Who in the real world would get away with this behaviour?? trump should be held in contempt and thrown in jail!

[seangelarden]

Carried on like a two year old and got yet another warning, is it any wonder he doesn't respect anything

[ronaldcole]

When you're so self-entitled and a life long bully, being treated like everyone else seems like discrimination and bias. Welcome to the real world little Donnie. With the kind of money she's going to get, she'll be able to afford several really, really good bounty hunters. People who will track the threatening Trumpers down, turn them over to authorities and collect the reward, making her even more money.

Trump keeps attacking judges and lashing out in court....What happened to being the law and order candidate?

[triatheilean]

Judge Kaplan should find Trump in contempt of court and put him in a jail cell until he agrees to obey the laws just like any other defendant. It is pitiful that the Judge is NOT doing that and a total failure of justice for everyone, not just some.

I am very proud of Jean Carroll for speaking up same thing happened to me once in my life took me years to speak up. No one should allow another person to humiliate and offend and disgrace by their actions

[DeanDriveSerenity]

PLEASE STOP GIVING Trump so much free publicity. SILENCE HIM.
Just give us end results. Does he have to finally pay?

[RorkesDriftVC]

Trump's privilege has made him contemptuous of the law.

Hello and please forgive my lengthy post. I'm simply at the end of my rope here and as a regretful 45 voter and long-standing Republican, I must renounce my affiliation with the republican party and throw my tiny voice toward democracy, decency, and love. I am now an Independent. Thank you for reading and for commenting. I'm ashamed of my decision at the ballot box in 2016 but trying to make up for it here.

It's time for a beatdown of the magnitude not yet seen in election history. That's the only way to see him gone. VOTE! Educate yourself. Save our democracy. Then, Maybe, we can begin to solve the divisive problems we face as neighbors, Americans dedicated to democracy, and humans on a rock hurling through space.

This election there must be so many more votes for democracy than 45 that it is impossible to question the outcome if one has at least a high school education and general knowledge of what has been going on in politics since he was beaten by Joe the first time.

He admits that he loves "Uneducated people". I, too, love folks who need education, and have manifested that love by becoming a teacher, preacher, and servant/student of life for 65+ years. That explained I'm guessing that my love for those less fortunate and in need of a better education, is not for the same reasons as 45. He loves the undereducated because they are easier to manipulate and damage with misinformation. His "love" for anyone or anything is not actually loving as most of us would see it, but a way to a feeling of warped self-worth that gets more and more elevated and distorted as more and more people, who arenot capable of understanding his threat to democracy or the immigrant experience, fall for his lies.

He probably never complained or lied about the people escaping poverty and a horrible life by coming to America when they were his employees. His obsession with and lies about border security, while certainly a critical part of our problems and in dire need of humane answers, is just him using a hot-button issue politically to achieve and keep more power.

He couldn't care less about this, me or you. He cares only about the fact that he is about to lose everything he has and spend the rest of his life imprisoned. That's it. Full stop. Vote. Vote. Vote.

Be safe and know that this too shall pass my brothers and sisters. Love will prevail. The power of unconditional love will heal this if we refuse violence and embrace each other and our differences as the one thing that keeps America strong, its diversity. Even 45 wouldn't have accumulated such wealth were it not for immigrants. This fact escapes him and most of his followers. The educated, and I mean highly educated people and elected officials who support 45.... but would never let their own daughters be anywhere near him... are, however, now the truly baffling folks in this nightmare. Our only defense is our vote.

To be clear...I love God as I understand God. I was raised in a conservative Christian church and, as an adult, went on to be ordained by a Baptist church...a Southern Baptist Convention church. One of the most satisfying life results of that ordination, other than the pure joy I found in sheltering and feeding the homeless and helping to lead others into some real relationship with the creator, was that I had the honor of officiating the marriage of my own father to his second wife, sometime after losing my mom, and his love, to the big C when she was only 52. It was really one of the best days of my life, seeing my father embrace some happiness after the immense pain he endured losing his wife.

And, another result as an adult was, I later went on to found and run a homeless shelter, for its first 5 years, almost 30 years ago (until a car crash), that helped those who needed it most, and still does today, (only under different leadership), called StreetReach Ministries. That said, my conservatism and faith never became terrorism, hate, or divisiveness, because it was tempered by the compassion, unconditional love, and open-mindedness given to me by both my parents, who too believed in God, but not in violence promoting Christian activism, nor the rejoining of church and state.

So, with all that as context, I close with an admonition to remember. Remember the power of love. Remember that just because someone looks different than us, goes to a different place of worship than we do, and maybe even comes from another country, even if entering at the risk of being arrested, is not automatically a drug-addled criminal intent on destroying our way of life. That's just not true. Sure, there are bad actors and very awful people doing sneaky and unlawful things that we despise.

The majority of people looking to America to remain the beacon of democracy and inclusion, however, are simply looking to bust their asses doing jobs most Americans won't do, long enough to send money home to their families while eventually seeking asylum here. The bad guys are there, but they are not now, as they were not back at the beginning of this experiment, necessarily the bulk of those coming in or even a huge percentage of those looking for a better life. That is just a fact.

America was built on the backs of immigrants. We must not forget this and forever be thankful for that fact. It is from this place of understanding, compassion, love, and unity that the difficult problems of today will be resolved. If we continue to let 45 dictate that the opposite is true and that only hate will win the day, then it is our own fault for not admitting our mistakes, taking appropriate action to see him held accountable for his many crimes, and so overwhelmingly voting him away from any political office, so that justice can be served.

The choice is ours. Voting for Democracy or voting for fulfilling the degenerate desires of a power-hungry crook. I believe we will come together and take such a huge stand that no one in their right mind can argue it isn't so. I believe in love.

God bless. Be well and take care of yourself.
Sincerely,
R

Hope the judge stays calm and gives him no chance to appeal. That's the most important thing.

[lindalambertson]

Play the Access Hollywood tape over and over.
He does not know he is being taped and he is bragging to a man whose reputation was ruined just for listening to him.
There was complete silence from him and his campaign for 2 days then they came out with the
" locker room talk" excuse.
Bring out the other 20 plus women who have accused him over the years.
His reputation and his words speak the truth.
I hope she is able to put all of this behind her one day.
But, she needs to hold her head high now.

[reecom]

Trump is like a “Grumpy Old Man” at a large family gathering that nobody remainders inviting and constantly wants to be the center of attention making loud meaningless comments and interrupting other people as they speak.
