So, why isn’t Trump formally designated as a sex offender? Does NY law not mandate that? Would love to require him to attend meetings and be monitored, or at the very least cease to reside forever in New York.
I often listen to C-span's call-in comments for 2 or 3 minutes -- about all I can manage, as I claim to have a low threshold for stupidity. This morning, a hyperventilating Repubican lady was yelling, 'he wasn't convicted of rape, he was convicted of defamation!'
My point: People who call C-SPAN are self-selected as citizens who care more about and pay closer attention to public affairs than the average.
You might suppose, theoretically, that Americans couldn't be that dumb; but actual experience sez: Oh, yes, they can.
Dude. I've seen a handful of comments from you, surprising because comments aren't allowed, all whining about Substack and nothing else. The rest of us have managed to get on with it. I'm sorry you don't like the new system but at some point you need to fish or cut bait.
Whether Rump raped Carroll with his penis or his fingers, all of which are reportedly substandard, the fact remains that he is a semi-ambulatory rectal polyp and should be placed in an oubliette for the rest of his life. I believe this would be of great benefit to society.
I saw a Trump flag in someone’s yard today. It extolled several of his so-called virtues but the only ones I made out as I drove by throwing up in my mouth a little were Pro Gun & Pro God.
Pro God….. what kind of person can believe those words about the most narcissistic, ie unspiritual person in public life? How can the sanctimonious bible thumpers stomach voting for this creep let alone be thrilled by him?
I went to a marina outside of Charleston SC (Bohickit) and a boat was displaying a trump flag along with the confederate flag—on July 4. I complained to the marina owner about the trump and confederate flag and it was gone the next day.

I went down to the Ace Hardware in Woodville, and the idiots who live in the house off the highway with a tRump flag and other cringeworthy banners have let their racist display pretty much go to seed.
"It’s not the *worst* PR strategy ever concocted."
For the first time since I started reading her, I have to disagree with Liz about something.
I've witnessed and even been subjected to many, many PR strategies in my (long) life and (recently concluded) career, and I cannot for the life of me recall ever encountering one worse than "that wasn't my dick, it was my finger."
In MAGA-land, it's easy to dismiss this as he-said/she-said, Gold-digging-harpie goes after deep pockets, Democrat operatives out to take down Our Great Hero, and so on. The fact that the jury believed her, that it's completely consistent with his usual behavior ("locker room talk", my heinie), and so on, means nothing to them. Their whole view of Trump is so heavily rationalized it makes one's head spin, "The Exorcist"-style.
I totally do not get "locker room talk". The last people on the planet I want to discuss sexytimes with is people with whom I am not engaged in sexytimes with. Which, unfortunately, is everyone.
PAB refused to submit DNA for Carroll 2 discovery. He may be asked for it again, as EJC saved the dress she wore- and the semen stains on it. I doubt he will submit the evidence this time, but hey, you never know how dumb he might be.
Even though I think that the judge is absolutely right, I think that he left himself open when he supplied his own language of "digitally raped".
His point is that the sexual assault that Trump committed with his fingers was horrific enough as it stood to make the jurors set the amount that they did irrespective of a single word, that they followed the law as they should have, finding 'sexual assault" and then fitting Trump's repugnant actions into it appropriately.
However, when he crawls into their heads and decides that they really thought that this was rape based on what rape colloquially means, and then adds his own language that pulls in the word the statute excluded, it can also look like him interposing his judgment for theirs.
Imagine a pro-Trump judge doing that.
Trump is a vengeance-fueled monster and may now use this to attack Judge Kaplan...and I would hate to see Trump get any victory because of errant wording.
Subway thinks we're all going to be Very Impressed with their new ad talking about their NEW fresh sliced meats!!!! I don't even know what that means. The meat could be 3 months old and just sliced today.
Yes. Probably in response to the Jersey Mike’s ads featuring Danny deVito, at least one of which has him manning the slicer. I think meat coming off the slicer may be a part of some of the other ads in the series too.
Are they serving the meats on their old "bread" product? Because if they want to impress me, they could try using actual bread to make their sandwiches.

He is a disgusting pig of a human being.

I've typed in THREE FUCKING COMMENTS!!! And yet. See yez.
Is the whole "I'm giving you folks money" moniker akin to the blue checkmark on Twitter these days?

TLDR: quitcher bitchin.
I loved that ox!
I would like to see the judge award punitive damages that double every time Trump repeats the defamation from the date of the judgment on.
Since he’s never going to pay they might as well assess damages of a billion dollars
Didn't he have to put up a cash bond already?
Can she not attach real estate?

Birb a agree.
Fact check: 100% true.

Trump supporters live vicariously through him. They wish they could also get away with all the criming he does.
They proclaim how religious they are in hopes that it will distract you from the evil inside them.
As does everyone who makes a public spectacle of how pious he is.

Faith does that to you. And hate too.
Sadly I think there’s a lot of hate behind it.

Good.
I have no doubt tRump did rape her. After all he's been accused rape by many women. Also, the pee tape is real. I'm sure of it.
It's on the purported Hunter Biden laptop😉
I guess the orange putschy grabber grabbed her genitals and a lot more. Funny, how they always return to the scene of the crime.

His finger is bigger?
That depends on what your definition of "is" is.
Dick, finger, this was an easy mistake to make, since they're both about the same size, and he hasn't seen his dick in decades.
Neither has Melania (b-dum-tssssss)
Pepsi offering a fighter jet in the 90s has to be right up there.
They got harried for that one.
Well they had to get a jump on it...
It’s very odd that Trump’s rape allegations don’t even rise to the scandal level of a tan suit or mustard.

It's close to CoffeeCupGate, though.

Based on the photo I thought E.Jean was in 'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg'....
Is a remake in the works?

Yep, he shortens his own noose every time he spews. Keep spewing asshole and bury yourself further.

Sliced on site rather than sent presliced maybe?
Yes. Probably in response to the Jersey Mike’s ads featuring Danny deVito, at least one of which has him manning the slicer. I think meat coming off the slicer may be a part of some of the other ads in the series too.
Hey! It's good enough for Jack Smith!
If “fresh-sliced meats” are new, WTF were they using before?
Soylent Green
They sure are spending a shit-ton of money on celebrity athletes to try to convince us.
Are they serving the meats on their old "bread" product? Because if they want to impress me, they could try using actual bread to make their sandwiches.
I gotta say, I am a fan of sammiches... I mean a HUGE FAN of sammiches...
Newk's Eatery has the best bread in the game, bar none.
A great sandwich on shitty bread is not a great sandwich.
