I suspect never on the first, and no clue on the second.
I'm not sure I know where you're going with that, but then again I guess the feeling may be reciprocal with regard to my post.
You're saying the difference is the ability to effectuate coming after a group, and because F16 can't get at the first three categories of victims owing to being a message board, it's kosher to use the last category of victim as support to show how important it is we speak up about the persecution of [home team], just like the Pastor was saying.
That's a pretty nuanced view of it I'm not sure occurred to the author, but still it would be nice if he wouldn't have mentioned the communists, socialists, trade unionists, etc.

I am no Trumpeteer, check my posting history, but I can still use my voice to say wow, this is an incredible overreach and very partisan attack that should never occur in USA. The good pastor was trying to say if you don't stand for injustices to others (even if you disagree with them), then eventually those injustices will come to your doorstep.
I couldnt give a rip about Trumps $80M, but I know injustice when I see it. The real measure is will you defend the rights of those you don't support. To be fair, I will pull the lever for the Republican candidate in November, but I don't care for Trump and pray it is someone else on the ballot. He still deserves protection under the law and rights afforded by our constitution. Same goes for people I absolutely loathe (replace Trump with creepy Joe, I should say wow, that is a horrible precedent and judgement based on a person's testimony 30 years later, but I would probably precede that statement with a wall of BWAHAHAHAHA if I'm being honest and then point out the injustice).
If you watched any of the confirmation hearings for Biden nominated judges, you know this is going to be the case for a long time in federal court.Quote:

How are we still talking about “proper”? The justice system has been fully weaponized, it is unapologetically corrupt, and that’s the world we live in. People will be awaiting execution in the dungeons of the secret police still asking ‘how is this proper?’ https://t.co/wTCcFhqsEh

I believe this case actually ended up in federal court because Trump's DOJ removed it under the Westfall Act before he left office

So one Dem President and one Rep President. I know of no other President that has been sued in civil court for sexual harassment like this. (I bet Kennedy would get sued in today's legal environment.). I think that proves my point that this isn't just used on Republicans. Many of the others above are being sued under the one year look back allowed under NY law and it wasn't passed to allow this case to be filed against Trump for sexual assault. It was done to allow women to go after people like Weinstein and the others accused in the Me Too movement. I don't think the statute of limitations should have been changed to go for cases where the time limit had passed. Also, the original case with Carroll v Trump started as a defamation case from statements made in 2017 so there wasn't an issue with the statute of limitations there.Central Committee said:Kansas Kid said:Central Committee said:Only for Republicans.Whistle Pig said:

THAT is the issue.
Bill Cosby - Democrat
Harvey Weinstein - Democrat
Jimmy Iovine - Democrat
Axl Rose - frequently bashed Trump
Sean Combs - Biden supporter
Bill Clinton
How many more would you like listed of people that are Dems or Dem supporters sued for sexual assault to disprove your comment?
Btw, the bill that changed the statute of limitations in NY was supported by Republicans in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein and others in the entertainment industry.
Political arena, not actors. You named one, Bill Clinton. Decent example and a rare one. Sen Mendez is another one off, but his was so egregious that it was impossible to keep ignoring even though the DOJ tried for a long time.
Donald Trump wants to be the presumptive Republican nominee and we’re talking about $83 million in damages. We’re not talking about fixing the border. We’re not talking about tackling inflation. America can do better than Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

It didn't help his case when he does things in his deposition like saying she isn't his type and then identifies her as his former wife and when he keeps saying less than flattering things about her in social media and in front of cameras. If he isn't careful, she will file another defamation case. I could see the judgment being reduced as they frequently are in civil cases but I don't see it getting thrown out based on what I have read.bobbranco said:I believe our judicial system will get it correct and appeal court will reverse the horrible decision.Antoninus said:Do you actually think he will prevail on appeal?bobbranco said:

The assault claim was he/she said. All other things equal, a coin flip. The jury listened to each of them and found her more credible than him. Why?
Candidly, the man comes across as a snake oil salesman. Always has, back into the 80s. If I were on a jury, I would be skeptical of any words that came out of his mouth, and the jury was apparently equally skeptical.
You people refuse to see it because you bought the snake oil.

I kinda agree. He didn't even attend the first trial which was more important. He made every effort to attend this one and knowingly kept talking. He hired a campaign cheerleader instead of a legit lawyer.
$83M makes the base pissed off and also so attention grabbing to make people not paying attention go WTF
