Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

E. Jean Carroll defamation case #2 concluded today. Let's see how Donnie did this time.

Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in defamation damages, jury finds

The verdict came after a dramatic day in court that included the former president storming out of the courtroom during Carroll’s closing argument.

Think he learned his lesson and will stop defaming her?

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

And blue monkeys will fly out of my ass.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Carroll defamation trial three in t-minus 6 hours... He's going to do it again, but if the damages get much higher, the court is liable to order immediate payment and send in the bailiffs.

Frankly; I think the only thing that would stop trump would be ordered to publicly sign over the deed to 40 wall street, then watch as his glitz is stripped from the building and replaced with "Carroll" lettering.

 

[abates]

I'm not convinced that would stop him. He'll lie until the day he dies.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

He also apparently stormed out of the courtroom in mid-trial. Because he's a pissy little man-child.

 

[Ironbite4]

Mid-closing arguments and Happa decided to spar with the judge one more time.

Ironbite-predicitly, she got spanked.

 

[Pale Rider]

Assuming he's managed to avoid a conviction until then, if he loses the election I expect he'll declare for 2028 in a desperate bid to use his "candidacy" as protection for the next four years.

 

[wonko the sane?]

At that point it won't be to avoid jail, it'll be to have a source of income. We're quickly coming up to the point where trump is made to pay, and given all the aspects currently aligned against him: he'll be forced to watch as government sells his assets at greatly reduced values to ensure quick sale.

You can be a billionaire (he's not, by the way.) but when everything you own is priced at 10-15% value, you go broke very ******* quickly, especially when you have half billion dollar judgements against you.

 

[Rhinox]

Ha. Like he's ever going to pay. Like Alex Jones will ever pay.
They'll whing and whine and somehow finagle things to their advantage. Oh sure, crumbs will be passed out, but truly paying the judgements is not going to happen.
No, the best anyone could hope for is that this was enough for everyone around Trump to tell him to shut the hug up about Carroll. That's about it.

 

[wonko the sane?]

While I would normally agree with you (cause the rich don't face consequences in the US.), we also know that melania recently renegotiated her prenup. Watch for that: when she bails, it's because trumps assets have been handed to the bailiff.

You don't owe more than a 1/3rd of a billion to an american government without that government claiming it.

Sure you do. When your name is Trump and you have an entire party by the short and curlies.
At this point, this trial was really nothing more than a publicity stunt. Keep Trump's name in the papers, give them another headline for a text solicitation (see Coffee Horse's latest missives) and a chance for Trump to hang around another woman he finds attractive that does whatever he says, including humiliate herself.

I'm glad Carroll won. Don't get me wrong, but this morning, I'm just not feeling any kind of hope or any kind of positivity about any of it. Trump skates through like he has, raises a few million more from the gullible asshats out there, and continues on. At this point the only consequence he truly fears is a prison term. And I have serious doubts about any real time behind bars for Donny.

Same. He doesn’t care unless it means incarceration, and if that ever looked likely, I can see his legal minions quickly switching to an Uncle Junior defence. (I mean, probably with some success, given that Trump does seem cognitively impaired.)

Rudy Giuliani targets Trump for ‘unpaid legal fees’ in new filing

Mr Giuliani filed for bankruptcy last month after he was ordered to pay $148m to Georgia election workers he defamed

This should be fun.

I’m still rolling the dice on him dying from his health style and stress (maybe even suicide) before he spends a day in prison. I think it’s still up in the air if he’ll even survive through the Insurrection prosecution, given how long he and his lawyers are dragging it out.

 

[abates]

So is that it for Trump and court for now until the election obstruction case that starts March 4? It's genuinely hard to keep track!

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

I think the fraud case is due soon? He's got dozens of cases left to go.

 

[wonko the sane?]

There's a reason that he's turning the court cases into campaign stops: he's got so many he didn't really have a choice.

 

[Ironbite4]

New York's fraud trial decision comes Wednesday I believe.

Ironbite-should be fun to see Habba get spanked on national TV again.

Apparently the Trump White House Medical Unit Was Handing Pills Out Like Skittles

A Defense Department report makes the previous administration's clinic looks like a West Virginia drugstore.
