Trump may have defamed E. Jean Carroll again, one day after posting a $91.6 million bond for last case - Lemmy.World
Former President Donald Trump on Saturday stood by his 2019 statement that
writer E. Jean Carroll made a “totally false accusation” against him, despite
similar claims resulting in him losing a defamation case in January. Campaigning
at a rally in Rome, Georgia, Trump referenced the $91.6 million bond he posted
on March 8, three days before his deadline to pay $83.3 million in damages to
Carroll for defaming her in statements he made as president after denying her
accusation that he’d raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s.
Carroll first came forward in 2019 with sexual assault claims against Trump
before another civil trial in May 2023, where a New York jury found that the
former president sexually abused Carroll but didn’t rape her.
Supposed adults are no longer content to claim they were “traumatized” by hearing words they found objectionable. We have to regress even further, by claiming that we were “sexually abused”, even when we were 30something years of age at the time of the incident
Is your position that sexual abuse cant occur to an adult, that when it occurs it can and should be laughed off (what other physical abuses should be treated the same) or a third position entirely?
In the not too distant past, when we were over tye age of 18 and got felt up by someone we didn’t fancy, we saw this as an obnoxious experience, and didn’t dwell on it, much less pretend to be “traumatized”. Today, entirely too many of us are pretending to be more fragile than fine china
Trump literally put his fingers inside her in a dressing room according to the deposition. But sure. Let Trump put his fingers inside you bruv, I’m sure it won’t be traumatizing.
Depends entirely upon whether or not he hands me a few million bucks, in exchange for letting him put his fingers inside me
Charging him to do it implies consent. This wasn’t consensual. The entire conversation has been about non consensual sexual contact.
