Trump has finally met his match and her name is E. Jean Carroll

https://joycevance.substack.com/p/standing-up-to-the-bully-again?utm_source=substack&utm_medium

'Today, Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, wrote to advise the judge in her remaining case in New York, referred to as Carroll I, that “Carroll has moved to amend her complaint in the present action… The proposed amendment also adds allegations concerning the verdict in Carroll II and Trump’s public response to that verdict, which involved repeating on CNN the statements the Carroll II jury found to be defamatory, allegations that we believe are now directly relevant to the issue of punitive damages on the defamation claim in Carroll I… The nature of Carroll’s underlying claim for defamation against Trump based on his 2019 statements, however, remains the same.”

The new filing asks the court to permit Carroll to update Carroll I to include the fact of the verdict against Trump, along with his comments about her on CNN and his social media posts on Truth Social. If the judge agrees, Carroll could use those allegations to ask the judge to resolve the matter in her favor without a trial or she could offer evidence to support the allegations if the case proceeds to trial. They would also be available to support a new damages claim.'

To let the Orange One act like a degenerate and get away with it. They allowed this vulgar imbecile to rise up and become our President. They enabled this narcisstic pig to spew his lies and hate and infect half of the U.S. He should have been confronted and exposed the first time he declared for the Presidency. He could have been stopped. Even now this filthy animal intimidates and insults the press and they treat him like a normal human being. Everyday the media should be labeling him as a corrupt, lying, traitorous, ignorant, vulgar, despicable and treacherous person who deserves to be locked up not a candidate for becoming the most powerful personl
on this planet.

To Jonathon LeMire this morning. The first half hour was Trump with Jonathons smirk. I have come to despise him.

Send their money to this media through their cable subscriptions. CNN gets paid, Faux News gets paid. All the “both sides” crap-hangers get paid. And the Media remains influential and profitable and a powerful tool for misleading the citizenry.

Laws do not apply. Never forget that his coup goons tore down the American flag and replaced it with a Trump flag.
He thinks he is more important than the entire American enterprise.

I love E. Jean - defame middle class women who have no fucks left to give at your peril. 😀😀😀

As the US federal AG, she would have hounded Trump constantly and prosecuted everything.

She never gives up.

CNN for defamation. They knew what Trump is yet allowed him to say it. Kaitlin was also the wrong person to question him
Let some one like Acosta or Jake Tapper to question him. Jake would have laughed in his face. Acosta would have set him straight.

I keep asking this question, no one answers why did the long shot of the camera make it look like bars around the set? Am I the only one who noticed that?

And Prince Harry just lost his case demanding security. Now we know why they pulled that 2 hour chase bit!
