As a trial attorney myself, I can’t help but cringe at the behavior of Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, during the E. Jean Carroll trial. It’s truly astonishing to witness her lack of professionalism and disregard for proper courtroom etiquette. It’s no wonder that the judge threatened her with jail time for continually contesting his rulings.
What strikes me the most about Habba is her apparent lack of qualifications. It’s clear that her only credential is her law license and her physical attractiveness, which seems to be the main reason Trump hired her in the first place. She attended a bottom-tier law school and has no experience with complex cases or the federal courts.… Continue reading
As I observe the ongoing saga of Trump’s rage against E. Jean Carroll, coupled with his apparent disregard for Melania on their wedding anniversary, I can’t help but feel a sense of detachment. Melania clearly wants nothing to do with him. It’s evident in the way she recoils in disgust at his touch, as if she can’t bear the thought of being in his presence. But here’s the thing – she knew exactly what she was getting into when she married him.
I have zero sympathy for Melania. She willingly chose to marry this man, fully aware of his character and behavior.… Continue reading
After claiming the stock market would crash if Biden wins in 2020, Trump tries to take credit for 2024 stock market record high
It’s truly mind-boggling how some individuals continue to believe anything that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth. From his outlandish claims about the stock market to his incessant need to be the center of attention, Trump’s words and actions reek of pure delusion. He seems to live in a world where reality is disregarded in favor of his own narcissistic fantasies.
Let’s take a moment to reflect on his previous prediction that the stock market would crash if Biden won the 2020 election.… Continue reading
Trump Must Pay $83.3 Million to E. Jean Carroll for Defamation
The recent ruling ordering Donald Trump to pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll for defamation is a significant moment in the fight against sexual assault and the importance of accountability for public figures. The unanimous verdict by the jury not only sends a powerful message that no one is above the law but also highlights the need for victims to have their voices heard and believed.
The fact that Trump was found to have defamed Carroll follows a separate $5 million sexual abuse and defamation judgment issued against him last year.… Continue reading
Florida’s CFO, Jimmy Patronis, has proposed that the state pay former President Donald Trump’s legal fees. As a Floridian, I find this decision deeply concerning and disappointing. It highlights the special brand of socialism that Republicans seem to embrace when it benefits their chosen few.
What makes this proposal even more alarming is the fact that Florida is already facing numerous challenges when it comes to serving its citizens. We have hungry kids who are not being adequately fed, yet millions of dollars are being allocated to fund the legal defense of a billionaire who surely has the means to cover his own fees.… Continue reading
Donald Trump Is Galactically Angry at Nikki Haley for the Funniest Reason – The former president is suddenly very much opposed to anyone who fails to accept an election loss
It’s absolutely hilarious how Donald Trump is seething with anger towards Nikki Haley for her supposed failure to accept an election loss. The irony in Trump’s outrage is so thick, you could cut it with a knife. After all, this is the same man who has been indicted twice for his refusal to accept defeat in the 2020 presidential election. It’s rich for him to preach about accepting losses when he himself is the epitome of a sore loser.… Continue reading
As news broke that E. Jean Carroll, the woman who accused Donald Trump of sexual assault, had won an $83.3 million defamation lawsuit against him, my mind couldn’t help but ponder what she planned to do with such a significant sum of money. It’s her money, and she deserves every penny, but the possibilities for doing something good with it are endless.
One suggestion that immediately came to mind was to fund private lab testing for rape kits to ensure that physical evidence of sexual assault is handled professionally and quickly. It is disheartening to know that rape kit backlogs still persist in many states, despite the availability of funding.… Continue reading
Busted: Trump repeatedly called for jailing presidents before saying he had immunity
It’s no surprise that Trump is once again caught in the act of hypocrisy. Throughout his presidency, he tirelessly advocated for the imprisonment of other presidents, conveniently disregarding the principles of fairness and justice. It’s the classic case of “rules for thee, not for me.” But what is truly concerning is the underlying authoritarian impulse that these actions reveal.
Trump’s blatant disregard for the law and his insidious desire to have laws that punish others while ensuring his own freedom reflect a dangerous ambition for unchecked power. His legal argument that President Biden could have him, his family, the Supreme Court, and the Senate executed by the military without any intervention from the court unless Congress impeaches him is deeply disturbing.… Continue reading
Judge warns Trump jurors in E Jean Carroll trial to never reveal themselves
It’s truly alarming when a judge has to issue a warning to jurors in a trial involving a former president, as if they were jurors in a mob trial. This is not a normal circumstance, and it should not be treated as such. The fact that jurors in the E Jean Carroll trial have been advised to never disclose their identities speaks volumes about the current state of our democracy.
Let’s put this into perspective. The judge’s warning is not something you would expect in an ordinary trial.… Continue reading
E. Jean Carroll jury decides Trump must pay $83.3 million. When I read the news, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of satisfaction and vindication. Finally, justice has been served to a man who has continuously defamed and denied the rape accusations made against him by E. Jean Carroll. The jury ruled unanimously, sending a resounding message that actions have consequences, no matter how powerful or influential one may be.
The breakdown of the damages awarded was equally significant. $7.3 million for emotional damage, $11 million in compensatory damages, and a staggering $65 million in punitive damages. These numbers reflect not only the severity of the harm caused but also the message that the court wishes to send–that such behavior will not be tolerated.… Continue reading
