is one of my faves, and she nailed it with the Cats analogy.

And I say, "Bring it on, Eric, file that defamation suit!" One can only hope.

This from Alan Scumowitz...

However, it appears the criticism may have had an impact; high-profile attorney Alan Dershowitz claimed during a stream on right-wing platform Rumble that he convinced the Trump son to kick Mr McKay, and possibly Mr Ward, off the tour.

“‘A guy with views like this should not be anywhere near your father’s hotel, or anywhere neary anything to do with Republicans or the Trump family,’” Mr Dershowitz said of his conversation with Eric Trump. “He is a Nazi, a Nazi — not even a neo-Nazi, he’s an old fashioned Hitler Nazi.”

He said Eric Trump responded by saying he would consider his advice.

And the nazi associations are nothing new - we remember Charlottesville and "Very fine people on both sides." Not to mention the nazis who came to dinner with TFG not long ago.

And good luck suing Rachel Maddow. Just last night Lawrence O'Donnell said that back in the day he dared TFG to sue him for his remarks. And then there was Bill Maher = who never lets us forget the time he was sued by TFG - and prevailed!

she's right. Eric's not going to consider leaving them out. They'll be on the NEXT legs of the "tour" for sure. And MSNBC will keep reporting on that whole tour, not just the Trump stop.
