Wouldn’t that be fun?’: Listen to Trump rally Republican donors with threats to sue CNN over Russia

lly-republican-donors-with-threats-to-sue-cnn-over-russia/
Below is a partial list that we hope to make comprehensive of folks whom Trump has threatened to sue since he ran for president. If you’ve been on the receiving end of a threat, or know of some person or group who was, email me at ryan@huffingtonpost.com and we’ll add it to the list.
Meanwhile, enjoy this fabulous Trump clock, which counts the amount of time since he last threatened to sue anybody.
The New York Times
Trump said he was going to sue the Times for publishing details about his tax returns. Lawyers laughed off the threat, and he never followed up on it.
America
If he loses the election and feels he was wronged, Trump has vowed to sue.
Women who accuse him of sexual assault
Trump used his address in Gettysburg over the weekend to say that one of his first acts as president will be to sue all of the many women who are accusing him publicly of sexual assault or harassment. The threat is unlikely to be acted upon, but it serves to intimidate other women from coming forward. It doesn’t appear to be working, as new women who say he assaulted them emerge nearly every day.
Ted Cruz
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was not a natural-born citizen, Trump argued, and therefore ineligible to run for president. Trump suggested he’d sue to keep him off the ballot.
The Republican National Committee
Trump warned officials at the RNC they would be “in default of their pledge” if they didn’t step in and tell Cruz to play nice with him. He also threatened to sue the RNC over delegate allocation in Louisiana, because he’d been outmaneuvered on the ground by opponents.
Tony Schwartz
The author of The Art of the Deal told The New Yorker that Trump is a cretin who shouldn’t get anywhere near the White House. Trump threatened to sue.
The Washington Post
At a rally in February, Trump turned to his favorite topic: the media. “If I become president, oh, do they have problems. They’re gonna have such problems,” Trump said of The New York Times, before speaking in more general terms.
“One of the things I’m gonna do … is I’m gonna open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money. We’re gonna open up those libel laws,” he said. “So that when The New York Times writes a hit piece which is a total disgrace, or when The Washington Post … writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money, instead of having no chance of winning because they’re totally protected.”
People magazine
It was actually Melania Trump who threatened People, but her husband would no doubt be along for the ride.
An anti-Trump T-shirt maker
Trump sent a cease-and-desist letter to a company producing T-shirts that made fun of Trump.
A British student nightclub
This month, a couple of mates put together a poster depicting Trump as a scary joker. He didn’t laugh and threatened to sue.
Univision
“I’m right now suing Univision for $500 million,” Trump said in July 2015, while attacking a Telemundo reporter. He filed the lawsuit after Univision dropped his beauty pageants in response to his remarks about Mexicans being rapists, which Univision said “destroyed the value” of his brand. They settled for undisclosed terms.
José Andrés
He sued the celebrity chef for cutting ties with him in the wake of Trump’s Mexican rapist comments.
Club for Growth
The conservative group tried to galvanize the #NeverTrump movement with a million dollars’ worth of ads against him during the GOP primary. He’ll

CNN didn't threaten to "sue" anyone, they threatened to "dox" him.
Trump is a blowhard and a bully. But we all knew that. And please don't say that I'm changing my mind about Trump, otherwise I'll have to go back into my old posts and drag up even more negative things I've said about Trump and shove them up your ass.
But what does that have to do with CNN publishing fake news?? If you don't trust Trump (and you shouldn't) then you shouldn't trust CNN either. They're at about the same level, yanno?
BTW- one of the fascinating aspects of the Trump Presidency is that it's as if a big rock in DC got kicked over, and now we see all the squirmy things underneath ... the squirmy things in the press, the crawlies in the security-state, the wigglies in oligarchies, and of course the creepy things in the WH. Hardly anybody is clean!
What a party!

Let's just imagine if the tables were turned, and Trump threw a fit over a GIF image that somebody made, had a team hunt down the person on taxpayer dollars and bullied him into apologizing to the world for it.
Then Trump made a statement saying that he is not going to give out the person's private information because they apologized for it and swore that they would no longer engage in that behavior online.
But then concluded the statement saying "I reserve the right to make his information public if he goes back online and does it again".
That is bullying. That is petty. That is most likely illegal.
If CNN doesn't fire Andrew Kaczynski over this, they're done.
Not that I even think that it's Andrew's fault. He just did what he was being paid to do. But if they don't even feel the need to fire him now that this has blown up in their face it's over for CNN.

The CIA News Network (CNN)
There goes CNN showing its clown ass again. ...
Has the smoke cleared yet?
As a much younger man and wacky artist in a previous life I would have many occasions to visit the Time Life building in Alexandria VA delivering 'copy and paste-up boards' to the art departments at various publications. ....... I noticed right away that the place was always over run with spooks and spook spin doctors. ..... They were everywhere, all of the time. .. In the halls, in meetings with editors and writers and lurking in the stairwells. ...... You would go to the men's room and there would be Odd Job picking rat fur out of his teeth in the mirror after a quick lunch in the alley. ... You would get in an elevator and some James Bond looking squirrelly dude would be adjusting the ankle holster for his little Beretta 380 between floors. Probably on his way to waving it at some editor in chief for not towing the line.
A little nudge here, a little intimidation over there, some tickets to a Hawaiian vacation in an envelope. ... Trust me, I've seen the title to cute little beach house in Florida change hands for NO apparently good reason other than somebody changed a few lines in a fucking 'fictional' spy novel before it went to press.
The Time Life place was a spook zoo. And then Warner bought in and the reporting really turned to shit. ..... The same with the Washington Post Building downtown DC, the CIA's home away from home.
The IC has plenty of money and resources to make the story anything they chose. ........ It's almost as if they personally know some master counterfeiter and can order a batch of cash any time they want. (Yes, that's a joke,..........NOT! ... They just the US Printing Office and official printing plates to keep the quality up.)
My point is, the Intelligence Community has been thoroughly controlling everything you see, hear and read in news papers, magazines, books, TV and on the radio. ... I have always known we were being fed a certain amount of "Ra, ra, ra, USA, USA!" spin, but you can only spin something just so much before parts start flying off of the cobbled up bull crap sandwich they slap together.
I stopped watching TV a long time ago.
Once you see sausage being made it's hard to enjoy a Jimmy Dean Breakfast Puppy (Tm). ...... You know what I mean, Vern?
I used to have the Sunday Wapo delivered way out at my home in the sticks and I would skim the headlines and then go straight to the Comics Section and Doonsbury and Calvin and Hobbs to get the gory details on current events. .......... I would use Larson and The Far Side as my Editorial Opinion guru source of wisdom in depth analysis.
Fiction and comedy are the only way to get the truth out past the CIA news control board. ... The CIA are good at two things. .... Stealing shit and lying. ... Or forcing other people to lie for them.
Anyone who doesn't think the media is totally spook controlled and that they are constantly blowing smoke up your arse for completely nefarious, evil, selfish purposes should have the batteries checked in their little smoke alarm near the exit sign. ... It may have been smoke damaged and totally defective by now if fresh batteries don't help.
Live Hard, Apply The Reverse News Rule Often,....If CNN Says Something Is Big, Ugly And Yellow It Is Probably Little, Cute And Purple, Die Free

Rachel Maddow Caught In Latest Fake News Scandal; Proof Her "Forged NSA Document" Segment Was A Hoax
She thought she had it. The smoking gun that would prove someone in Trump's campaign colluded with the Russians to steal the 2016 election. But, when a forged NSA document sent to Rachel Maddow turned out to be just more bad information from more anonymous sources, it left the crusading MSNBC host feeling a bit "triggered." As such, she opened her show last night with the following segment:
“Somebody, for some reason, appears to be shopping a fairly convincing fake NSA document that purports to directly implicate somebody from the Trump campaign in working with the Russians in their attack in the election."
“This is news, because: why is someone shopping a forged document of this kind to news organizations covering the Trump-Russia affair?”- Maddow
...
Here are more details of Maddow's show from the Daily Caller:
On June 7, an unidentified person sent documents to an online tip line for Maddow’s show, she said. That was two days after The Intercept published legitimate NSA documents that were stolen by Reality Winner, a contractor for the agency.
And that's where Maddow's faux-outrage breaks down. You see, if it's clear that Maddow received her forgery after the intercept published their documents then there's really no 'there' there. Pretty much anyone with an internet connection could have simply taken the Reality Winner documents from The Intercept website and used them create a forgery to send to Maddow.
Of course, Maddow knew that her whole story was bullshit unless she could convince her viewers that the forgery she received was created before The Intercept published it for the world to see. If she could prove that, then she could insist the forged document must have come from someone on the 'inside.'
So, she decided to get 'technical' and take a look at the "metadata" on the document she received. As it turns out, the "creation date" on the document she received was roughly 3.5 hours before The Intercept published their Reality Winner story. See, it's all laid out right here on this lovely timeline graphic. Checkmate, Mr. Trump!
Except, not. Ironically, by stretching the truth in an attempt to prove that her story was in any way relevant, Maddow unwittingly proved exactly the opposite.
As The Intercept has subsequently pointed out, the "creation date" on the document received by Maddow (see the timeline above) perfectly matches, to the exact second, the "creation date" on The Intercept's Reality Winner document.
Why? Because that is the exact time in which The Intercept created their document and published it to their cloud server.
So, what seems ... likely to have happened here is that Maddow's staff could easily tell the "NSA document" was a forgery from the start and simply ignored it at first. After all, she received the document on June 7th and is just now deciding to talk about it a month later? Unlikely.
But, when 3 journalists from CNN lost their jobs for publishing fake news, Maddow saw an opportunity to launch a whole new narrative attacking the Trump administration by alleging that they're planting fake intelligence reports with the media. Never let a good crisis go to waste...as they say.
Edward Snowden summarized the situation the best in a series of tweets:
Maddow's lawyerly defense of why her implication was wrong is disappointing. Such caution should come prior to raising alarm on national TV.
When the media's credibility is under attack, rushing stories out before checking facts and contacting the subject is hard to comprehend.
That said, journalism is hard and mistakes happen. When they do, as in this Maddow case, apologies should be frank and unequivocal.
When we start getting economical with facts, we lose. This important story was mangled byNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

I don't think you understand how Corporate Media works. They'll do great as long as Trump is president - he's a nuclear tornado avalanche waiting to happen and people can't look away. Boring Hillary would have sunk them to having to double their Genie Mose segments and expand their "entertainment" features. Trump is tv gold.
BTW - Turns out CNN producer never threatened "the kid" (who was an adult). More pro-Trump anti-FreePress bullshite.
And now he's facing death threats:
"Those tensions may have reached a fever pitch this week, as The Daily Beast reported that Kaczynski and his family are facing harassment and death threats, and CNN staffers have begun to fear for their safety."
Take that for what it is, fake or real - all normal in the Land of Trump.
==============================
I'm losing?
I don't see how that is possible, even in the way that you intended it to mean.
This isn't my war. I'm just sitting on the side lines spending my $5k or so a year, not working for somebody else, engaging my hobbies and really whatever the hell I want to do and actually enjoying it now that I'm not piss drunk every other day and I'm just watching the idiots eat each other.
Make no mistake though, that if we were on different sides in your so-called "war", you would be the one who is losing now.
Just look around you.
I'm perfectly okay with the direction things are going right now.
I'm not the one losing my shit.
Everything is copacetic.
