Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He raped her. That last judge went out of their way to clarify that point. He should be in prison. But monetary compensation as well...
You're right, of course. It's why victims of traumatic crimes should have longer to report their attackers and receive justice.
Quetzlcoatls were not known for their ability to read I guess
I think this is a very willful misinterpretation of their comment.
You reading the same thing? They were explaining the situation, legally. Not logically nor factually, but legally what is going on.
homie just learned the word “sealioning” and is really excited to use it

He won't pay. He already owes her $5 million, and he's not going to pay that, either. He probably owes his lawyers more than that, and he's not paying them.
That's not how it works.
Trump is appealing the $5 million judgment. And when you appeal, the first thing you do is write a check for the entire amount - a check made out to the court. That way if you lose the appeal, the court can pay the plaintiff.
So, in fact, Trump had already paid the $5 million, even if Carroll can't spend it yet.
You sure that's how it works? I thought Alex Jones appealed his judgement. And definitely didn't have 1.5Billion to just pay the court with.
Alex Jones declared bankruptcy protection.
That means that all debts will be debated in court for the best interest of all parties. Ex: Alex Jones can only pay 1.5 Billion if he keeps his job and keeps working and doing Alex Jones things, so don't take anything away that prevents Alex Jones from doing his job. (etc. etc.)
USA has a ton of protections to people who declare bankruptcy that no other country has. For better or worse, everyone (including Alex Jones) gets these protections.
That's how it works in federal court, as in this case.
Jones was sued in Connecticut state court, where the procedure might be different.
Thanks for explaining.
Incorrect.
He'll just grift the money from his followers
