  1. Yeah, I got that from your previous post and assumed it would be a real reach for them to prevail. The ability to be found on searches is certainly an important issue like Sydney said, so essentially I was asking him to focus on marketing (since the odds of him winning this were slim), and if he’s going to be prohibited from marketing the way they were, they’d best get on it finding a new way to market that is effective using different descriptors. I’m sure I did a bad job of explaining that - and my first post did not indicate my assumptions on the chance of success in the court fight.
  2. No. I would never suggest calling a hamburger a “ground beef sandwich”. So you are absolutely correct that it is a bad idea to market with shitty phrases that will not produce results on searches. Which is why I suggested you talk to marketing/advertising people before you decide to go to the mattresses. In case there was a way to market your product that was not in violation of the competitor that would still reach your customers. If you’ve already done that, my suggestion is moot. If you haven’t done that, but feel that your opinion on marketing is better than marketing experts, then rock on my brother and see if the courts will give you some relief. Best of luck in any event.
  3. Perhaps a silly question, but is the description that they use the only description by which people can understand your product or services are related to a specific geographical region? By that I mean, if the bully is preventing you from advertising “New Orleans Sex Toys”, can you advertise “Crescent City Sex Toys”? There is a common human emotional reaction that opposes change, especially when the change is forced upon you - and you have had years of us before the threatened change. I assume that prior use is something that everyone at your shop is comfortable with (and is ubiquitous in your advertising). I guess I’m suggesting you step back from ‘battle mode’ and chat with some advertising/marketing gurus to see if there is an alternative marketing strategy that could separate you from them (maybe in a more catchy way) while retaining the reference to your product/services and geographic territory associated with them. Also, maybe take a look at their products and services and see if there’s anything they do where they have left themselves unprotected, trademark wise, so you can trademark that even if you don’t use it or intend to use it yet - but might serve as a bargaining chip on the other issue. Caveat: I know less about this area of the law than any other lawyer on this board, so anything I say should be given the lack of Creedence it deserves
  4. What is the response from your clients who were holding out for lower rates before they pulled the trigger? Are they jumping at this or does Hope spring eternal and they’re still sidelining it waiting for better rates?
  5. Over 40% of his voters are pissed at the way he’s handling the Epstein files. I honestly can’t think when he’s pissed his base off on a subject this much. Then again, while they remain in Team MAGA partisan denial, they are still aware (in parts of their brains that they are not allowed to access) of friends and family losing their jobs - or seeing their businesses fail/suffer because of tariffs. I think the Epstein issue allows them to transfer some of the unhappiness that they are not allowed to express about Trump‘s overall presidency in a way where they can be critical - yet still be seen as legit MAGA/Qanon and not viewed by neighbors and peers as anti-Trump. Remember the TTom J6 screed. In his deranged brain vomit post he focused very much on QAnon pedo issues. Trump was fighting with generals from his bunker - and when he won they were going to arrest all the Democrats and send them to Gitmo for trial and execution. I mean, it was really the thing he cared most about. And on this one issue, Trump not being transparent results in the drip, drip, drip Chinese water torture of multiple new revelations - like the honeypot sting and the billionaire GOP backer being on the list. By not releasing everything at once he is insuring that the story will not go away. And as QAnon and MAGA were the biggest champions of the Epstein story, and the biggest champions of a deep state cover-up, Trump telling his base that this was all invented by Democrats essentially lumps his believer base in with woke libtards.
  6. 47% of the morons who voted for the orange turd in ‘24 say that Trump is not handling the Epstein files matter well. Do tell…

  9. Oh, uh, there won't be any money Pig Cleti…but when your farms fail, you will receive our thoughts and prayers…So you got that goin' for you, which is nice.
  10. You sure of that? 401(k) is for employment income and all….
  11. cross posting this in both the Epstein and Trump economy threads. WTH?
  12. Holy shit! That’s immortal David Ferrie
  13. https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/02/politics/appeals-court-ruling-trump-alien-enemies-act-deportations-unlawful Wait! OUR Fifth Circuit?? I only have one explanation
  14. Yeah. Some become roadkill and wind up in Central Park.
  15. Only poors don’t have their own jets. Why would he care about the poors?
  16. Stupid and uncaring is not a way to go through life. You should tell him he’s a miserable excuse for a human being and that you no longer want to have anything to do with him. I mean really, he needs to know this. There should be some downside to being him.
  17. Golden visas keep going up, so now is a good time to get in while you can.
  18. Did you did you tell her she’s too stupid to be an American? Wait! On second thought, that is obviously not true.
  19. I had an older neighbor who kept falling down all the time, and one doctor told his wife to pack up every single damn pill bottle in his house and take it to him. After canceling 80% of the drugs from different physicians, the guy felt great from then on. God, I love that! Not so easy being a gay heroin addict inventing new rock ‘n’ roll genre in the 60s. But Lou didn’t give a shit. My favs on that album are Venus in Furs and I’m waiting for the man.
