Donald Trump leaves Trump Tower with mysterious marks on his fingers as rape accuser E. Jean Carroll takes the stand in $10million defamation trial
Hmmm, caught red handed ?
So all the judges in his cases are being soooooo careful- they are falling into his trap- which is to give the middle finger to the rule of law- hey, no one can control me- I will say and do whatever I want-- go ahead and stop me- you won't because you all are afraid of me and my power of appeals and lawsuits-- he gets away with everything no other person on the planet does--- these judges need to control him--- they won't and he will continue giving the finger to the rule of law--- I can't believe I am living in a country where there is Trump law and everyone else

Alina Habba is already off to a bad start on day 3 of E. Jean Carroll trial
Donald Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, got off to a rough start on Thursday in the defamation trial of her boss — who took a break from personally attending so he could attend his mother-in-law's funeral.The former president has been sued for defamation by E. Jean Carroll. He has already been found...
I wish there was a way to protect her from the misfits the former president activates. I'm not sure where she is located but it would be great if she had friendly eyes and ears in the community to help protect her from the misfits that show up like on her grocery store visit. I know wishful thinking but I'd like to beat them at their own game. You said you are good friend so I hope you can relay that women believe her and thank her for speaking out.Carroll is seeking $10 million for harm to her reputation, as well as an unspecified amount of punitive damages.
Opinion | In second E. Jean Carroll case, Trump still hasn’t learned his lesson
Trump’s damages exposure doesn’t look good at all.www.msnbc.com
And for E. Jean Carroll, Carroll I, filed in 2019, has become somewhat of a legal lay-up. That’s because the presiding federal judge, Lewis A. Kaplan, ruled in September that because of a jury’s verdict in Carroll’s other defamation case that was filed in 2022 (referred to as “Carroll II”), Trump cannot argue that he did not defame Carroll. In fact, the only thing left now for a jury to decide in Carroll I is how much to award Carroll for the damages she suffered as a result of Trump’s defamation of her in 2019, when he was president. In the interest of full disclosure, I am good friends with Carroll. Regardless of our friendship, my legal analysis is based on the facts and case law.
...Trump has already tried to convince Kaplan to cap Carroll’s damages to the $5 million verdict that was rendered last year in Carroll II. His argument was that the second jury this week should be bound by the first jury’s decision on the amount. But Kaplan denied that move and said that Trump was trying to “mix apples with oranges.”

To make matters worse for Trump, he appears to have failed to learn his lesson from his first courtroom battle with Carroll as he continues to defame her. Just a few days ago, he shared a barrage of 31 posts in about 30 minutes on his social media platform, Truth Social. The posts were not written by Trump, but instead were shared comments, interview clips and social media posts by others that disparaged and attacked Carroll. Not content to allow others to berate Carroll, Trump has also attacked her on television and even while on the campaign trail. Even Tuesday morning, before arriving at the federal courthouse, Trump posted on social media what appears to be yet another potentially defamatory statement about Carroll. His offensive conduct has been covered widespread by the media, which means a very high probability that prospective jurors have also heard and seen his repeated defamation of Carroll, which always presents its own challenge.

From the article:
Habba began citing people who sent tweets, including an account known as "Power to the Polish," in which Habba pronounced the word as if it was to polish shoes.
"The person probably meant Polish," as in the country, the Judge explained.
I understand what you are saying and it makes lots of sense --
I totally get what you are feeling @ilovewings and I feel the same way. In a perfect world this travesty wouldn’t be happening. I expect we can all agree that this country has never experienced someone with Trump’s
a hug back at ya!!! you are right- Our courts are not designed to deal with him the way they deal with ordinary citizens-- You know the framers of the constitution were visionaries and brilliant, but I don't believe they ever envisioned someone with absolutely no conscience and so corrupt would occupy the office of the presidency: They believed the three branches of government, judicial, executive and legislative, would provide guard rails to prevent such a corrupt individual of becoming all powerful and fascist. Until now, they have been proven right. Our courts stood tall in the last election--- I am losing confidence though, that if (I shall not use his name) T should actually become president, that Democracy will remain.
