E Jean Carroll to spend $83m defamation award on 'something Donald Trump hates'
bbc.com
Ms Carroll, 80, told ABC News on Monday: "I'd like to give the money to something Donald Trump hates.
"If it will cause him pain for me to give money to certain things, that's my intent."
The former magazine columnist suggested the money could be used to set up a "fund for the women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump".
It should be a civil lawsuit fund. Pay the legal bills for other women to launch civil lawsuits against him. Bury the fucker.
Oh this is a much better idea. I was thinking like... vegetables? But now I hope for your thing instead:-).
I was thinking build a windmill next to maralago.
Oooh not bad - username does not check out in this case!:-)
A non-profit that handles lawsuits where powerful men have grabbed women by the pussy
I'd donate to that cause
I suggest spending it on additional defamation lawsuits against Donald Trump.
I like her idea better. Helping others would definitely piss him off.
;)
I doubt it. I don't think information that doesn't involve him directly even enters into his awareness.
Helping others sue him on the other hand...
Anything that hurts Donald Trump financially is helping others.
Give it to mexico, would piss him off more than anything. They have this real bad
cocainesugar problem and need to get it out... Or so Ive heard... From afriendneighbour...On a serious note, getting mexicans across the border to get citizenship would give him a heart attack
A smart move would be to spend on a get out the vote effort in swing states.
Especially mail in ballots
Hire armed guards to guard the ballot boxes from armed 2A nutjobs
Absolutely this. I hope she does it.
Planned Parenthood and the ACLU
I don't think Trump actually has opinions on those organizations because they don't affect him personally. To him they're names he can mention to rile up his cult.
I suggest gay wind farm.
Donald thinks I'm a complete cunt, wouldn't piss on me if I were on fire atop Obama's presidential bed in a Russian hotel. He considers me to be worse than Hunter Biden's laptop.
Just saying.
Can confirm; this guy is a real asshole. Just, really, fuck this guy.
because he got here first to say thisBlack people?
How many could she buy?
Trump probably doesn't actually hate anything... His crippling narcissism would stop him from focusing on something else long enough to hate it. He's an opportunist that repeats what he's told to publicly discourage by his handlers, but he couldn't tell you the things he "hated" yesterday.
Just ask the last guy he spoke to what they hate and you'll find it
Gift it to Obama
Or the mexicans
is she actually going to get the money?
If he loses the appeal, I believe she will. He has to put 120% of the award in escrow with the court while the appeal process unfolds. The extra is actually for interest and fees, so if the appeal takes awhile, she might actually get more (if I’m understanding that correctly)!
That's a very important part of the process. It does 2 things.
1: makes sure the victim can actually get the money at the end of the process.
2: prevents pointless appeals that have zero chance of success. Or at least makes the appealer think about the implications of losing a frivolous appeal.
The Biden campaign.
Ewww!!!!
Imagine spending all that money that could be used to help poor people on fucking joe biden.
At that point, Trump and his ilk still win lol.
A million dollar donation to any Democrat in a close race.
On something he hates?
That’s… just a lot of salad, I’m not sure how much salad that can buy.
Um, maybe she could try to:
"Blunt the knives, bend the forks
Smash the bottles and burn the corks
Chip the glasses and crack the plates..."
🤷🏼♂️
Trump hates my guts
Donate to anti oil efforts.
Rosie O'Donnell doesn't need the money though...
How about she uses it to help those in need?
Pretty sure that's her plan, to help other women he has assaulted come forward and have the money to sue him. At least that's what she mentioned.
Yeah, god forbid it goes to someone who is starving or to build affordable housing xD
The funny thing about other people money, is that it isn't your money to decide what to do with.
Oh yeah, but we can still judge them for it.
You're seriously unhappy that she would use the money to help victims of sexual assault? That's deserving of negative judgment?
Have you considered that there's more than one worthwhile cause in the world?
You're right.
It's better they get revenge instead of literally saving people's lives.
My bad.
The revenge is supporting victimized women???
"Revenge is committing a harmful action against a person or group in response to a grievance"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge
It’s better they get revenge instead of literally saving people’s lives.
Yes, its harmful because she feels Donald trump would hate that she's supporting the women he's sexually assaulted or harrassed. He repeatedly defamed her by insisting he didn't sexually assault her, and so as "revenge" she's going to support his other victims with the money that used to be his... Wow, what a waste. Fuck those rape victims, amirite?
There is such a thing as more than one worthwhile cause. If you wanna argue about the fact she suggested that as one possible use for the money you can, but earnestly taking issue with the idea of using the money to support his other victims because it's not going towards the issues you're personally most invested in is insane.
Supporting rape victims as revenge against someone who has repeatedly been accused of, and now found guilty of sexual misconduct, is a perfectly just cause.
It's not insane to support saving lives over getting revenge.
These people are clearly biased.
Yeah fuck those rape victims, they’ve had it too good for too long.
I like her sentiment, but it sounds to me like the guy is living rent free in her head. Just spend the money on something that brings you meaning and makes the world a slightly nicer place for others.
Imagine telling a rape victim that her rapist is "living rent free in her head". Phase that moronic cliche out of your vocabulary. It makes you sound like a dumbass.
Turnip Dump has been living rent free in the heads of every decent American since his presidency. If you weren't outraged at his bullshit, you lack a moral compass.
Yes this, it's absurd he's a frontrunner in what is essentially a two party system. As someone in a neighboring country, the impact a US president has on the world at large is scary. Like he could be commander in chief of the world's largest military...again? There was too much anxiety for his first term, of course people think about what he'll do in a second term and not just because of domestic issues. He disbanded the pandemic team that could have had a huge impact on COVID, that alone should tell people to be concerned. Of course we'll never know if it did but it'd be nice to know what that difference would have made, cause it wouldn't have been worse for sure.
I'm as outraged as anyone. Just thought it might help the healing process for her to try and focus the money elsewhere.
I hope you lose everything you have so that someone can come along and tell you "Just look at the bright side, stop focusing on the negative all the time. Pull yourself up from your bootstraps! If you had a better attitude you could get your life back together."
Don't worry, they meant well but are now a victim
That's what happened in my thread anyway
Insensitive clueless post of the year.
What a condescendingly shitty take.
The fact that you're a terrible person aside, one of the things she mentioned is a fund for other victims of his assaults, which would bring her meaning and make the world a nicer place for others, but that requires reading the article. Saying someone's rapist is living rent free in their head within days of a court verdict about the rape though, fucking trash tier humanity
I hope whatever made you this way gets better
Thanks for your input. I think with my comment I was just coming from a place of wanting to not give that POS any blip of additional attention than what he's already taken. I find revenge sort of exhausting and I would wish, especially for her, that she finds a way to think about him less. She's inspired a creative exercise in trying to come up with what would annoy a monster the most. Of course it's all things which would make the world a better place as well. I was trying to think of a way to do that without invoking that asshole. Admittedly I chose my words terribly, but maybe others got a rise calling me horrible things and standing up for what's right, so I've left it up. Keep fighting the good fight.
