President Trump was found liable for defaming Carroll in another case related to her claim of being sexually assaulted by him in the mid-1990s.

    IANAL, but perhaps he should appeal under the claim that apparently all the court documents look as though they are written in Liberian. Hardly a fair trial.

        Trump complimented the president of Liberia on the president’s good English. Liberia is an English-speaking country

        Trump recently met with the president of Liberia, and complimented him on his good English speaking skills. English is the national language of Liberia.

    Surprised this crusty old twatwaffle doesn’t just EO that he didn’t do it. Why the fuck not at this point. There are no spines in Congress or scotus, they’ll let him do it.

      Executive orders can only instruct the Executive Branch to take some sort of action. While the Department of Justice is a part of the Executive Branch, it consists of the government’s lawyers, not of the government’s judges. The judicial branch is outside the purview of the Executive Branch, and so out of reach of a Trump EO.

      Now, would he still try? Of course he would. But it would have the same legal weight as Michael Scott yelling “I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!!”

          He can do it, but it won’t matter. EOs directed at something outside of the Executive Branch are basically just announcements.

            His shit about trans women in women’s sports got Lia Thomas’s records stripped from her, and I doubt any school is going to allow trans women to play anything in the future.

              Well, the Department of Education is a part of the Executive Branch, so the NCAA has a financial incentive to go along with Trump’s EOs or lose funding.

              I’m not saying that EOs are completely toothless, and I’m also not saying that he won’t try. I’m just saying that they can’t do absolutely anything; and specifically, they can’t directly impact the Judiciary.

      Tacky ‘golden’ rapist kit.

      Balaclava with ‘golden’ thread around the holes.
      Pair of ‘real’ faux leather gloves with your initials sewn on to the back in the same golden 😏😏 thread.
      Chloroform bottle with a plastic gold coloured cap (alternatively just buy his shitty perfume, it’s the same fucking thing)
      1 weapon of choice: knife, bat, rope. Whichever you choose will be lightly wafted with some gold spray paint from a rattle can.
