After the judgment, Trump’s lawyer blasted the legal process and laid out in NO uncertain terms that Trump was fighting his case with both hands tied behind his back.
Before anyone crows too loudly about the judgment, he has the right to appeal. The $83 Million figure is unlikely to stand. There is good reason to think the whole case could be thrown out altogether.
As mentioned in the story where his lawyer explained just how far this case deviated from judicial norms, the judge was once in a ‘mentor’ relationship with a lawyer on the prosecution. That conflict of interest was never disclosed.

Kind of a big deal. That alone could be enough to sink the case. But there’s much more.
Some other compelling arguments for dismissing the case altogether come from Trump’s accuser flapping her gums.
How about going on TV to tell the world she would do ‘everything she can’ to prevent Trump from winning in 2024. Interesting. Does ‘everything she can’ include making a bogus rape allegation?

That context makes this tweet all the more interesting:
Remember me @ejeancarroll ?
I was bullied and harassed and chased to another country by Biden’s machine . All because I was to testify before Congress against him. I now have political asylum in Russia. He raped me.

Notice what she says about Kavanaugh and Ford… for political advantage on an issue that was important to her. That kind of sets a precedent, doesn’t it…? Calling an innocent man a rapist without ANY corroborating evidence (or even the actual year that it happened) just because doing so aligned with a political agenda?
Incidentally, Tara Reade’s case seems far more compelling, and yet the media doesn’t give a rat’s backside about it.
Hey, whatever happened to the woman who accused @joebiden of Assault, TARA READE?!?! She’s WAY more CREDIBLE than “E Jean Carroll” (what the hell is the E for anyway?)

Here is Carroll giggling and bragging on TV about how she is plans to spend all of Trump’s money.
Batshit crazy commie psychopath.

Notice the awkward look on her lawyers face as she feels compelled to say on-air ‘she’s joking’.
A somber consideration, for anyone rushing to pop any corks at this decision:
An entire panel of stupid women laughing over a successful false accusation of rape.
They’ve helped in destroying the last bit of integrity and purpose the #MeToo movement had left.
Yet, these women will be the first to cry in support of #MeToo victims.
Pathetic.

The other side is treating this as a winner-take-all war.
We had better act — and pray — accordingly.
Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection, from the book of Psalms, regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness. It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.
Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.
This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
