New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) on Monday shot back at former President Trump after he took a swipe at her the previous day, saying she would not be bullied or intimidated.
Trump sent out a message through his Save America PAC that said, Happy Easter to failed gubernatorial candidate and racist Attorney General Letitia James.
(Snip)
In a Monday statement, Jamess office said Trump was entitled to defend himself in court.
However, this attorney general will not be bullied or intimidated by the former president, the statement continued. The courts have ruled time and time again that the offices investigation into Mr. Trump and his financial dealings is legitimate and lawful, and Attorney General James will continue to follow the facts and the law wherever they may lead. Nothing will dissuade her from pursuing justice.

How damn sorry do you have to be these days to face the accountability that us common folks face on a daily basis.

(3,407 posts)that the office of the AG does not bother to engage in children's play, or something of that sort. I think that would infuriate him more. Treat him like a child, because he is an evil child.

(5,195 posts)I know I would not give him the time of day. But, since I am no one, my dismissal of him is worthless. Which is interesting, as having us 'lowly peons' refuse to bow to his greatness is exactly what he needs to see.

(991 posts)There were two others, Cuomo and I forget the other one. Both their lives/ careers were pretty much destroyed. If they had not been vocal in the news about their criticism of tfg, I bet you theyd still be working at their jobs.
Tfgs reach is long and wide.
Cuomo? I believe you but Ive never had it put to me this way. Cuomos shit came down when he was gone, Trump that is. Even with Chris Cuomo it was after trump was gone.
I would love for you to get more detailed or send me the link.
Im saying this in a very interesting way zero sarcasm so please respond to me privately or here

(991 posts)things go down.
Let me ask you something. Did you watch Cuomos daily televised talks which began at the start of the pandemic? Back in the day when there were no masks yet, when there were no vaccines, when there were storage containers holding bodies dead from Covid since the morgues were full, parked around the streets of NYC, when there was a makeshift hospital in Central Park because the hospitals were full. Cuomo, was on the news every single day for I dont know how many months, starting at the beginning of the pandemic, and was extremely vocal in his bold accusations of trumps failings and handling of the pandemic. Not one person in this country was so outspoken of trumps failures. Except Michael Avenatti who came under the spotlight because of his client Stormy Daniels and her association with trump.
If you dont know what happened to them and their careers you can look it up.
Your questioning makes no sense to me.
You are familiar with vengeance, no?
Would my theory only make sense to you if Cuomo lost his job immediately after calling out trump and Jared?
Some people hold grudges and retaliate, get payback, generations after the event.
Some people have long reaches in society.
Do you think trump got away with all his shit for years all by himself?
I find it suspicious that these two men, one of whom definitely committed some crimes, but look at all the criminal behavior that never goes punished, both lost their careers, one of them convicted. And these two men were also the two most vocal people criticizing trump. Its when political figures take center stage in the spotlight that they become targets, and these two were holding under the brightest light.
Besides vengeance, these two men also were threats to trump.

(81,565 posts)Keep filing for extensions and delays. ESPECIALLY delays. And that way, you can string out your opponent long enough that he/she runs out of money and either drops it and goes away, or settles for a pittance of what they were suing for in damages. Pretty devious. But it worked. And its worked for a long time.
One of many reasons why having lots of money (or being PRESUMED TO HAVE lots of money) built kind a f an invisible fortress around him. It worked as another form of intimidation (do you know how deep his pockets are? He can drag this thing out til youre facing bankruptcy. You better take what you can get while you still can
).
And he fucked with peoples imaginations, giving the impression that he was somehow supreme, invincible, unreachable, unassailable, etc. if you THINK its true, then it very well IS - at least in your perception. With this bastard, PERCEPTION is EVERYTHING. It explains why he can be vague about his net worth - which lends the IMPRESSION that hes so damn rich even HE cant keep track of how much money he has. And why he can tell one person hes worth this much and then tell somebody else hes worth that much and nobody really bothers to check because all they need to know is that hes got shitloads of bucks - MORE shitloads than you can even imagine, and exact numbers dont mean much because all YOU need to know is that its a lot.
Its a perception management game hes played successfully ALL HIS DAMN LIFE. And its all designed to benefit himself and screw everybody else.

James says she won't be bullied but still hasn't done anything to him.
