Clarence Thomas really wrote a 91-page dissent against a constitutional amendment that first ensured black people and thereafter immigrants born here, are American citizens.
Grand Coon of the Federal Republic.
TIME TO SAY GOOD BYE: Russian occupation authorities have prepared plans for the evacuation of up to 250,000 people — including gov't agencies, institutions & civilians-- from occupied Crimea.
@Acosta BREAKING NEWS: Venezuelan De Facto President, Donald Trump was asked yesterday what extra US aid was going to go to the earthquake catastrophe. He said " I'm not sure where that is, I don't believe I've ever met it, and anyway the Save America Act is much more important."
Trump the Groper-in-Chief: Beauty Queen Exposes His Violent Assault and Epstein-Style Threat
Disgusting. Absolutely vile. Trump allegedly lured 23-year-old Beatrice Keul to a Plaza Hotel suite in 1993, jumped on her like a predator, groped and mauled her body while she screamed for help, then threatened her with "bad things can happen" if she talked.
This isn't a one-off — it's the same serial sexual predator pattern from a man now tied to Jeffrey Epstein, who openly called her his "prey" right after Trump's alleged attack.
Keul is one of 28+ women with similar horror stories. A jury already nailed him for sexual abuse. He denies it all, claims he "never met" them, and his team calls him "exonerated."
Enough. This is a man who weaponized power to assault women and silence them. The dam is bursting, more victims are speaking, and America should be furious.
Trump doesn't belong anywhere near leadership — he belongs in the dustbin of history with every other pedophile, rapist, and sexual predator.
Here is just a small portion of what the district judge said in one of his meticulous opinions discussing and explaining and denying Trump's post-trial motions:
“The proof convincingly established, and the jury implicitly found, that Mr. Trump deliberately and forcibly penetrated Ms. Carroll’s vagina with his fingers, causing immediate pain and long lasting emotional and psychological harm.
“Mr. Trump’s argument [against the damages award] therefore ignores the bulk of the evidence at trial, misinterprets the jury’s verdict, and mistakenly focuses on the New York Penal Law definition of “rape” to the exclusion of the meaning of that word as it often is used in everyday life and of the evidence of what actually occurred between Ms. Carroll and Mr. Trump.
***
“The definition of rape in the New York Penal Law is far narrower than the meaning of ‘rape’ in common modern parlance, its definition in some dictionaries, in some federal and state criminal statutes, and elsewhere.
“The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape.’ Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.
***
“The definition of ‘rape’ in the New York Penal Law—which the jury was obliged to apply in responding to Question 1 on the verdict form—requires forcible penetration of the victim’s vagina *by the accused’s penis.*
Accordingly, the jury’s negative answer to Question 1 means only that the jury was unpersuaded that Mr. Trump’s penis penetrated Ms. Carroll’s vagina. It does not mean that he did not forcibly insert his fingers into her—that he ‘raped’ her in the broader sense of that word which, as discussed above, includes any penetration by any part of an accused’s body (including a finger or fingers) or any other object.
***
“The trial evidence of the harm to Ms. Carroll as a result of being assaulted and digitally raped supports the jury’s $2 million award as reasonable compensation for her pain and suffering. Ms. Carroll testified in detail with respect to the physical, emotional, and psychological injury she suffered after the incident with Mr. Trump. She expressed that in ‘the seconds, the minutes following [the assault] . . . my overwhelming thought was I had died and was somehow still alive.’ She testified that when she called Ms. Birnbach immediately after the assault, ‘I had not processed it. I had not processed what was going on. I felt the hand jammed, and I felt the back of my head hurting.’ The night of the assault, she testified ‘[m]y head hurt, my vagina felt pain.’ In relation to the specific act of being digitally raped, Ms. Carroll testified that it was ‘extremely painful,’ ‘a horrible feeling,’ ‘unforgettable,’ and that the day after the assault she ‘felt [her] vagina still hurt from his fingers.’”
Paris Deputy Mayor Audrey Pulvar says the United States bears a “significant amount of responsibility” for the extreme heat wave across France:
“As the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, you bear a significant amount of responsibility for global warming and the consequences we, in France, are experiencing. So please, enough with the lecture. Just start doing your part.”
The New York Post is out here flat out lying about Mamdani saying he wants to change the Constitution to run for president while ignoring trump and Republicans actually wanting to do just that so trump can run for a third term.
