"On Wednesday, Donald Trump told "Extra" that he will "probably sue" comedian Bill Maher if Maher does not pay Donald Trump $5 million he believes he is owed after Trump proved to Maher that his mother did not have sex with an orangutan." :laugh:

[cocodrilo]

Watching that clip with Elisabeth Hasselbeck, I see now why they call it The View.

[rivergator]

Trump's like some sideshow clown: Look at me!! Look at me!!!

[Emmitto]

I hope Trump wins and this sets precedent because I'll be owed mucho dinero! I've won several million dollar bets in this manner!!

[orangeblueorangeblue]

Making that threat could actually be illegal.

[Emmitto]

Making that threat could actually be illegal.

Trump's threat to sue? How so?

[cocodrilo]

Why can't Trump and Maher just fight it out in a Pay for View bout, with the proceeds going to charity (such as the U.S. Treasury)?

[gator10010]

Trump is the king of self marketing. Nothing will come of this.

[gator10010]

I bet Bill Maher no longer messes with the Donald when all of this is done.

[Emmitto]

Bet how much? Careful, this could be binding!

How about Megyn Kelly and Elizabeth Hasselback fight it out instead?


In a pit of baby oil, of course.

[orangeblueorangeblue]

Trump's threat to sue? How so?

If it's done with no actual intent to sue. That's obviously difficult to prove most of the time, but for a publicity hound like Trump I think it might be easier. :laugh:

Now that's some must see TV right there...

[Dreamliner]

They're both idiots, but at least Trump builds skyscrapers.

[Emmitto]

I see, thanks. And what is the rationale for not being able to make idle threats? Potential damage to the threatened by sponsors being scared away and such?

[gator996]

They're both idiots, but at least Trump builds skyscrapers.


Yeah, with your taxpayer dime...

[wgbgator]

They're both idiots, but at least Trump builds skyscrapers.

Trump has reproduced though, multiple times. Maher will die childless, and unwed. Not only do we have to contend with Trump's eyesores, but we also have to deal with his progeny. Advantage, Maher.

Good to know about Maher at least.

[Dreamliner]

Yeah, with your taxpayer dime...

I'm afraid you're confusing Trump with Bush, the guy you voted for a fourth term.

[gator996]

Trump hasn't built ANYTHING without tax concessions, preferred financing, kick backs, etc.

[exiledgator]

Trump hasn't built ANYTHING without tax concessions, preferred financing, kick backs, etc.

So, he didn't build that?

[corpgator]

Sounds like blackmail to me.

[wgbgator]

So, he didn't build that?

Well, he did put his name on it after all the work was done by someone else, so of course he built it. Kinda like a Glenn Beck book. :joecool:

[gatorman_07732]

It might be a clever why to shut mahr up

[DaveFla]

It might be a clever why to shut mahr up

He will never shut up. He's the liberal equivalent of Glenn Beck. He's a waste of perfectly good air.

[GatorNorth]

This stuff is what makes The Donald's blithering Twitter feed so much fun.

So much money........so little dignity.

[Emmitto]

Trump hasn't built ANYTHING without tax concessions, preferred financing, kick backs, etc.

I think he built the fence around that dude's house on the golf course in Scotland on his own dime. But then he did send that guy a bill, so maybe that doesn't count either.

Trump is a loser...

Satire is not actionable. See Bill O'Reilly & FOX News v. Al Franken.

[Gatorrick22]

Maher's like some sideshow clown: Look at me!! Look at me!!!

Fixed it for ya.

[vertigo0923]

donald trump is such a d**k.

[DaveFla]

Both of them are d**ks...

[gator996]

Yeah, but conservatives wanted to elect their d**k as their nominee for POTUS....

Maher is just a loud-mouth comedian...
(and a funny one at that...)
:laugh:

[northgagator]

Both of them are d**ks...

Now is the time for a good comment from Bill Murray.

[Jaggator]

donald trump is such a d**k.

:laugh: Where have you been? Have not seen you posting lately.

Glad our Verti has returned!

[DeanMeadGator]

Trump's like some sideshow clown: Look at me!! Look at me!!!

Look at how much money in taxes the sideshow clown is expected to pay.

[DeanMeadGator]

Yeah, with your taxpayer dime...

And he, of course, pays no taxes that are wasted on government folly. Kindly tell us what he is paid in taxpayer money, the deciding authority for the expenditure of such taxpayer money, how much money he borrows from banks and other lenders and how much of it is repaid with taxpayer money.

Damn entreprenuer. How dare he hire contractors, architects, engineers, laborers, landscapers, other middle class workers and purchase contruction materials from private businesses, etc. :laugh::laugh:

Here, you can read some of Trunp's exploits for yourself....

http://articles.latimes.com/2011/may/11/nation/la-na-trump-20110511



It is difficult to assess how much of Trump's complex empire has been built with the help of government munificence, since many of his projects remain shielded from view. But even a limited view demonstrates that government programs have bolstered Trump.

He has also curried favor with elected officials through campaign contributions and lucrative job offers. In the last election cycle, Trump contributed to individual campaigns and wrote large checks to political groups, including $170,000 to the Republican Governors Assn., $50,000 to the GOP-supporting American Crossroads PAC and $116,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan research organization.

His giving has long been carefully targeted. A 1980s study by Newsday found that Trump had donated more than anyone else to members of the New York City Board of Estimate, which at the time approved all land-use development. A recent study by New York's Public Interest Research Group showed that since 1999, Trump has donated $595,638 to the state's lawmakers.

Trump, 64, was launched into the world of million-dollar deals by his father, Fred C. Trump, who left a $250-million estate based partly on building government-backed housing for middle-income tenants in Brooklyn and Queens. Early in his career, Donald Trump abandoned his father's formula and instead made a name for himself developing luxury hotels and apartments in Manhattan. But like his father, he continued to rely on government incentives

[Emmitto]

Not so much. Maher went Bluto on Trump tonight.

[oragator1]

The best part of this story, and it's actually true...
In order to prove he wasn't the spawn of an orangutan, he sent Maher his short form BC. How awesome is that?

[DaveFla]

Ironic, huh?

I think that was planned. Slammed Maher on his outrageous claim by using a document Maher insisted was sufficient to prove eligibility for the US Presidency.


I would say that Maher got PWNED... Twice.

[vertigo0923]

It's a joke, you can't sue someone for making fun of you, nice way for trump to frivolously use the court. This ain't going anywhere for The Donald, besides making him look like an even bigger idiot! Bill maher is a zillion times more intelligent than trump. He's picking the wrong fight, and he forgot to release the original long version of his birth certificate, soI'm still not convinced he wasn't born to orangutan parents!!! I'll be watching this unfold with much amusement.

Donald Trump's lawsuit against Bill Maher is the 2013 version of his presidential run. It's The Donald's newest vehicle for the promotion of the next season of the Apprentice. As was the case with Trump's presidential candidacy, the lawsuit will probably be dropped within the next couple of months.

[GatorAvatar]

Trump is a patriot. Hope he sues that Marxist Obama lover Maher.

[altalias]

It sounds like an oral contract to me. However, I don't think Trump's proof is sufficient. It only proves that his mother claims his father was human. A DNA test should work though.

It's a short form, unsigned BC. We know those are all fake.

[jimgata]

Maher should be sued for being unfunny.It is a poor form of humor to base every joke on making fun of someone else. An imbecile can do that.

[gator996]

Political satire deserves to be sued?

Love censorship much?

12(b)(6). (http://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_12)This will have a short life.

[jimgata]

political satire? Maher? Huh? Is bad mouthing religion political satire?
Don't sue him for his comments, just for being unfunny.
True political satire doesn't attack one personally, but comments on policy and actions of politicians.
I guess one mans humor is another's total boredom.

[Tim85]

This is really it. Maher's form of humor isn't derived from wittiness, or a peculiar perspective on society that's unsual -- he's just uses irreverance,criticism, and borderline hatefulness - none of which is funny, to me at least. I suppose some Liberals like him because he's so incredibly left-leaning.

He's not even that clever...it's mostly personal insults that aren't even an intelligent turn on the issue he is intending to address. Ad hominem attacks for the most part.

A wise saying:

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

This applies to politicians and businesses alike. If you don't play the game, where we all end up losing, what happens? You don't get elected or your firm closes. Then what happens? A replacement by someone who plays the game.

[jimgata]

Sounds like Trump was at least legal making his fortune. We all know,or at least should know, how the Kennedy's got theirs.

[JohnC1908]

Trump is an ass and Maher disguises his hate with a laugh track. They deserve each other.

[DaveFla]

Yup. Add Jon Stewart into that odd Ménage à trois and they can go live happily ever after somewhere else.

[fairfaxgator]

Funny how you Pubs all of the sudden love the Trial Lawyers of America!

It's a frivolous lawsuit that some of you cannot comprehend.

What is this a race to the bottom?

Trump is an idiot and alot of the members of the current republican wanted him to run for president.

When Trump is a legit voice in your party...you got problems.

Not a race. Maher has them ALL beat.

[gator996]

Funny, last I checked Maher has moved on and Trump is still crying about an obvious joke...

...but then again Trump's been punk'd in public by Obama so maybe he just can't take getting whipped again.

[DaveFla]

Just like a rapist has "moved on" to the next victim, yet the first has not, huh?

Maher is an idiot. He got called out, and he folded like a cheap suit. Of the morons, Maher wins first place. In this instance anyway.

[jimgata]

I see absolutely no comment in any of these posts designating Trump as a spokesman for the rep party.
Damn , we sure have no reading comprehension skills in this country.

[Tim85]

Funny how you Pubs all of the sudden love the Trial Lawyers of America!

Funny how you assume "you pubs" just love Trump. How many people in this thread actually are Pro-Trump? I believe there's more anti-Maher sentiment here than pro-Trump.

[gatordee]

I bet Bill Maher no longer messes with the Donald when all of this is done.

Just the opposite. He is having a field day with it. Trump would have been better off to just shut up. Bill made him look like an idiot when showing the birth certificate and letter his lawyer sent in. Perhaps DT does not realize that orangutans and humans cannot have arangumans.

[DeanMeadGator]

I'm afraid you're confusing Trump with Bush, the guy you voted for a fourth term.

Please state the four terms that "you" [to wit, the American public] are referring to?

Is anyone concerned about what we are doing to the economic futures of our children and grandchildren?

Donald Trump On Beyonce's Halftime Show:
'Ridiculous' And 'Not Appropriate'

"Big surprise here: Donald Trump has slammed Beyonce's Super Bowl performance last Sunday because of what he called "suggestive" dancing and inappropriate behavior onstage. Appearing on "The Howard Stern Show" on Feb. 6, the 66-year-old real estate mogul said: "When Beyonce was thrusting her hips forward in a very suggestive manner, if someone else would have done that it would have been a national scandal. I thought it was ridiculous ... I thought it was not appropriate," he said."

Not part of the Pub platform...

I don't blame Obama for how he politics. He's an incredible politician. I blame Obama because his ideology is flawed and not rooted in logic.
