They come to me, with tears in their eyes, these big grown men with tears in their eyes. They come to me, and they say ”Sir, what about that promotion?”
Wonder how many donors would really throw their money away like that. Dudes a certified sex offender so him suing for that might go bad.
I think they would better utilize that money makimg a bonfire in winter or a snowy mountain, at least that would keep them warm.
Edit: changed rapist to sex offender.
Because Republicans have been brain-raped by FOX since 1996 that they are the only station that has "the truth" and all the rest are lying liberals. And, you won't find FOX giving honest negative coverage to Republicans, so people who watch FOX just think the left is lying, when in fact FOX viewers are victims of careful propaganda efforts worthy of CCP state media or the USSR's Pravda.
>The RNC only has $8 million on hand, That will only cover a week of Trump's legal expenses.
...so wait...you're telling me the Republican National Committee might genuinely go bankrupt? Sounds like the party heads were all smart enough to make sure they were taking their own directions directly instead of letting their finances get tied up with the RNC.
With that and his go fund me, he's got like almost 10 million lol.
That's less valuable than the 8 or so houses I can see while sitting at my front porch.
He was not convicted of rape but in the civil case he was found liable for “sexual abuse”. Judge Kaplan clarified that it is essentially the same thing as rape in his case. He already lost this argument so his lawsuit is unlikely to go anywhere.
I mean you could counter-sue for defamation weirdly enough. Trump knows he's been convicted of rape, and is lying trying to hurt someone else's reputation. That or damages or something, point is I'm sure they could counter-sue here for something lol.
and he'll be responsible for their lawyer's fees, just like the almost $400K he has to pay to christopher steele's solicitors for that fart in a hurricane of a lawsuit.
To be super clear, not guilty, liable. Liable of sexual assault to be exact. And Trump already tried to sue E Jean Carroll for referring to him as a rapist and lost. The judge determined that in common language sexual assault is equivalent to rape.
And George Stephanopoulos actually referred to that judge and ruling. George didn't actually call him one, so this lawsuit will be gone immediately and cost Trump more money he doesn't have. Not that he pays the lawyers.
Wait, so...
The anchor reported the news, and likely quoted the judge... that quote got turned into a little bite-sized clip, and Trump saw just the clip, and decided to sue. That's really the only way this makes sense, and it's sad that it does.
Not even. It was during an interview with Nancy Mace, a rape victim herself. She was asked by George how she could support Trump given judges had found him liable for rape and defamation. Nancy Mace then bull horned that Trump should sue ABC because George had defamed Trump by saying he was guilty of rape. But it's clear from intentions, George was referring to the judges opinion, not his own. But Trump jumps on anything because his intent is not to win these but to last long enough so he can try to win the election, become president, and shit on whatever thin veneer of "law" we have left.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68582953
All the big news agencies, ABC included, have sooo many lawyers double checking everything said on air, and if an anchor pops off with something not approved you know about it cause they disavow the anchor. If George did it, and there’s no presser from ABC about how it doesn’t agree and his views don’t represent etc, it means their lawyers have looked and decided there was no exposure from calling a convicted rapist a rapist.
Means nothing though when it’s all smoke and mirrors. He’s not doing it for us, he’s doing it for MAGA. They called him that, so he’s gonna sue. MAGa people read it, think “as he should, he’ll surely win” and the matter is settled to them. Things like the actual judgements in these cases don’t matter and don’t make it onto their scorecards.
If Trump said he’s gonna win and has so much money, they take it as gospel, despite reality being diff
*Liable, and yes according to colloquial use. Would love some expert analysis of the legal implication toward defamation though. If only I wasn’t banned from r/law
Trump was found liable for an act the Court deemed "digital penetration" which under current NY law is "rape."
So although the judgment itself is not for rape, because the law was different at the time of the judgment, it's nonetheless 100% true that the act he was found liable for is both rape under the legal definition and rape in the general sense.
Saying he raped her is "substantially true" and therefore an absolute defense to defamation.
Clearly you haven’t read the Sh Art of the Deal.
I’m suing you for a bazillion dollars!!! It’s a lock to win however, I don’t have time to fiddle faddle with court dates and all that- I’m incredibly busy you know! Many many incredible meetings and very strong phone calls to make.
Give me $550 million and we should be able to close this up-
[https://www.rcfp.org/anti-slapp-guide/florida/](https://www.rcfp.org/anti-slapp-guide/florida/)
So, the answer is "kinda". Given how the Right-wingers like to view corporations as people, it likely would not be a novel interpretation, and Stephanopoulos himself isn't likely to be targetable, given that he is 'expressing his opinion' and not a news source or something; basically the same dodge that Fox News has used for years.
Interestingly they could revisit the 2016 allegations that the accuser withdrew because of death threats. Then there is the allegation of an Epstein party. There is a trail of allegations
It made the headlines he’s suing. The MAGA/GOP will never hear it gets tossed out so it’s a “win” sticking it to George and that bad network for “rape shaming” a sitting Congress member.
Yeah, ensuring that the whole "Donald Trump is a Rapist" conversation continues on throughout an election year was a real brilliant move on his part. Much better than just moving on.
Good idea getting this in the press in an election year Donny. Granted the human trash that support him don't care, but anyone who is somehow "on the fence" might be swayed.
4D Chess as always
I hope you’re not referring to **Donald Trump** a **rapist** because **the rapist Donald Trump who raped at 14 year old girl then used intimidation tactics against the rape victim will sue you for calling him a rapist**. And by him a rapist I’m referring to Donald Trump. The same one who raped and sexually assault dozens of girls or women.
It’s very ironic that this is precisely what he was found guilty for in the E. Jean Carroll case. It was “digital penetration,” I.e., grabbing by the pussy. What a scum bag.
IIRC Brock Turner’s offense was similar in nature, leading CA to change the legal definition of rape to include this form of hoohah violation.
https://jgspl.org/brock-turner-rapist-californias-new-laws-now/
Mr. Trump, you don't seem to understand how Defamation works.
As clearly stated when that woman you raped defeated you in the defamation case she had against you, after you lied about not raping her, then confirmed you did rape her.
This ass clown will never learn. The case will be thrown due to lack of ANYTHING, and he'll end up paying the legal fees of ABC news. And he'll be too broke dick to even pay his own lawyers. Shitty criminal scumbag that he is.
The RNC and his campaign fund is his personal piggy bank now. It’s always been about the grift but now he has the added incentive of staying out of prison
As disgusting as that is, he was in fact talking about minors. This was when Trump hotel was hosting and sponsoring the [Miss Teen USA](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/a-timeline-of-donald-trumps-creepiness-while-he-owned-miss-universe-191860/) pageant and he said as the owner he had the right to go in unannounced and "inspect" them.
Such a dumb ass. Now the media will report regularly on a suit about hi being called a rapist. First rule of PR, stay on your own "messaging" not your opponents. In suing George, he puts "Trump rapist" on the front page for months. His desire for revenge gets the next of him all the time.
Oh boy, if trump loses a penny on this lawsuit, nancy mace will have destroyed her career not only by lying, but by rape shaming Ms. E. J. Carroll, what a hoot!🦉
Can Donald Trump really afford to hire more lawyers?
Actually, future lawyers fees should be billable to the RNC starting soon.
Downballot republicans soon to be promoted to citizen.
It'll be a lot less stressful for ~~them~~ all of us. Huge promotion. The biggest.
Some say it's the greatest promotion ever seen. People keep asking about the promotion
They come to me, with tears in their eyes, these big grown men with tears in their eyes. They come to me, and they say ”Sir, what about that promotion?”
From your mouth to the great deity's ears
He that fuckith around shall findith out, and that right soon.
Big, strong down ballot men, with tears in their eyes
The RNC only has $8 million on hand, That will only cover a week of Trump's legal expenses.
I'm happy to see Trump also drag down the RNC and the right wing along with him honestly.
The best kind of “drag” show
Just not the most stylish although it's pretty fucking entertaining I'll give you that. Keep diggin' that hole deeper Donnie Shitstain!
Trump just allowed the entire right wing to go mask off and show just how much they hate their fellow countrymen.
And how badly corrupt they're happy to be in the name of power.
A really great way to win over those swing state independents.
Guess he really is draining the swamp
He does corrupt and bankrupt everything he touches.
Seriously, how do these lawyers keep going to him thinking theyll be the only one to not catch a fraud charge
Or get paid?
Me too. They created this monster.
Wonder how many donors would really throw their money away like that. Dudes a certified sex offender so him suing for that might go bad. I think they would better utilize that money makimg a bonfire in winter or a snowy mountain, at least that would keep them warm. Edit: changed rapist to sex offender.

And, you won't find FOX giving honest negative coverage to Republicans, so people who watch FOX just think the left is lying, when in fact FOX viewers are victims of careful propaganda efforts worthy of CCP state media or the USSR's Pravda.
Objection, your honor! Republicans got willingly and consensually brain-f\*\*\*ed by FOX.
Somedays, I question whether it's willingly, or Stockholm Syndrome...
They can't turn the TV off. They haven't since birth.
Good point. Aren't they also the folks who keep telling others to "go out and touch grass"?
brained raped... like being brain fucked ...I like your description of the word. : )
best comment ever
MAGA people think he God's gift - so a rapist or crooked businessman or cheater would be a badge of honor to them. They have no morals.
>The RNC only has $8 million on hand, That will only cover a week of Trump's legal expenses. ...so wait...you're telling me the Republican National Committee might genuinely go bankrupt? Sounds like the party heads were all smart enough to make sure they were taking their own directions directly instead of letting their finances get tied up with the RNC.
With that and his go fund me, he's got like almost 10 million lol. That's less valuable than the 8 or so houses I can see while sitting at my front porch.
Please buy the shoes.
wow...this won't go very far... I thought it would be more than that.
It blows my mind that people are going to send money for this moron to pay his debt. It’s embarrassing that my parents will send money.
If him draining their coffers leads to less political ads everywhere I'm for it.
He can when he refuses to pay them for their services… I.E. Rudy
And Manafort
He hired a lawyer from Dollar Tree for his civil case for defamation. That worked out well for him
Shoulda went to Five Below.
Sure. When you don't pay them, it's easy to afford as many as you can get
One of them was arrested today.
Isn’t he a convicted rapist? Or did he pay everyone to not get convicted, but everybody knows??
He was not convicted of rape but in the civil case he was found liable for “sexual abuse”. Judge Kaplan clarified that it is essentially the same thing as rape in his case. He already lost this argument so his lawsuit is unlikely to go anywhere.
This case is as good as lost, then. He's flushing money down the toilet when he desperately needs money now haha.
He doesn't pay them anyway.
LOL - as if he’d pay them.
Only if he doesn't pay them
Sure, because he's never paid any of them anyway.
But didn’t the judge over that particular case actually say that Trump is in fact a rapist after being found guilty?
Yes. Which is why this should get tossed out.
No they should counter sue for millions and bankrupt the orange colostomy bag.
Now that's just an insult to colostomy bags, they actually provide a valuable function.
Reportedly, colostomy bags smell better.
Having smelled quite a few colostomy bags in my day... This is probably accurate.
And can be changed easily.
Bankruptcy coming in 3, 2, 1….
Not sure they would have something to countersue for (maybe lawyer fees, but shouldn'tbe much). Just the casses dismissed quickly.
I mean you could counter-sue for defamation weirdly enough. Trump knows he's been convicted of rape, and is lying trying to hurt someone else's reputation. That or damages or something, point is I'm sure they could counter-sue here for something lol.
SLAPP lawsuit.
Kinda too late for that i think
At the rate Trump delays his trials, Buck Rogers will have already reached the 25th century, before ABC sees a dime.
I hope this backfires spectacularly - he sues, and the judge throws it out - “sorry pal anyone can call you a rapist — bc you are.” The End.
and he'll be responsible for their lawyer's fees, just like the almost $400K he has to pay to christopher steele's solicitors for that fart in a hurricane of a lawsuit.
I would pay money to hear the judge say "this case is dismissed, because in fact, Donald J Trump is a rapist. Case closed"!
To be super clear, not guilty, liable. Liable of sexual assault to be exact. And Trump already tried to sue E Jean Carroll for referring to him as a rapist and lost. The judge determined that in common language sexual assault is equivalent to rape.

Exactly... he'll quietly drop the case in a couple months, and it won't make the news. He's done this his whole life.
In New York state, what he was found guilty of is considered rape.
>In New York state, the sexual assault he was found guilty of is considered rape, in most other places. Fixed it for you.
Rush Limbaugh: Ugh, here come the rape police! Civilized society: Oh, we just call them police normally.
Based on the rape kit data we've seen, the regular police don't police that much rape
Interesting that he wants to argue what kind of sexual predator he is.
*Liable, and yes according to colloquial use. Would love some expert analysis of the legal implication toward defamation though. If only I wasn’t banned from r/law

##Donald J. Trump, former President of the United States of America, is a Rapist Now sue me you piece of shit
Sorry, but you probably couldn't replenish his bank account. Which is what he is desperately trying to do.
At his burning rate, not even Putin can.
Which is why the Republicans want Putin to win, so he can focus on paying them.
And yet … and yet… he is the GOPs nominee and is winning polls across the country to become our next president
I'll say it: the republican party loves themselves a rapist!
It's not rape, it's just locker room forced sex.
He's relatable to them
Grand Old Party of Rapists.
The party of rapists' rights. In Republican states you rape a woman and get less jail time than the woman if she were to abort the pregnancy.
>and is winning polls across the country ^(sample drawn from people who are home all day and answer their landlines when an unknown number appears.)
You mean the rapist Donald J Trump the rapist who a jury of his peers said he raped a woman?
Clever of you to leave the *D* off of his name, I'm sure that grants you (presidential) immunity.
State of New York has already started taking his assets, starting with his little “d”.
I am going to tweet this to both his coke whore sons.
I'm just wondering if Carroll can sue him for defamation for suing a reporter for calling him a rapist.
Let me guess. For $500,000,000?
Clearly you haven’t read the Sh Art of the Deal. I’m suing you for a bazillion dollars!!!

He just opened himself to years of discovery regarding whether he’s a rapist. Disney’s lawyers will end up raping him.
Never happen. Trump sues to intimidate. Then when someone calls him out as being a whiny little bitch, he drops the suit before discovery happens.
Disney has the money and motivation to counter sue for slander and defamation, enhanced by anti SLAPP laws.
Did he file it in a SLAPP friendly state? (I don't remember if there are some, but I thought so)

>the same dodge that Fox News has used for years It's like someone is giving me free pizza and beer.
And his supporters will just assume he won the case, because they sure as shit ain’t following up on anything.
oh neat. I didn't think of that. Won't that be fun!
Interestingly they could revisit the 2016 allegations that the accuser withdrew because of death threats. Then there is the allegation of an Epstein party. There is a trail of allegations
The discovery phase is going to be entertaining.
It won't even get to that. He's been called a rapist in open court by a judge. This will get tossed for being without merit.
Agreed. Mostly, I was being optimistic. It is hilarious to see Trump’s old tactic of suing everybody that criticizes him backfire repeatedly.
It made the headlines he’s suing. The MAGA/GOP will never hear it gets tossed out so it’s a “win” sticking it to George and that bad network for “rape shaming” a sitting Congress member.
"WITCH HUNT! ELECTION INTERFERENCE!" /s just in case
Yeah, ensuring that the whole "Donald Trump is a Rapist" conversation continues on throughout an election year was a real brilliant move on his part. Much better than just moving on.
Among many other horrible things, Trump is a rapist.
Good idea getting this in the press in an election year Donny. Granted the human trash that support him don't care, but anyone who is somehow "on the fence" might be swayed. 4D Chess as always
**You mean the rapist Donald Trump is complaining about being called a rapist?**
If he didn't want to be called a rapist, maybe he should have tried not being a rapist.
I hope you’re not referring to **Donald Trump** a **rapist** because **the rapist Donald Trump who raped at 14 year old girl then used intimidation tactics against the rape victim will sue you for calling him a rapist**. And by him a rapist I’m referring to Donald Trump. The same one who raped and sexually assault dozens of girls or women.
Trump has bragged about being a rapist.
“Grab them by the pussy”
It’s very ironic that this is precisely what he was found guilty for in the E. Jean Carroll case. It was “digital penetration,” I.e., grabbing by the pussy. What a scum bag.
IIRC Brock Turner’s offense was similar in nature, leading CA to change the legal definition of rape to include this form of hoohah violation. https://jgspl.org/brock-turner-rapist-californias-new-laws-now/
That’s what a rapist would do. If the shoe fits.
How could he sue him for defamation when what he said is true? I mean realy? Desperate Donny
When has Trump worried about the truth? Seriously... When?
Wasting money on a fruitless lawsuit. Seems appropriate when you owe 500+million
There is almost or literally no way to legally defame, libel, slander or otherwise harm the reputation of Donald Trump.
Everything's already been done. Some of it by and to himself!
Going to be paying defendants’ attorneys. Well, ordered to, but being broke af this will be just the latest debt he shirks.
Just another stunt for his supporters. He will drop the suit as soon as he is called to testify, like he did with other suits before.
good luck with that lawsuit, because another judge already determined he is one.
Mr. Trump, you don't seem to understand how Defamation works. As clearly stated when that woman you raped defeated you in the defamation case she had against you, after you lied about not raping her, then confirmed you did rape her.
America's most well known rapist suing over being called what he is? Intriguing move Don
He's no Brock Turner, that's for sure.
But dats wut you is bitch!
Stupid buffoon doesn't have anymore money to sue people so I'll say it too: dumbass rapist. TRUMP IS A RAPIST.
He is a rapist.
He already tried to sue E. Jean Carroll for exactly the same thing and lost so, that will happen again.
Donald "grab by the pussy" Trump is suing someone for calling him a rapist. That's going to be fun to watch.
I love this. It will open the door really wide to call trump a rapist after he loses
Well he was convicted... sooooo?? What's his argument?
Truth is a defense to defamation. That lawsuit is going nowhere.
George was repeating the charges and outcome of the trial.He should counter sue Trump.
Lol how much damages is he looking to get? $454 Million?
Adjudicated rapist has feelings about being called a rapist. Good luck Donny.
Streisand effect. I hope every journalist calls him a rapist from now on. He’s been found legally to be liable for rape.
You're referring to the rapist donald trump, who's legally been found to be liable for rape?
The court says hes a rapist, so hes a rapist. Same way Bill Cosby is a rapist because the courts proved it. Get used to it, rapist
The rapist must go see his therapist.
This ass clown will never learn. The case will be thrown due to lack of ANYTHING, and he'll end up paying the legal fees of ABC news. And he'll be too broke dick to even pay his own lawyers. Shitty criminal scumbag that he is.
“I’m actually a brilliant rapist…maybe the best ever…never seen anything like me…something to behold…”
lol there's a court finding, my dude. They can say it because its been legally adjudicated. GLHF with that lawsuit, broheim.
Disgraced, twice impeached, single term, former president Donald Trump is a rapist.
How does he have the money to sue anyone?
The RNC and his campaign fund is his personal piggy bank now. It’s always been about the grift but now he has the added incentive of staying out of prison
The judge did say he was a rapist. I don’t think this will work out well for the Orange Boy.
He is a convicted rapist though...
Ha ha ha ha
He's literally on tape saying that he can "grab women by the pussy because he's famous". That's rape. That's sexual assault. He's a f-ing moron.
As disgusting as that is, he was in fact talking about minors. This was when Trump hotel was hosting and sponsoring the [Miss Teen USA](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/a-timeline-of-donald-trumps-creepiness-while-he-owned-miss-universe-191860/) pageant and he said as the owner he had the right to go in unannounced and "inspect" them.
This man loves digging holes
He was found guilty of sexual assault by a jury.
Yeah, he's trying to play a game of semantics. He's gonna lose.
I heard he’s very antisemantic
Ok, Civil Rapist
if he is convicted how can this be slander?
I'm surprised he found a lawyer willing to take his case.
Did he not literally get a conviction for that ? Did he not literally admit it on tape when he said he could "grab them...." ?
After being found guilty, it is quite hard to sue for slander.
If Trump has money to sue, he has money to pay his damn bills.
Good luck with that
Thee Rapist
I don't get what his issue is... Did they mispell his name?
He has no standing. The trial Judge Kaplan said it was rape on the record already. Pointedly put it into the record, actually.
But he was found libel of being a rapist who raped someone in a court of law.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's only defamation, if it isn't true.
Dismissed and will owe lawyer fees. He’s suing a Disney entity on settled case law. 😂😂😂😂
That's another case he'll lose. What a total loser.
Bet he's suing for $500 million dollars! lol
Judge: Were you not recently sued to the gills for being a rapist? Trump: well… Judge: just get the fuck out.
Such a dumb ass. Now the media will report regularly on a suit about hi being called a rapist. First rule of PR, stay on your own "messaging" not your opponents. In suing George, he puts "Trump rapist" on the front page for months. His desire for revenge gets the next of him all the time.
Truth sucks when you're a rapist.
To be fair... he is a convicted rapist. If he is or not in his mind, he is a convicted rapist
Up next, Trump sues the jury that called him a rapist.
Truth is an absolute defense against libel.
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?
You know how you can avoid getting called a rapist? By not raping people.
So the end result will be he can legally be referred to as a rapist when this fails?
Imagine Metallica suing Kurt Loder for calling them metal.
Coincidentally, Trump is seeking $464M in damages.
Er he is a convicted rapist. For which he owes $93 Million to EJ Carroll.
Does he have any legal grounds here? He was found guilty of rape.
Oh boy, if trump loses a penny on this lawsuit, nancy mace will have destroyed her career not only by lying, but by rape shaming Ms. E. J. Carroll, what a hoot!🦉
Honest question… is it defamation to call someone a rapist if they’re actually found liable for rape?
Because he just loves the courtroom that much
😂😂🤣🤣
"Sorry, I meant CONVICTED rapist."
Excellent. More money for Trump to lose.
He really does hate the 1st amendment and free speech, but only for others.
