posted cover a narrow range of topics mainly devoted to his "Big Lie" that the 2020 presidential election was 'rigged" and "stolen" from him. Never mind that after 20 months, and sixty court challenges, he has failed to produce a shred of evidence. What follows are some of his key points, with reality-based annotations:

Trump began by assailing the Republican vice-chair of the Committee as "despicable human being Liz Cheney." As usual, he is incapable of factually rebutting anything that she has said, so he resorts to childish name-calling.

He complained that "HER Fake Unselect Committee may recommend CRIMINAL CHARGES against" him. If he really believes the Committee is "fake," then why is he so worried about the charges?

He repeated his ridiculous boast that he "got more votes than any sitting President." So what? He also got fewer votes than Joe Biden. You know, the winner. And both candidates got large vote totals because the population - and the electorate - are bigger.

He's thinks the Committee should "press charges instead against those that cheated on the Election." They would if that weren't a figment of his perverse imagination. He's tried dozens of times to assert his cheating claim in court. And he lost every case, even those with Republican judges.

Returning to his name-calling, Trump lashed out at "the highly partisan Unselect Committee of political Thugs." Of course, the Committee has two very conservative Republicans. Although there is a partisan aspect to the witnesses who have testified against him. They are all Republicans.

Naturally, he had to unleash his objections to the "Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax # 2, the 'No Collusion' Mueller Report and, overall, the GREATEST WITCH HUNT IN THE HISTORY OF THE USA." True to form, everything that Trump doesn't like is either a hoax or a witch hunt.

He wants the Committee to "go after the people who have been rioting." That's exactly what the Department of Justice is doing. In fact, some 800 of them them have already been arrested for storming Congress and trying to overthrow the government, at Trump's behest.

Then he adds "No, let’s get 'Trump'!" Don't worry, Donald, they'll get around to you. Also, why do you put your own name in quotes, as if it's a fictional reference?

Finally, Trump says that "none of these terrible events would have happened if I were President!!!" First of all, it's good to see him admit that he is not president. But it's preposterous for him to claim that the events he's griping about, most of which he is responsible for, wouldn't have happened were he still occupying the White House. And he was responsible for many other horrendous events when he was there as well.

And that was Trump's 4th of July message to America. That was what his glassy-eyed cult disciples regard as a patriotic address. But then what else would you expect from the guy who refused to visit a war memorial for American soldiers because he considers them to be "losers" and "suckers"?

I'm sorry, but you failed to correctly name the charges. See, all those offenses he did are *.-while-white-and-wealthy.

The maximum penalties for these things are "slap on the wrist with a limo noodle".

The fact that you want a rich white man to get a slap on the wrist is dictator level behaviour on par with what Hitler did. :mad:
