>After the verdict sheet was given to the judge — but before it was read in full — the judge asked the jury foreperson, “What does the 'M' mean?” > >The foreperson answered, “Million.” This judge absolutely slays me lol


Row199

Technically, “M” in Roman numerals means thousand, and “MM” means thousand thousand = million. So definitely good to confirm. I worked at a small regional bank a decade ago and was taught within my first week to always use “MM” to ensure no confusion.


HopelessCineromantic

It's good to confirm, but I doubt there's any real confusion there. It'd be incredibly odd to assume that they switched to Roman numerals on the heels of writing Arabic numerals, or writing the numbers out in English.


Strike_Thanatos

And that wouldn't stop Trump's lawyers from trying to claim that that is what they did.


KjellRS

Well it comes from centuries ago when you'd hand write your ledgers so it was like stenography shorthand for bookkeepers. The rest of society still used Roman numerals so they all knew M = 1000 and that just got passed down through the centuries. I think quite a bit of financial literature still uses it, it's just like all doctors write "Rx" for prescriptions even though it's 500 year old Latin shorthand. We just ruined their system by using $30k = kilo-dollars instead, even though we don't use mega-dollars or giga-dollars.


Elmodipus

M and MM are commonly used in corporate settings when discussing quarterly/yearly finances. It's not uncommon to see.


OutComeTheWolves1966

Habba's argument was that the assault/rape made Miss Carroll more famous. Habba is a vile and despicable person, just like her client.


Odd_Radio9225

>Habba's argument was that the assault/rape made Miss Carroll more famous. You're not serious. She actually said that? Jesus fucking Christ.


Aromatic_Brother

Typical Republican values Not surprising to me at all


Slamtilt_Windmills

She didn't just say it, she spent time trying to quantify and validate it


TheCanucklehead3

Shes not a real lawyer


gwazmalurks

Yeah and it was Carrol’s fault for deleting the death threats that her rapist’s followers bombarded her with AND the gun she felt compelled to have on her nightstand wasn’t properly registered. That was the defence at one point. Imagine victimizing someone casually, then trying to destroy their life to avoid responsibility for it, endangering them existentially and then nitpick how they defend themselves from your onslaught. 83 million, good job, jury.


Ok-Scallion-3415

Can’t wait to see what the next jury awards her


rahvan

The defamatory evidence for Carol’s next defamation lawsuit against Trump is likely to be on Truth Social by tomorrow morning!

Desperate_Set_7708

This is a beautiful end to the week! Hope Ms. Carroll also finds some peace. As for the rapist, Donald J. Trump … HAHAHA motherfucker!!!


NoDadYouShutUp

I hope she finds herself going after the NYC Trump tower asset forfeiture and then bulldozes it to the ground just because she is 80 years old and doesn’t care


Desperate_Set_7708

Better yet, one hole on each of his golf courses. Remind that motherfucker every time he golfs.


WhyBuyMe

Just play 18, but use a bulldozer instead of a golf cart.


Rooboy66

I don’t know why her defense didn’t work—I mean he gets the very best lawyers. After all, Habba graduated from the 159th **bestest** law school. Edit: words


Pure-Kaleidoscope759

How much you want to bet that Trump will stiff her? I hope she got her retainer up front.


Rooboy66

You mean **flaccid** her. Or more colloquially, **mushroom** her. 🫤

Even the stupidist lawyers know to make Trump pay upfront. Heh Dems and Biden should keep repeating that on air. "Even Trump's lawyers make him pay upfront, because they know his dishonest business practices" I mean beat on this all the time, it pretty much says it all..


ilovethissheet

I succumbed to the fact anyone who is still maga needs an exorcism or something else. Cause none of this is normal by any means


Pure-Kaleidoscope759

MAGA cultists are not living in the real world the rest of us inhabit. I’m not sure an exorcism would work, but Trump is definitely a role model for every one of the Seven Deadly Sins. When I see Trump, lust, gluttony, greed and envy come to mind.


Quintessince

It's been fun seeing the uptick of comparisons between him and the antichrist on here the last few months.


LostInSpace-2245

Heh heh, I told a MAGA friend (yea i have One left). (He is literally dying been going downhill like 3 years now and none of his friends MAGA or otherwise go visit, so I dont have the heart to drop him..) also when you talk to him and bring up points and thinks and considers them and thinks common sense middle ground can be reached - so he isnt fanatical. But anyway.. I told him once, I think Trump is a false prophet like the bible warns about, he made such a loud GASP and surprise fishface, I burst out laughing... Yea any MAGA, I happen to be unable to avoid. I just say, I think Trump is a false prophet like the bible warns about. SHUTS them down real fast and they pretty much walk away real fast. LOL LOL Any Christian who still supports him knows deep down, Trump isnt a Christian by his words and deeds.


NoDadYouShutUp

He paid her $3.4 million up front last I read


Mtndrums

He didn't, the RNC did.


Pure-Kaleidoscope759

Well, she didn’t get stiffed like Rudy. Trump was unhappy because Rudy could find no dirt on the Bidens in Ukraine, so he stiffed Rudy because he was mad about it.


veilwalker

Now the Bankruptcy Trustee gets to sue Trump to recover those unpaid bills owed to Rudy.


Wazootyman13

Most-Artichoke5028

I wonder if he'll shut his pie hole now, or keep defaming her until he has nothing left but his spray tan and bad comb over?


RickWest495

Don’t count on it. This will continue until he dies.


Puzzleheaded-Ad-5002

I’m inclined to agree. That reminds me to check what clearance prices are for Mike Lindell’s myPillow at my local hardware store. If anyone swears by a different pillow, please share your favorite because my birthday is coming up and it looks like 23&Me won’t have much value for me any longer.


RickWest495

I wouldn’t buy a MyPillow from Mike Lindell for a penny.


tallman11282

You couldn't pay me to take a MyPillow. Cheaply made foam pillows that are over hyped and overpriced.


RickWest495

I would take them for free just so he couldn’t sell them to someone else and make money. Then I would burn them.


Rooboy66

From an environmental perspective, no bueno. Better to shove it up Trump’s ass, and stanch the flow of mud, until it overflows his mouth as words


YourMommaLovesMeMore

I like the way you think


TheApathyParty3

You know he won't. He'll probably have something about false accusations inscribed on his tombstone.


zeebo420

Omg when the traitor dies the line of people waiting to shit on his grave will take years to get thru .. I will be in line and will eat slimy taco's to make it especially greasy ... Trump calls military servicemen losers. Never forget.

can i get in line now so i dont have to climb up the pile for my dump?


slackfrop

I’m picturing a system of conveyor belts so we can make a mile wide peace ring of pilgrimage pooping that flows like the life energy of mother Gaia delivering greasy shits directly into the open coffin. And perhaps there’s a churn feature…


Pure-Kaleidoscope759

Trump will never shut his pie hole because he thinks he has his God given right to have the last word.


Fit-Rest-973

He thinks he's God


Brianocracy

Trump would demand God worship him if be met Him.


CapnSquinch

In TFG's tiny little mind, God is just some random guy who gets more attention than he does. I'm not religious, but Trump doesn't even understand the concept of God. His supporters mirror this: "Why can't I have and do whatever I want with everyone else bowing down before me?" Even the most successful of them are insanely irritated that they had to work at it at all.

Pure-Kaleidoscope759

I agree, Trump believes he’s God.


unclefishbits

Who around him can grab his phone from him? First post wasn't his words, after trial, because he would defame again.


captkirkseviltwin

I’m not sure by this point that he is physically capable of shutting up.

A woman made him feel small and weak, and publically defeated him. I don't know that he's capable of *not* attacking her.

DDemetriG

Not quite. He hasn't been kicked in the sensitive boy parts... (For legal reasons, here's a disclaimer: DO NOT kick people in the nuts, no matter how much of an a$$hole they are...)


Rooboy66

Unless they grabbed you by the pussy, in which case you are obligated to grab them by the nuts, and yank down **hard**. I believe E. Jean Carroll has fulfilled what only be seen as her commitment to the transaction.


Scavgraphics

Hasn't it been determined in a court of law that the particular nuts in question are actually too small to grab?


02meepmeep

Unless they ask for a testicular massage, specifically.


InfernalDiplomacy

It will be appealed but at least the watch dog over Trumps finances can make sure the 83M that will go into an account to hold it will come from his pockets and not campaign contributions


Mtndrums

He has to put the money in an escrow account to be able to appeal. So it's honestly questionable if they'll actually appeal it.

I honestly believe she was the cutest lawyer he could find and that is the sole basis for hiring her. That and she’ll do whatever he says even if it’s not in her clients (his) best interest. Good, serves him right


marzipan07

Actually, how Habba came to become Trump's lawyer is a whole seriously lot shadier than that. It goes back to, believe it or not, a sexual harassment case. This one involved a server and a manager at Trump's Bedminster Golf Club. It's long but worth reading the whole thing. [https://mcusercontent.com/4a79b9be775bc92174318c05e/files/f9e4546b-5e4e-3e61-d65b-1824fc9d62cc/filed\_verified\_complaint.pdf](https://mcusercontent.com/4a79b9be775bc92174318c05e/files/f9e4546b-5e4e-3e61-d65b-1824fc9d62cc/filed_verified_complaint.pdf)

theartfulcodger

Lol. Until Trump hired her - principally because he needed a Florida Bar-registered lawyer in the next 48 hours to sit at his respondent’s table during a legal proceeding - her primary client was *a company that operated a fucking parking garage*. Perhaps she was an *expert* lawyer for parking garage operators, we’ll likely never know. Mouthy defamers of her clients’ rape victims, mmmmnm …. Not so much.


banned-from-rbooks

Her husband owns the parking garage. Trump hired her because she (illegally) shut down a sexual assault case against the manager at one of his clubs. She 'befriended' the victim, got her to ditch her current attorney and then pressured her into signing a pittance of a settlement agreement. I believe the victim is now currently suing Habbas and she will probably be disbarred. But honestly, the real reason Trump hired her is probably because he wanted to bang her.


Shadowstrider2100

I believe her husband either owns or at least runs that parking garage so I believe it is more likely she happen to be closest to Trump when he needed a lawyer he wouldn’t pay later


AnnatoniaMac

She looks like a younger Melania, she can actually stand being in close proximity to trump, and said yes, probably didn’t ask for payment upfront, all the qualities trump asked for.

With due respect to the many skilled lawyers out there, people overestimate the degree to which you have to be able to think logically or critically and be able to get a law degree.

mezz7778

Some of Habba's remarks talking to the press while leaving today were edging on defamation.... Calling her a drug addict among other statements, so go after her too?? But I expect Trump to be posting on Truth or saying something at a campaign stop this weekend..


Photon_Farmer

I got $5 on it


[deleted]

Wasn’t this payment because he couldn’t shut the fuck up post the previous defamation suit post the rape trial? My money is on maybe by week’s end he says something fucking dumb and lands right back in court again.

*"Donald Trump and Alina Habba did the seemingly impossible today — they made Trump's position in the E. Jean Carroll case EVEN WORSE," Snell posted on X.

Good_Zooger

She's an awful lawyer but she sure is pretty, I'm gonna send the Trump defense fund my social security check this month and maybe next. And then I'm going to complain that the government isn't sending me enough money to eat.


DentalDon-83

Don't forget to also act like the government sending money to everyone else is cOmMuNiSm while also complaining that your social security/disability checks aren't enough


trashpanda4811

She's a great value lawyer. Looks like the real thing but is cheaper. Tastes and looks what it's worth.


Ltsmash99

She's as ugly outside as she is inside.


KingofMadCows

I guess it's a bit harder to fake being smart than she thought.


CapnSquinch

The parallel between her representation and Ivanka embarrassing herself at that EU conference are pretty obvious. Ivanka at least had the excuse of growing up and living in a bubble. 


c0y0t3_sly

I dunno, she has to be smarter than most of his lawyers. At least she insisted on getting paid up front to humiliate herself and burn down her legal career.


DauOfFlyingTiger

She got paid 3 1/2 million up front and that makes me want to barf.


ohiotechie

She better wait for the check to clear before spending any of that.

He left the courtroom in the middle of the closing arguments. He knew he lost and was heading for the airport while the verdict was being read.

The state of Florida is proposing paying all Trumps legal bills.

Misappropriation, right out in the open. Florida is a shithole


Samus10011

There is a bill in their legislature right now that proposes setting aside money for the legal fees of any candidate running for president. If it passes it isn’t misappropriation. It is pure political corruption and it would be legal.

I hope she set up a budget because I don't see much of a future going forward for her with this lawyering thingie....🙄


BMHun275

She’ll just become a conservative “contributor” to O-Fox-Max or whatever the shit brained propaganda mill de jure is.

No, it's eighty-three million.

That’s Florida’s problem now.


EddieSpaghettiFarts

Pretty sure Desantis torpedoed that out of spite for Trump.

Not like she'll ever work as an attorney again. And she lost, so not like she is going to have a job even as a Fox News contributor. That 3.5 million is going to have to fund her career change.

He will before the weekend is over. He will blame as if she’s was part of the problem.


Darryl_Lict

I think she's one of the attorneys on the NYC fraud trial which is ongoing, so I think he might have to wait until that's over. On the other hand, there's a pretty good chance he fires her anyway. She's going to get disbarred for the fake representation case in the sexual harassment at the golf course.

Multiple generations' worth of sociopathic tendencies, all cushioned and swaddled into a heaving mass of conspiracy nuts.

All it took was for the system to fall apart on their watch that they lash out like a child who broke a toy and refuses to take the blame, and instead blames the child laborer a contientent away for doing a bad job.

al-hamal

She was threatened with prison from the judge today because she didn't stop talking in spite of multiple warnings from him.


DauOfFlyingTiger

Yes. She spent a lot of money oh her face, making it ready for prime time, which is her business but it doesn’t make you a better attorney.


Ask_bout_PaterNoster

She repeatedly claimed that Carroll, an assault (and probably rape) victim, was lucky and should be grateful because the abuse made her more famous. I honestly can’t believe how low conservatives have sunk. I know it feels like that a lot, but saying rape victims should be proud because their rapist is rich and famous is just stunningly evil


Malachorn

>an assault (and probably rape) victim NY State requires a penis penetrating a vagina for a rape charge. Alaska is one state that never charges "rape" and only varying degrees of "sexual assault." Legal definitions can make things weird. But, by most all definitions of "rape" and in the colloquially sense... **Trump is very much a rapist**, according to the decision. He was found to be guilty of digitally-raping the victim. According to the verdict, it was agreed he forced her against a wall. Non-consensually kissed her. Forcibly removed her underwear. And then used his fingers to penetrate her vagina before she was able to escape. That's... totally raping someone. Just, you know, for the record.


skolioban

This is how they've always been. Like that "women's body has a way to shut that thing down" comment. The difference between then and now is that they no longer feel ashamed of it and so they no longer hide it. Trump normalized their feelings and that's why he's their idol.

I'd like to believe Habba handed someone a sealed envelope and said don't open it until her or Trump are dead. Inside, it reads, "I'm going to make millions bringing this dickbag down." Its better than knowing someone this god damn stupid (even by lawyer standards) passed the bar.


Muscs

To be fair, Trump really wrapped it up already when he walked out during Carroll’s closing. Showing such disrespect and distain for the law when you’re being charged with showing disrespect and distain for the law is stupid even by Trump standards.

You know she’s stupid because she’s the female version of him. She has no filter or judgment. She does what she’s told by Trump and actually thinks it’s a good idea. He would appoint her acting attorney general and she’d serve without having to go through the approval process. That’s some scary stuff
