And more good news for the trump supporters.......

 

Donald Trump has been ordered to pay US$83.3 million ($136m) to columnist and rape accuser E Jean Carroll.

The former president, 77, had been found liable for defaming the journalist by lying about sexually assaulting her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s.

 

The New York jury returned with a verdict less than three hours after beginning deliberations.

 

Beware that he will start grifting again to help pay for this....NFTs anyone??

That's great.  Because I want to know how they'll spell some of those words he made up.

I think I am one that can tell the difference between wheat facts and chaff facts, and I put "Biden is a good president worthy of re election" firmly in the chaff category.

 

NB. I didn't mention Trump.

     You might be able to tell the difference between 'wheat facts and chaff facts' but you are apparently challenged in telling the difference between fact and opinion.  Falling in the fact category would be 'Unemployment in the Biden presidency has averaged at ___%, while unemployent in the Trump presidency adveraged at ____%.  Falling in the opinion category would be your 'Biden is a good president worthy of re election.'  One could, of course, cite the unemployment fact as one reason to support the opinion that Biden is worthy of reelection.

Yaa!  Cough it up, Donald, you convicted rapist. (I concur with the judge's interpretation of his sexual assault.)

    I think saying '80million that support him' is stretching it quite a bit.  In American presidential elections, large numbers of registered voters support their party and vote the straight ticket, no matter who is the candidate for president.  In the 2020 election, it was around 42% for Democrats and 38% for Republicans.  Goes both ways, Democrat and Republican. 

   So, whether they actually support the party's presidential candidate, they will, in many cases, hold their nose and vote the straight party ticket, supporting the party.   With this in mind, a political party could, if it was totally bonkers, theoretically, nominate, say, a convicted rapist, or, a convicted swindler and serial liar, or, a candidate with, say 90 or so very serious criminal indictments hanging over his head and, while not supporting him, a certain percentage would vote the straight ticket.   Hey, wait a minute . . .

I looked through the linked article, with two reactions- Biden isn't a great public speaker, and Biden sure likes to spend other people's money, not forgetting it'll probably have to be borrowed.

Where I come from, we refer to that as buying votes.  Also, throwing money against the wall to see what sticks.  It'll be years before we see if any of his infrastructure pays out, or just a bunch of boondoggles for votes and donations from the beneficiaries.

 

Gotta say, I watched parts of the so called speech and I'm impressed by the transcriber's ability to translate Klingon.  Or whatever language he was using.  Because the transcript, as bad as it looks, is a lot more lucid than the speech was.

Nice try, nobody claimed they were able to do it! 😃

 

They tried. Not to overthrow the government, to prevent the next legitimate government (President) from being certified. 

 

On the other hand, Trump did publicly claim elections have been stolen. So back to the MAGA test:

- do you believe that the 2020 election was "stolen" from trump? (Because of massive fraud, as he claims).

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins has revealed that former President Donald Trump was secretly behind the Republican National Committee’s plan to name him the presumptive GOP nominee for president, even though he publicly renounced it after it faced widespread backlash

Thank you for linking his speech. He sometimes stumbles over a few words, such as in your quote, but it is a well structured, well argued  and coherent speech.

 

Far from the erratic and incoherent 5 years old style  speeches from Trump:

 

“They go ‘missile launched!’ and you hear a bell go, I mean I see this, it’s so incredible,” he said, then praised the “geniuses” who respond to the bell to stop the missiles.

“These are not muscle guys here,” he said, pointing to his arm. Then, he pointed to his head and said, “They’re muscle guys up here.”

Trump went into sound-effect mode as he described the action:

“Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! They’ve only got 17 seconds to figure this whole thing out, right? Boom, OK. Missile launch, pssshng, poom! It’s the most ― and we don’t have it here!” 🤣

Thousands of insurrectionists attempted to stop the certification of the electoral vote in Congress. They did manage to delay the vote.

      You've gotta be kidding.  Had Trump made that tame, off-the-cuff remark it would have totally disappeared without a trace, utterly overwhelmed by all the other far more provocative, mostly untrue, remarks he makes every single day, every time he opens his mouth.  We could start off with his Big Lie that the 2020 election was 'stolen' from him.  Imagine any other politician getting a pass for that huge lie. 

     Then, maybe go on to his statement that he will only be a dictator for one day--how do you think that would be received by any other politician?  And, umm, are you sure it will only be for one day, Donnie?  Would any other politician get a pass with all the Nazi Germany rhetoric Trump has been using lately?  Or, the free ride he is getting as a convicted rapist?  (Never mind that no other convicted rapist would ever entertain the idea for even a second that they could be presidential material--big problem right there.)

    The truth is, there are so many Trump outrageous lies, gross distortions, inaccurate boasts, half-baked half-truths, wild, nutty claims, slurs, and insults in all shapes and forms, that the Press, and too many of the public, have, 1, gone numb from the sheer numbers, and, 2, been overwhelmed in trying to cover, and keep track of them all.  Remember when we were all shocked to our toes when Trump said he was so popular that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any voters?   Now, after all that has spewed out of his mouth since then, in a free-for-all foul flow, it seems rather tame in comparison.   Or, maybe I'm going numb, too.

False claim. Civil case not criminal. Level of proof is lower. You should retract that claim.

That was a joke. You really are getting desperate with your comments. Bottom of the barrel stuff.

Biden wanted Nikki. Easy win. Trump is favourite to win. Biden is scared to debate him with his current level of dementia.

sorry m'lord...i thought i'd already replied !!
but yeah, i think the were irregularities for sure and i think Trump had every right to question it. clear case of double standards , Killery didn't accept Trumps win, said he was illegitimate , still doesn't and is quite vocal about it, but don't see any of that side being censored or banned, youtube accounts shut down etc etc., and i certainly dont see jan 6th in the way you lot do. a few people walking around having photos taken, cops letting people in certain areas..there is far more to it than the dems used covidcon to push mail in ballots which had no way of being checked and verified properly.  Trump was speaking to packed stadiums, Biden either hid away totally or spoke to a handful of people, so by those differences alone i would say it looked suss, but i also understand the libtards voting 'anyone but Trump', 

oh, and i have zero cares what you or any of the TDS posse think, you are a nobody, just like everyone else here.
