Donald Trump Suggests He Might “Press Charges” Against Michelle Fields

Says Fields grabbed him
Politics • Views: 55,352

A basic fact about Donald Trump is that he never — absolutely never — admits doing anything wrong or apologizes for anything, no matter how egregious. Instead he attacks critics, viciously and often in blatantly dishonest ways.

He’s following this long-established pattern of behavior again today, responding to the arrest of his campaign manager for battery against reporter Michelle Fields by suggesting he may “press charges” against Fields.

Notice he says Fields “grabbed” him, but the image he posted does not show this. In fact, right after this tweet he posted another image that shows Fields didn’t “grab” him at all; but now he seems to be alleging she might have been trying to harm him.

Corey Lewandowski could have avoided being charged with battery by simply admitting he shouldn’t have grabbed Fields and apologizing at the very start. Instead he attacked her like his employer does, and accused her of lying — even though their own security surveillance video showed she was telling the truth.

If anything ends up destroying Donald Trump’s candidacy, it will be the overwhelming egomania and hubris that characterizes him and his entire staff.

It will work with his audience. Their starting premise is that they’re defending themselves—always—and that changing culture, changing etiquette, and people just being different constitutes attack.

It will be interesting, watching this, to try and divine how much Trump and his audience are cynically spinning a story, versus assimilating the story making it “true” by repetition. The distinction of mountebank versus fanatic might by irrelevant, if you can lie until you really believe it.

Well, my own take on this is that The Donald is again (as totally f*cking usual) loudly blustering away about suing Michelle Fields, just as he’s bloviated all campaign about suing this one or that one for whatever - mainly to gin up “outrage” among his fanbase: and that he’ll drop his threats as soon as he can get a press release put out to make himself look like Mr. Magnanimous for not litigating Ms. Fields (or whoever) into oblivion.
And his addled supporters will eat it up as proof about what a YUUUUGE winner their guy is…..

Just to clarify something from the last thread.

littlegreenfootballs.com

Bardell, who quit Breitbart in protest, said as he was quitting that this account was based on erroneous reporting of an email that Lewandowski had sent to Boyle.

He added that Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski had not, as was previously reported, admitted to the assault. In a text message exchange with Breitbart’s Matt Boyle, Lewandowski only said that he didn’t know Fields was a Breitbart reporter and that he would look into the situation, according to Bardella.

Make of it what you will, but it’s hard to see why Bardella would lie about this one thing in the midst of quitting Breitbart over their handling of this very incident.

re: #25 goddamnedfrank

Keep in mind that Bardella is reported to be the one who contacted Fields and berated her in the immediate aftermath of the incident, telling her that she needed to get a grip on her boyfriend.

Fields soon received an aggrieved phone call from Bardella, telling her that Weinstein’s tweets were “juvenile,” and “immature,” according to sources, and advising her “to get your boyfriend under control.” Ultimately Bardella drafted the [Breitbart] statement, and Fields asked Weinstein to stop tweeting.

It very much looks like Bardella was initially an integral part of Breitbart’s institutional attempt to downplay the Lewandowski - Fields assault and protect Trump’s campaign, until he reach something resembling an epiphany and decided to jump ship.

True, but Boyle’s denial is less dispositive because he’s still employed by Breitbart and therefore has motive to protect both them and the Trump campaign. Bardella’s account, in the midst of bailing out and castigating Breitbart for every other aspect of the case, carries more weight with me.

re: #41 goddamnedfrank

The burden of proof is on the reporter. When the object of the reporting denies the story - for any reason - it’s up to the reporter to prove that he got things right.

This is even more so when we’re dealing with hearsay, where there is at least one link between the reporter and the one being reported about, hence more room to make a mistake.

So Bardella or not, the claim doesn’t continue to stand on its own after Boyle’s denial. It’s not necessarily false, just unusable by itself.

RS: Sen. Kirk Shames Colleagues for Boycotting Merrick Garland

Senator Mark Kirk of Illinois on Tuesday accused many of his fellow Senate Republicans of being “closed-minded” by refusing to consider President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Kirk, the first Republican senator to meet with Garland since the appellate court judge’s March 16 nomination, told reporters before the private meeting: “We need open-minded, rational, responsible people to keep an open mind to make sure the (confirmation) process works.”

Asked by a reporter whether that meant that Republican senators, such as Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, were not open-minded and rational because they are refusing even to meet with Garland, Kirk responded, “I think when you just say, ‘I’m not going to meet with him at all’ - that’s too closed-minded.”

Seems like a case of ‘too little, too late’ as far as I’m concerned - the damage by the party’s objections will haunt them deep into general election territory even if Garland were to be nominated tomorrow…

Methinks his lawyer told him it is not a good idea to appear on a national network after being charged with battery. I’m also thinking Trump may “phone in” an interview about the charges. He’ll be in full defensive mode and will claim Miller had planned to attack him. He’s such an infantile behaving tool. I surmise that he’s probably played the victim his entire life to avoid taking responsibility for his words and actions. His supporters will believe anything he says, even if he’s lying. Living in his household must be a real b*tch.

Kirk has spent a lot of time kissing McConnell’s butt and being a GOP/TP corporate tool. His desperation at having to face Duckworth in November is being made public. He’s sh*tt*ng his pants and trying to show he is not McConnell’s puppet by abandoning the party position on Judge Garland’s nomination. He will use this to show how he reaches across the aisle and hope that the voters in Illinois forget his role in making sure our national government is dysfunctional.

The way the internet speeds up communication does not pare well with how the internet makes counterfeiting and legerdemain easy.

Crazy pills aside, I sometimes wonder if the more subtle doom of technology is connecting together everything that people know, as opposed to what is observably true. One of the great successes of wingnut-dom is their counterfeiting setup—ACORN videos, PP videos, the career of Glen Beck—that hacks the culture to advance policy agendas through deception. Stupid moves faster because it doesn’t explain itself, nor does it pause to be skeptical; combine that with a culture conditioned to react in sort bursts, within a tiny time reference, and you get kind of endless reactive ferment that periodically explodes. Like a hog lagoon with a Twitter account.

Gah. Wingnut cousin liked a story of a woman who ‘collects food stamps in her Mercedes Benz’.

The picture shows a rich looking woman getting out of an extremely fancy, and very new, Mercedes Benz, complete with scissor doors. TOTALLY unrelated to the story.

The story? A couple with 2 kids bought a Mercedes in 2003. In 2008, husband loses job, couple ends up getting SNAP and WIC. People are SCANDALIZED she didn’t sell the car.

A couple things. First, anyone know what you can get for a 6 year old Benz? About what you get for the same size Toyota.

Second, clearly this story is 7 or 8 years old, but still going around. So it’s an OLD story, and it comes from a time when 800,000 people a month were losing their jobs and nobody was buying anything, used or new.

Third, maybe it’s just me, but there must be something more important to worry about than whether we’ve made poverty sufficiently degrading.

So, if you can’t own a car if you’re on assistance, how are you supposed to get to work? On the public transportation that these same Republicans keep cutting funds for?

What pisses me off about politicians like Kirk is that they know all along what they should be doing but to maintain party unity, they’ll break all of the rules and the oath of office they took ———until they’re facing losing their seats to someone like Duckworth who will work on behalf of the nation and our citizens. Kirk has spent a lot of time kissing McConnell’s butt and being a GOP/TP corporate tool. His desperation at having to face Duckworth in November is being made public. He’s sh*tt*ng his pants and trying to show he is not McConnell’s puppet by abandoning the party position on Judge Garland’s nomination. He will use this to show how he reaches across the aisle and hope that the voters in Illinois forget his role in making sure our national government is dysfunctional.

Oh, THIS Illinois voter will NEVER forget!!!! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve called his office over the last 7 years. Even his aides (at least the ones I spoke to) were whiny. When dems were trying to pass an jobs/infrastructure bill funded by a tax on millionairs, his people were all “oh no, we can’t raise taxes on ANYBODY - it’s not fair..” I always made my position known.

Let’s cut to the chase here. For most Republicans, poor people are supposed to just go off somewhere and quietly die, since their poverty is taken to be a sign of God’s disfavor (the ugly flip side of the prosperity gospel).

Those of their own that are experiencing considerable economic hardship and distress are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires, and are therefore not poor.

This

I am always amazed at the tendency of some on the right to avoid reading the details of articles.

plus

don’t realize that it could happen to them.

dovetail.

The point of “welfare queen” myths…and basically the whole panoply of trite angry-making stories distributed in chain emails and memes, which at this point are practically a standard form, like a sonnet…is to make the subject other, and malicious, and thus undeserving of empathy or assistance. Repetition of the story—to oneself, or by sharing with others—makes it subjectively “true,” and it being “true” is gratifying because the reader is implicitly better than subject. It’s pornography for the complacent, in that it arouses indignation—contempt for the subject unifying with pride in oneself—but is also a Just-So Story. If you accept the story as “true,” you don’t have to think, or care, or worry: you’re the good person who won’t fall on hard times, they’re the bad people who are stealing shit.

It’s like bit-size portions of C S Lewis’s famous caution about painting someone as “blacker than black”—utterly depraved—to make one’s own failings seem less bad.

It’s actually a running theme in wingnut-dom. Be it makers/takers, Satanic baby killers, welfare queens, New Black Panthers—there’s always somebody who’s so bad that it excuses their bad behavior.

And in the age of Breitbart—and now especially in the Age of Trump—this “but everyone is worse” is no longer just a call to be banally evil, but the basic assumption that justifies all the lying, ratfucking, and just being plain evil. It’s why the GOP is struggling to cast out Trump…they’ve relied so long on the tropes Trump’s playing with—that everybody else is weak and immoral in their weakness—that they can’t reach across the aisle: they can only condemn Trump by making him another liberal, because all liberals are wrong and Wrong, at all times.

I wasn’t called upon to ask a question during the televised press conference, but afterwards Trump wandered around, stopping at every reporter to take their questions. When he approached me, I asked him about his view on an aspect of affirmative action.

Trump acknowledged the question, but before he could answer I was jolted backwards. Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down. I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance. Nonetheless, I was shaken.

re: #191 Maddies Mom

I warned my former Rep. Jim Marshall [D-GA] that his opposition to the ACA would cause him to lose his seat, and so did others in the district. He didn’t listen and in 2010 he lost his seat to a GOP/TPer because many of us refused to vote for him. It amazed me how delusional he was to think that republicans were keeping him in that seat. He was so strident in opposing President Obama that he sounded like a dyed-in- the-wool TPer, and it cost him. I think he also thought we weren’t paying attention to the things he was saying/doing, but we were, and it was a huge shock to him that his former support tanked. Before I sent him the email warning he could lose his seat, I looked at the district demographics and political affiliations and knew he was making a huge mistake by opposing the ACA. The district is primarily democratic, and Marshall blew it by trying to appeal to GOP/TPers in 2010. It seems to me he should have known that if his democratic support declined significantly, GOP/TPers were not going to fill the void because he carried a [D] beside his name.

re: #206 majii

Hopefully this district went back to the Democrats in 2012. Idiotic (D) elected officials that think running against the ACA in a (D) district is a good idea need to go, but a Republican holding onto that seat long-term would be a travesty.

re: #199 lawhawk

I see the Gateway Pundit, aka, SMOTI, is still defending the indefensible. If there wasn’t anything in the videotapes showing Lewandowski assaulting Fields, I’m sure the Jupiter PD would have noted it and refused to charge him. Those like GP are only supporters of law and order when it serves their purposes. When it doesn’t, they don’t mind choosing someone they like over following laws. I guess according to them, Fields was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I doubt they’d feel this way if Lewandowski had left a bruise on their daughters’ arm, but then, that’s different because it’s personal.

re: #208 EPR-radar

It didn’t because we didn’t have a dem candidate step up to run. Another factor is that the GOP/TP majority in the state legislature drew the new districts in a way that now makes it harder for a dem to claim the seat.

re: #203 Blind Frog Belly White

Oh, they had a solution for that - sell your initially expensive but now largely devalued car to buy something initially cheaper but now roughly the same price as the one they find offensive because you aren’t sufficiently shamed.

These people. This is the same kind of mindset that sees some public assistance programs structured in such a way that bank fees etc. end up eating a significant fraction of the financial assistance.

The day I first read about that travesty was the day I became convinced that the GOP really is an unholy trinity, with social, fiscal and defense conservatives all equally abominable.

Prior to that, I had erroneously thought the fiscal conservatives to be less evil than the social conservatives.

I just had flipped to MSNBC and saw her and then I quickly went straight to ESPN2 to watch the USA men’s soccer game going on here in Columbus.

By the way, the USA scored at about 9 minutes in and lead 1-0.

That is the second or third time she has been on. A sure sign that MSNBC is fishing the bottom these days.

I wonder what will happen if he sues, she countersues, and she wins, with the court calling on the chump to pay all her court costs and whatever fees the court deems just and proper. He’ll appeal all the way to the Supreme Court, which I think will tell him to shut up and pay, which he won’t do.
