Trump

[pritch]

Bill O'Reilly and Donald J Trump have announced a speaking tour for December. That seems a little odd because Trump is claiming that he'll be "reinstated" as president in August.

For anyone who may not be aware, O'Reilly was the top rated host on FOX until the channel and he parted ways over the latest sexual harrasment claims he was facing. In one instance he had to pay US$32 million to Lisa Wiehl, another FOX host. What the hell do you do to a woman to have to pay her 32 million?

Oh, and some tickets on this magical mystery tour cost $7,500 a head.



Update:

On checking ticket prices the range is from $100 to 7,500. Not that I'm going.

As time passes we get more glimpses into the alternate reality inhabited by Trump and his followers.

Wiehl's complaints "included allegations of repeated harassment, a non-consensual sexual relationship and the sending of gay pornography and other sexually explicit material to her." The story cited "people briefed on the matter."

My question was really intended as rhetorical but OK. So Bill expects us to believe he paid Wiehl 32 million to spare his children embarrassment? His children are younger than I thought, but they already had to give evidence against their father in a domestic abuse case so maybe they were tough enough to handle it.

That's an impressive list of colleagues Bill paid out in harrassment settlements, six of them. One of the others was $9 million the other amounts are unknown. It would have been soooo much cheaper to use upmarket prostitutes.

Without wishing to belabor the point, I thought that was the job definition of Fox newsreaders and "pundits"......

In addition to O'Reilly there was Ailes who also had to quit Fox over harrassment claims, so you may well be right.

We reportedly gave citizenship to Matt Lauer of NBC who had a button under his desk so that he could lock the door behind whoever was unfortunate enough to be in there with him. But OK he was rich, so welcome to NZ Matt.

That's a pity 'Cause he sure needed practice.

Multiple sources reporting that the Trump Organisation could be indicted as early as next week.

The Justice Dept is defending Trump in one case and there are indications they may defend him in others. This on the grounds that he was performing his duties as president. The Trump Organisation was not president so it's hard to see how the Justice Dept could get involved. Of course if the DA does incict Trump Org that puts his kids in the crosshairs as well.

From what i understand that sort of sexual behavior where they force the others into sex by indimidation factors like it seems him and some of Weinstein's victims is more about showing power than just sex.

Multiple news reports state that indictments have been laid against the Trump Organisation and long time CEO Weisselberg. The indictments remain sealed until Thursday US time.

It's unlikely that these charges will be all that arise out of this grand jury hearing, the hearings are about one month into a scheduled six months. It seems possible that this is more about pressuring Weisselberg to flip on Trump.

You couldn't invent a better name. I'm rereading the fabulous The way of the Weasel , Dilbert management book. He would have creamed himself to include that guy somehow.

The New York DA and AG are thought to be considering charging Trump under anti-racketeering laws, they have the guy who wrote the book on the NY anti-racketerring laws on their team. It would seem that one of the lawyers on Trump's team is there to counter this if it eventuates. He has extensive history defending Mafia members.
