Donald Trump canceled his scheduled Oct. 16 deposition in his lawsuit against the BBC because of "matters of national importance." The BBC alerts the judge that those matters were: a rally in Dalton, Ga. and a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.

That should automatically get his lawsuit dismissed. Why are courts even entertaining frivolous and malevolent lawsuits from this child rapist, felon, and lifetine career criminal?

Having the biggest mouth in town is how Donald screws himself all the time. “National importance” yeah right, my swan song tour.

So as President he admits he’s out playing around and not focusing on matters of state as excuse to avoid potentially damaging discovery for litigation he authorized and is now in over his skis.

This is extremely amusing. The BBC aren’t spineless pussies like every single organization in America from Congress to NYT to universities to corporations.

I went to BBC lawyers 4 times when i worked for the corporation - every time expecting 'You can't broadcast THAT!!' Twice they said 'We' cool', twice they said 'You know, you could go further.....' So glad to learn they still rock 🤘

No doubt Trump will withdraw this lawsuit, since BBC is absolutely entitled to depose him, and he won’t sit for a deposition about his activities on Jan. 6, 2021. The judge can certainly sanction him for bringing a meritless case, and for refusing to comply with discovery requirements.

Trump is the plaintiff here. If he doesn’t appear for trial and no good reason is shown, the court can diamiss his case. A deposition usually proceeds outside the presence of a judge. If he refuses to appear for one, that is also grounds for dismissal.

I think the matter was actually "not having to show that I'm a big baby who wears a diaper not by choice but because I'm just so full of shit" which is not nationally important to me, but to him, well...

He IS the national security threat! At this point we would be safer as a nation if this imbecile was giving depositions for the rest of his life.

That is excellent. But never forget that like all bullies, Trump threatens and intimidate, knowns no shame and always plays all the options available to delay or obfuscate. Hoisted by his own pétard.
