A federal appeals court has upheld the $5m verdict against Donald Trump for sexually abusing and defaming the magazine writer E Jean Carroll, dealing a legal setback to the president-elect.
The three-judge panel at the second US circuit court of appeals in Manhattan rejected Trump’s arguments for a new trial, ruling that evidence including testimony from other accusers – as well as the infamous Access Hollywood tape that captured him boasting about how it was normal for him to “grab [women] by the pussy” – was properly admitted.
The May 2023 verdict found Trump liable for sexually assaulting Carroll in a New York department store dressing room in about 1996, 20 years before winning his first presidency, though the jury stopped short of calling the case a rape. The verdict included $2.02m for sexual assault and $2.98m for defaming Carroll in an October 2022 social media post where he called her allegations a “hoax”.
Trump's hush money trial sentencing: For a guilty verdict on 34 felonies, the Orange Man is sentenced to UNCONDITIONAL DISCHARGE.
Because a sitting president can do anything without consequence.
Another victory for US justice!
Another example of Trump's perverse refusal to understand the verdict and sentence too. He now claims, despite the words of the judge, that the unconditional discharge sentence means he is not guilty.
Maybe it does down the post-truth rabbit hole.
Everywhere else he is 'as guilty as sin'!
Lardy & Cyril will be winking furiously when they listen to this.
More trouble in Trumpworld:

In an escalation of discontent among the highest-profile far-right followers of Donald Trump, his former adviser Steve Bannon has called Trump’s newest favorite, Elon Musk, “racist” and a “truly evil guy”, pledging to “take this guy down” and kick him out of the Maga movement.
In an interview with the Corriere della Sera newspaper in Italy, excerpts of which were published this weekend by Breitbart, Bannon criticised Musk’s embrace of some forms of immigration and vowed to ensure that Musk does not have top-level access to the White House.
“He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down,” Bannon said. “Before, because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it – I’m not prepared to tolerate it any more.”
He added: “I will have Elon Musk run out of here by inauguration day”, which falls on 20 January. “He will not have full access to the White House. He will be like any other person.”

Peace through strength?
Total bollux.
Trump with his Abraham Accords, defiance of UN resolutions on Jerusalem, and continued fawning over Netanyahu and his racist colonial project is a stain. The main terrorists in the 'Gaza safe haven' in the past year have been the IDF.
Another fan of ethnic cleansing and fluttering his eyelashes at fascists, neo-fascists and proto-fascists.
Biden was and is a similar cheerleader of some of those leaders and their ideologies, but Trump is going for the full set.
