![]() Carroll's original lawsuit is Carroll v Trump in the same court, No. ![]() District Court, Southern District of New York, No. Trump is also suing Carroll for defamation, after she said "oh yes, he did oh yes, he did" when asked on CNN about the jury finding that he did not commit rape.Ĭarroll wants to dismiss that claim, saying her statement was "substantially true" and reflected her thoughts as the verdict was read. She amended it after Trump disparaged her in a CNN town hall one day after the $5 million verdict, calling her account "fake" and her a "whack job." The judge also said the evidence justified awarding Carroll $3 million for defamation, rejecting Trump's claim that the award was based on "pure speculation" about how Carroll's reputation was harmed.Ĭarroll filed her first lawsuit in November 2019. Trump's argument therefore ignores the bulk of the evidence at trial, misinterprets the jury's verdict, and (ignored) evidence of what actually occurred between Ms. Carroll's vagina with his fingers, causing immediate pain and long lasting emotional and psychological harm," the judge wrote. Trump deliberately and forcibly penetrated Ms. "The proof convincingly established, and the jury implicitly found, that Mr. You are amazing and you are going to help it be better from now on.But Judge Kaplan said New York's penal law defines rape much more narrowly than ordinary people think of the term, and that Trump was wrong to insist it excused him. And we certainly aren’t meant to carry it alone. This world needs you, all of you, vulnerable you. What are your lima beans? What do you need in this moment to be wholly you? Wholly understood? Wholly present? Whatever it is, find its source and drink from its well. And nothing, not pandemic, not politics, not people, should be allowed to steal it from you. Your identity is hard earned by the talent you give to this world. All of the specialists in the world can’t give you identity. We are not meant to hold all of society together at the expense of ourselves. The disease that ails us can’t be cured by a vaccine. ![]() This situation wants to so fully absorb us that we don’t know who we are anymore.īut there is an antidote. And many days, no matter how hard we try to rally, we are just met with another no-win decision. Our isolation has been the perfect petri dish for the disease. It has in some ways put us at war with one another so as to distract us from being unified. So what does this have to do with where we are today? Can you relate to this allegory? This pandemic is doing its best to steal away everything that makes us great our joy, our tolerance, our culture, our power. Submitted by LoudLon on September 29, 2015. Camilla eats the beans and is immediately cured. Bass tablature for Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor) by Robert Palmer. Nearly all of her identity is lost until a wise woman brings her some lima beans. The bad case of stripes consumes Camilla until she is totally absorbed into her environment. They can only see the symptoms of her choice. Doctors and specialists can’t determine what is wrong with her. Her case of stripes worsens and begins to extend to the world around her. So she decides to quit eating them, and, in doing so, she loses herself. Camilla loves lima beans but the other kids make fun of her for liking them. It is the perfect analogy for what I think we are all going through.Ĭamilla develops a bad case of stripes because she refuses to eat lima beans. I haven’t been able to get this book out of my mind for the last two weeks. It reminds me of a book I read to my girls when they were little. The harder we try, the more challenges we continue to face. But let’s face it, our surge capacity is fried. We talk a lot about surge capacity…that innate ability to rally enough hope and energy to make it through difficult circumstances. These last 18 months have been THE MOST challenging of my 20+ year career and that’s saying something because I once used myself as a body shield to break up a fight between two girls (much taller than I am) in a lunchroom in Little Rock in 2010. Can we talk about the elephant in the room for a minute? I know you’re all feeling it as heavily as I am.
