Have any M$Greedia Cable or Network stations even mentioned Judge Curiel's recent decisions? [View all]

Donald Trump actually won a small skirmish in his Trump University (TU) legal battle in the U.S. District Court in San Diego this week, but he continues to lose the war. The judge whom Trump has maligned for his Mexican heritage—U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel—cut The Donald some slack vis-à-vis the media but refused to reverse his earlier rulings and dismiss the case against Trump for his role in bilking people who enrolled in TU and received none of the promised instruction on how to succeed in real estate.

You will recall in May, after Trump became the presumptive presidential nominee of the Republicans, he began his unprovoked racist attack on Judge Curiel claiming the lawsuit against him for his role in TU was “in front of a very hostile judge.” Trump noted, “The judge was appointed by Barack Obama,” and added, “Frankly, he should recuse himself because he’s given us ruling after ruling after ruling, negative, negative, negative.” Trump claimed Judge Curiel was ruling against him because the former wanted to build a wall along our southern border with Mexico, and Trump believed the judge was Mexican. Learning that, in fact, Judge Curiel was born in Indiana did not slow Trump down, since the judge’s parents were Mexican, so he ranted on that he was being “railroaded” by a “rigged” legal system. He claimed Judge Curiel was a “hater of Donald Trump,” and the judge was a “disgrace,” who should “be ashamed of himself.” And he called for other federal judges “to look into Judge Curiel.”
