83,300,000 is my new favorite number

It's like winning the lottery, only without all of your long-lost relatives crawling out of the woodwork

Gee, Donnie…maybe you could try being nice for once?

Stop asking why I’m an asshole. I don’t ask why you’re stupid.

When the verdict emerged yesterday afternoon of the verdict against Orange Jesus, the only question was the number. A previous jury had already established his guilt; he’d already been labeled a rapist. Not that this bothers MAGA Nation; Donald Trump could give a stump speed holding Nikki Haley’s severed head, and they’d cheer him like a conquering Roman god.

This jury was charged with assigning a monetary value to Trump’s years of immaturity and defamation of E. Jean Carroll. Seeing the joy of Ms. Carroll and her attorneys as they left the courthouse, it felt like something resembling justice had been rendered. Mango Mussolini had been hit where it hurts- in his wallet- and it’s been established once against that he’s a rapist and a loser.

A man who can’t stand losers will have to once again get used to being a YUUUGE one.

Not that he took the loss well, mind you….

I hate to break it to you, Donnie, but this IS America. You had your day in court…and you lost BIGLY. That’s what happens when the evidence is against you, and all you have going in your favor is bombast, lies, and assholery.

Then again, you’ve never been able to accept that you might one day be held accountable for your actions. You’ve never understood that no one is above the law, not even you.

If Donald Trump is a man of God, I’m the reincarnation of Liberace

No matter how much money you spend or how much you cry, shout, whine, attempt to intimidate, insult, or inspire your followers to attack, you can only keep Karma at bay for so long. Eventually, your criminality will catch up with you, and the American justice system will do what it does.

Meanwhile, the idjits on Trump Social are having conniptions over their hero getting pantsed by the jury in New York.

Meanwhile, I’ve been having fun with those who are crying over justice being done…or at least I will be until the MAGA mods kick me off Truth Social, which wouldn’t surprise me. I’d take it as an honor.

Messing with the trolls passes as sport for a short time, but I lose interest quickly. It’s like playing one-on-one with kindergarteners. Their defense sucks, and their jump shot needs a LOT of work.

There’s little doubt but that Orange Jesus has maliciously attacked Ms. Carroll for years, and the jury agreed. Now we get to watch him erupt. Let the fun begin.

I did notice, though, that in his posts after the verdict was rendered, he refrained from defaming Ms. Carroll.

Alina Habba, one of Trump’s lawyers, walks out of the courthouse toward the crowd of reporters that had surrounded Carroll moments before. Clad in a bright blue pantsuit, she strides over to the microphone.

“I am so proud to stand with President Trump,” Alina Habba says, when asked whether she regretted representing him. “But I am not proud to stand up with whatever happened in that courtroom.”

That’s quite a statement from a lawyer who showed she’s incapable of doing much more than defending those with unpaid parking tickets.

Yeah, what happened in that courtroom is what happens when incompetent lawyers get caught with their pants down, eh? That, and their client didn’t have much of a case. His words, tweets, and rants on Trump Social pretty much hung him on his own pétard.

A Manhattan jury on Friday ordered former President Donald J. Trump to pay $83.3 million to the writer E. Jean Carroll for defaming her in social media posts, news conferences and even on the campaign trail ever since she first accused him in 2019 of raping her in a department store dressing room decades earlier.

The award included $65 million in punitive damages, which the nine-member jury assessed after finding Mr. Trump, 77, had acted maliciously after Ms. Carroll’s lawyers pointed to Mr. Trump’s persisting attacks on her, both from the White House and after leaving office.

On a single day recently, Mr. Trump made more than 40 derisive posts about her on his Truth Social website.

And Trump’s complaining about a miscarriage of justice? Welcome to today’s coffee-spew moment. He got off easy with an $83.3 million judgment against him. And if he thinks he had a bad day today, just wait until next Wednesday, January 31st, when, in a different courtroom, he may well get hit with a $375 million penalty for being a fraud and con man.

You can’t blame the poor fool for lashing out, I suppose. He’s running for President to stay out of prison, and Karma is finally coming for him. It’s about time. After 77 years, his tired, sick, fraudulent act is catching up with him.

Donald Trump is a loser and a bully, and America is finally beginning to see the truth.

Ms. Carroll’s lawyers had argued that a large award was necessary to stop Mr. Trump from continuing to attack her. After less than three hours of deliberation, the jury responded by awarding Ms. Carroll $65 million in punitive damages, finding that Mr. Trump had acted with malice. On one recent day, he made more than 40 derisive posts about Ms. Carroll on his Truth Social website….

In addition to the $65 million, jurors awarded Ms. Carroll $18.3 million in compensatory damages for her suffering. Mr. Trump’s lawyers slumped in their seats as the dollar figures were read aloud. The jury was dismissed, and Ms. Carroll, 80, embraced her lawyers. Minutes later, she walked out of the courthouse arm in arm with her legal team, beaming for the cameras….

“This is a great victory for every woman who stands up when she’s been knocked down and a huge defeat for every bully who has tried to keep a woman down,” Ms. Carroll said in a statement, thanking her lawyers effusively.

Mr. Trump, who had walked out of the courtroom earlier during the closing argument by Ms. Carroll’s lawyer, said in a Truth Social post that the verdict was “absolutely ridiculous.”

“Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon,” he said, pledging to appeal. “They have taken away all First Amendment Rights.”

Trump would do well to note that there is no 1st Amendment right to defame and demean others publicly, and that’s why he was hit with such a significant judgment. One can’t say anything one wants about another person in a public forum if what they say defames and/or demeans them. The 1st Amendment’s freedom of speech protections are not absolute. For example, there’s no right to yell “FIRE!!” in a crowded theater, just as there’s no right to damage someone’s reputation. This is why Trump is arguing that he must have absolute immunity as President and afterward. He believes he’s above the law and should be beyond accountability, that the laws of mere mortals do not apply to him.

With four indictments and 91 counts pending against him, he may be about to discover that our judicial system doesn't share his lofty opinion of himself, which is as it should be.

With any luck, before too much longer, he'll be just another felon being fitted for an orange jumpsuit, wondering where it all went wrong.

And he’ll die a lonely, bitter old man. Karma can be a real bitch.

Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!
