Re: Trump Guilty/Not Guilty
As I said on the generic "Trump is Toast" thread, the jury unanimously found it more likely than not that Trump followed the M.O. he described on the Access Hollywood tape.
That it is, he "just started kissing her, grabbed her by the p#ssy." And then when she wouldn't "just let the star do it", he maliciously defamed her, with intention, spite, and a bunch of other negative words.
$5M total award, which is less than one might hope considering Trump's personal wealth, but whatever.
How the media treats him now that he's a convicted sexual abuser will be interesting. Particularly as I expect they will not treat him any differently at all.If I use the word "God," I sure don't mean an old man in the sky who just loves the occasional goat sacrifice. - Anne Lamott

Re: Trump Guilty/Not Guilty
Interesting. When is a sexual assault not a rape? Was his winky not long enough to do the job?It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

Re: Trump Guilty/Not Guilty
So feeling her up isn't rape?A society predicated on the assumption that everyone in it should want to get rich is not well situated to become either ethical or imaginative.

Re: Trump Guilty/Not Guilty
What if he continues to defame her, can she sue him again? That could be fun!Skip

Re: Trump Guilty/Not Guilty
for whatever reason, and the jury did not give a reason, they did not unanimously conclude that he penetrated her with his penis.
You'll recall that as happens typically in mob trials, the jury was anonymous - each juror identified only by an assigned number. The judge has told the jury that while they are indeed permitted to, he strongly suggests that they do not identify themselves.If I use the word "God," I sure don't mean an old man in the sky who just loves the occasional goat sacrifice. - Anne Lamott

Re: Trump Guilty/Not Guilty
How long will it take a fundraiser to come up with the $5M? Days? Hours?There is no rational, logical, or physical description of how free will could exist. It therefore makes no sense to praise or condemn anyone on the grounds they are a free willed self that made one choice but could have chosen something else. There is no evidence that such a situation is possible in our Universe. Demonstrate otherwise and I will be thrilled.Comment

Re: Trump Guilty/Not Guilty
I wonder if this is the first time FOX viewers or readers will have become aware of the suit at all.

Re: Trump Guilty/Not Guilty
A quick verdict.
Not surprising that the jury found against Trump -- he put on no defense aside from a blanket denial.
Anyone who thinks he won because he was "only" found to have sexually assaulted her is missing the point
So much for people who defended Trump was saying he had never been charged with crimes or found to have assaulted womenWhat's not on a boat costs nothing, weighs nothing, and can't breakComment

Re: Trump Guilty/Not Guilty
He still hasn't been convicted. There are still no criminal charges. I would hope that he could be prosecuted. A criminal jury, and the rules for them, are different than in a civil suit. I'd like to know, if it's an easy answer, what the basis was for the amount of damages. Might the other women who testified against him also bring their own suits, and if they were to, how might their damages be awarded if they were to prevail?

Re: Trump Guilty/Not Guilty
This whole case is strange from the beginning.
Can I ask - why was she there with Trump in the first place, ask him to buy her things and going into a changing room with him. Very messy stuff. Yuck on all of it.
Trump is a scumbag. Women who hang with him suggest flawed judgement.Last edited by Ted Hoppe; 05-09-2023, 03:51 PM.Without friends none of this is possible.Comment
