BREAKING: AT LAST! A federal judge just ordered Trump to finally pay E. Jean Carroll her $5 million — after years of him stalling justice.

After years of legal maneuvering, delay tactics, and desperate last-ditch appeals, Donald Trump has finally run out of road.

Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered Wednesday that writer E. Jean Carroll must PROMPTLY receive the $5 million a Manhattan jury awarded her back in May 2023 — after that jury found Trump liable for sexually assaulting her in a department store in the 1990s AND for defaming her by calling her allegations "a Hoax and a lie."

It’s a scenario that would be unthinkable for anyone other than Doanld Trump. A jury of Americans found the President of the United States committed sexual assault. And he has spent years fighting, delaying, and obstructing simply paying the woman he assaulted and then publicly smeared.

The Supreme Court finally slammed the door on his appeal on June 29th. Did that stop him? Of course not. Just hours before Judge Kaplan's order, Trump's lawyers filed yet ANOTHER request asking the justices to reconsider — and to bundle this case with a separate one where a jury ordered him to pay Carroll an additional $83.3 million for defaming her in 2019.

Georgetown Law professor Stephen Vladeck called it exactly what it is: "a transparent play for time."

This is who Donald Trump is. Found liable by a jury of his peers. Ordered by a court to pay. And his response, every single time, is to burn through every possible delay tactic rather than face consequences like anyone else would have to.

Carroll's own filing put it plainly: Trump has "consistently sought to obstruct and delay payment" of a jury's verdict.

The Supreme Court is now in summer recess and won't reconvene until September, meaning Trump's latest delay tactic could buy him months. Meanwhile, his lawyers have already filed notice that they plan to appeal even THIS order.

A jury said he did it. Multiple juries, actually. Nearly $90 million in total judgments against him for assaulting and defaming one woman.

And still, he fights. Still, he delays. Still, he denies.

E. Jean Carroll deserves her money. She deserves her justice. And it's about time Trump stopped running from both.

Trump and his family have now made $4 BILLION off the presidency, including more than $3 billion from crypto alone.

Here’s a radical idea. What about having a president who wants to improve the financial well-being of ALL Americans, not just his own family and fellow oligarchs.

He’s a piece of shit.

Reporter: If you could say something to Trump, what would it be?

Trump voter: You’re a worthless pile of sh*t.

Reporter: How many times did you vote for him?

Trump voter: 3 times. That was my bad. Apparently I’m an idiot.

BREAKING: Republican Congressman Thomas Massie exposes Trump for choking off water to Colorado to punish Lauren Boebert after she voted to release the Epstein files.

This is a jaw-dropping revelation...

"Lauren Boebert, they took her over to the Situation Room, right? Like this is where if they're trying to kill or capture Osama bin Laden, this is where they are at the White House," Massie said during an interview with Tucker Carlson. "They took her into the Situation Room and tried to whip her into taking her name off of the discharge petition."

"Over Epstein?" asked Carlson.

"Over Epstein. Yep," confirmed Massie. "And then the president vetoed a bill that would have brought water to a large portion of Colorado."

"Over Epstein," Carlson repeated.

"Over Epstein," said Massie. "And this isn't even— At this point, it's not just about Lauren Boebert. Why are people in Colorado deprived of water because their representative wants to expose a sex trafficking ring?"

"I mean, none of this makes any sense at all," said Carlson.

Unfortunately, it makes all too much sense. Trump is a deeply vindictive man. He wouldn't hesitate to punish an entire state if he thought that it would hurt Boebert's political career. Hell, he wouldn't hesitate to punish the entire country if he thought it would hurt an enemy.

As for why he didn't want the Epstein files released, that's even more obvious. His name is all over those documents. We still don't have the full files, but the ones we have seen include allegations that Trump raped and sexually abused minors with his long-time friend Epstein.

The bill that Trump vetoed to punish Boebert was related to a 130-mile pipeline aimed at carrying water from the Pueblo Reservoir to roughly 50,000 rural Coloradans. Currently, those people struggle to obtain adequate water and what water they do have access to is often contaminated with salt, radioactive waste, and toxic chemicals.

The bill would have extended repayment periods for local municipalities and it passed unanimously in Congress before Trump vetoed it. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the measure would have added a relatively measly (by federal spending standards) $500,000 to the government's costs for the project. Trump vetoed it anyway. This is the same man who's now seeking $1 billion in taxpayer funds for his ballroom.

In other words, Trump chose to make innocent Americans drink harmful water because he was upset that his pedophilia had been exposed.

This is an impeachment worthy offense.

Please ❤️ and share to thank Thomas Massie!

🚨WHAT? Trump is now preparing Americans to accept gas prices DOUBLING.

With oil already around $100 a barrel, Trump says even if it hits $200, it would STILL “be worth it.” Meanwhile, families are struggling to SURVIVE while Trump just shrugs.

@OccupyDemocrats How did 77 million vote for this baboon to be in office blow my mind? I can not understand a country having a phedofile racist rapist as president, and people still support him.

@OccupyDemocrats There was no need to speak to Rachel Scott that way. Her questions were professional, reasonable, and not attacks on the president. But Donny takes offense at everything and has an infantile meltdown. 🙄 What an embarrassment!

@OccupyDemocrats What does he mean she could understand dirt better than he could? What an absolute racist Moron & he calls her a bitch as he walked away. He makes me sick to my stomach.
