What Ms. Carroll did was exceedingly brave. I hope she has some satisfaction in knowing that this horrible man at least was held up to the light...and a jury did not buy his story.
Stormy Daniels and E Jean Carroll. Two exceptionally brave women who stood up to a serial sexual predator and so far the only two to land punches against the biggest bully in America. Thank you E Jean!!!!!
I consider this to be a multi pronged achievement. For Ms. Carroll, how hard it would be to live all these years with that horrid man always in your face. She deserves this victory.
For women everywhere, we are still not believed when we say something has happened to us personally at the hands of a man. This helps open eyes and ears.
For America, perhaps...just perhaps, this will shed light into the eyes of some blinded by Trumps popularity.
I am horrified at how perceived powerful men can act with impunity after repeatedly committing such obcene acts. Ms Carroll did the right thing and in spite of her scars, which will take a lifetime to heal, is admired by many. May this help her start healing the scars and healing.
I find it irrational that evangelical Christians will continue to support someone (Mr. "Corinthians Two") convicted of sexual assault. I expect that sycophancy from GOP politicians without an ounce of ethics. But evangelical Christians? Perhaps that's why churches of all persuasions are half full or less these days. Maybe we should ask evangelicals their favorite question: "What would Jesus do?"
I think that what did Trump in more than the Access Hollywood tape was his own deposition. It's no wonder his lawyers don't want him speaking in court.
Your cautionary words are hopefully not prophetic. Marjorie Taylor Green and Matt Gaetz have already made arrangements for Tara Reade, the woman who accused Joe Biden of similar acts as those of Trump, to come before their committee and testify. Are we really surprised? The republicans are hell bent on revenge, and that is what will at least, in part, determine the overall effect of today's verdict. Do we honestly believe that Kevin McCarthy's purpose in holding up the vote on the debt ceiling is in the interest of the country........or might it be to insure that whatever damage would result if we default on our debt will be leveled at Joe Biden as we head into another election cycle? The only chance there is to overcome what might be horrific damage is for the democrats to mount a full blown campaign to promote the successes of Biden's administration and show, by contrast, how much more he can accomplish. The republicans have shown us what they will do. We have to get ahead of them or be prepared to live with the results. Kudos to Jean Carroll for her courage, but without strong, defensive moves by democrats, the verdict won't have much of an effect. This should be a call to action!!
The sad commentary is that a Fake news agency has contributed to this lack of truth and moral decay of too many people. This woman is evidently. One of many. Sexual assault has nothing to do with appearances or passion. It is act of violence. Sad state of affairs for our world.
"E. Jean Carroll put herself and her story into the narrative of our times in a way that just might make a difference. Or at least get us pointed more resolutely in the right direction." Yes yes YES STEADY!!
It’s nice to see DJT held accountable for his actions. And seeing Ms. Carroll win out over his ghoulish behavior after all these years is very satisfying. However, let’s not fool ourselves, his devoted deviants will support him no matter what. Remember his brag about shooting someone on 5th Avenue and not losing any voters? DJT had not been right about much, but he was spot on with this statement. He is bruised a bit but just as dangerous as he was yesterday. We all need to VOTE this carcinogen out of our public lives or face dire consequences. A second Trump presidency would be the end of our democracy, and perhaps even our last presidential election, ever.

Thank you, Dan and Elliot.
For my part, the celebration is E. Jean Carroll's to claim. Seeing her smile as she walked out the courthouse doors was vindication enough for me.

I applaud her courage. This is a sad day for America when a victim of sexual assault must prove her case. No Donald, you can’t get away with this!
Presidents Clinton, Kennedy and Eisenhower, to name a few, had consensual relations with their
trysts. trump forced his way upon Ms. Carroll. A whole lot of difference.

I was watching live on both CNN and BBC. My thoughts when watching the BBC coverage, --disgustingly embarrassed by him and applauding her courage.

The jury didn’t need much time to deliberate. It was obvious.
He is gross. She got her day in court. I can’t thank her enough for getting the truth out there.
