> [@ArthurItas](#): > > No idea why the size of the punitives is small relative to the damages The jury wanted to award $5m. They apparently didn’t have an actuary among them to make the different components logically consistent. ---

Thanks, that makes $300k in punitive damages. I saw “acted maliciously …” and didn’t know what to make of that. Still just one ten-thousandth of his net worth. ---

I think this really is one of the times where the conviction (verdict?) is what was sought more than monetary damages. her attorney didn’t even request a figure for damages, just “what you guys think is fair” ---

> [@ArthurItas](#): > > No idea why the size of the punitives is small relative to the damages Pure speculation, but with a good chunk of the right-wing frothing about it having been a sham trial, may have been influenced to not look like it was the witch hunt it was claimed to me. I hope I’m wrong as that would feel like a tiered justice system. (FYI - I thought we had a George Santos thread? I was going to post his latest woes of DoJ charging him but I must have been thinking of discussion in other threads.) ---

The Conservative subreddit is a trash fire right now and I’m loving it. The MAGA and former MAGA people are fighting. Unfortunately the mods are removing most comments, especially top-level ones critical of Trump so you have to view the archives to see it. In this case the top-level comment was removed. Likely just because they came later and lower in the thread, the responses here remained up. Some threads are entirely nuked. That subreddit has _long_ been for immediate bans of anybody criticizing Trump, this is wild. ![image](https://community.goactuary.com/uploads/default/original/3X/5/8/581c40a70e551ab1fe195f6df6f4388b3425a484.png) ---

Yep. I read about Trump’s comments in the CNN “townhall” and wondered if Carroll could sue again. We’ve already had a jury decide that her description of the sexual assault is true. When Trump says it isn’t, he’s taking a big step toward another defamation lawsuit. I’ll repeat that IMO the $5 million wasn’t enough to get him to change his behavior. ---

Trump being Trump, I don’t think there’s a civil penalty large enough to get him to voluntarily change his behavior. To effect behavioral change, you would probably need to hogtie and gag him. ---
