All stages of grief except for acceptance played out across the MAGA internet on Friday after a Manhattan federal jury dinged fat former President Trump for $83.3 million for defaming rape victim EJ Carroll on top of the $5 million another jury hit him with last year. Read it and weep with laughter:
“All this judicial lawfare against Trump only serves to make me support him more and more” – Top comment on Townhall’s article. Yeah, we know. This isn’t some kind of unique insight.
“See, this kinda crap is what makes a guy like me who probably would have preferred a RDS stand with DT instead. Because he is truly all of us, when it comes to them. Fight the power!” – Top comment on RedState.com’s article. So this guy’s just outright saying he’s been accused of rape.
“Trump could have been out of state, in an important meeting or any number of places other than Bergdorf on a particular day. But she could not give day date and time. This deprives the defendant of producing evidence to refute her claim. And she produced no evidence of him ever being in that store. I hate to say it but this judge seemed to relish bashing Trump’s minority female attorney above all and ignored the defects in plaintiff’s case. Wonder what he would do if someone accused him of sexual assault in a dept store decades ago on no specific date” – Top comment on the New York Post’s article which very conveniently ignores the first jury’s factual finding of sexual abuse.
“Commie-cRAT LAWFARE” – Top comment on OAN’s article, and about as interesting and insightful as OAN’s television programming. Similar level of effort put into writing it too.
“Let me get this straight. Carroll brought criminal rape charges against OMB that were all but laughed outta court. So, when OMB called her a crazy bitch and vexatious litigator, she sued OMB in civil court for defamation… and won? Is that correct? And if so, WTFF?” – Top comment on an Instapundit post linked to RedState.com’s story about the verdict. Who knows what the fuck “OMB” stands for in their shorthand (Maybe it’s “Orange Man Bad“). It’s obvious he means Trump. Carroll never filed a criminal complaint against “OMB” when she first came forward in 2019 and specifically said she would not because the statute of limitations had expired. Which means no, it is not correct.
You would much rather stand accused of witchcraft in Salem 1692 than be a Republican falsely accused of anything in NYC or DC in 2024. (And it’s not even a close call. Most of those wrongly accused of witchcraft were acquitted—the mass hysteria gripping blue cities is far worse).

“Court Fines Trump $83.3 Million, Over Eight Times Lawsuit’s Request, In E Jean Carroll Defamation Case” – The headline of the DailyWire’s story. The comment threads haven’t worked there in quite some time (they might’ve pulled the plug, who the hell knows or cares), but the headline was worth grabbing just for how misleading it is. It was a jury, not a “court” and it was a damages judgment that they determined, not a “fine.” That site sucks and Ben Shapiro is a fucking rodent.
“The corrupted leftwing judge Lewis Kaplan, was being a partisan misogynist and sexist douchbag against Alina Habba. Lewis Kaplan has no ethical shame” – The top comment on Gateway Pundit’s article titled “SAVAGE ANGEL Alina Habba GOES OFF After Corrupt New York Kangaroo Court Denies Trump the Right to Speak and Slaps Him with $83 Million for Speech Crime! WTH?” That headline is goddamned hilarious. Also a lie, as Trump testified briefly until he defied the judge’s orders. The comment itself is one of the least self-aware by a Trump fan, the only thing taking the edge off is the Disqus user is ostensibly a woman who goes by “Mary Mommy praying for 2024,” lol.
“That is such BS. There is no way he ‘damaged’ her to the tune of 88M+ dollars. There are words for her, and none of them nice – nor would I dare to utter them, given her propensity to sue her way to prosperity instead of working for it like the rest of the world. I hope he appeals it – especially since the statute of limitations was set aside specifically to ‘get’ him, something which a few years ago was unheard of in this country, formerly a nation of laws. E Jean Carroll gives ALL women a bad name” – Top comment on PJ Media’s story. Yeah that one was probably written by a man.
The dishonest media not reporting the facts leads to the same results as the dishonest judge not allowing the facts to be told in his politically weaponized courtroom. https://t.co/nnJXESVLDX

“One honest judge and all this gets tossed. I think they know it too but the democrats are sponsoring these persecutions against Trump to bash him over the head with during the campaign season. Still, if the pattern holds, this will be an advantage to Trump. Americans with functioning brains see what’s happening here” – Top comment on WeLoveTrumpReport’s article.
“What ever happened to Tara Reade? Just wondering” – Top comment on the Right Scoop’s article.
THIS IS NOT AMERICA! Our legal system is being used as a WEAPON against patriotic Americans. First they come for Trump, then they come for ALL OF US! The ONLY way to stop this is getting Trump BACK in White House. VOTE FOR TRUMP LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!

“You can get almost 100 million by being as specific as ‘sometime in 1996?’ Almost 30 years later? This country will be unrecognizable in 100 years. I feel for my future generations” – Top comment on Fox News’s article and the latter half of it very, very much on brand for a Fox News viewer.
“She will never see a dime” – Top comment on Breitbart’s article. Love the wishcasting on this one.

“While Cuomo and his deranged sycophant enforcers are desperately trying to resurrect and rewrite their heinous legacy of lies, innocent lives lost, and rampant abuse, even the DOJ confirms that Andrew Cuomo is a corrupt criminal who illegally harassed women and retaliated against them while Governor” – Elise Stefanik’s statement on a completely unrelated story about an hour earlier.
