If this is true, and there seems plenty of evidence, then the judge that she lied to should throw the book at her

I doubt anything will happen. Have you ever been sick one day and felt fine two days later? The "evidence" is pretty weak.

I think the verdict and public humiliation of Habba was punishment enough.

It is pretty hard to make a good case against defamation when there is already a verdict in favor of the other party and there is obvious evidence of defamation. This case was a loser from the start. No lawyer can save him from himself.

Depends on the competence of both Carrol’s representation AND the terms the judge places on the payments. The judge can give Trump a reasonable amount of time to make the payment, or allow a payment schedule to be worked out, with the loser (Trump) subject to Contempt of Court and jail time if he refuses to comply. If this was NOT the case, why would ANYONE ever pay off a jury verdict? Knowing there will (always be) an appeal in these type cases, the judge can have the money put in escrow if he wants to guarantee Carrol gets paid if the appeal fails.

Frankly, the $83.3 million awarded is just plain stupid. I will let anyone call me names for $1 million. You can use way worse things than Trump said. If you actually think about it, being defamed by Trump is probably more a badge of honor than a negative to her reputation.

I think (unfortunately) this helps Trump on the campaign trail. Americans know if they defame someone they get told to STFU. They don’t get sued for $83.3 million….. unless it’s in a Democrat controlled state….


If Donnie appeals, he will have to post an appeal bond. IF he eventually has to pay when the appeals are over, E Jean will get paid. IF he doesn't pay Alina, she'll have to sue him. Could be that she's getting paid by one of the PACs and not him directly, though.

Words matter. What we say to and about each other matters. Knowingly speaking lies about someone matters. Which is why there are laws against it.

Especially when those words are from a leader to his cult telling them who the enemy is.

“I will make my decision soon!”

Why hasn’t he decided yet? I mean, if it was as unfair as he claims, the decision should already be made, no?

Maybe he knows he will lose, again.

DC Circuit panel rules 3-0 that Donny does NOT have “total immunity” in his insurrection crimes.

Saw lots of speculation that this would be a 2-1 decision because one of the judges was appointed by GHWB. By apparently even she can’t be that shameless to endorse such an idiotic theory of immunity.

I know this is difficult for many here to understand.


The RINOs are on the elite's side.

If a person wants to support the elite's side that's fine.


But the elite represent members in each party.

They work together.


If you want to attack the conservative side, that would be the red hats, not the reds.

A quick way to tell the difference, are supporters of war (RINOs) and persons that don't want to increase the budget unless they're forced to (real conservatives or non-RINOs).

I would certainly hope not. Declaring that a POTUS literally cannot be held accountable for a crime committed whilst in office...I mean, I know Trump's toadys would love it because it suits them in the moment, but probably not a good precedent.
