President Donald Trump was found liable for defaming Carroll in another case related to her claim of being sexually assaulted by him in the mid-1990s.

    IANAL, but perhaps he should appeal under the claim that apparently all the court documents look as though they are written in Liberian. Hardly a fair trial.

        Trump complimented the president of Liberia on the president’s good English. Liberia is an English-speaking country

          Oh! Was it the Liberian guy that Trump complimented on his good English when that’s an English speaking country? Okay, I’m slow. Funny!

    Surprised this crusty old twatwaffle doesn’t just EO that he didn’t do it. Why the fuck not at this point. There are no spines in Congress or scotus, they’ll let him do it.

      Executive orders can only instruct the Executive Branch to take some sort of action. While the Department of Justice is a part of the Executive Branch, it consists of the government’s lawyers, not of the government’s judges. The judicial branch is outside the purview of the Executive Branch, and so out of reach of a Trump EO.

      Now, would he still try? Of course he would. But it would have the same legal weight as Michael Scott yelling “I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!!”

      This isn’t federal court. You can’t EO around it, then, right?

          He can do it, but it won’t matter. EOs directed at something outside of the Executive Branch are basically just announcements.

            They are still getting followed.

            His shit about trans women in women’s sports got Lia Thomas’s records stripped from her, and I doubt any school is going to allow trans women to play anything in the future.

      Tacky ‘golden’ rapist kit.

      Balaclava with ‘golden’ thread around the holes.
      Pair of ‘real’ faux leather gloves with your initials sewn on to the back in the same golden 😏😏 thread.
      Chloroform bottle with a plastic gold coloured cap (alternatively just buy his shitty perfume, it’s the same fucking thing)
      1 weapon of choice: knife, bat, rope. Whichever you choose will be lightly wafted with some gold spray paint from a rattle can.
