Even a failed Fentanyl dealer is still a criminal salesman.
The sexual abuse evidence by Rudy is far more shocking and detailed than in the Trump conviction.

Those two are doing what Trump would have done were he an office holder when he first ran - they're cheating. And if Trump is elected, he'll try to cheat some more to keep himself in office.

Kemp in Georgia was the Secy of State when he ran for governor the first time, and he purged the voter rolls to favor himself. Taking a page from that book, DeSantis is changing state law so he can run for President while still gov of Florida. "Ron DeSantis is using the final weeks before he reportedly launches a presidential campaign to modify Florida law to allow him to run while serving as governor and reduce transparency over political spending and his travel."

Dueling banjo music can be played over them loudly when they won't shut up.

The Washington Post sends out a subscriber newsletter and their note this morning:

Trump’s CNN town hall: A firehose of false claims

Former president Donald Trump appeared Wednesday at a CNN “town hall” with Republican and independent voters in New Hampshire. No surprise, there was a lot of material to fact check! We wrote a packed 3,000-word report on his many falsehoods.

We divided the report into subject areas, which included:

• The 2020 election
  
• The Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol
  
• His presidential policies
  
• The controversy over presidential papers found at his estate
  
• Various claims on immigration, crime and foreign policy

Trump lodges appeal against sexual abuse finding as CNN grapples with town hall fallout

"Donald Trump signals he will appeal against a jury's decision to find him liable for sexual abuse and defamation, a day after joking about the case during a controversial CNN broadcast."

CNN gave Donald Trump a huge gift, and may have signed a death sentence to their business as far as being considered a "news agency." Two hours of unbridled lies when Trump held forth was an embarrassment to behold. I saw about 20 minutes before I couldn't stand it any more. From the WTF Just Happened Today newsletter I get on weekdays:

CNN reported that “it’s hard to see how America was served by the spectacle of lies that aired on CNN” during Trump’s primetime town hall interview. In his first media appearance since being found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, Trump spent roughly 70 minutes maintaining his lie that the 2020 election was “rigged,” refusing to pledge to accept the results of the 2024 election, calling the moderator a “nasty person,” claiming he had the right to take classified documents to Mar-a-Lago, and saying he would pardon a “large portion” of the Jan. 6 rioters. Although Kaitlan Collins attempted to fact-checked his inaccurate claims, the live audience of Republicans and undeclared voters regularly clapped and laughed on behalf of Trump and his false claims. (CNN / Associated Press / Politico / NPR / Wall Street Journal / Washington Post / New York Times / NBC News / CNBC)

Donald Trump's most loyal supporters will stick by him after E Jean Carroll trial,

but experts say he should brace for impact

Notre Dame University professor of political science Christina Wolbrecht said the question of whether or not the verdict would change voters' minds was misguided.

"The more relevant question, I think, is whether this decision will be sufficient to scare away potential advisors and financial supporters from his campaign, or get the news media to cover him differently," Professor Wolbrecht said.

There is probably a high percentage of bluster and attempt at saving-face involved in those remarks about an appeal. It will cost him more to appeal than he would pay, but he isn't that bright when it comes to money, he just knows how to grift for it.

Fellow GOP Liar George Santos is now in custody (midday on May 10) awaiting his arraignment. Keeping Trump out and whittling down the GOP numbers in the House and Senate are goals number one and two for the upcoming election. We'll have to see who would replace Santos (if an election happens, both Democrats and Republicans have a shot at it.)

There is a "Town Hall" on CNN tonight that Trump scheduled at the last minute. Hosted at a small conservative university in New England. The chatter is that he's already telling people he wasn't allowed to tell his side of the story in the trial concluded yesterday, never mind all of the extra time he was given to make an appearance. He just lies as it suits him, we've always known that.

Anything bad for Trump goes on his Enemies of the State List.
Currently, a jury by one's peers appears on that list.
Also on that list is anything that did not support his coup such as; the Constitution, the US military, the Law, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the Justice Dept., anything democratic, any critic, and finally Rosie O'Donnell.

Trumpers are lauding today's development as a victory for trump, saying that since he was not convicted of actual rape, the whole trial was a big loss for his accusers.

They don't mention the money he's going to have to shell out.

I keep reading that trump offered no defense in the trial, and it is true that he didn't appear in person. He did, however, present the deposition; he and his team must have figured that would do the trick.

Given that Trump thought so little of the EJC case that he didn't bother to offer a defence, I would be very surprised if an appeal against the findings would bear any weight. He had his chance and he threw it away.

I imagine he might have been throwing crockery at the wall in his usual tiny-temper tantrum manner.

Bring on all those other cases against him!

The cherry on top of today's wonderful news was that the Justice Department has indicted George Santos (the lying GOP congressman from Long Island) and we'll learn what those charges are tomorrow when he appears in federal court. It doesn't mean he's out of Congress and the GOP needs his vote so they won't do a thing to expel him.

Trump's attorneys of course say they'll appeal the decision today, but this die has been cast. He is no longer "Teflon Don."

Donald Trump found liable for sexually abusing writer E Jean Carroll in civil trial

Recently, around the time of state or federal elections here in Oz a sticker has appeared on the local post box making fun of the conservative Liberal party. It looks like their usual logo but the word is spelled "Liarble" and not "Liberal".

It makes me laugh each time I see it, and now seeing that Trump has been found liable, makes me think he is also liarble. LOL

It will take a unanimous verdict to find against Trump.

In other words, not even one of the jurors can be a dedicated, unacknowledged Trump supporter ready to believe he's the real victim.

Odds of that?

Trump's lawyers rested on Friday in the E. Jean Carroll rape trial, but the judge is so sure that Trump is going to try to use that as an excuse to blast the case in social media saying he wasn't given a chance to testify that the judge gave him until Sunday to officially declare his intent to testify or not. This is quite a gift, not something afforded any other defendant.
