Welcome to Mob Boss America. Trump just shook down ABC News for $15 million. He will claim this to be a proof of his innocence. No, it is a proof of his corruption.
From the article:
“Stephanopoulos said in the interview that Trump "has been found liable for rape by a jury." Trump, however, was found liable in a civil case for sexually abusing Carroll, not liable for alleged rape”
From the article:
“Stephanopoulos said in the interview that Trump "has been found liable for rape by a jury." Trump, however, was found liable in a civil case for sexually abusing Carroll, not liable for alleged rape”
Interpretation - he raped her with his fingers, not his penis, so technically the statement was slightly misleading. The presiding judge had earlier clarified
“…Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote.
ABC could easily have simply defended their journalist with the claim that the distinction between finger rape and penis rape was no real distinction at all, that she had been forcibly penetrated against her will which is commonly understood to be a violent sexual rape. And they could have negotiated some settlement like paying for Trump’s legal fees.
But ABC did something very different, they Obeyed in Advance, which is to say they submitted to the autocrat ahead of time. Was it to preclude long legal fees? Was it to get the difficulty behind them and move forward? These will be the public rationales, I suppose, but that is not what it really is, it seems to me.
What it really is the victim of a shakedown making a payoff to the Mob Boss – the Mob Boss says, you know it would really be a shame if you had to go through a bunch of pain and suffering that I would inflict upon you when you don’t have to…just give me $15,000,000 and we’ll call it even – OK little bitty subservient victim? And the little bitty subservient victim says OK Boss, whatever you say boss, is this enough boss?
Let the shakedowns continue.
And we see the real purpose of the orange one’s “presidency” -$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
And, of course, the purpose is vengeance. Make them all grovel. Make them all sorry. I just saw the brilliant portrayal of “The Penguin” string Collin Farrell - a good example of a tiny man who makes himself feel big by hurting others and making them grovel. Sick…
