A federal appeals court rejected President Donald Trump’s bid to overturn a jury verdict ordering him to pay $83.3 million for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll. Trump had argued that judgment was both excessive and invalid following a Supreme Court decision that expanded his presidential immunity.

It's outrageous that this demented lying bitch should get a penny. Hopefully she'll kick the can before the appeals process is finished. Having no human heirs I don't think her dogs and cats will be able to continue the court appeals.

I smell the influence of Schwartz Gyorgy and the fat kiddy diddler Reid Hoggman.

GOP loyalists need to pull these same stunts on democrats. Get Tara Reade back in the country, change the laws temporarily, sue Biden in to bankruptcy and destroy his rotten family’s name. Change the laws to prosecute Obama for his shady land deals with Rezko. Think of all the dirt on the democrat leadership. Destroy that evil party and send it to the dustbin of history.

Next stop, Supreme Court. Ms. Carroll should be prepared to pay all costs if the Supremes rightly ashcan this case.

Take it to the Supreme Court. I think they’re based in reality these days, at least the majority is.

Trump should be setting out to prove what a sham the trial was. Where a judge was blocking evidence for Trump’s defense. And creating evidence against him. Also jury selection was also tainted by the judge.

Ah, but as the cultured, well-behaved little Republicans that we’re known to be, we wouldn’t consider doing such abominable things to Our Good Friends Across The Aisle, now would we?

Why, that’s just not who we are.

No police report, no witnesses, couldn't remember what year it happened, the legislature had to pass a special law to bypass the statute of limitations.

This was settled nearly 30 years ago in Clinton v Jones.

As someone who - perhaps stupidly; because in hindsight, I could have found better uses for my money I suppose - contributed to Paula Jones’ legal defense fund?

This appeal should be shot down on the basis of the appeal (”Presidential Immunity”).

The principle is important and SCOTUS ruled properly.

Call me whatever you want. But - the courts ruled properly back in the 90s and my principles extend beyond any one individual.

Call me what you want - and I make no statement regarding the merits or any errors in the trial.

But the appeal was *rightly* shot down based on the avenue attempted.... because it’s the same exact BS Bubba tried to use.

I admit I haven't delved into the Carroll case against Trump (because it sounded so lame) other than I believe the charge was that he raped her in a department store dressing room decades ago.

Do I have that right?

What would a man be doing in a department store dressing room for ladies?

Was the place abandoned and nobody around to see it? Nobody around to hear a woman being assaulted? And if no one was around it's a he said/she said. Totally unprovable.

Why would a very rich man who can get anybody he wants rape a woman in a department store dressing room?

It all just sounded so, pardon the expression, trumped up and ridiculous. Someone correct me if I have my facts wrong.

On what grounds would they take the appeal? For now, I say, IMHO, they won’t.

This will not happen. As card carrying members of the uniparty the GOP was all on board with doing this to Trump, none of them objected in any meaningful way. They failed to recognize that a line was crossed and think this was just about Trump. Wrong, the dems never cross a line thinking it's just this one time, they think 'precedent now gives us a new tool to drive the revolution forward'.

Supreme Court. Ms. Carroll should be prepared to pay all costs if the Supremes rightly ashcan this case.

Except for the fact that the US Supreme Court operates under The America Rule. So, if Carroll loses she will only have to pay her own costs and fees.
