Trump groped her and called her a liar, and now he's trying to keep her from being heard in court
Laura Clawson -- Dec 05, 2017

No wonder Donald Trump is hugging Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore so hard this week. As Moore tries to brush off accounts of how, as a man in his 30s, he pursued and in some cases molested or assaulted teenage girls, Trump’s lawyers are trying to get a defamation lawsuit by one of Trump’s many sexual harassment and groping victims dismissed.

Zervos — a former contestant on "The Apprentice" — alleges in the lawsuit that she and her business were damaged after Trump's derogatory statements about her in the wake of her sexual misconduct allegations against Trump.

Trump's lawyers have argued in court filings that the president's comments were "non-actionable fiery rhetoric." They have alleged the statements made by Zervos were politically motivated.

Justice Jennifer Schecter is expected to rule on Tuesday whether the case should go on to the New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan.

In addition to claiming that Trump was just engaging in political speech when he repeatedly called Zervos (along with a number of his other victims) a liar, Trump’s lawyers say that the president can't be sued in state court—but the Supreme Court established, in Clinton v. Jones, that a sitting president can be sued in federal court. .....................

3. We care but people dont care

There is actually no reason for trump not to just come out and say “I raped her and I liked it” because no one cares what he says or does...republicans will make excuses and the Christian Right will come out and blame the victim.

(I remind people of trump rallies in which female trump supporters were wearing shirts that said ‘trump can grab me by the pussy’ with an arrow pointing to their vagina)

6. Expect the christian right to say

"tRump raped her....for Jesus!" and give some out of context bible verse for support.

7. I disagreed. trump's supporters are not the majority. It this is proven he will be out...

as this, added to the obstruction of justice and Russian allegations will tip the balance towards either impeachment or the 25th Amendment.

8. People do care, and the backlash will be swift and proportionate.

Don't conflate M$M script readers with real people and reality. The propaganda mechanism can contain the current situation for only so long,and then the pendulum swings in accord with the laws of the universe, the further off center it was the faster it races back to equilibrium.

4. But I just heard yesterday that the president was above the law
