    That is literally defamation. What do you think defamation is?
    Oh so defamation in your world means when someone says bad things about someone you sympathize with.

    Finally, he is being held accountable for something. He has skated through his whole life bullying and taking advantage of others, while being protected by daddy's inheritance. That's why he is still acting like a spoiled toddler, because he never had to learn the hard way that his actions have consequences. Unfortunately, I think it is too late for a learning experience for him, his devoted followers will bail him out and pay his legal fees for him through donations. So much winning...

    Nothing will bring me more pleasure if the SCOTUS rules against mango mussolini regarding Colorado in FEB.

    The real question is, did she make more or less paid from DNC coffers?

    Clinton very clearly said she was speaking of the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic... not all Trump supporters - she was not including you

    So for Trump to appeal this verdict does he have to put 83.3 million in a bond/escrow like he had to do while appealing the 5 million awarded to EJ Carroll in the first trial?
    If so, it doesn't get much better.

    'Trump posts millions in security for Carroll sex abuse ...

    CNBC
    https://www.cnbc.com › 2023/06/23 ›

    Jun 23, 2023 — Donald Trump is fighting criminal indictments in New York and Florida as he seeks to overturn a civil jury verdict that he sexually abused ...


    snip:

    'Donald Trump put up $5.6 million as security while the former president appeals a civil verdict that he sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s and defamed her decades later, a court filing Friday revealed.

    If Trump loses the appeal, Carroll will collect the $5 million a jury awarded her in the case in May, or any adjusted judgment, according to a joint stipulation submitted by his lawyers and attorneys for Carroll.


    But if Trump wins his appeal, he will get the security deposit back, “with any interest earned on such funds” while they were held in an account under the court’s control, that stipulation says.'

    Trump could have avoided the high award by shutting his mouth, but he seems incapable ... just like when he spills national secrets at dinner parties.

    So rich people should never have to face a jury trial because they are too special to be judged by the common folk of the world. Do tell.

    the fact is, these awards are idiotic-like the parents of the sandy hook children who got millions for that nut case saying the shooting was fraudulent.

    Are you a parent to one of the children who was killed at Sandy Hook?

    no but I have tried some rather large civil cases, and the awards were idiotic compared to far worse cases. and the jury was trying to compensate the parents for the deaths of their children. the court was awful in allowing that sort of idiocy to prevail. intentional unlawful killings have resulted in far lower damages such as an FBI agent-acting on illegal orders, shooting Vicky Weaver fatally

    As if she could make us believe that this humiliating defeat had no effect on her.

    This woman who claims to be a lawyer is going to have the worst year of her life.... just like her guru.

    It's only just begun.

    You TDS people could have just let him fade away. But now it seems that he will be the next President.

    Trump will appeal it until doomsday...
    Amount destined to be dramatically reduced....
    Once the SCOTUS rules, his MAGA Slush Fund will pay.

    Indeed....everyone could see Humpty just fading away after November, 2019. Did you notice that as well?

    I can't see SCOTUS upsetting a Jury finding (I am referring to the first Trial.) I can't see SCOTUS upsetting the award from the second Trial given there is zero doubt punitive damages were required. And...you watch....Humpty will go again, and there will be another Trial and more punitive damages.

    If I was his opponent or a journalist, I'd taunt the shit out of him with the finding of sexual assault, that he has to cough $M83.3 etc, and he will fall right into it, opening the window yet again for Carroll to go yet again.
