If I were on the jury, I'd be asking 'can we give more than that?'

Turns out the Trump White House was running a pill mill under Ronnie Jackson.

"Remember the great outcry when somebody left their cocaine lying around the White House lobby? (You have to remember it because it still comes up from time to time as a part of the Litany Of The Bidens memorized by all MAGA initiates.) Well, it turns out that it shouldn't have been that much of a surprise, since the previous administration* was running a pill mill elsewhere in the building. From the Washington Post:

“We found that the White House Medical Unit provided a wide range of health care and pharmaceutical services to ineligible White House staff in violation of Federal law and regulation and DoD policy,” says a new report from the Defense Department’s inspector general. “Additionally, the White House Medical Unit dispensed prescription medications, including controlled substances, to ineligible White House staff.” Many of those served by the unit should not have been.
Unmentioned in this latest report is Rep. Ronny Jackson, the medicine-show White House physician whom previous reports have fingered as Dr. Feelgood, now d/b/a Congressman Feelgood from the state of Texas.
The report paints a scathing picture of the military-run facility with 60 medical personnel, who are tasked with treating the president, the vice president and the White House staff. It also provides new context to systemic problems in a clinic that made headlines when Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Tex.), who was Donald Trump’s personal doctor until 2018, was accused by almost two dozen colleagues of improper activities, including providing prescription drugs without proper paperwork — a habit that allegedly earned him the nickname “Candyman.” A 2021 Defense Department inspector general report later corroborated some of those claims, which Jackson denied and described as politically motivated.
Whatever. Even without Jackson's barely discernible oversight, the White House Medical Center appears to have been operating like one of those small town West Virginia drugstores that were used as free-standing opiate bazaars."

The Rapist-in-Chief will have to pay E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million (in addition to the $5 million he already owes her). Sad for him. Good for the rest of us.

Only half of Rudy's fine, but he has continued to defame her, and this is unlikely to make him stop, so expect to see a round 3.

UPDATE:
Make that $83.3 million in damages

That's roughly 3.5 times what Carroll’s lawyers asked for. It's gonna be a hot time on (un)Truth Social tonight.

Evidently the answer was an emphatic YES!

Habba gave a great speech outside the courtroom after the penalty trial. Too bad it was all horse shit. Attorneys will take a case knowing it's a loss knowing if they they can put on a good defense it may bring them other clients. Who'll want to retain Habba now?

Habba's little rant was definitely worthy of being labeled horseshit.
