No accommodation needed as I’m a defense attorney not a plaintiffs lawyer. But let’s not get rid of them as they make me plenty of money, takes both of us for me to get paid.And yet, despite the pussy grabbing, the accusations of sexual assault, the one night stand with the porn star, and the long affair with the Playboy model, Trump still retains the support of Evangelical Christians. And in the last Washington Post/ABC News poll, a 7 point lead over Biden. That's not to mention the post-election shenanigans he was up to in 2020 and 2021. This shows you how badly many Americans believe Biden sucks.
I feel for Carrol as she clearly believes that plenty of bad situations happened to her. I’ve never been accused of sexual abuse, assault, battery or rape, especially not by 16-17 women. I’ve also never told anyone that I could get away with sexually assaulting women. In fact I’d say that abhorrent behavior and would never chalk it up to “locker room” banter. Never heard anyone in any locker room I’ve been in talk like that.
So now Trump is officially Lying Sexual Assaulter Trump forever more.
This is just the start for him. GA indictment is next up I believe. Originally Posted by 1blackman1

Nobody was manufacturing propeller aircraft or silicone breast implants in the USA for a long while because the plaintiffs' attorneys ran all the manufacturers out of business. I don't believe in jailing or huge civil awards unless the prosecuted or persecuted really deserve it.
Tiny raises some good points, especially on the civil side. However, I think that elected officials should be held to high standards regarding actions that violate public trust or interfere with the electoral process or violate that trust for self gain....on either side of the aisle. Santos is a prime example, we'll see about the former President and his associates as investigations in Georgia, Washington and NY play out.Well stated Reddog.
What befuddled me is that many abide by the below adage when trying to determine that a provider is "legit", but apparently disregard it when appraising politicians:

A related question. A former president of the United States has never been incarcerated. Should we start now, with Trump, even given his post election shenanigans? I'd lean towards "no". Put another way, I'd cut him some slack, because he was president, while you'd hold him to a higher standard. But then I'm an anarcho-capitalist-Libertarian who ignores the law and facts because of my feelings, so have a different viewpoint from most.
In Latin America, and Latin countries in Europe, they jail ex leaders all the time. In Peru you might as well hop on the next plane after you lose an election, so you don't go to the clinker. I don't want to see that here. And I don't think that Trump represents the threat to American Democracy that many think he does. He, Giuliani and Sydney Powell were more like the gang that couldn't shoot straight. Originally Posted by Tiny
