Jury finds Donald Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll in civil case

This was a civil case. A private lawsuit. -

And what would those grounds be if not their political and social views? An explicit promise to find for or against the defendant no matter what evidence or arguments are brought to the case? Good luck with that. -

I forgot to check how my voice-to-text funcion interpreted voir-dire. I am so irate about it's misinterpretation that, as far as I'm concerned, this means "war, dear". -

The appeal based on the alleged prejudice of a juror is an obvious non-starter, since both sides during war dear get to eliminate potential jurors. As for alleging prejudice on the part of the judge, you might try changing your information diet. -
The format is whatever was agreed upon by the Trump team & CNN. But given the softball nature of the questions posed by this audience of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, it's not surprising that you would attempt to invoke some convenient definition of what rules this interview was supposed to follow.

So what you cite as the apparent contradictions in the jury's decision probably won't play a role in an appeals court judge's decisions. -

As has been pointed out already, appeals courts rarely overturn verdicts on the basis of the jurors' verdict. -

One of the things that puzzled me throughout the topics about the trial, was how some members were insisting that the case against Trump wasn't going well. Most of the commentators I read, left, right and center, were claiming it was going very badly for Trump. Anyway, here's a link to an article that explains not only why it went badly for Trump, but why future trials will do so as well. Trump’s Biggest Blunder in the E. Jean Carroll Trial Will Probably Doom Him in Court Again and Again The former president shot himself in the foot. He’s got more rounds in the chamber. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/05/trump-verdict-carroll-trial-takeaways-georgia-doj-ny.html -

Strange. I did a search for reports of encirclement activity subsequent to that Russian retreat. The only report about encirclement that I could find was this: Prigozhin warns of risk of encirclement of Wagnerites in Bakhmut https://finance.yahoo.com/news/prigozhin-warns-risk-encirclement-wagnerites-152732892.html

How US debt ceiling became game of political chicken

Thanks for not appreciating the point of the joke which of course undermines your baseless point about the CBO being biased. Even Fox News recognizes that isn't the case. -
House Republicans release probe into Biden family finances
placeholder replied to Social Media's topic in World News
*Deleted post edited out* What makes your comment so ridiculous is that you refer to something called the "Biden Family". So if someone is born into the Biden family or marries into it, they are willy-nilly part of a criminal enterprise? And as has been pointed out, the informant files are kept confidential to protect the informant from having their identity exposed. What's more, informant files are unvetted. Also, this file was in the possession of the Justice Dept during the Trump administration. Remember the Durham investigation? Despite it having the strong backing of the Attorney General, it found no conspiracy or deep state plottings in the Justice Dept to prosecute. You've got nothing.
