I don’t think there’s enough ketchup on the North American continent to vent a certain orange man’s spleen. I think he may have to start throwing the mustard and the soy sauce, too. Then start on the chairs and overturn the tables. E. Jean Carroll just grabbed Donald Trump by the wallet. Ho, mama, did she ever. Wheeeee, said the little piggies, as they ran all the way home. Washington Post:
The more than $83 million in combined damages far exceeds the amount Donald Trump was ordered to pay last year when a jury found for E. Jean Carroll. In that case, the jury found that he sexually assaulted her and defamed her, and awarded her a combined $5 million.
Jurors found for E. Jean Carroll on Friday, awarding her a combined $83.3 million in damages. Most of that was $65 million in punitive damages awarded after jurors concluded that former president Donald Trump acted spitefully and wantonly toward Carroll. Jurors also awarded a combined $18.3 million in compensatory damages.
More details will be revealed. Meanwhile, I’m hopping back and forth between Truth Social and Trump’s Twitter cross-posting account, (along with every other media outlet on this planet — and maybe some on other planets, for aught that we know) and there is bupkis, except for this.
Now, I can tell you that Eric hopped onto Daddy’s Twitter feed the minute this news broke and decided that it would be a great time to have a poll on whether Alina Habba or Kayleigh McEnany is more loyal to the Mango Messiah. Odd timing for this tangential nothing burger, don’t you think?
But not if you’re trying to distract MAGA, like you might try to distract a couple of six-year-olds from finding out that their parents are getting divorced. Get them interested in something, right, so that they don’t hear the screaming matches on the phone or see the lawyers walk through the door. Right. Let’s talk about Alina and Kayleigh.
And the comment made on Trump’s Truth Social account is literate enough to where he didn’t write it. “I fully disagree?” Yeah, right. If it was Trump it would have been “WAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!” And after four pages or so of that, “NO FAIR!!!!!!!!”
An 84 year old woman strikes the first blows…5 million…then 83.3 million. She could sue him again but why bother? She has shut his cakehole! That’s something the criminal law has yet to do. Geez…if an 84 year old can kick him in the nuts…Biden is three years younger! Maybe the worm has turned! Thanks Ms. Carroll! America owes you even more than the judgement you won!
I love it!! And you recall that NARA, which is a bunch of librarians, caused the FBI to execute the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago! You never know who can strike a blow! :))
Small correction, Scott Ms. Carroll just turned 80 last month.
Thanks. No woman in my experience wants to be hurried along. ha.
of course trump appeals, what mechanism is there for actually collecting? will they have to put liens on his property? I just don’t see him actually paying
One of the other cases has the courts controlling his businesses in New York.
Time for some ‘firesales’ of his ‘assets’ to cover ‘costs incurred’ by his business entities.
We might be about to find out what Mar El Largo is really worth.
One of the regular attorney commentators said there is a bond he has to pony up to assure the money is there should he lose the appeal. He also noted the judgement wasn’t outrageous thereby negating a future court lowering it. Either way he loses in court, at the bank, and in the court of public opinion. That’s why he didn’t shoot his mouth off about her after the verdict but pivoted to claiming Biden is behind it…what a freaking joke. I didn’t see Joe in the courtroom. I hope the other judges, other than loose Cannon, were taking notes on how not to tolerate his bullshit since he’ll be REQUIRED to attend his criminal trials.
Dingleberry doesn’t understand that his agreement to this award or any other, matters less than a pile of poo.
I have a prediction and it’s an easy one: dingleberry will go back to defaming Ms. Carroll on xitter, t.s., or wherever. It will not be long before Mrs. Carroll has more money than he does all because he not only has no self-control, he doesn’t even know what that is. I am looking forward to his disgrace and march to poverty.
Should the s.c. decide to get involved with this I doubt the cons on the court will have long life-spans. I think a vast majority of the country is sick of the criminal thinking laws do not apply to him. I also think the vast majority of the country is REAL sick of the s.c. lining the pockets of the wealthy and craporations with bull shit decisions. I’m not threatening the bozos; I just think someone not well-wrapped as it were will do more than threaten. Just sayin’.
