They're taking away the first amendment rights of a man who, checking notes, wanted to make defamation cases easier to prove against those expressing their opinions...
https://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2016/02/donald-trump-libel-laws-219866
Everything he says ages so so poorly. He's like the Adam of hypocrisy, all hypocrisy originated from Trump.
Why can’t I harass my rape victims? THIS IS NOT AMERICA!
That's RIGHT! BIDEN had E. Jean Carroll LUST after Trump JUST so she could sue him DECADES later! I need to DONATE to Trump QUICK to FIGHT this Biden Tatorship!
He just sees it as "ridiculous" as he never understood anyone who said "no" or "don't do this" to him.
That alleged is unnecessary, this has been settled, Trump did sexualy assault E. Jean Carroll.
yeah, but he shouldn’t need to pay, he’s rich! Won’t anyone think about HIS billions?
obligatory /s
Not sure if The Hill was on autopilot or not, but they didn't need to call it "alleged" rape, it's been proven in a court.
That it was is quite literally a basis of this defamation case...
Legally speaking, the finding of fact was "sexual abuse," because of a very stupid legal definition of "rape."
Of course he will, this isn't a surprise to anyone. He's still going to lose, but that's just on brand for him.
OK, let him bleed more on the next level. I mean, he already continued to harass and attack his victim again.
Of course he will. Anything to deny one of his victims of compensations.
Notice how he didn't immediately start defaming her this time? I guess the amount was right!
Breaking it down:
Absolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts
Well, that's not surprising...
and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt
Biden has nothing, NOTHING, to do with a New York civil case.
focused on me and the Republican Party
No, it's just you.
Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon.
It would be so much worse for you if that were true.
They have taken away all First Amendment Rights! THIS IS NOT AMERICA!
You don't have the right to repeatedly defame someone when you ALREADY lost a lawsuit for defaming them.
Speech is free, lies are expensive.
To appeal, I think he has to pay a $65 Million bond, and this is certain to be reiterated. The jury did an excellent job at not being overly punishing. He’s screwed in so many ways. He better don’t ever mention her name again in his life.
It's like she wished for a money printing machine from a monkey's paw.
So, you’re saying she found a way to monitize his inability to shut the fuck up?
If only he actually had that 83 mil….
She can't spend $83 M. She just needs to call J.G. Wentworth. Let them hound him for the debt.
She could buy a yacht.
Also, she could buy the Trump brand in the upcoming auction. Just to be fucking petty about. Sell some trump dildos.
He will, and he'll get away with it, too. Wheeee
[...] where he is the likely nominee for the Republican Party. He is also facing a total of 91 felony counts across federal charges in Washington, D.C., and Florida and state charges in New York and Georgia.
Just want to point out this gem of a paragraph out the bottom of the article...
Less than a decade ago I'd have laughed if you told me that someone could be currently in trial for best part of 100 felony charges, on top of having already been impeached for attempted insurrection, and still legitimately be a candidate for president of the United States
Less than a decade ago? Were you around to vote against Bush Sr's backbirth the first term? Were you there when he got judges to grant him his second? "Less than a decade" is a naive breadth of scope in politics, all due respect.
Bush Sr. was never indicted. He should have been for Iran-Contra, but he wasn't. Trump has 91 indictments. That's how much worse he's been than Bush Sr.
That's not the point at all, especially since I was referring to Jr. It's been murderous fucking assclowns for decades, citizen. Generations, even. (Ah, Carter. Sweet ol' Jimmy.)
Carter was the last genuinely decent human to occupy the White House. And that was over 40 fucking years ago. Goddamn, 3 full generations of self-serving assholes.
'77-'81... Nostalgia is real. 🥹
Well, "legitimately" depends on your point of view.
Well, with the point of view of someone who actually has their eyes open, Trump will legitimately be the nominee of the R's.
Scary proposition.
Whitehouse: I can't hear you over all of this money..
Wow what a giant loser!
Losing, the likes of which the world has never seen.
Nobody knows more about raping women, harassment and losing defamation cases than Donald Trump, believe me.
He does the best rapes.
Hopefully his buddy Vince will join him in losing cases
Time for bitch boy to put his money where his mouth is.
Yeah, but what will Putin do with all that cash up his ass?
