From the Guardian:
Trump called the verdict “absolutely ridiculous” and claimed it was part of a Joe “Biden-directed witch hunt” against “me and the Republican party”.
For a doddering old fool (according to Trump), Joe Biden sure seems on top of things (again, according to Trump).
Which is it, Donald?
This … seems like a great way to get Ms. Habba herself into a defamation suit.
As I often do when these sorts of major stories break, I check in to see how Fox News is handling it. As of a few minutes ago, here’s how:
Then there are two secondary stories, of about equal stature:
A 38-year-old Memphis TV news personality has died. The cause of death is not disclosed. According to other (legitimate) news sites, it was a medical emergency. Fox News, however, helpfully points to the high crime rates in Memphis which – as Fox helpfully informs us – has a Democratic mayor.
At the same level of importance, a jury has awarded ridiculous damages against Trump in the E Jean Carroll case. The article consists almost entirely of Trump’s twuths on Twuth Social. (The headline over the image link is “Absolutely ridiculous!”)
I feel physically ill after visiting Fox News. I do it so you don’t have to. You’re welcome. 
.
I’m sure she is right there, spiritually, if not personally. After all, this is her pre-nup deal fortune Trump is blowing away. And for his usual philandering.
She must be pissed off.
You took a big one for the team.
Have a Caesar and put it on my tab.
Good Wolfpup.
Have one of these Caesars:
The friend was undercover. Paid for by Kaplans firm.

What a mensch!
But I would gladly pay you for this hamburger on Tuesday…
The reaction to this case (not here) distresses me. The insults about her looks, her having a healthy view of (consensual) sex. If she had accused Biden of this, they would adore her.
I used to read her Elle columns all the time.
Kaplan:Does the M mean millions?
Jury Foreman: Yes, Your Honor.
Scroll down to 14:58 in the article.
Responding again to the comments about why the judge wasn’t coming down hard on Trump for his disrespect, one of the commentators on the BBC has made a similar point as I made upthread: the jurors could see Trump’s behaviour and that may have influenced their decision:
It was mentioned on msnbc that trump park avenue was assessed at 84 m. Perhaps Mr Carroll could get that property.
It sounds like you figure on Carroll also winding up with someone’s balls out of the deal…
Reading about Trump getting his deserts for being unable to keep his trap shut reminds me of this classic bugs bunny cartoon.
I may have linked to it before
Assessed by whom? Donald Trump would value one of his ashtrays at $84-million if he wanted it to be.
Ms. Carroll (and her lawyers) should get cold, hard cash. If Trump, or some court receiver, needs to sell his Park Avenue property, do it. If that covers the $83.3-million, fine; if not, sell something else.
I read somewhere that Trump’s boasting in some other trial about the high value of his properties (I forget which trial – who can keep track of them all – but I think it was the Trump Org fraud trial) would come back to bite him in this ass in this trial, as indeed it did. The high value of the award was largely premised on his presumed wealth, as claimed by the Orange Buffoon himself.
So now Trump’s attorney Alina Habba is defaming Carroll. Hahaahhahah. I wonder if Habba is going to defend herself when she gets dragged into court. Hahahhhahaha.
I read somewhere that Trump recently claimed to have over $200 million in cash/ready assets (presumably no one actually has $200 million in a checking account). Possibly that was brought up in the recent court proceeding?
In the unlikely event that is true, coming up with the appeal bond should be no problem.
He did, last spring, I believe, in a deposition. He claimed to have north of $400M in cash, and growing.
