An attorney for E. Jean Carroll said the lesson from the recent trial with former President Trump was that “lies are gonna catch up to you someday.”
“I believe very strongly after today, that the lesson is that actually, no one’s above the law,” Shawn Crowley said in an interview on MSNBC Friday. “And that your behavior, and your statements, and your threats and your lies are gonna catch up to you someday.”
A jury ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million Friday for defaming Carroll in 2019, when he denied that he sexually assaulted her. The former president said he will appeal the verdict shortly after it was issued.
I just want to see Trump put up an 88 million dollar appeal bond.
I wanna see Trump have a stroke during one of his hate rallies.
Complete with foaming at the mouth and a seizure. Maybe chewing on his shoes or somebody’s pant legs.
I don’t want that. I mean I hate Trump but that’s pretty awful.
If I didn’t see him as a real and present danger to US stability, I would agree with you. Hell if he was simply just a poor leader I would agree with you. But in this case he is doing real damage to US politics and trust in the system. And this comes from a fairly right leaning person.
Well, that’s a whole other thing.
Imagine if he died at all, let alone in a public spectacular way, half the country would be absolutely convinced that he had been assassinated.
The best way to get rid of him is for the legal stuff to reach the conclusion that he’s a criminal, then have him lose the election in a spectacular defeat.
Right? I can’t believe you got downvoted for you opinion. Damn pitchfork crew is in full effect.
There is nothing wrong with wanting someone to die a natural death after they are responsible for a lot of unnatural deaths.
I didn’t say there was anything “wrong” with wanting someone dead, just that I don’t.
Life is miserable enough without wishing people dead.
People are going to downvote you because nuance is hard for people. Hating a person but not wanting them to die horribly can’t seem to live in most internet dummies heads’.
Can I at least wish that they would die in a manner most befitting of the way that they have lived? Thematically appropriate. Dies in the limelight with comedic timing after being asked to prove his mental acuity. Funeral is televised with literally everything gold plated. Crowdfunding for said event drains potential Republican fundraising efforts for a solid decade. Post-Trump Republicans trying to play up the demagogue position labeled as the new RINOs. All January 6th insurrectionists ultra convicted. Trump Estate dissolved pending all litigation. GOP decides not to go full crazy without demagogue support. Democrats win three straight elections as MAGA Republicans get roped into SovCit demonstrations that have no popular support at all.
But if you’re wealthy and have powerful friends, you’re probably not going to face consequences, and if you do, it will take an inordinate amount of time and effort, and you have to be extremely blatant about your transgression. Otherwise you’re gonna be fine.
Remember, this is the guy who said he could kill someone in the middle of 5th avenue and face no consequences. He’s not wrong.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The case was focused on a written statement given to reporters and South Lawn comments the former president made in mid-2019, when Carroll came out with her accusation publicly.
“I think it was certainly very important to her to come forward and then to defend herself when he called her a liar and defamed her, but the reputation that she has now is among a very large group of people really, ruined by Donald Trump,” Crowley continued, speaking of Carroll.

Yeah, but little d has gotten away with nearly everything so far. And he hasn’t paid yet.
