2. I can't wait to see the responding letter.

Most like the classic and some what respectful ‘No’. One word responses are so good.

Personally I would use a 2 word response...fuck off.

[brettdale]

4. Same here

I hope they post it online.

[ornotna]

3. The letter

[KS Toronado]

57. Appears the lawyer uses a sharpie also, wonder why.

[LakeVermilion]

5. I doubt that Jared and Ivanka are willing...

to go through discovery once the case is filed. Suing is the big bluff.

46. Lol, this is the famous Kasowitz who threatens strangers...

in emails:

Trump Lawyer Marc Kasowitz Threatens Stranger in Emails: ‘Watch Your Back, Bitch’

After hearing Rachel Maddow discuss our recent story about Kasowitz, a man emailed the attorney urging him to resign. Kasowitz responded with threats and profanity.

Marc Kasowitz, President Trump’s personal attorney on the Russia case, threatened a stranger in a string of profanity-laden emails Wednesday night.

The man, a retired public relations professional in the western United States who asked not to be identified, read ProPublica’s story this week on Kasowitz and sent the lawyer an email with the subject line: “Resign Now.’’

Kasowitz replied with series of angry messages sent between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. Eastern time. One read: “I’m on you now. You are fucking with me now Let’s see who you are Watch your back , bitch.”

In another email, Kasowitz wrote: “Call me. Don’t be afraid, you piece of shit. Stand up. If you don’t call, you’re just afraid.” And later: “I already know where you live, I’m on you. You might as well call me. You will see me. I promise. Bro.”

Another trumpy winner, lol.

[Raftergirl]

48. I grew up with Marc. Our families were friends.

I went to summer camp and school with his sister. Marc and his twin were several years older than us.

I was appalled when I found out he was Donald’s lawyer!

[Spazito]

68. From what I have read he wasn't any prize before he became trump's lawyer...

his representation of the evangelical religious nutbars was well known.

[Raftergirl]

70. I hadn't thought of him or the rest of the family for years

until my cousin - who is a lawyer in NYC and went to high school with Marc, told us. This was right after Donald got elected, iirc.

I know several people and people who know people in Donald’s orbit. It’s head shaking.

Fortunately, I know way more people who are in Democrats orbits and several who served in Clinton and Obama administrations. And none were accused/convicted of any criming, either!

[Docreed2003]

59. Wow, he seems nice

A real class act 🙄

[sheshe2]

73. Sounds like daddy dearest wrote it.

[lettucebe]

9. Ivanka never made that gesture? That's a good one, hahahahahhahahahahahaha

That's the best they've got? She didn't gesture that exact way? Jared did say that his people would suffer because he apparently didn't beg hard enough. Good luck with your legal challenge. Besides, even if they remove the billboards; they've done the damage. Guess they don't like when it happens to them.

[getagrip_already]

13. and now it has gotten a lot more visibility.....

Are they really this dumb (don't answer that)? All this letter does is draw more attention to the sign.

I never would have seen it. Good work trying to suppress it.......

[FakeNoose]

16. Of course she has, we've all seen it

[George II]

21. A better version of that picture:

[Maeve]

10. Quick Google shows Jared did say that

Cuomo didn't pound the phones hard enough to get PPE for his state. ... His people are going to suffer and that's their problem," senior White House adviser Jared Kushner said, according to Vanity Fair.

[bucolic_frolic]

30. There you have it.

Not imaginary.

[brettdale]

11. Hope these billboards go viral

fingers crossed.

[madaboutharry]

12. In the original photo

Ivanka was holding a can of Goya Beans. It was taken after the owner of the company visited The White House.

14. Typical TrumpCo idiocy.

15. Great idea

[llmart]

17. Most hated family in America.

They deserve it.

19. Aren't Ivanred proud of their work?

I guess they've forgotten (or would like the rest of us to forget) their own record. Really early onset Alzheimers.

[George II]

20. I'm disappointed that no one here recognized the significance of the response "Nuts!"

[machoneman]

31. Our answer to the Germans surrounding our troops in WWII and asking for surrender. Nuts!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_McAuliffe

Sorry, I was late to reply....................too busy LMAO at the lawyer's demands.

[George II]

35. Thanks! I made the connection with TLP's response immediately. Glad we have other "scholars" here!

[forkol]

44. And there's this from that Wikipedia link...

(Yes, I got the reference too)

After McAuliffe had his aid Harper deliver the 'Nuts!' reply to the Germans, there was this:

The German major appeared confused and asked Harper what the message meant. Harper said, "In plain English? Go to hell."

So, really what the TLP was saying was Go to hell!

[George II]

63. Yes, even more to the point by TLP!!

[Cha]

52. I have no idea what it means.. Please enlighten me.. TY!

Link to tweet

[George II]

62. machoneman summed it up - it was the response by an American General to the Germans' demand....

...of surrender during the Battle of the Bulge in WWII.

General Anthony McAuliffe simply, and now famously, responded "Nuts!"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_McAuliffe

[Cha]

69. Thanks George... That seems like

an appropriate response!

They brought this on themselves.. didn't think TLP would fight back? This is Golden Pay Back, Times Freakin' Square, & hopefully it's not done yet.

[TrollBuster9090]

53. I got it, although later than you. I said it was ironic, given that the Lincoln Project is made up

...of standard Republican chickenhawks, who typically ducked the Vietnam and Gulf Wars, and nurse their bruised manhood by throwing out lots of praise for the military, and lots of military references.

[George II]

65. The two "leaders" of the Lincoln Project, Steve Schmidt and Rick Wilson....

....were both too young to serve in Vietnam. Wilson was 10 years old and Schmidt was 3 years old when we pulled out of Vietnam.

I'm not sticking up for them, but if one wants to criticize them there are more valid things to go after.

[TrollBuster9090]

72. I said "who typically ducked the Vietnam and Gulf Wars"

I said "who typically ducked the Vietnam and Gulf Wars"

HUNTER BIDEN joined the Navy at age 43. (Odd how these chickenshits would pick HIM as a target.)
BEAU BIDEN joined the Army at age 34.

The ages of the Lincoln Project founders during the first Gulf War.

Steve Schmidt, 20
Rick Wilson, 27
George Conway, 27
Jennifer Horn, 26
John Weaver, 31

They were all younger than Beau for the first Gulf War, and they were all younger than Hunter for the second Gulf War.

I rest my case. CHICKEN HAWKS.

Meanwhile, all that time they were busy being chickenhawks, they were making piles of money working to elect Republicans for the express purpose of giving tax cuts to billionaires, and send other peoples' kids to fight wars to defend their oil wells.

Just because they finally concluded that Donald Trump was a bridge too far, even for THEM, let's not start taking them out of context.

political posts if ever there were any. You're supposed to be working for us. Grow up and live with it.

26. Oh go eat shit, Jared.

[brooklynite]

28. "Dear Lincoln Project Person"?

[bucolic_frolic]

29. They prob have defenses

political free speech, satire. They had some basis for the content of the ad. They're not that dumb.

[aggiesal]

34. I agree. It is much harder to sue for label on a publicly known Political official ...

Courts are much more lenient against political officials.

They'll lose and not pay their attorneys.

32. Their response should echo Arkell v. Pressdram

Dear Sirs,

We acknowledge your letter of 29th April referring to Mr. J. Arkell.

We note that Mr Arkell’s attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of our reply and would therefore be grateful if you would inform us what his attitude to damages would be, were he to learn that the nature of our reply is as follows: fuck off.

Yours,
Private Eye

47. "Nuts." Those guys are hilarious.

[TrollBuster9090]

51. Lincoln Projects "NUTS" reference is funny, although undeserved.

For those of you that are not history buffs, the "NUTS" reference comes from The Battle of The Bulge, where the 101st Airborne Division was boxed in by the German Army at Bastogne. The Germans offered to let them surrender, and General Anthony McAuliffe's response was "NUTS." They were eventually rescued by Patton's 3rd Army (which contained my Mom's cousin). Although, they claimed they never needed nor asked to be 'rescued.'

The reference is fine...but, given that the Lincoln Project is made up of a bunch of typical Republican chickenhawks, it's a little ironic.

[smb]

54. Also, Jarvanka's Shysters Are A Lot Less Impressive Than The German Army nt

Is that a poorly worded, dull barb or this lawyer talk?

66. TLP should go Bronx in the response, just send six words

To quote that late nite Showtime duo Desus and Mero:

SMDFTB

[RainCaster]

67. Do these lawyers keep their "hands in pocket"?

Or is that a different whacko lawyer?

[Silent3]

71. Would a sufficient legal response to this demand be "Suck it!"? n/t
