Words are worth 13x more than sexual abuse

The figure included $18.3 million in compensatory damages and $65 million in punitive damages, CNN reported.


This is what was delivered today by the jury in the NYC E. Jean v Trump defamation trial. Quite a hefty sum. Remarkably different from the previous lawsuit against Trump:


In a separate suit, she secured a jury determination in May of last year that he had sexually abused and defamed her, with a jury awarding her nearly $5 million, including $3 million for defamatory statements he made after leaving office.


Taking this all at face value, the precedent is very clear. Hurt feelings are far more valuable than hurt bodies.

This isn't all without some sort of precedent however.


Today a jury reached a verdict in the Alex Jones case and ordered the conservative author and TV host to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to the Sandy Hook families for something he said in 2014.

Jones was ordered to pay $965 million to the families. Good Lord!

Jones allegedly owes $229 million to just the first three plaintiffs, all family members of Sandy Hook victims.


Is this justice in our communities estimation? Or is it just as long as the political ideologies are supported?

I believe they used the word 'malice' and this feelz has a lot of weight with a judge and jury.

Apparently.

But the question on the table. Is it right? Is it justice?

It's already been decided, but obviously not for you.

I don’t think I understand what point your trying to make, tbh.

But when it comes to the Trump case where he got sued for 83 million for sexually abusing and defaming that women… all I got to say is, next president of the United States!

You guys must be so proud.

I highly doubt DJT can afford to pay this much.

Walls seem to be closing in on DJT…

Are you afraid of the question?

Then your opinion can also be categorically dismissed.

I hope he can get structured settlement, send her $100 a month instead of lump sum because why should he make it easy. Even 10 years would still give her more than enough to pretend she is an accomplished aristocrat.

Now you guys do know that this woman isn’t going to see any of that money, you know that right?

He is gonna be your next president, you’ll cry some more because Trump hurt your feelings but you will be fine.
He wants to help Liberals too.

It’s astonishing that the Leftists want to destroy him so bad over hurt feelings.
Why you guys so fragile?

“But filings released Tuesday by New York Attorney General Letitia James, as part of her civil investigation into the Trump Organization’s financial dealings, offer the clearest picture yet: Trump’s liquid assets stood at $93 million in 2020, according to the documents.”

Damn, I wonder how mad George Floyd's family is. He OD and they only got 27 million. I am sure Ben Crump will be along soon to talk about racism and equity.
