This deserves a blog of it's own. Back in the 1990's Carroll claims Donald Trump raped her in a famous New York City department store. Trump denied her allegation. He said she's not his type.
I read she kept the garment she was wearing that has his sperm on it and a DNA test would be conclusive. I also read the court isn't allowing the test.
There's a second issue of defamation where he's being sued by Carroll based on disparaging comments he made in response to her accusation.
Trump's lawyers tried and failed to get both cases dismissed.
Over the years, he's been accused of rape several times, but none of them stuck. I recall one woman backed out before the trial due to death threats.
Another woman came forward and the situation was different. Either Trump or one of his lawyers made a clarification or comparison, but that only sounded like he was part of both and the women weren't lying.
So the man who's in court over business fraud, indirectly paying a porn star hush money, a boasting womanizer with a history of affairs while married, had partied with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is teetering over a rape case that may actually lean in Carroll's favor. He would be found guilty of s*xual assault. Convicted Rapists in Florida are on a list and their movements are often restricted.

Dude bout to have a bad day
FOX finally realizing that their recent loss of (US) $787,000,000 in a lawsuit in which lies by Tucker Carlson played a huge role, facing additional even larger lawsuits in which, again, false statements on the air play a large role, and having been notified their core broadcast license is under FCC review saw the writing on their wall and has released Tucker Carlson from their network.
Although some would argue it is a little more than Putin's speech in February predicted of only 3% but still a little better than some Asian analysts had forecast. Income tax revenue fell by 21.9% over last year's 1st quarter.
Russia spent just over 8 Trillion Rubles (99 Billion US Dollars) this last quarter.
The 2023 Russian budget (released last August) allows Russia to spend only 29 Trillion Rubles (about 350 Billion US dollars) for the entire year. In short Russia has significantly overspent what it's 2023 budget forecast their spending.
Russia's spending on state procurements (2.5 Trillion Rubles or about 52 Billion US dollars) in the 1st quarter was over 50% higher than it's procurements in 2022. The 2023 budget allocated only about 5 Trillion Rubles (61 Billion US Dollars) for all of 2023.
The Net deficit for the 1st Quarter of 023 is about 2.4 Trillion Rubles (about 29.3 Billion US dollars (more than the 24 Billion dollars the US spent on the Apollo moon program)).
The 2023 Russian budget was a little controversial in some domestic quarters when it was released, because in order to raise government procurement and increase the number of state security personnel the Duma agreed to a budget that greatly deduced things like medicine, hospital outlays, road improvements, maintenance, education, etc.
The Russian budget called for a total deficit in 2023 of 2.9 Trillion Rubles (36 Billion US dollars) or about 3.5% for all of 2023. The actual loss of 2.4 Trillion Rubles just in the 1st quarter of the year is about 83% of all of the anticipated loss. It is very probable much more financial loss is oncoming to Russia.
Last summer on RT.com in a text there I pointed out the Russian 2023 budget was essentially worthless toilet paper as it totally ignored the upcoming Oil and oil product sanctions. Naturally all on that site who worship Putin says disagreed with me and claimed I listened to too much CNN and the EU & NATO would back down and not implement any sanctions or lift them once the cold weather arrived. Sigh.
The War between Russia and Ukraine will probably continue another 2 or 3 years. Contrary to Russian myth the West is not even close to financial collapse. Russia's cash reserves(the well fund) are currently expected to totally run out sometime this September or October). The obvious short term solution will be to just print more Rubles. Of course that will immediately result in further devaluation of the Russian Ruble which has already fallen to about 1 Ruble = (about) US $0.01 per dollar. Just over a US penny a Ruble today, 81 to the dollar (and falling). It is very obvious the longer Putin and his supporters continue their illegal war the more the other people of Russia will become unemployed, suffer or just vanish from their Census..
In WWI when it's economy reached a similar state the Kaiser's Germany was smart enough to simply surrender. Putin and his supporters are not that smart and has no desire to dance at the end of a hangman's noose which the War Crimes they allowed ensure they will. So it continues.

Hilarious, arbitrators said Nevada-based computer forensics expert Robert Zeidman is entitled to the $5m prize Mr Lindell offered before an August 2021 “cyber symposium” as part of what he called the “Prove Mike Wrong” challenge.
Zeidman proved unequivocally that the statement made by Lindell was totally false.
