I love the definitive way they portray a civil verdict, which only requires a "preponderance of the evidence." Meaning that it was determined that there's over a 50% chance that it happened. Hardly establishes any "facts". I think your italics characterization of the alleged event come from the book she was hawking when she first filed the lawsuit in 2019. It sure didn't come from CCTV or any witnesses. Which is neither here, nor there. In the first case, $3 million was for defamation and $2 million was for the alleged rape. Even that should have raised the hackles of every Me Too SJW. But it is Trump, and the TDS runs deep. The total awards were $86.3 million for mean words and $2 Million for the alleged rape. Which, IMO, is the message that his attorneys and publicists should be sending. A smack in the face of every woman and every man who has women in their life that they love. Mean words are over 40x as bad as rape.

Not even close to modern... No nose ring, and no nipple piercings poking thru.

Most of the Thai places I eat do not have salt and pepper at the table, so I toss these in my pocket when I'm headed out. I bought them at the spice shop about halfway down the alley next to Wat Mangkon MRT station in BKK Chinatown. They have a website but it appears to be blocked today where I'm staying. They also have other keychain spices, but I just carry the salt and pepper. https://www.nguansoon.com/index.php?page=about&lang=_en

Juries that award 43 times as much money for mean words as for an alleged rape? You bet I have a problem.

You mean like all the millions of voters who believed throughout election season that the laptop was fake, but now they know better? But too late to undo their vote... That kind of fake conspiracy?

Me, too. Leftist chicks were so much easier...

With the appeal soon to follow...

Look for the the poll conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies for Newsweek found that 18 percent of voters are “more likely” or “significantly more likely” to vote for a candidate with Swift’s approval. They're pandering for Swift's support... While neglecting the real dangers of AI.

Yup. US GDP went up by $1.5 Trillion last year and all it took was driving the the national debt up by $4 trillion in the same year. They figured out how to vote themselves money from the treasury. And that seems to be a common theme across the western world. I'm not sure how much more of that kind of winning we can all stand...

I scratch my head every time I fly into Swampy and see all those jumbos lined up in such neat rows.

I'm a little more optimistic, believing that we're at the "Hard times create strong men" phase. Though the whackjobs seem to have the upper hand today. Once they no longer have the freedom or the gas money (or gas) to get to their protests, they'll quiet down.

Do a little math. The lady is 80 now. In the '90s (what year, who knows? because she doesn't) she was in her 50's. The idea that a gazillionaire would take that risk to violate a mid-50's crazy lady is rejected by a huge percentage of voters. From her book, here's proof she's whack-a-doodle crazy. This one's not about Trump. It's one of about half a dozen other guys she's accused... “He steps into the elevator behind me,” Carroll writes, “and his pants bursting with demands, goes at me like an octopus. I don’t know how many apertures and openings you possess, Reader, but Moonves, with his arms squirming and poking and goosing and scooping and pricking and prodding and jabbing, is looking for fissures I don’t even know I own, and — by God! — I am not certain that even if I pull off one of his arms it won’t crawl after me and attack me in my hotel bed. Hell, I am thrilled I escape before he expels his ink.” https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/writer-e-jean-carroll-details-sexual-assault-claims-leslie-moonves-trump-1220302/#!

Nor did the poster you questioned claim he started one. He referred to "another Biden war". It happened on Biden's watch. It's a Biden war. Another Biden war...

I think he's referring to the temporal correlation between Biden being inaugurated and SHTF all over the world. Including Russia/Ukraine, Palestinians/Israel, Iranians/USA and don't forget energy prices and the southern border. Like Vietnam. It was Johnson's war, then it became Nixon's war, though neither one of them started it. Biden didn't start today's (and next week's) wars. He just failed to keep them from happening, like the Bad Orange Man with his mean tweets did.

All you have to do is fly into Thailand on an uncloudy day like I did a couple of weeks ago to realize that clamping down on auto exhaust to reduce PM2.5 will be futile. Notice I said "uncloudy day" and not a clear day. I counted over 200 agricultural fires, some of which blanketed hundreds of square kilometers with a toxic haze. I quit counting about half an hour inside the Cambodian border.

After 302,000 in December, a reasonable person could envision a queue each day to allow 5,000 in, then tell the rest to come back tomorrow. Whether they'll wait a day, or simply sneak in between border crossings is anyone's guess. The idea of codifying and normalizing 5,000 unvetted, undocumented entries a day means we really don't have a border.

She's Biden's guaranty against ever getting impeached. Sheer genius selecting her. But not because she's competent. Just the opposite.

The gub'ment had something like 40,000 hours of video from the day, a lot of it exculpatory for some of the defendants. They refused to turn it over until recently. That, by itself would be grounds for a dismissal in a functional judiciary system. A lot of them absolutely deserve to be in prison. But every defendant deserves a fair trial. Even the guilty ones.

I'm waiting to see what the new price is. Really, I haven't bothered doing a search to see how many other vendors on Amazon and EBay are selling them. Maybe on a slack day...

Don't worry dude, with a neurological chip we will be able to speak every kind of language! It will be a wonderful and friendly world! The problem is that everyone thinks they'll be in the 50% that survives. Half of us will be sorely disappointed. For a few nanoseconds.

Me neither. I don't have enough assets to make a contingency lawyer drool. And I won't be running for office against any Dems. But if I every get filthy rich, I may just change my name so Cathy Conley can't find me. The sex was always extremely consensual, with her generally instigating. But you wouldn't have known that from the stories she told her friends after we broke up. Cray Cray is how my nieces describe it... Not unlike naming your cat "Vagina".

What frosts my pumpkin is that the USPS incurs expenses schlepping those packages around the US, subsidizing Chinese suppliers. Great for me because I get stuff cheap. Not so good for US businesses that should be selling me stuff. Or Thai suppliers who can't come close to competing. One more fidiot treaty our globalist bureaucrats signed. Rant over.
