Did she call him the rapist Donald J Trump? The same Donald Trump who raped E Jean Carroll? The woman who was raped by Donald Trump? The same rapist who also raped his wife? The same rapist Donald J Trump who described sexually assaulting woman on a radio show? The same rapist who spied on nude underage girls at his pageant? Because Donald Trump is a rapist as a matter of legal fact.
A rapist who is not only sickeningly still walking free, but is the frontrunner for the Nazi party.
I'd say that it's a new low for the Nazi party, but we all know it's not.
I'd say that it's a new low for the Nazi party, but we all know it's not.
I mean, that has more to do with how low the bar has been set. Trump has been digging diligently for decades, but the bar is halfway through the planet’s mantle.
Mantle, lol Everybody knows the Nazis fled to hollow earth at Antarctic...
The thing is, when you allow the single opposing party in our system to run against a literal Nazi party, no one wins. Except the wealthy of course.
Trump and his lawyers have been really pissing off both the judge and the jury with how unseriously they're treating the proceedings. They're gonna take two hours (an absurdly short time for a jury) and write a check for $15mil, I bet.
Trump will never pay anyone. They're going to have to garnish his pension from being president.
I am not a lawyer, but according to this site: https://www.lawyers.com/legal-info/bankruptcy/bankruptcy-basics/will-filing-for-bankruptcy-stop-a-civil-lawsuit.html
"Bankruptcy will stop almost all civil litigation matters except for family court cases involving domestic support obligations, at least temporarily."
He's looking at about 400 mill from the New York Fraud trial.
This is civil litigation. He's going to pull the Rudy G. maneuver.
It wouldn’t even be the first time he’s had to declare bankruptcy. For the ultra wealthy, bankruptcy doesn’t mean you’re financially ruined; It just means the bank has a bad day when they find out you aren’t repaying them.
There’s an old saying along the lines of “If you owe the bank $100k and can’t repay it, you have a big problem. If you owe the bank $100M and can’t pay it back, the bank has a big problem.”
Bankruptcy doesn't mean you don't have to pay the debts, it means the court is given control of your finances and decides who gets paid from it if you don't have enough to pay everyone. Declaring bankruptcy would result in his accounts being wiped out.
Not the one in Moscow.
pissing off both the judge and the jury
There’s still one other role for him to piss off if he wants to go for the trifecta.
Not in a civil trial, unfortunately.
I know. I’m just keeping score at home and looking to be able to say “That’s a bingo!”
I think they are likely to return an award for punitive damages that is closer to $150 million.
How did you come up with that number?
A few factors:
Carroll's attorney Robbie Kaplan made it a point to strategically and repeatedly use Trump's claims of being a multi-billionaire against him, including in his opening statement where he asked the jury to return punitive damages that would be sure to stop further defamation based on his self-attested net worth.
After seeing the amount that the jury returned in the Ruby and Shay Moss case against Rudy Giuliani I think that it is reasonable to expect this jury to weigh that in their deliberations, and return a similar or even greater amount in this case due to the actual finding of rape.
Everybody wants to be king for a day, and jury's historically punish the fuck out of their peers when they feel they are being disrespectful towards the victim, the court, or the jury itself. In this case I would expect them to throw the book at Trump to make a statement about the power of the jury system in the United States.
I am confident in saying that the award for punitive damages in this case will be far greater than most are expecting. I wouldn't be surprised if it was even more than $150 million. You can come back here and tell me I'm a moron if I got this totally wrong, but I don't think I do.
Considering Alex Jones' judgment was $1 billion (not that he's even pretended to pay any of it), I think caps are off the table.
I'll put the under-over at 250M
Not even counting that he's acting like a spoiled cunt during the proceedings, in full display to the jury
So more like $400M
The jury is free to return so much more (or less, heaven forbid!) than sought.
So when is somebody going to sentence this shit weasel?
Rape has a statute of limitations. Even if he came forward and said flat out that he raped her, he can’t be charged criminally for it. He can be charged civilly though, which is why he keeps claiming it never happened.
Don't forget our rapey Supreme Court Justices that serve for life and take bribes with no consequence!
You Brits and your rapey royals. At least our rapists aren't just parasitic figureheads, I guess.
"Brits"? He's the most Australian Aussie I think I've ever seen.
If they don't want to be called Brits then they should stop being part of the British Commonwealth, duh
He rapes and he saves, but he rapes more than he saves.
So has reality.
Is this the best our country can do? Two dinosaurs who act inappropriately around women and children?
I think you are (intentionally?) confusing the large gap and missing the nuance between raping, potentially even worse things as we’ve recently got more proof of, and acting goofy and awkward with greetings or whatever. Both can be described inappropriate, sure, but you have to realize there’s a long way between rape, pedophilia, and awkward greetings with kisses to forehead or whatever.
He assaulted Tara Reid and you call it a kiss on the forehead? Your blue hat must be full of mercury. You're sick
I’m sick? Blue hat?
At this point it’s clear you’re just intentionally being provocative and contrarian.
If you had a specific case to point out, such as that one, you could have just done that, instead of whatever the fuck this is.
I still don’t know the case you are referring to, which could have been a great moment to educate and inform others, instead you spent the opportunity attacking and calling me sick, for what? You boggle me. Makes no sense.
They're talking about the lying sack of traitorous shit, Tara Reade, who has a hard time telling the truth about ANYTHING, oh, and defected to Russia when things got spicy.
