That's amazing. Do it.
I want her to drag him to court over and over. It will be, as Trump likes to say, "a beautiful thing, folks. A beautiful thing."

So much winning!
People are saying, it's a beautiful thing.
While I applaud her for her bravery, I also worry because of what his lunatic supporters have been known to do to their perceived "enemy."
Remember, they think he's literally the second coming of Christ.
She literally doesnt care. The juice is worth the squeeze.
How have I never heard that phrase before? I love it
I just remember it from Girl Next Door lol
Timothy Oliphant was a great villain in that. That line has stuck with me more than anything else in that movie though
The juice is worth the squeeze.
what a wonderful saying. personally i like "[it's just] sauce for the goose" (as a follow-up to/implying the phrase "his goose is cooked"), but what you said is seems to fit better here.
They thought the same about Hitler and an entire generation of Germans and Austrians lived the remainder of their lives in silent shame when it all fell apart.
One big difference I think.
Nazi Germany lost in outright combat against an enemy they had always said they could beat. They were decimated and many of their sycophants were killed in battle.
Unless Trump and his followers start an actual armed rebellion and get put down, I don't see how they end up ashamed.
Beating Trump in court, while it needs to be done, allows all of his followers to keep saying, "See? We told you the deep state was out to get him."
Unless Trump and his followers start an actual armed rebellion
Those people are out there. It's one of the main reasons I left Florida. A truck load of guys showed up outside my polling place in 2020 with AR's and they were asking everyone in line who they planned on voting for/if they were voting for Trump. The cops were called and they told the people who called that "as long as they weren't brandishing their weapons or threatening anyone" that nothing could be done. This was in the parking lot of a public library during voting; the cops chose to not do anything.
"Stand back and stand by" is all these people think about. They aren't making a move until Trump tells them to, but there's a non-zero chance that they start getting violent, similar to "the troubles" in Ireland in the 90's.
And our legal system fails us every single day Trump is a free man getting to flap his gums. We all know what we watched happen. We heard what he said, we saw what the aftermath was... If it was you or I, we'd be in solitary confinement yesterday.
There's a long damn time until November and I'm fearful, but there's not much I can do to change anything.
I work with a dipshit that keeps giving everyone shit for spending their money on anything besides ammo and guns. BECAUSE OF THE UPCOMING WAR!!!!! This guy is a fucking lunatic and dead serious. He would have been at Jan 6th but the boss didn't approve his vacation time. Keeping my mouth shut and not provoking this prick is close to the hardest thing I've ever done. Fuck these clowns.
If maga-country is paying for it, might as well get that money again and again.
Hey, most of us are also trying to grift MAGA folks.
We can't let Trump have it all.
I saw an instagram profile that “specializes” in Trump related AI art, and is run by a German teenager. It looked like there were paid features Trump fans could sign up for, and a lot of them were eating it up in the comments.
The account owner has just a couple pics of himself posted in a suit, and one brief explanation + a few short comments on why he loves Trump, and how he came to being a huge Trump fan. Which are all very vague/surface level reasons and come across about as genuine as the more lazy sponsored videos on YouTube.
I’m convinced this is what he’s doing lol. Also a little impressed tbh
So he's actually on her side grifting his own people for her gain.
It was 5D chess all along.
Going for the hat trick? I like your style.
It's like she found a faulty slot machine that won't stop putting out.
At what point is trump just doing what he wants and not paying? Can he go to debtors prison or something?
Its like a gift that keeps on giving!
Except he never pays
Don't forget to bring an extra set of forms to file on the way out, when he does it again in this next trial!
As long as there’s evidence and damages cover the attorney fees she can keep this going.
President Loser continuing his losing streak.
lol sure that bitch into the ground
Bitch-Tits needs to shut. His. Mouth.
I'm cool with .73 cents out of each dollar he gets donated going to others, I'd like him to talk more so he goes bankrupt before the July estimate 👍
That works for me, too. If it MUST talk, drain it of resources and money until it withers up and blows away.
The Trifecta!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An attorney representing E. Jean Carroll has indicated the journalist could sue Donald Trump for a third time, as the former president continues to speak about her client publicly.
Speaking on MSNBC's Inside With Jen Psaki on Monday night, Shawn Crowley, an attorney for Carroll, responded to the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination telling supporters at a Michigan rally on Saturday that he had not done anything wrong to Carroll, whom he claimed he did not know, and that lawsuits against him were "unfair."
In January, a New York City jury ordered that the former president must pay $83.3 million in damages to the former Elle columnist, for statements made in 2019.
Trump was previously ordered to pay Carroll $5 million in damages in May in another civil defamation trial stemming from a denial he made about her claims in 2022.
"We had really hoped that, as the jury found, that $83 million dollars would maybe be enough to convince him to keep E. Jean Carroll's name out of his mouth, apparently he showed us this weekend that he really cannot control himself and that maybe it wasn't but we will see what happens as this continues to play out."
However, attorney Bradley Moss wrote that Trump was "close, but he didn't cross the line" in his remarks.
The original article contains 517 words, the summary contains 219 words. Saved 58%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Carroll found an IRL infinite money glitch
He doesn't have any money to pay her
Every appeal ends up putting actual money in escrow. He doesn't have enough money to actually appeal this last decision + the new York fraud decision.
