Too bad, bunkerboi was having such a shitty morning

[grumpyduck]

1. Somehow I have a sneaking suspicion that

Mary isn't doing it for the money. So go ahead and leak it.

2. I mean really, grumpy - just download that thang, please!!

LEAK AWAY!!!

[grumpyduck]

4. If I had a copy, I'd be PDFing and uploading it all over the place.

But I'm allergic to anything with T's name on it.

6. Yes, no amount of hand sanitizer hand washing gloves or masks prevents BAD OUTCOMES from

proximity to this scumbucket!!! THERE WILL BE BARFING

8. I'm beginning to think that

only the flames of Mt Doom can cleanse that filth from the world.

3. Robert Trump...

Robert Trump is proving that fecal matter does tend to stick together, but I wish they weren't smeared all over our country like this. The smell is nauseating. Robert is calling attention to that.

It's like we are all on Mr. Hankey's Poo-Choo Trump train.

5. From the article:

A person familiar with the matter told The Daily Beast the book, to be published by Simon and Schuster, is already on its third print run and the publishing giant are working to get the tome, which is currently Number Four on Amazon’s best-seller list, out to bookstores ahead of its July 28th release.

7. On what grounds LOL?

[highplainsdem]

10. The NDA she reportedly signed during a settlement years ago.

11. I am curious...

I wonder how the NDA, which is a private agreement, becomes the grounds for suppressing the book?

In other words, Mary breaking the terms of the NDA is about her liability, (and any legal remedies, etc. the plaintiff might get) but what does it have to do with the book, the publisher and her free speech as per the 1st-Ammendment?

Robert Trump can take her to court and sue for something like breech of a contract, but that seems to be merely a civil matter.

What are the legal ramifications of blocking the book, I wonder?

9. Free speech? nt

[dflprincess]

12. isn't this prior restraint?

And if she violated het NDA shouldn't Spanky & family have to wait to sue until the book has been publisded?

13. Statement from Mary Trump's attorney @BoutrousTed :

Statement from Mary Trump's attorney @BoutrousTed:

“The trial court’s temporary restraining order is only temporary but it still is a prior restraint on core political speech that flatly violates the First Amendment. We will immediately appeal.”

15. Any guesses on how long the appeal will take? nt

17. Interestingly...

To obtain a TRO, one has to demonstrate a likelihood of 'immediate irreparable harm' that would happen unless the action is halted.

Without reading the pleadings, wonder what donnie-t's gang stated would be their harm (and thus the basis for granting the TRO)?

[Sanity Claws]

14. TRO until a hearing on a preliminary injunction on July 10

A much tougher standard will be applied then.

Bear in mind that Robert Trump is the plaintiff, not the Donald. Robert would have to show irreparable harm to himself to get a preliminary injunction. Frankly, who gives a fuck about Robert Trump?

16. Any info on the judge?

An attendee at Epstein parties?

Duestche Bank account?

From a wingnut NY area?

Trumphumper?

Recent large deposit from the GRU, or RNC... aren't those both the same though?
