I will hope and pray this could help us get Haley . So I give a thumbs up to the verdict

Your electorate doesn't care. Haley will not be the nominee.

What's the likelihood that he will continue rambling on about her and has to pay even more?

It's breaking news on Fox--but it's before 5PM and the network is semi-normal until then.

That he will continue, high. But I think she'd have to sue again to get more.

Unironically this.

Absolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party. Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon. They have taken away all First Amendment Rights. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!

Remember when I called this a nothing burger, and everyone got furious about it?

Yes, you were wrong then and you are wrong now.

$83,300,000 is quite a lot of money for a nothingburger!

Trump will never get a fair jury in New York.

Trump will never get a fair jury in New York.

Perhaps he should take that into consideration before committing crimes / civil torts there.

Ah, here we go.

Jury awards E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million from Trump for 2019 defamatory statements

Former President Donald Trump should pay $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll for public statements he made in 2019 disparaging Carroll and denying her rape allegations, a Manhattan federal jury determined Friday.

The jury found Trump should pay Carroll compensatory damages of $18.3 million — $11 million to fund a reputational repair campaign and $7.3 million for the emotional harm caused by Trump’s 2019 public statements.

Trump should also pay $65 million in punitive damages for acting maliciously in making the statements about Carroll, the jury found.

The total is more than eight times what Carroll asked for in her initial lawsuit.

Last May, a separate Manhattan federal jury awarded Carroll a total of $5 million in damages — including nearly $3 million for defamation — after they found that Trump sexually abused Carroll and then defamed her in 2022 for public statements he made disparaging her and denying the allegations.

Apparently he has to pay this, now, as a bond while it is appealed. Because punitive is less than 10 times compensatory it's not likely to be knocked down significantly.

How long until this "billionaire" starts asking from his cult members to foot this bill?

  Trump's lawyer did such a comically bad job. Trump's "optics playbook" backfired here. How long until he throws Alina Habba under the bus?

How long until this "billionaire" starts asking from his cult members to foot this bill?

 He's been doing it the entire time.

Yeah, maybe 50 dollars per entrance in Trump's rallies, plus a monthly payment for exclusive use of Trump steaks and Trump champagne.

Doesn’t matter in the long run.

Speak for yourself.  I've got a friend who plans to live forever.  (He was once asked in a radio interview what he'd like his epitaph to be.  The reply: "He took more vitamins than anyone in history, but it didn't help.")
