It was a baseless lawsuit to begin with. There are plenty of things Trump should be sued, impeached, and prosecuted for: Daily violation of the Emoluments Clause, crimes against humanity (putting migrant children in brutal prison camps in worse conditions than convicted murderers), more crimes against humanity (supporting Saudi Arabia's genocide in Yemen), deliberately trying to undermine the Constitution in violation of the oath of office, etc.

I don't care who he had sex with. I don't care who he paid off. His sex life is irrelevant, I care that our country is under the control of a sociopath criminal with less understanding of constitutional law and geopolitics than your average 4th grader.

I just want to point out that the effort that all five of the UNSC permanent members are putting into ignoring the atrocities in Yemen, and have someone bring that up when the US, China, Russia, France, and/or the UK start complaining about Human Rights of someone other than their citizens/allies, and/or those who can have access to citizenship. Without powerful support, your Human Rights mean nothing, unless you're a citizen of the UNSC-5 and/or their affiliates. Yemen should be etching this into everyone's memory.

She's probably still, on net, making money from the free publicity even with having to pay Trump's attorney fees.

It's all Berlusconi and his Bunga-bunga all over again. Couldn't give less of a fig what Trump is doing in his bedroom, as long as nobody is getting hurt. Glad to see this sorry side story finished up.

It wasn't even about that. It was about the public comments he made about her after the story broke.

And is still making about her.

I assume you have evidence that the judge who presided over her case was a Trump-appointee then.

So we've established once again that the president is a crude slanderer, but that this judge thinks that's OK under the first amendment? That's what I'm getting from the story.

So you're challenging the judge's impartiality. That's a little because I don't know that the judge in question was appointed by trump and even if he was Article III judges can really only be removed with impeachment or assassination- they're pretty free from outside influences.

No we've established that the statements in question are better characterized as allowable rhetorical hyperbole. Hence the ruling.

How? She filed a lawsuit, a judge dismissed it, and awarded attorneys fees. I don't see how this is crazy or funny except for the stupid refund joke that has no basis in reality.

It is a pretty safe bet that if someone said those sorts of things about Trump then a good chunk of the people celebrating this as a victory would be screaming blue murder.

But of course. IOKIYAR. Then again what to expect of a group that thinks little of women who aren't submissice Serena Joys?
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.
