Donald Trump settles Trump University case for 25 million. Oh yeah, nothing guilty about that.

Courtesy of NBC News:  

Donald Trump has reached an agreement to settle the lawsuit against Trump University for $25 million, New York's attorney general said Friday. 

The settlement likely means that Trump will avoid becoming possibly the first sitting president to testify in open court. 

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman called the settlement "a major victory for the over 6,000 victims of his fraudulent university." Lawyers involved in the cases say the settlement applies to all three lawsuits against Trump University including two cases filed in California. 

The trial for one of the cases had been scheduled to start Nov. 28. 

The $25 million figure will be split among the students who sued, minus the legal fees. 

Trump will also pay up to $1 million in penalties to the state of New York, Schneiderman said.

Wasn't Donald Trump also the guy who said this:  

“I don’t settle cases,” he told MSNBC, later adding, “You know what happens? When you start settling lawsuits, everybody sues you.”

Except he does in fact settle lawsuits, saying he doesn't is just another one of his never ending stream of lies.

Of course he has another lie to cover for his settlement as well.

I settled the Trump University lawsuit for a small fraction of the potential award because as President I have to focus on our country.

Yeah, if you think Donald Trump is going to do anything for the good of this country you would have to be one of those simple shits who voted for him.

Nah he settled it because he was going to lose "bigly" and he knew it.  And he knew that with all of this press attention that everybody would see it happen and he would be humiliated.

Settling this case is as good as an admission of guilt, and a signal to all of the other people with lawsuits pending against Trump, of which apparently there are 75 or more, that the candy store is open and that Trump will pay big to deflect from his legal problems.

More troubling is that it is also a message to America's enemies that Trump is a blowhard who talks tough but folds when directly challenged.

Family values warrior Bill O'Reilly loses custody of his children.

Bill O’Reilly can’t put a spin on this: his kids don’t want to live with him. 

A New York appeals court has upheld a ruling that denied the Fox News host status as sole decision-maker for the 16-year-old daughter and 12-year old-son he had with his ex-wife, Maureen McPhilmy. 

“There is a sound and substantial basis for the Supreme Court's determination that it is in the best interests of the children for the mother to be awarded primary residential custody,” the four-judge Appellate Division panel wrote. 

“Particularly relevant in this case are the clearly stated preferences of the children, especially considering their age and maturity, and the quality of the home environment provided by the mother.”

Could not happen to a more deserving guy if you ask me. 

Bill O'Reilly is an arrogant, misogynistic bully that you just KNOW mistreated both his children and his wife.

I love it when these blowhards who are also telling everybody else how to live, are revealed to be raging hypocrites whose own lives serve are the complete opposite of their public image.

Gee I'm trying to remember who that reminds me of.

We haven't forgotten Ted!

That was almost a year ago, and yet Nugent is still wasting perfectly good oxygen that would be put to better use by other people on this planet.

Only five more days to make good on his promise, think he will?

Personally I think that like EVERY Right Wing windbag he is all talk and no action.

However I would be delighted if he proved me wrong.

Favorite example of conservative infighting of the day.

So apparently Michele Malkin and Donald trump have started a Twitter battle that is pretty damn ugly, and gloriously entertaining.

Mediaite has all the ugly details:

 Malkin’s conservative Twitter aggregator site Twitchy took to calling the real estate mogul and recent CPAC speaker Trump a “conservafraud.” 

Shortly thereafter, Malkin took to Twitter — as she is wont to do — to ask Trump why he once called her a “dummy” and “smeared” her “past.”

Oooh, calling the Donald a "coward." That is not going to go over well.

Ouch! Well if Malkin is even remotely familiar with Trump she should have expected this.

Think she learned her lesson? She is a Right Wing moron so of course she didn't.

Others on Twitter are trying to warn Malkin that Trump has no scruples, but it does not look like she is listening.

That is all Mediaite had so far but trust me the battle rages on.

This was Malkin's last salvo:

#WhatDoesDonaldDo He expects women to be like Beyonce and Bow Down. No dice, Chump.

Can I just say how much fun it is to sit back and watch two of the most distasteful people on the planet ripping into each other in a public forum?

Now if you will excuse me I think my popcorn needs some more butter.

Somehow I don't believe the Iowan Christians are ready to embrace Newt Gingrich 2.0. Just a hunch.

This is for all of you who were concerned that I was not paying enough attention to Newt and kept calling out Romney (Who I STILL think will be the eventual nominee) or taking potshots at Santorum, Cain, or Bachmann instead.

To be honest I kind of believe that, much like Palin, Newt is his own worst enemy and he will destroy his candidacy with very little help from the progressives.

But think about it, "President Newt?"  I mean seriously!
