Good luck to these 5 innocent, mostly vindicated guys. Mostly vindicated because shitty people like Trump refuse to accept reality and apologize for wishing 5 young men would be put to death. Trump is the one found legally responsible for rape. He’s fine with assaulting women. He simply saw 5 young black men accused of a terrible crime and used it to buy himself some virtue and cover for his own abusive behavior by paying for ad space. Get all his ill-gotten money, guys.

Trump can’t even hire Rudy to defend this suit in NYC, for several reasons. Trump allegedly owes Rudy $2 million in “fees,” for The Big Lie; Rudy is disbarred; and Rudy has no NYC home now that a judge gave him 7 days, yes, days, to hand over the keys to his $5 million apartment to the 2 GA election ladies. Go get ‘em, ladies!

His ass is already broke. Hence the Depends.

Fuck, I'm old. I remember when those guys were kids and Sharpton was morbidly obese.

I hope those guys win their case, and actually manage to get paid by that tangerine fuckwit. I've never been much of a Sharpton fan. He's been on the wrong side of a lot of things, and is a shameless self promoter. I'll give him credit for backing the five, but cautiously, assuming he's really in it to give himself a soapbox. If he manages to actually help their cause, awesome, but he's not the fucking story, much as he'd like to be.

I’m almost shocked they haven’t done this already, but better late than never.

If you were a Black person who'd been in prison for a couple of decades and were just starting to get your life back, and you also knew what kind of tooth and nail litigation fit Donald would throw to keep anything from you that he owed you because of his vicious defamation ... and you knew that the standard for getting a public figure found liable for defamation (having to prove actual malice because they are a public figure) was extraordinarily high, and as a result you didn't know how many more years of your life this lawsuit would consume, not to mention how many more of your dollar resources ...

... how long do you think it might take *you* to make up your mind 🤔

I did say almost.

What a foul, stinking piece of trash T•••p is. Everything that could be wrong with a person is a flaw he’s proud of.

Among his many pathologies: it’s like the guy’s brain gets stuck in a groove, never to escape. In that echoing empty cavity, it’s always 1980 something, Detroit a hellscape, NY lethally dangerous. And the five must always be guilty, and never mind um no they weren’t and they served decades between them unjustly. I begin to wonder if some stage magician in Vegas planted some posthypnotic suggestion to this effect at some point around then. Donald, when I snap my fingers, you will wake up, and it’s always going to be the 80s.

Bur Sir just yesterday explained that at the age of 78 years and 4 months Sir is nowhere near the 80s!

Seems kinda near.

It’s important to remember that Al Sharpton was willing to destroy lives over the Tawana Brawley fiasco. He has yet to apologize.

Everything else is spot on and Al is not running for president.

God dammit how in f*** did we end up here?

a country founded on wholesale slaughter and slavery, with a Manifest Destiny that the White Man should inherit the land of milk and honey makes it easy for racism and treating lesser people like shit pretty darn easy.

To a fascist, what are five innocent lives if it frightens the populace into submission and gets the rich the appearance of "quiet"

I hope they get everything

Just like Miss Ruby and Miss Shea are going to get everything from Rudy, including those championship rings

... if they have to send U.S. Marshalls to pull the fillings from his teeth at some point

Expand full comment

still too soon for the 'pulling fillings from their teeth'

try again in another hundred bazillion years.

Why not start now

Rudy's latest dodge is that he gave the rings to his idiot son. I can't wait until idiot son gets on a stand to confirm that and is cross-examined.

Andrew is a true idiot

$90K annually in the Trump White House to drag golf buddies around so Donald could raid the US Treasury and grift other countries on the government dime

Makes me sick

Also? If it's true? Show us the RECEIPTS.

Trump is, I believe, honestly too stupid to understand the difference between confessing to the police and pleading guilty in court.

IANAL, but I don't think stupidity is a defense in any kind of trial, criminal or civil.
