Not to defend Donnie the Rapist, but on a very limited viewpoint I can see the gently caress-you appeal of continuously racking up libel verdicts if the amount of the judgements are inconsequential for you. Kinda like the Demolition Man cursing citation scene. Just keep getting hauled back into court every few months for what you called the same person you lost to last time, again and again. "What, it costs me 0.00001% of my net worth to call her a lying piece of poo poo? Send"

This isn't a world where Iran has long ranged strike capabilities. It's a world where anyone can buy long ranged strike capabilities from shady Chinese venders online at the low low prices of $57k a pop. Oh, and the same company also sells anti-drone jamming guns. https://twitter.com/MerruX/status/1747296854524539352

Apropos of nothing in particular. It the audiobook for Snow crash is hilarious 30 years later. It’s so bad it horse shoe’s itself all the way around to meh again from god awful. I forgot about this book until about like 2013 or so. Keep in mind all the billionaires we love to lampoon were greatly influenced by the book. Keep that in mind especially with the child rape bits. Because oh boy is that ever present. Also YT people, am I rite?

So Donnie is having a mad in court today in the punishment phase of the E. Jean Carroll case, and he really, really wants to get tossed by the judge for propaganda purposes. Judge won't bite, but that's not Donnie's biggest problem, as legal analysts are asking questions like this about his lawyer: https://twitter.com/renato_mariotti/status/1747723557851873711?t=dsHm80MyyR3hK4R__VpyXA&s=19 Also Habba's doing the victim blaming thing, which as Popehat says: it's the kind of argument that, when it doesn’t work, doesn’t work in a very big way.

The first chapter of Snow Crash is amazing (Hiro’s pizza delivery). Then it goes downhill fast. E: Also I have respect for naming your main character Hiro Protagonist. I’d have more respect if the rest of the book was good enough to justify the joke.

davecrazy posted:Is her entire line of questioning trying to make the point that being raped by Trump was good for her career? Pretty much. Carroll is trying to prove the damage to increase the amount the jury awards. Donnie is trying to argue that she asked for it to be famous, therefore the defamatory statements weren't damaging. It's really gross poo poo that would be handled delicately by good lawyers, but Donnie doesn't have those.

A federal loving judge told a billionaire's lawyer today that he was giving her a 20 minute break to refresh herself on the rules of evidence so she could introduce a document. After said recess, he has to stop her from improperly putting stuff in front of the jury again and talks her step by step through the procedure. I would loving die if I were ever that ill prepared to step in front of a federal judge.
