The E. Jean Carroll case against President Trump is one of the strangest civil cases in American history. The foundational problem is this: Carroll could not identify when the alleged incident occurred — not even the year with any precision.
That should have killed the case as dead as a skunk on the road right there.
Without a temporal anchor, no defendant — regardless of guilt or innocence — can mount an alibi defense. Trump, who has maintained detailed calendars and staff records for decades, was denied the most basic tool of self-defense: the ability to establish where he was. That is not a technicality. It is a due process violation at the constitutional level.
Then Carroll produced the one piece of physical evidence she claimed corroborated her account — the dress she wore during the alleged incident. It was subsequently established that the dress was designed after the incident could have occurred. The sole corroborating evidence falsified her timeline.
The case proceeded anyway.
The resulting verdict was then weaponized in a defamation suit — where Trump was held liable for denying the allegation, while being procedurally barred from defending against it, because it was already "proven" in another court, regardless how flawed the procedure was. He was punished, in effect, for asserting his own innocence.
Compounding everything: coordinated professional and physical threats so thoroughly intimidated the legal community that attorneys refused these cases regardless of available fees. When you systematically destroy a defendant's ability to retain counsel of choice, you forfeit the right to a legitimate verdict.
An allegation is not evidence. Process without substance is not law. And a verdict produced under these conditions carries no legitimate authority — whatever its formal status.
Not only is it the right move to investigate Carroll, but every other person involved as well. Trump is owed serious damages here, and there may be a few people who belong in prison for their roles in the case.
@usrbinsean@KaiserLoengramm No I’m invited. They said they reserved some of the cheese just for me. They also said you are not invited due to being raped too many times
@interstatejuche The AIPAC-endorsed anti-Trump side spent 10x more on Cornyn (in office since 2002) than the entirety of the Gallrein campaign cost and still lost. Really blows a hole in certain theories.
This is because all movements tend to be seen as more serious and inspiring in their infancy, prior to taking power, than after they have done so. This is the case with every movement in all human history. I can still remember 2015-2016 in Trumps first run, when you had much of that same kind of feel around all of it, because it simply had not taken power yet. No results had occurred. Few setbacks had happened.
In essence, reality had not yet reared its ugly head. And for many, many people on the right, they are not interested in reality, and cannot stomach it. They would rather simply chase the high of the early movement, of the early days before anything really materializes.
It’s not much different, in many regards, from the type of person who chases different Christian sects or even different religions entirely, chasing that initial high of feeling enlightened and like you have something new, and then discarding that when it loses its initial luster. Politics, actual politics is not for this kind of person.
It is for someone who can continue to deal with flaws, failings, absolute nonsense, and grind and trudge through it all to work to gain power and actually shift things in the direction you want it to go in a real, tangible manner. Far too many people are involved in politics now. It just doesn’t suit them, as politics is about how one actually works within reality to advance their interests under the systems and dynamics which exist.
MAGA is simply what you have as the only vehicle to advance anything you want in any real, tangible manner. There isn’t anything else. If you don’t like it, take a real, hard look at everything, figure out if you can somehow build something that can compete with and replace it and win, or, work within it to change it and guide it in a better direction. Anything else that isn’t these two things is nothing more than masturbation.
Would also love Trump doing more in Mexico with cartels etc which he has done some. To help secure Mexico. Which if we did that decades ago to make Mexico a nice buffer similar to Canada (past Canada) then we don’t even have to worry about border because Mexicans and other South nation will just stay in Mexico and have Mexico enforce their borders
@Normannnny6@The_Random_Obv@hayasaka_aryan@LeadingReport To my knowledge the most trafficked areas are basically done and also enforced with personnel. Agree Dems or other weak leadership can come in and just unman and change everything. Thats always the case which is why I want more MAGA types in charge for rest of my lifetime
