Verdict is in. No on rape, yes on sexual abuse. $2 million in damages.
Correction: 5 million. FIVE.
Good news. May it be the first of many guilty verdicts to come.

Ah, checked the NY Times. So it’s Trump. I lost track of the number of lawsuits he’s facing.
Apparently, he called the verdict a disgrace. Ooh, that’s a surprise.
Wonder if there will be a panicked phone call to the Kremlin begging for money to pay the “billionaire’s” judgment?
Liable. Not “guilty.”
And defamation.
I doubt she’ll ever see the money, but it’s a good moment nevertheless.

So I read that article about the Doonesbury cartoon & how the Post yanked that 1973 strip. I was reminded of reading Pogo strips from before I was born & how newspapers sometimes wouldn’t print the parodies of the McCarthy hearings.
He won’t, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be destroyed financially.
