And a black woman is doing that same exact thing in Georgia. And a black woman forced you to pay $175 million fine.
Donald Trump is being held to account by the very multicultural, multiracial democracy that he's trying to dismantle. And for me, there's something poetic and actually wonderful. Go DEI. My DEIs are bringing it home.

For a man who has tried to claim that he is not interested in retribution, Donald Trump sure has an odd way of showing it. Just this week, he settled a defamation suit against ABC News for $15 million based on anchor George Stephanopoulos using imprecise language to describe what a jury found that Donald Trump actually did to E.J. and Carol, namely sexual abuse and defamation.

Al Capone, you know, criminals and everything else like that. I think the sad part about this, frankly... is that I am not going to pretend that in a country that's been started and operated off of violence, that violence doesn't sometimes solve things.

especially online, where the Internet sleuths who often dedicate themselves to tracking down people accused of racist behavior in public places, criminals, including January 6 fugitives and more, have been actively refusing to help.
