I'm not sure what happened with Paul's duplicate thread that looked like tallguy started it, but all posts from both threads are now combined in here.

Talking heads certainly do get carried away at times. I think the tweet was a good start and look forward to hearing about how he addresses it on his show. MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell kicked off his show Wednesday night by apologizing for running an unverified report that directly tied President Trump's finances to Russia, which he retracted. link Wow, someone apologizing publicly for saying something unverifiable in public.
When will Trump start doing that? He's got quite a backlog.

Just think of what we could do if all that mental energy that is being spent spinning conspiracy theories and trying to convince people Trump is actually Wiley E. Coyote super genius were spent on better things like curing cancer.

O Donnell's teeth must have lost a layer of enamel on his teeth last night. That had to hurt, even though he did not mean one word of it.

1. Because we told you.2. Because it shows almost the exact thread title started by the same poster. Again, not that tough to figure out. Because we told you.

You laugh. But you were so confused last night. I thought you were showing signs of Sundowne's syndrome.

I was so far fetched ,, MSNBC could even see the massive lawsuit that was to follow. You know it was really wrong if MSNBC, made one of it's talking heads say sorry!!!

Are You Smarter Than A Fifth-grader? Apparently not. A Fifth-grader could have figured it out. Especially after having it explained several times.

O Donnell's teeth must have lost a layer of enamel on his teeth last night. That had to hurt, even though he did not mean one word of it. Sure, maybe it did hurt, maybe he didn't mean it - but he said it.
He opened his mouth and said words of apology on air, in front of a camera, and a whole national audience. He apologized.
That puts him light years, ethically, in front of the POTUS, who will twist himself into seven types of knots to avoid every saying the A word himself.
Blame someone else. Deny, deny, deny. Try to draw attention to some other issue, in hopes we're stupid enough we'll forget what he said. Claim it was a joke, or 'locker room talk.' Or the left wing media creating fake news (even though we have video of him saying what he claims he never said).
Let's not forget this is the president who claims he has never had to ask God for forgiveness because he's never done anything wrong. That makes him Jesus, or someone who is unable to force himself to accept that he was wrong - about anything, ever.

Update: “Tonight we are retracting the story,” he said Wednesday. “We don’t know whether the information is inaccurate but the fact is we do know it wasn’t ready for broadcast and for that I apologize.”
It is likely the Trump Organization will pursue civil remedies since as Don Jr. put it: The “sole purpose” of the story was to smear the business and cause harm.

Trump and family have smeared their own businesses.
Multiple bankruptcies, not paying vendors, scam trump university, and on and in.

Perhaps MSNBC will assert a truth defense and force the Trump Organization to provide documents or risk having their case dismissed. I read something about that in another thread.

Never was there a truer statement,, which applies to almost all news media outlets!

The family is sue- happy. At any one time they've got several thousand open lawsuits, and a whole stable of lawyers to push them. It's a way to try to intimidate your opponent.
I'm 100% certain they will try to sue. Doesn't mean they will WIN. Anyone can sue anyone else for anything - clearly, the Trumps take advantage of that enthusiastically.
I have a feeling, though, MSNBS is not going to be as easy to intimidate as one of the contractors Trump is always fucking over on business deals.
