Trump says he won’t testify again at his New York fraud trial. He says he has nothing more to say

Donald Trump said Sunday he has decided against testifying for a second time at his New York civil fraud trial, posting on social media that he “VERY SUCCESSFULLY & CONCLUSIVELY” testified last month and saw no need to appear...

And he’s not afraid of cross-examination IN THE LEAST!

The way to shut up Donald Trump: Put him under oath.

"reversal" don't make me laugh. He was never going to testify.

Yep.

Exxon to move headquarters to Dallas from New York

https://www.upi.com/Archives/1989/10/26 ... 625377600/

Exxon Corp., the world's largest oil company, in a surprise announcement Thursday said it will move its headquarters next year because it is too difficult to attract promising managerial talent to New York.

Chairman Lawrence Rawl told the subdued 300 headquarters personnel assembled in the company cafeteria in the Exxon skyscraper they would move next fall to temporary quarters near Dallas in Irving, Texas, where a new headquarters will be built by mid-1993.

In a statement issued late in the day, Republican mayoral candidate Rudolph Giulani said Rawl had sent him a letter saying it was important to Exxon to give promising professional and managerial talent the opportunity to work at headquarters.

'Recently it has been difficult to attract some of these people to New York City,' Giuliani quoted Rawl as saying in the letter. Giuliani said, 'I find this news extremely disturbing.'

No confirmation of the Rawl quote could be obtained from Exxon.

Exxon's headquarters has been located at 1250 Avenue of Americas since 1972, when the oil company erected the Exxon building in conjunction with the Rockefeller Center complex, which owned half of it.

The Exxon building was sold for $610 million to Mutsui Fudosan (NY) Inc., a subsidiary of the Japan's Mitsui company, in late 1986. An Exxon employee said the company has been looking to relocate since then.

'We concluded that, on balance the Dallas area offered the best combination of factors from the standpoint of our employees' personal and professonal lives and from an overall business standpoint. Both aspects were important in our final decision,' said Rawl.

A company analysis took into account the cost of doing business, living costs, commuting to and from the job, accessibility of air travel and the overall business climate, Rawl said in an Exxon statement.

The announcement came as a surprise to New York City officials, who have been working hard to sell corporate America on the advantages of Manhattan.

'It came as a bit of a surprise to us,' said Stanley Grayson, New York deputy mayor for finance and development.

He said Exxon had been contacted as recently as a year ago and the company indicated it had no intentions of moving.



The oil company has been gradually reducing its presence in the Rockefeller Center building since the 1970s.

Exxon had more than 2,000 employees in the Exxon building before transferring international operations to Florham, N.J., and chemical headquarters units to Darien, Conn.

I remember it well. In 1986 I and all of the Exxon Chemical Central Engineering Division were relocated from Florham Park NJ to Texas. Also all of NJ based Exxon Research and Engineering.

The chemical headquarters units that moved to Darien relocated to Houston in the late 1980s.

Exxon got its start as Standard Oil of NJ after the break up of Rockefeller's Standard Oil Trust. Later it merged with Humble Oil of Texas. Over the decades petrochemical operations in Texas and Louisiana grew massively while operations in the Northeast shrank.

None of that had anything to do with Letitia James.

Thank you Mr. V. Unfortunately this info will never be aired on Fox or Newsmax.

Also, too, George H. W. Bush - a Republican - was the president on Oct. 26, 1989.

I think the poots would still decide that TFG's lame-ass excuse-tantrum (extrum? tantruse?) is more credible, because, after all, this is a guy who actually sells t-shirts of his mugshot labeled 'never surrender', SO CLEARLY HE'S SO TOUGH REALITY AND HISTORY AND ESTABLISHED FACT BEND TO HIS WILL. Or something.

“Tantruse” - New Fogbow Lexicon and Snarksaurus nominee!

I agree that this is indeed a new marvel of our language and hopefully it'll be considered by Oxford next year as its word of the year. The etymology is right here! I think a portmanteau is perfectly acceptable!

If we can have chartreuse, then we can have tantruse.

I'll add that he's in fact trying to spin the 'never surrender' mugshot angle into something martyr-y, as witnessed by his cutting up and selling of The Suit He Wore At His Surrender To False Authorities Persecuting Him. Or something. And these people are eating it up. Someday, there may be thousands of churches each claiming a True Fragment Of Suit.

I got dollars to doughnuts that it's all some cheap stuff he had a staffer pick up at Fabric Hut...

He [more likely a staffer did] ripped the idea off from sport trading cards that will often include a piece of a game worn jersey from the player featured...

Profoundly weird is a feature, not a bug.

Donald Trump’s lawyers again ask for early verdict in civil fraud trial, judge says ‘no way’

https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump ... 4e430c9190

Trump’s lawyers renewed their request for what’s known as a directed verdict a day after Trump, the leading contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, skipped a planned return to the witness stand as the defense’s last big witness.

The bits of suit remind me of a Holy Relics scam too. This piece of St Anthony's robe is barely a 3mm square.
