Per NYT: "BREAKING NEWS A jury found Donald Trump liable for the sexual abuse and defamation of E. Jean Carroll in a civil trial, but rejected her rape accusation. "

Sounds like a negotiated verdict, along the lines of "we can't agree on the mechanics, but we agree that the plaintiff was abused sexually."

Trumpites are out claiming that the jury "proved" that Carroll "lied about rape," and therefore she was lying about everything.

Or: the jury finding of liability proves that the whole system is corrupt; that "the government" can convict anyone of rape, and therefore we need Trump because he's the only one who can "fix" such a corrupt system.

These people are just so horrible and predictable. And I am just so tired - as IтАЩm sure many others are. I find myself wondering if there will ever be a time we arenтАЩt trying to defend the democracy from MAGA.

When Trump and every single one of his enablers are permanently incapacitated and unable to speak or write a word. God, I'm turning into one of them!
