Trump unleashes Truth Social attacks against E Jean Carroll while in court

The former president fired off a series of potentially defamatory statements as he arrived in court
As he arrived at a federal courthouse in lower Manhattan, Donald Trump’s Truth Social account released an avalanche of posts attacking E Jean Carroll, who is suing the former president for defamation.
A jury in New York City will determine what damages he owes Ms Carroll, whom Mr Trump defamed by repeatedly calling her a liar and denying that he sexually assaulted her.
It’s the second trial stemming from defamation claims brought by Ms Caroll, and a jury already found him civilly responsible for sexually abusing her in the 1990s. He continues to claim that he never met her and has repeatedly mocked and ridiculed Ms Carroll in the wake of that verdict.
You're viewing a single thread.
And a huge chunk of the country somehow goes, "Yep, just what I'm looking for in November."
A huge chunk of the country just down plays everything.
"OH, if it's really so bad why haven't I heard about it." I just told you mf'r.
"Trump is the victim in all this." Get fucked. In no way has that silver spoon orange cum rag ever been a victim in his life. We are talking about the person that is suppose to represent and lead umpteen million Americans and you're treating him with kid gloves.
"Innocent until proven guilty." He was proven guilty.
"It's only civil court, it's not criminal." Hold still while I shove this goalpost up your ass.
A survey done at the Iowa caucus asked "if Trump is convicted, would you still vote for him?". Only about a quarter of Republicans asked said no...
1/4 of republicans splitting the vote pretty much means a free win for dems though. Don't let the irony of this election compared to the 2016 Bernie situation slide past you lol
It's not a 1/4 who won't vote for him but a 1/4 who won't admit it.
And a portion of that 1/4 could be lieing or can change their minds. Republicans only vote for the R next to the name.
But that's beside the point. It is a fucking problem that 3/4 of Republicans have abandoned the rule of law!
They can deny it all they want but Trump lead an insurrection on the capitol and people still support him. Should we really be surprised though? There is a reason dictators come to power. If Trump wins you really have to start asking was our government really equipped to deal with the information age?
My answer is no and even as a kid I thought it was stupid we were so reliant on a piece of paper drafted 200+ years ago. Before automobiles. Before radio. Before the internet. When slave labor was still a thing.
Like it or not, America, it is your hubris that got us into this situation and your hubris that will doom the way of life so many have become accustomed to, even with all of its shortcomings.
