Judge Sets Date For Trial That Could End Trump's Political Career - Ring of Fire

[Rhiannon12866]

A judge has finally set a trial date for Donald Trump in a defamation lawsuit filed by reporter E. Jean Carroll, and this one has the potential to end Trump's legal career for good. Carroll claims that she was assaulted by Trump in a department store in the 90's, and she claims to have the DNA evidence to prove it. If Trump is forced to give a DNA sample and it confirms Carroll's claims, there is likely no coming back from that explosive revelation. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening and why this one is so significant.

1. One woman

Could save the country from this scourge.

2. Let's hope this goes through, as he said, the lawsuit is from the '90s

And I can't help wondering what the chances are of TFG submitting some of his DNA. After all, he knows the truth...

9. Any place or method to collect some of his hair would suffice

Hair sloughs off all the time.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. But is that his real hair? I always figured it was pasted on.

15. I think he's only Uncle Fester on top

Hand vac everywhere the path he walks .... You only need one exact match to confirm.

3. Trumpers don't care if he is a rapist.

The republican party doesn't care if he is a rapist.

Mitch McConnell doesn't care if he is a rapist.

Lobbyist don't care if he is a rapist.

6 people on the "Supreme Court" don't care if he is a rapist.

Fascists don't care if he is a rapist.

Evangelicals don't care if he is a rapist.

None of them cared that he is trying to overthrow the government.

Why would they care if he raped someone ???

They are all trying to take away women's rights.

They consider women second class citizens.

I don't think a conviction would harm him in any way.

7. Correct. They already know what he is like. Remember, the speeches and campaigns are

all about the grift. I doubt he believes, even 5% of the shit he talks but it is bringing in $millions. And the rubes will continue to send it to him.

[lastlib]

8. a feature, not a bug.

They love him for it. Becuz he's "manly".

11. That's just "maverick" stuff. Paisleys amongst the plaid.

America, the land where rugged individualism is displayed in our driveways. Everyone driving an F-150 they have no real use for.

[Totally Tunsie]

12. As Chump always quoted from "The Snake"...

And you know your bite is poisonous and now I'm gonna die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said that reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you brought me in"

With Chump, it wasn't a recitation; it was a warning.

[SamKnause]

14. They knew.

He's what they wanted.

They believe the dangerous garbage he spews.

They think just like him.

They are my enemies.

They are enemies of my country.

[NJCher]

16. the cares stuff is irrelevant

it's all about keeping him from running.

I don't think he'd win if he did run.

In fact it would probably be great if he did, because DeSantis would take his place as the republican candidate. Now there's something to worry about.

[Irish_Dem]

19. Exactly. The cult members would probably even admire a rapist.

Teach those uppity women who is boss.

4. Kicking for visibility

[MyOwnPeace]

5. Probably ill-gotten, but.....

surely after 4 years of throwing cups, glasses, dishes, and silverware - SOMEONE in the White House already has a DNA sample from the mad 'pretend' president......

[gab13by13]

6. I'm pretty sure that Trump doesn't have to give the DNA sample,

unless this judge overrules that decision.

I hope that DOJ is ready to defend Trump. We must protect the office of the presidency. Our tax dollars are being spent defending Trump.

It was much more than a sexual assault, it was a rape.

[jmowreader]

18. I suspect they have it from 2017

…on the theory if there was a big attack with explosives, DNA would make it easier to sort the chunks of flesh.

[magicguido]

13. I might be 95 when they finally jail him. What ever happened to a "speedy trial" Years and Years

[NJCher]

17. they don't have speedy trials for anybody anymore

they find a way to make you sign off on that in exchange for some concession on their part.
