"The verdict included $2.02m for sexual assault and $2.98m for defaming Carroll in an October 2022 social media post where he called her allegations a "hoax".
The appeals court said testimony from two other women who accused Trump of sexual misconduct " the businesswoman Jessica Leeds as well as the former People magazine writer Natasha Stoynoff " helped establish "a repeated, idiosyncratic pattern of conduct" that aligned with Carroll's allegations."
/
"The ruling follows a separate $83.3m defamation verdict that Carroll won against Trump in January over his 2019 denials of her allegations. Trump is appealing that verdict.
Trump has consistently denied all allegations, claiming he never met Carroll and that she was "not my type".
The case is expected to continue even after Trump takes office for his second presidency on 20 January 2025, as the US supreme court ruled unanimously in 1997 that sitting presidents have no immunity from civil litigation over actions predating their official duties."
Not a problem... Trump is a 'Man's Man' to his Base; he takes what he wants because he can.
In Trump World, this is a Feature, not a Bug.

There's no mention in the article of the Judge imposing a "pay by" date. Knowing Trump's pattern, the Judge would be terribly remiss if he didn't.
But there is some good news:

Funny, the defamation was upheald but not the "rape"

Typically, an appeal bond precludes the plaintiff enforcing the judgment pending appeal. It also ensures the money is there when the judgment is final.

A federal jury, district court and circuit court disagree with you. But, by all means, don't let that stop you deluding yourself.

Neither the "rape" nor the defamation were challenged so both were upheld. The appeal sought a new trial because of exclusionary evidentiary rulings that are reviewed on an abuse of discretion standard. Such appeals are rarely successful and even more rarely granted cert. by the USSC.

You're being dishonest. Don't you ever get tired of people seeing through your attempts to cover up for a man who has a history of sexually assaulting women.
Are you covering up for Trump . . . or yourself?

The only "stupid lying bitch" is Thebull. But you don't have to worry about Trump he'll just ask Putin for more money and promise access to all American Intelligence in exchange, he'll be lucky if the military doesn't kill him in the interests of the security of the United States. I'm not recommending it but he should avoid the appearance that Putin owns him. Which he does and everyone in Washington knows it but pretends we don't know it too.

Sorry DANNI, nobody knows what you're blabbing about. You fall for every Russian hoax though.

TheBull actually accuses others of falling for Russian propaganda but he actually believes it! Hey Bull, were the Ukrainians actually Nazis?

Hey DANNI, which country did the majority of the fighting against the NAZIs?
I don't care about Ukraine and never will care about Ukraine. In fact, the only thing I know about Ukraine is that is where the Chernobyl nuclear disaster occurred and that they've duped Biden into sending them billions of dollars of our money to them. Oh and Bidens kid had some lucrative job paying 100k per month at some energy company for something he had no experience in and was not qualified to do. Smells of Democrat corruption abound.

How many of his own people did Stalin kill? 10 million 20 million? How many (more) Americans Trump plan on killing?
Trumpy.
Not as bad as Stalin.
Yet.

Comedy, right? No?
What you should know is that had the first America Firster Nazi lovers been successful in taking Europe and N Africa, America would have been next and German would be your first language now.
The US and it's Allies in Europe, now NATO, and Britain, are the reason you aren't saying Sieg Heil to Trump rather than... oh, wait, never mind. That IS what you are saying.
