I support less Rs in the Senate, and if that means getting behind tfg and supporting write-in campaigns against RINO Rs, I'm here for it.

Sounds like a good plan except here in Nevada write-ins aren't allowed. I'm sure some MAGAts will try and then harass poll workers when they find out they can't. The only option is to vote for "none of these candidates."Slim Cognito wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 8:38 am There's a satire piece floating around the bird site saying trump has demanded all MAGAts write in his name for senator instead of voting for the Republican. A lot of people are buying it. I'm ok with that if some of them are MAGAts.
Yeah, and remember when you believed in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy?raison de arizona wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 2:48 pm Remember when tfg said, “I was the most transparent, and am, transparent President in history.” Except for people quoting his actual words, I guess, that is verbotten.
I seem to remember a while back when the book was announced that the former guy made loud noises but then had to admit that some specific wording of confidentiality had been left out of the contract.noblepa wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 2:55 pm IANAL. Nor am I a journalist.
When a professional journalist interviews a famous personality/politician, like TFG, is there normally a written agreement, laying out any ground rules?
Absent such an agreement, what law, if any, covers the intellectual property rights that the interviewer and interviewee have in the notes or recordings taken during the interview?
IANAL either. But I think that legally it would be similar to taking a photograph. The copyright in the image belongs to the photographer, not the subject, but typically, if the photographer is going to publish the image, they would get a signed release from the subject that the image can be published, just to be safe. In this case, it is clear that Trump knew he was being recorded, and he knew that Woodward was going to publish these recordings in some form. So if there was no written agreement, I think all Trump can do is whine, which he does so well.noblepa wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 2:55 pm IANAL. Nor am I a journalist.

IOW, do the tapes and publication rights belong to Woodward or Trump?
It seems to me that, as long as the recordings released by Woodward are, indeed, undoctored, Trump would have no grounds to sue for slander or libel. Truth is always a defense and actual, unedited recordings would be ample rebuttal to any charge of libel/slander.
Can TFG do anything besides bluster?
That's kind of what I thought. I do know that a photograph of a public figure can be published without that person's permission, especially in a news reporting situation. For Woodward to make these recordings available to the public is clearly a case of new reporting, as Woodward is very well established as a journalist and Trump is most definitely a public figure. To the extent that a recording of a public figure can be likened to a photograph, I doubt that TFG can do anything about it.much ado wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 3:31 pmIANAL either.

Yeah, he knew quite well. Trump is just dumb as f^^k. Do we need more evidence?
I never did get to drag Mike to the Embassy for a drink in our pub, either. He was still U.S.-bound due to the pandemic when I got here. I has a sad about that.sugar magnolia wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 4:56 pm This would be a Mike Dunford question, but alas, he has abandoned us here at the FB.
