Cor,

I agree.

He should pay her off and never speak of her again.

Let her fade into the background, if she'll actually go.

Doc,

"proper place"?

She won her money. Should she come back every few years for more?

Unless there is a reason for another lawsuit which if Trump is smart there won't be, she has no business stalking him.

Even she has to obey laws.

Doc,

If she insists on talking about him, she might even open herself up for a lawsuit.

I suspect he has much deeper pockets than she does.

She should enjoy her windfall, go away and find some peace.

Doc,

You have a twisted sense of reality and her limitations as a writer.

In the wacky world of blogs, sometimes people sound like mental cases.

Again...if she isn't a mental case herself, she should give up the limelight and go enjoy her money.

At some point, most "normal" people will see she's a "nut job" and "mentally sick," just like Trump said in a deposition.

Frankly, the TDS exhibited by some liberals makes them look like nut jobs themselves.

Doc,

"Bill, but my guess is bringing the case really wasn't about the money."

Oh please....it's always about the money.

You REALLY do live in a fantasy world.

Doc,

And you're not thinking at all.

Zed,

How about Jesus Derangement Syndrome?

Some people were so threatened by the truth, they wanted Jesus silenced and killed.

Zed,

What Trump has awakened will not end with his presidency.

Donner,

"But I don't see that ever really happening either."

Do you see what is going on around the world right now?

Trump is not Jean Carroll. He is involved in national and world events. Telling him to "take his money and go away" is not remotely the same thing.

What is it like to live in a vacuum?

Eb,

That is some highfalutin self-importance.

Speak,

Many years ago, when her story had just started making the tabloids, and before any lawsuit had been filed, I read her account.

Even then, there were aspects of her story that smelled fishy to me.

Then, over time, the story seemed to evolve from the original details to something that reeked of a hit job.

Speak,

I do believe Trump would be capable of such actions because he does seem to get his fingers into just about anythibg.

Speak,

"Back to back posts contradicting yourself."

Actually it's not.

I might say someone is capable of lying, but if I also say I don't believe they lied, that's not contradicting myself. I might be saying I believe both are true.

Actually, regarding Trump and Jean Carroll, I never even said what I believe Trump might have actually done to her.

I only said her story smelled fishy. Her own story was strange when I first read it.

Details didn't sound quite believable.

I just know this went over your head...don't expect me to reply to your incoherent logic.

Eff,

"you wrote that Trump got his "fingers sticky""

No...I did not say I believe Trump got his fingers sticky.

You aren't even remembering the correct word.

I asked a question directed at the straight men on this site.

I asked, "Is getting your finger stinky rape?"

That's the full extent of it. Nothing about Trump getting his fingers wet.

It was just a question.

Eff,

The detail that immediately damaged her credibility with me many years ago when first read about this was her claim that they reached the lingerie floor of a major department store and "no one is present."

No shoppers. No employees. No sales attendant. No witnesses.

That does not prove nothing happened, but when an accusation is made more than twenty years later, with no definite date and no contemporaneous evidence, such remarkably convenient circumstances should invite skepticism and not unquestioning acceptance.

And when the man involved is rich and famous, that does not make her account look any more credible.

I knew virtually nothing about Trump when I first read the story. I had no feelings about Trump and also no hatred of him influencing my reaction.

I simply found her account difficult to believe and I still do.

Eff,

I'm not minimizing anything.

I am pointing out that men who are rich and famous should probably start having women sign wavers before they start seducing her if they have any sense.

Eff,

I read the original version that came out years before any lawsuit.

I'd venture to guess the story has evolved since then.

They wouldn't have let me on the jury.

Legal,

"Bill Johnson is a sexual predator, probably small boys."

Not me.

I've always liked the beauty of a full grown man.

Speak,

"Your wife must have terrible self esteem."

Your scope of understanding the complexity of human sexuality is apparently limited.

My wife is intelligent, educated and self-aware.

She expects and deserves to be treated with respect and honor.

Her strength and love for me have held me up for more than forty years.

You would probably be shocked by how many men in healthy, loving relationships would say the same thing about their wives.

Doc,

You and I have very different ways of thinking.

That would never occur to me.

I have errands to run...
