Hopefully, everybody's heard about it by now, but I feel the need to document it for myself.

Yes - they're bigoted exclusionist assholes, and they're not even trying to hide it now.

They've gone from dog whistle to klaxon to fog horn to skywriting and fireworks. What more do we need?

What They Want

These people aren't concerned, and raising the alarm. They're not just worried that something bad will happen.

They're hoping for it. They're willing to take part in it, and to help start it.

The history is that it'll eventually wither and die, but not before lots and lots of people get hurt and killed. And there's always been a necessity for people to sacrifice themselves in the fight against this crap.

If there's a "positive" to any of this, it's the question of veracity. Trying not to be either cynical or naive, I still think the probability is fairly high that most of these idiots are pulling these stunts, and coming out with all this badass rhetoric because they know if they play to the idiot voters who say this is what they want, they can get a pretty decent government gig out of it.

They can pretend to be Ron Swanson for a while.

A New York jury, of course they’d make him pay that loon. She could be a literal pigeon and they’d rule against Trump.

The court has fined him. They won't make him pay anything. It will never survive appeal. He'll end up suing her for court costs and he'll win, just like he did against the porn star.

Same as the Kavanaugh accusers. Zero evidence, just a claim, and one brought to court at times calculated to do as much political harm as possible.

Also, that this can happen in civil courts at all is an abomination.

They have a lower threshold of evidence, but it is not supposed to be absolutely zero. It is a travesty, as is people acting like it is a criminal conviction.

Clown world.

I mean, no evidence that he assaulted her and they found him guilty. Then they found him liable for damages and set the amount insanely high. Surely anyone who's not a deranged Trump hater can see this is all punitive from judges who are putting politics first?

It is, but the issue was Trump’s defense or lack thereof. In the original trial he didn’t give a testimony, it was just his disposition. And his argument that he didn’t rape her was “he didn’t find her attractive”. Jean Carroll’s attorney’s pointed out he confused his ex-wife with Jean Carroll and he considers her ex-wife attractive. So trump entire defense was immediately destroyed. It’s essentially a he said, she said issue, and while both said some pretty questionable things, both Trump and his attorney clearly fumbled the trial.

Trump raped me in 1973. Never mind the fact that I was born in 1986, facts clearly don’t matter. Here is how I see it playing out:

Me: Trump raped me in 1973.

Trump: I wouldn’t rape JTuck, he’s disgusting and a man.

Me: defamation!!!!!! And he assumed my gender!!!!

Court: here is $83m of Trump’s money.

What a joke. Zero evidence and it’s obvious this woman is a loon. I’m not a fan of Trump, but this was a total sham cooked up by democrats. They don’t even try to hide it at all.
