Do It Again

By Hubie and Bertie

E. Jean Carroll has decided to seek additional damages from Benedict Donald after he went on that ridiculous CNN "town hall" the day after a Manhattan jury found him civilly liable for defamation and sexual abuse, and proceeded to do the defamation part all over again.

Today's court filing said that Trump's CNN blather "show[ed] the depth of his malice toward Carroll, since it is hard to imagine defamatory conduct that could possibly be more motivated by hatred, ill will or spite...This conduct supports a very substantial punitive damages award in Carroll's favor to punish Trump, to deter him from engaging in further defamation, and to deter others from doing the same."

We cats are subscribers to E. Jean's substack thingy, and the comments from fans there tonight are wildly amusing. "Sue that fat old traitor for $500 million this time, E. Jean!" "I always knew you'd be the one to stand up to Der Gropenführer!" "Sue that bloated pile of human garbage into oblivion!" "You have done what an entire wing of sniveling cowards in America's political system doesn't have the backbone or the courage to do — demand accountability of the dumpster fire!"

When E. Jean and her lawyer Robbie Kaplan appeared on MSNBC after the verdict, Carroll said she'd been insulted in the past by better people than Trump. Back in 1971, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau said much the same thing about Richard Nixon. Don't you love it when folks you admire nail America's two worst Presidents? We cats PURR.
