Trump must still cough up at least $90M in E. Jean Carroll verdict — and soon — even though an appeal means she has to wait for it

Donald Trump has recently been dealt a significant blow, as he has been ordered to cough up at least $90 million in the E. Jean Carroll verdict. Despite his appeal, this financial burden remains imminent for the former president. Within 30 days of the judge’s written judgment, Trump must turn over either cash or a bond. While Carroll is unable to immediately access this money during the appeal, Trump himself is also prohibited from utilizing the funds. Clearly, this is a situation that has left Trump in quite a predicament.

It’s amusing to think about the possibility of Trump’s check bouncing.… Continue reading

E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer threatens to seek sanctions over Alina Habba’s “utterly baseless” claim

E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, has taken a strong stance against Alina Habba’s false and baseless claim that Judge Lewis Kaplan mentored her over 30 years ago. In response to Kaplan’s scathing letter, Habba quickly backed down and expressed a desire to forget the whole thing. This immediate retreat is not surprising, considering the lack of credibility behind her allegations.

It’s worth questioning how a competent lawyer, like Habba claims to be, would not have known about any conflicts before making such serious allegations. The fact that the New York Post article, which brought attention to Habba’s claim, only appeared after her statement to the media raises suspicion.… Continue reading

Maryland bill would force gun owners to get $300K liability insurance to wear or carry

As a gun owner, I never thought I would see the day when I would be required to have liability insurance just to exercise my constitutional rights. However, it seems that this day may be coming sooner than I expected, with the introduction of a Maryland bill that would force gun owners to get $300K liability insurance in order to wear or carry a firearm.

At first glance, the idea of requiring insurance for gun owners may seem reasonable. After all, if you are going to carry a weapon, it would be smart to have insurance to protect yourself legally. One of my close friends has a concealed carry license in Illinois, and he always carries a card in his wallet along with his insurance information.… Continue reading

E. Jean Carroll Says She Wants to Spend Her $83.3 Million in Damages on Something ‘Trump Hates’

E. Jean Carroll, the brave woman who accused former President Donald Trump of rape, has recently stated her plans for the $83.3 million that she was awarded in her defamation case against him. In an appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America, Carroll expressed her desire to use the money to support causes and initiatives that Donald Trump despises. This decision showcases her strength and determination to not let her abuser’s actions go unpunished.

Carroll’s idea of funding other trials against rapists is a powerful statement. By using the money to support legal action against perpetrators of sexual assault, she aims to bring justice to those who have suffered similar ordeals.… Continue reading

Donald Trump will not win a war against the Swifties

Donald Trump will not win a war against the Swifties. It’s a battle he shouldn’t have even started. As I sit here, reflecting on the absurdity of it all, I can’t help but chuckle at the thought of the former president of the United States waging war against the most popular singer in the country. This is a crazy timeline we find ourselves in, where an ex-president and the soon-to-be nominee of the Republican party is embarking on a futile fight against an army of passionate fans.

Let’s take a moment to analyze this situation. Does Trump really think he can defeat Taylor Swift and her legion of supporters?… Continue reading

Trump’s ‘achilles heel’? Haley’s refusal to drop out infuriates ex-president

Nikki Haley’s refusal to drop out of the race seems to be infuriating the ex-president, Donald Trump. And I have to say, it’s quite entertaining to watch. This woman knows how to get under his skin, and I have to applaud her for it. From refusing to obey his demand to drop out to out-raising him in fundraising, Haley is proving to be Trump’s Achilles heel.

What really seems to irk Trump is the fact that a woman is standing up to him. He demands 100% loyalty from his party, and anyone who criticizes or pushes back against him is met with his wrath.… Continue reading

Trump Spent $50 Million in Donor Money on Legal Bills Last Year: Report

Trump Spent $50 Million in Donor Money on Legal Bills Last Year: Report

As I read the headline, a mix of emotions surged through me. Anger, disbelief, and frustration all rolled into one. How could someone spend such an exorbitant amount of money on legal bills, especially when it was donated by their loyal supporters? The fact that Donald Trump could use $50 million in donor money for his personal legal battles left me speechless.

One has to wonder, how much of that money is actually going towards the $83 million payment for defamation? According to The New York Times, 10 cents of every dollar donated to Trump’s campaign is being directed towards Save America, which has essentially become his personal legal slush fund.… Continue reading

Judge dismisses Disney lawsuit against Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis

Judge Dismisses Disney Lawsuit Against Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis Alleging Retaliation

In a recent development, a judge has dismissed Disney’s lawsuit against Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis, which alleged retaliation. This decision raises concerns about the state of our democracy and the potential for corrupt influences to compromise fair democratic processes.

What this ruling underscores is the rottenness, racism, and corruption at the core of the conservative society. It seems that they are willing to compromise every democratic process to rig it in their favor, perpetuating an oligarchy while masquerading as a democracy. This is cause for alarm, as it suggests that we may have already reached or be dangerously close to a tipping point from which there is no going back.… Continue reading

Republicans now say it might be okay to ignore the Supreme Court

Republicans now say it might be okay to ignore the Supreme Court. As a concerned citizen and observer of American politics, I find this statement deeply troubling. The fundamental principles of our democracy are built on the rule of law and the balance of powers, with the Supreme Court playing a crucial role in upholding these principles. However, it seems that the Republican party is veering further away from its original principles in favor of partisan agendas.

One of the key issues raised is the Republicans’ selective obedience to Congressional subpoenas. They seem to believe that they can ignore subpoenas if they don’t agree with them, yet have no problem issuing subpoenas themselves and expecting them to be obeyed.… Continue reading

Mike Johnson Finally Admits Why He’s Killing the Border Deal

Mike Johnson Finally Admits Why He’s Killing the Border Deal

As a concerned citizen and someone who closely follows the political landscape, it was both frustrating and disheartening to read House Speaker Mike Johnson’s recent comments on the border deal. In a moment of absentmindedness, Johnson let slip that he has been courting Donald Trump’s opinion “at length” on the very deal he is determined to kill. This admission raises several important questions about the motivations and priorities of our elected officials.

When questioned by Manu Raju of CNN, Johnson vehemently denied that his actions were influenced by Trump’s desire to campaign on this issue.… Continue reading
