Armand, my military family has been “cutting a rusty” over the parade and how disrespectful it is to so many, many groups of people. They also are grateful because it’s going to “get America off its butt and fight for our damn country.”

May the gods of thunder and lightening

Unsheath their electric blade

To bid rhe storm clouds wash away

I pre-ordered the book and can't wait to read all the juicy details!

www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXDS1FM6

"The court ruled that defaming someone is not part of the job description of a president. Especially not when it’s mean, personal, and vindictive. Especially not when it follows credible allegations of sexual assault.

They upheld the jury’s decision, the evidence, and the $5 million verdict. They refused to bend to ego or theatrics. They drew a line, and they didn’t flinch.

The Legal Timeline (Because Facts Still Deserve Airtime)

May 2023: Trump is found liable for sexual abuse and defamation. Carroll wins $5 million.

January 2024: Another jury slams him with an $83.3 million verdict for continued defamation.

December 2024: A 3-judge panel rejects his appeal.

June 13, 2025: The Second Circuit refuses to rehear the case en banc. Game, set, precedent.

Unless the Supreme Court steps in—and why would they?—this chapter is closed.

Crystal-Lee and Gloria Horton-Young -- she who STIRS the STORM! Like so much, the parade of street-slashing TANKS is very dark humor, with very, very damaging results.

The chewed up streets would symbolize the human CRIMES committed by Orange-Tramp.

Defaming someone is not part of the job description the fact that they even tried to present that argument is ludicrous and typical manically egoistically, stupidly, Trump. He who wants to hold all the power will fall and when he does no one will care I know I won’t! Thanks for writing about E. Jean Carroll’s Gloria I will be reading it.

Definitely buying the book! 👏🏻

I have been doing rain dances in my backyard hoping that Felon47’s parade is a total washout! 🌧️⛈️🌧️⛈️🌧️

I unfortunately can’t attend the No Kings protest planned in Austin - I’m still sidelined due to recovering from broken shoulder. But for sure I’m there in spirit!

Congrats on your win - again! Hopefully you'll start to see some of that money, since he's made so much in the last couple months he can afford to pay you now. lol

Gloria,

I love waking up to a “new Gloria”—like finding a lit match tucked into a bouquet of roses. I’d read the Carroll piece yesterday straight from E. Jean herself and felt that delicious zing of poetic justice. What a perfect slap—not just a legal one, but a legacy one—landing right before that man’s attempt to cosplay every dictator from Hitler to Honnecker, with a side of El Commandante bravado. (Though don’t tell him—he probably still fantasizes about being seen as Charles III or Emmanuel Macron. Except, of course, he’ll never be either. He was never crowned—only propped.)

He’s always been a parasite in a gold-plated suit, mistaking wealth for worth and noise for nobility. He thinks he can buy what must be cultivated: presence, command, grace. The truth is, people born into real power—those rare ones who wear it lightly—are often shaped by others, groomed in compassion, taught restraint. Even when they pretend not to care, they feel. They know the cost of impact.

He knows only dominance. No depth, no dignity. Just performance on loop.

And here’s the court, finally stepping in—not with pomp, but with clarity. Saying: You do not get to rewrite the rules just because you were once handed a podium. Not today. Not ever.

So yes. Let it rain. Let it thunder. Let justice drench the marble steps of his pretend throne. And let us write it all down—every flicker of fire, every gust of truth, every woman rising.

Thank you for swinging the bell so hard it echoes. I’m right here with you, inked and weather-ready.

—Jay

I hope that victory Bell for E. Jean rings out, and reverberates around the country.

Oh Therese we all hope it. The 89 Million lawsuit is up next. And what a feast that will be. Let’s see if he’ll let the taxpayer pay it for him.

I'm just so happy every state in America is staging rallies, and NO KING protests now.

It's building momentum for revolutionary change.

The world is cheering them on.

In Scotland, security can't keep people of his golf courses shitting in the holes. They call him the Wee Orange Rat.

The Australian news spoke to a few attendees at the President's big birthday military might parade, saying there were just a few MAGA caps, and most of the sparse crowd said they were there to say thank you to the armed forces, not for Trump.

20 000 at his parade, 50 000 at New York's No King's Demonstration. Democrats are sticking it up his are big time. It's good to see the push back.

Have I told you lately that I love your writing? Every word celebrates every nail in a certain coffin, I would prefer every flame in a crematorium, especially the ones welcoming a certain moron into hell!

You made me want to read the book. I admit I wasn’t aware of the story beyond her winning the first round, and was aghast (again) this man is President. But you certainly fired me up and I want to know more about her.

You know what the really messed up part? He doesn't remember her, which means his body count for assault is probably enormous. He's stalling, so he won't have to pay the money.
