He also said repeatedly that she wasn't his type. Yet when he was showed a photo of her in her youth, he ID'd her as Marla Maples -- his second wife. Twice.

She should file another lawsuit tomorrow.

I'd call the response largely unsurprising ranging from MAGA cultists like Graham effectively undermining rule of law to Romney (almost solely) calling him an unqualified aberration. Also a small minority of GOP Senators are playing it safe by worrying about electability. Which is as grotesque as it is spineless. Essentially telegraphing they are potentially fine with sexual abuse as long as it doesn't impact electability. It's also a hedge. If he wins then they just pivot back into his favor by sucking up to him. It's grim.

E. Jean Carroll May Sue Trump a Third Time After ‘Vile’ Comments on CNN

In an interview, her lawyer said that the former president’s mocking comments in a town hall broadcast could create fresh legal jeopardy.

. Jean Carroll, who this month won $5 million in damages from former President Donald J. Trump, is now seeking a “very substantial” additional amount in response to his insults on a CNN program just a day after she won her sexual abuse and defamation case.

Ms. Carroll’s filing Monday in Manhattan federal court seeks to intensify the financial pain for Mr. Trump. The jury in her civil case found him liable on May 9 for sexual abuse and defamation. It ordered him to pay Ms. Carroll, a former advice columnist and fixture in Manhattan’s media circles, $2 million for the sexual abuse and $3 million for the defamation.

Monday’s filing came in a separate defamation lawsuit that Ms. Carroll had filed in 2019 against Mr. Trump, 76, which is before the same judge who presided in the civil trial. The older case stemmed from comments Mr. Trump made that year, shortly after she said that he had raped her in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. That lawsuit had been sidetracked by appeals, but is still pending.

In a separate letter to the judge, Ms. Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta A. Kaplan, revealed with little elaboration that Mr. Trump has threatened to file a lawsuit against Ms. Carroll “in retaliation and possibly to seek sanctions.”

I get the feeling Trump is going to jail for something. Sometime. Soon.

Maybe but it won't be soon. Probably never. We probably aren't the country people here think we are. It's more like the country our enemies/adversaries claim it is.
