George HW Bush-appointed Florida Federal Judge Steven Merryday on Friday was pretty savage in his dismissal of convicted felon President Trump’s batshit stupid $15 billion complaint against the New York Times, writing that “even under the most generous and lenient application of” federal court procedure that demands filings be compsed by and for mentally functional adults, “the complaint is decidedly improper and impermissible. The pleader initially alleges an electoral victory by President Trump ‘in historic fashion’ – by ‘trouncing’ the opponent – and alludes to ‘persistent election interference from the legacy media, led most notoriously by the New York Times.’ The pleader alludes to ‘the halcyon days’ of the newspaper but complains that the newspaper has become a ‘fullthroated mouthpiece of the Democrat party,’ which allegedly resulted in the ‘deranged endorsement’ of his principal opponent in the most recent presidential election.”
“The reader of the complaint must labor through allegations, such as ‘a new journalistic low for the hopelessly compromised and tarnished ‘Gray Lady.’ The reader must endure an allegation of ‘the desperate need to defame with a partisan spear rather than report with an authentic looking glass’ and an allegation that ‘the false narrative about ‘The Apprentice’ was just the tip of Defendants’ melting iceberg of falsehoods.’ Similarly, in one of many, often repetitive, and laudatory (toward President Trump) but superfluous allegations, the pleader states, ”The Apprentice’ represented the cultural magnitude of President Trump’s singular brilliance, which captured the zeitgeist of our time.”
“The complaint continues with allegations in defense of President Trump’s father and the acquisition of the Trumps’ wealth; with a protracted list of the many properties owned, developed, or managed by The Trump Organization and a list of President Trump’s many books; with a long account of the history of ‘The Apprentice’; with an extensive list of President Trump’s ‘media appearances,'” the ruling continued and God bless Merryday for actually reading through that horseshit, lol.
The judge gave the fat fuck 28 days to refile the a shorter, more mentally stable complaint.
