Former President Donald Trump must pay writer E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in damages for repeatedly defaming her, a jury found Friday.

The nine-person jury began deliberations in federal court in New York at 1:40 p.m. ET and reached a verdict in just under three hours.

    She’s not wrong that we can do better.

    She’s just wrong in assuming she is better.

      I mean, I certainly don’t intended to vote for her over Biden, even considering my distaste for Biden, but I would say she is better than Trump from what I’ve seen. She seems more like “regular” republican evil primarily dangerous due to harmful policies, which is still plenty bad to be fair, but I don’t expect we’d be as likely to have her try a coup should she lose an election.

        I’d take her over Trump for sure.

        But Biden over her, and like, fucking any other Democrat over Biden.

        But this is where we’re at, so I guess I’ll fall in line.
