Former President Donald Trump must pay writer E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in damages for repeatedly defaming her, a jury found Friday.
The nine-person jury began deliberations in federal court in New York at 1:40 p.m. ET and reached a verdict in just under three hours.
It’s complete insanity that neither party is using this case against Trump during the primaries. Especially Haley, it’s a gift wrapped opportunity for her to score points on Trump and she completely ignores it. Her campaign was a lost cause from the start but none of the Republican candidates have acted like they are even trying.
Let me get this straight: you think the
grab em by the pussy
crowd is gonna give a flying shit?!?
Not enough lib owning to interest those chucklefucks
Maybe not the moonshine-addled MAGA crowd, but there are plenty of faux Republicans (centrists) who may.
Erm, Haley is using this for her campaign:

She’s not wrong that we can do better.
She’s just wrong in assuming she is better.
I mean, I certainly don’t intended to vote for her over Biden, even considering my distaste for Biden, but I would say she is better than Trump from what I’ve seen. She seems more like “regular” republican evil primarily dangerous due to harmful policies, which is still plenty bad to be fair, but I don’t expect we’d be as likely to have her try a coup should she lose an election.
I’d take her over Trump for sure.
But Biden over her, and like, fucking any other Democrat over Biden.
But this is where we’re at, so I guess I’ll fall in line.
I think this is my favorite dig on it

They don’t know about it. Legit know someone that doesn’t know all the legal issues trump is currently going through. Lots of “if he committed a crime why hasn’t he been charged?” It was a bit surreal. All the witch hunt talk has saturated the conversation so they don’t even know official proceedings are fully underway. They think because he hasn’t actually paid the damages to E Jean Carrol it means he wasn’t found “guilty” (because they don’t understand the nuance between civil and criminal).
You think any news station Haley watches is even talking about this?
Conservatives live in a bubble these days 100%.
Any time they step outside of it the liberal “slant” of reality slaps them in the face.
You know things like being forced to acknowledge and respect LGBTQ+ people…
And ruin her future chances at getting elected in the
republicanTrumpican party?
