Woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually harassing her is now suing him for defamation of character.

Courtesy of the Hollywood Reporter:

Just days before he's set to be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump has been hit with a defamation lawsuit from a former Apprentice contestant who says he engaged in sexually inappropriate contact with her. 

Shortly before Election Day, Trump faced a barrage of sexual assault accusations from many women following the release of a bombshell video showing him boasting to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush about grabbing women's genitals. Summer Zervos, who appeared on season five of The Apprentice, was one of the accusers. At that time, Trump responded at a rally in Pennsylvania, "All of these liars will be sued after the election is over."

So today Zervos sat with her attorney Gloria Allred to announce that she is proceeding with a lawsuit against Trump.


The complaint zeroes in on Trump's initial statement upon Zervos' allegation that he "never met [Ms. Zervos] at a hotel or greeted her inappropriately," along with tweets how his accuser "made up events THAT NEVER HAPPENED." She also points to comments of "100% fabricated and made-up charges,' "totally false," and so forth, including, "Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign." 

"In doing so, he used his national and international bully pulpit to make false factual statements to denigrate and verbally attack Ms. Zervos and the other women who publicly reported his sexual assaults in October 2016," states the complaint. "Mr. Trump knew that his false, disparaging statements would be heard and read by people around the world, and that these women, including Summer Zervos, would be subjected to threats of violence, economic harm, and reputational damage. In his effort to win the Presidency and counter the damage to his election prospects caused by his own recorded words with Billy Bush, Mr. Trump knowingly, intentionally and maliciously threw each and every one of these women under the bus, with conscious disregard of the impact that repeatedly calling them liars would have upon their lives and reputations."

Hasn't released his tax returns, bragged about grabbing pussies in a video, intelligence agencies have proof that his campaign was helped by interference from Russia, and now he is being sued for potentially lying about sexually harassing a young woman. 

HOW in the HELL did this guy win the presidency?

Glenn Beck is being sued for slander and defamation by Muslim victim of Boston Marathon bombing.

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

A Muslim victim of the Boston Marathon bombing has sued Glenn Beck for defamation and slander after the talk show host accused him of funding the attacks. 

Race spectator Abdulrahman Alharbi filed a federal lawsuit against Beck and his companies, The Blaze Inc. and Mercury Radio Arts, and his radio syndicator, Premier Radio Networks. 

The 20-year-old Alharbi was injured in the April 15 bombings, questioned as a witness, and consented to a search of his apartment. 

Authorities quickly determined that Alharbi, a Saudi national of Middle Eastern descent, had no involvement in the attacks. 

But Beck “repeatedly and falsely” identified Alharbi as an active participant in the bombings, the suit claims. 

The lawsuit also claims Beck questioned the motives of federal authorities who declined to arrest or detain the college student, reported Courthouse News. 

“Let me just say this to those at the highest echelons of government,” Beck said April 21, according to World Net Daily. “We know who this Saudi national is, and it is in your best interest and the best interest of integrity and trust for the people of United States of America – it’s best coming from you, not coming from a news organization. It’s best coming from you. You have until (April 22). We have information on who this man is, (and) we know he is a very bad, bad, bad man.”

I remember the character assassination that Beck was promoting in those days right after the bombing. It was brutal, and he would NOT let it go.

Even after this guy was cleared by investigators, Beck kept saying that he had some secret evidence that would convict this guy.

Guess what? He didn't.

Good for this Abdulrahman Alharbi guy for holding him accountable.

Here is a post for my homophobic friends.

This whole "Ask Uncle Gryphen" idea has really brought the homophobes out of the shadows today. Ooh, lucky me!

I actually deal with them quite often, and reject their asinine comments on a daily basis, but today they were especially aggressive.

Here is a little video to help them to understand why they feel the need to call others fags, or equate homosexuality with pedophilia.

There now do you understand?

Just so you know, EVERY TIME you attack somebody for being gay, whether real or simply imagined in your precious pointy head, we all know that it is a cry for help.

And we want to help, really we do.  But first you have to admit your problem, because that is the first step toward acceptance of who you are.
