  1. > Juries now have twice awarded Carroll huge sums for Trump claiming she made up a story about him attacking her in a department store dressing room in 1996 to help her sell a memoir.

    > But that hasn’t stopped Trump from continuing to make nearly identical statements to reporters. At his news briefing Friday, he said again that Carroll was telling a “made-up, fabricated story.”

    > Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, warned in March after a jury awarded Carroll another $83 million that she would continue to monitor Trump’s comments and would consider suing again if he kept it up.

    Welp, after Trump’s news briefing today, it sounds like she needs to make another call to her lawyer. Trump’s entire campaign is a fucking grift. To everyone who knows people donating to Donald Trump, please let them be aware that this is where their money is going.

    I’m surprised that she hasn’t sued him again, truth be told, because she has every darn right to.

  3. The dog will keep pooping in the house until you finally rub his nose in it and put him outside.

  4. Everyone reading this remember this …

    IF Trump is elected EVERYTHING will be tossed out. Convictions, civil findings, money he owes in damages, future trials …. Every last fucking thing.

    We can’t let this corrupt piece of shit get elected. It’s more important than ever!!

  5. But has Trump been forced to pay even a single dime of any of the damages that she has been awarded?

    Or is he just getting away with it again?

  6. Remember when Trump said Carroll wasn’t his type and then when showed a picture of her in court he identified her as his ex wife Marla? Good times.

  7. So what? The courts have made him above the law. He’ll appeal until the end of time and the courts will have his back every step of the way. Death will catch Trump decades before the courts ever come close.

    The clips I saw from whatever *that thing* was today (it was not a press conference) were unhinged even by his standards.

  9. And she should. Again and again. 90 million~ so far…. That said, as a reminder, the judge did clarify that in the eyes of the court – Trump did rape her.

    What does it matter to anyone? Trump will end up not paying anything in the end, since everyone is so fucking afraid to hold the asshole accountable.

  11. Isn’t that a Definition of Stupid? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

  12. One of Trump’s very consistent traits is mind-numbing, all-encompassing stupidity. Nevertheless, he has millions of Americans conned by his nonsense. I am SO looking forward to him being sentenced to life (for 1/6) and impoverished because he can’t keep his mouth shut. There will be massive parties nationwide when justice is served, and the US will regain its dignity in the view of other nations.

    Trump who? Do you mean Donald Trump the pedophile, rapist, fraudster and Russian asset? Just checking.

  14. I forget—is he actually being forced to *pay* any of this, or is it still all tied up in appeals and denials and refusals and delays?

  15. Maybe she can automate her lawsuits by triggering a generic email to her lawyer every time Trump mentions her name in a news story. Just so it’s less work for her.

  16. I think there is a difference between denying or maintain ones innocence, and actively calling E. Jean Carroll a liar. If he was just doing the former there probably would be no issues, but he just cannot help but attack her whenever her name is mentioned.

    It’s insane that he still think “I wouldn’t have chosen HER to rape” is a good line of defense.

    He just said she wasn’t hot enough to rape 🤦🏻

    Surely she can sue him again and again, then hopefully again.
