Without getting into war criminal politics, all I will say today is that Hitchens smoked and drank himself to death from oesophageal cancer at age 62. Kissinger turns 100 tomorrow.

From 1970 Ed Sullivan Ike and Tina Turner Revue:

And Petcharavej is easy walk from the Ramkhamhaeng Airport link station With no insurance and no package price, any hospital in Bangkok will ask for a big up-front payment

When in USofA I often stay with friends in Vermont who use a SodaStream. They have an artesian spring on their property.

The VOA article headline might also read: Return of Chinese tourists to Bangkok, ChiangMai, Pattaya, Samui, and Phuket, etc., has pros and cons. Thailand is a big country. Easy to go/live where they ain't.

The trial is over. What is at issue is an appeal. And again, Ms. Roberta Kaplan has said Trump et al have “absolutely zero” grounds for an appeal.

The Kissinger/Schwarzenegger curse.

Yes. I posed a reasonable question: Of the number of civil sexual abuse claims that are being handled under ASA by the Kaplan firm, how many of them have a specific date and how many say they "cannot pin down" the date. In his closing argument on Monday, Trump's lawyer Joseph Tacopina said Carroll's inability to recall the date of the alleged incident made it impossible for Trump to defend himself by citing an alibi, and called the case an "affront to justice." https://www.reuters.com/world/us/closing-arguments-set-rape-defamation-suit-against-trump-2023-05-08/ So is "affront to justice" just legal puffery or is he implying some basis for appeal? Don't know right now.

Thanks for the heads up.

What to Know About the Adult Survivors Act, New York’s New Law Allowing Civil Suits Over Past Sexual Abuse Kaplan Hecker & Fink are working with a number of clients filing claims under the ASA. “[W]e are not talking about sending someone back to jail after 25 years,” Tuchman said in an interview, “we are simply talking about monetary relief. Every single person who walks through our doors has incurred enormous costs to try to resolve the mental health struggles they have faced from sexual assault.” https://www.gothamgazette.com/state/11706-adult-survivors-act-new-york-law-civil-suits-sexual-abuse This is the same firm representing Ms. Carroll. I wonder how many of the 'number of clients' filing a claim under the NY State Adult Survivors Act, when asked about when their alleged rape/sexual assault occurred, answered: I'm not sure.

Likely. Shot-down like McCain. Co-pilot of helicopter hit by RPG in Iraq 2004.

Yes. As Sen. Tammy Duckworth -- injured US veteran put it -- 'Cadet Bone Spurs'

It is one thing when there are 2 or more vehicles (or a pedestrian) involved in an accident. But as I read these topics, many of these accidents involve a motorcyclist ploughing into a stationary object like a utility pole or a concrete sewer pipe awaiting construction on the side of the road.

Yes -- I read the letter yesterday. It reminded me of this: Doctor: Trump Dictated Letter Attesting To His 'Extraordinary' Health "He dictated that whole letter. I didn't write that letter," Bornstein told CNN on Tuesday. "I just made it up as I went along." https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/02/607638733/doctor-trump-dictated-letter-attesting-to-his-extraordinary-health

Yes -- het met her for some number of seconds on a reception line at a charity function.

This is the CNN headline on the same issue: E. Jean Carroll asks judge to amend lawsuit to seek further damages for what Trump said at CNN town hall Note the word 'asks' https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/22/politics/e-jean-carroll-damages-trump-cnn-town-hall/index.html

Of course he's an interested party. He is outlining the possible basis for appeal.

Fine. Carroll's lawyer says Trump et al have zero grounds for an appeal. So I guess you might trust in that.

So what you mention has little to do with what an appeal would be about. I don't offer anything. All I am trying to do is infer -- based upon Tacopina's public comments -- what an appeal would entail at least in part. And the reason I went back to this topic is that Ms. Carroll and her attorney TODAY are now contemplating either new or amended defamation charges AND the Trump team is considering litigation against Carroll on their own behalf.

Tacopina said. “But what can’t be appealed and won’t be changed is the fact that this was a rape claim from day one and the jury rejected the rape claim even under the lowest standard allowable by law, preponderance of the evidence (or 51%) standard.” https://nypost.com/2023/05/11/trump-to-appeal-5m-judgment-in-e-jean-carroll-lawsuit/ An appeal has been filed. That'll be up to a appellate judge panel to decide if they will take the case, or were there any procedural errors involved in the decision.

Yes. Not raped OR groped.

That's the complaint filed but Carroll's lawyers. Tacopina called the jury decision both 'strange' and 'inconsistent'. My luck is not involved. In the appeal, a large part will likely be any case law or precedent where a jury has come up with -- per Tacopina -- an inconsistent verdict.

Well that's just fine when they file their new & improved defamation case who knows who the judge will be.

CAUSES OF ACTION COUNT I Battery 121. Carroll incorporates by reference all preceding paragraphs and re-alleges them as if set forth fully herein. 122. Trump committed battery against Carroll when he forcibly raped and groped her.
