FameFatale Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 And his base won't care at all. He didn't lie when he said he could shoot someone on fifth avenue and still have support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espresso Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Given Trump's 25+ other accusers of sexual assault and rape going back to the 1970's, including a minor at Jeffrey Epstein's house that was going to come forward just prior to the 2016 election that withdrew her press conference due to death threats that all never got any recourse, I'd include E. Jean Carroll's name in the title. I'd also include her damages received of $5 million, which is not nearly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espresso Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Found guilty of sexual abuse and not rape, apparently. Here's the breakdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FightForTanas Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Honestly at this point hearing his name just makes me want to vomit. A nasty sexual abuser added to the list of con artist, racist, sexist, misogynist and MORE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espresso Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Just now, Sombre said: That's it? A payment? What a joke. It's a civil trial. Have you bothered following this case or even cared to look it up before commenting? A civil trial for defamation required less of a burden on the prosecution whereas a criminal trial would've had to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, which many lawyers indicate she likely would've lost, even with her friends she told at the time still explaining.

The Republican primary's still a wild-card imho, but Fani Willis' case in Georgia (which just expanded to include witness tampering) and Jack Smith's case at DOJ (which just expanded to include wire fraud) are both going to take longer than Fall 2024, at which point we're theoretically looking at Donald Trump attempting to pardon himself while in office, which has never been tried before. Unless DOJ policy of not indicting a sitting president still holds, which would create a direct conflict between Merrick Garland and Jack Smith despite having found guilt. So if Trump gets back into office this country would be on a legal cliff..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already are. I popped into a right-wing twitter space discussing the verdict and they're all laughing, belittling Carroll's word, and saying it was a "witch hunt" by liberal judges and jury. Just gross stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNN working overtime to re-normalize (for the umpteenth time) a would-be dictator who almost overthrew the government. We are royally f**ked as a society.

In a couple hours he will be sending out fundraising emails yelling about fraud and election interference by the liberal swamp followed by a link to buy a tshirt that says, "I don't know her!!" for $60 with an option (already checked) to take an additional $30/month out your checking account for his PAC.
