Former President Trump said Friday he plans to appeal after a jury ordered him to pay $83.3 million for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, who had alleged he sexually assaulted her decades ago.
āAbsolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party,ā Trump wrote on Truth Social. āOur Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon.ā
āThey have taken away all First Amendment Rights,ā he added. āTHIS IS NOT AMERICA!ā
Fridayās ruling by a jury in New York marked the second time Carroll has won damages from Trump at trial, with the new total adding to a $5 million verdict last year finding Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll and defaming her over a separate comment.
Just want to point out this gem of a paragraph out the bottom of the articleā¦
Less than a decade ago Iād have laughed if you told me that someone could be currently in trial for best part of 100 felony charges, on top of having already been impeached for attempted insurrection, and still legitimately be a candidate for president of the United States
Less than a decade ago? Were you around to vote against Bush Srās backbirth the first term? Were you there when he got judges to grant him his second? āLess than a decadeā is a naive breadth of scope in politics, all due respect.
Bush Sr. was never indicted. He should have been for Iran-Contra, but he wasnāt. Trump has 91 indictments. Thatās how much worse heās been than Bush Sr.
Thatās not the point at all, especially since I was referring to Jr. Itās been murderous fucking assclowns for decades, citizen. Generations, even. (Ah, Carter. Sweet olā Jimmy.)
Carter was the last genuinely decent human to occupy the White House. And that was over 40 fucking years ago. Goddamn, 3 full generations of self-serving assholes.
'77-'81ā¦ Nostalgia is real. š„¹
Whitehouse: I canāt hear you over all of this moneyā¦
Well, ālegitimatelyā depends on your point of view.
Well, with the point of view of someone who actually has their eyes open, Trump will legitimately be the nominee of the Rās.
Scary proposition.
