tiedrich on substack: "E. Jean Carroll is a boss"




she could have, as have so many women before her, tried to forget it ever happened. she could have said nothing. she could have done her best to tamp down the memory of the day that vile pig assaulted her.

but she didn’t. she spoke out. she named his name. and she filed suit.

a brave act.

brave because speaking out cost her her job.

brave because her good name is now being dragged through the right-wing press.

brave because the gross deviant who violated her is rich and powerful. he is fueled by spite. he is obsessed with revenge. he is a destroyer of lives.

but E. Jean doesn’t care. she wants justice.

right now, in a courtroom in Manhattan, a jury is listening to the facts of the case.

let’s hope that maybe, just maybe, for once in his privileged pampered life, this despicable degenerate is held accountable for his disgusting actions.

E. Jean Carroll, thank you.

And if TFG is found guilty I hope Ms. Carroll wins a huge settlement. Between Ms. Carroll and

If he’s deficient - um - “below the belt”, shall we say, no wonder he’s had a lifelong hard-on for power and domination. Build the biggest fill-in-the-blank-here, grandest fill-in-the-blank-here, shiniest gold fill-in-the-blank-here, splashiest fill-in-the-blank-here, most talked-about fill-in-the-blank-here, most publicized fill-in-the-blank-here, costliest fill-in-the-blank-here, most dominant fill-in-the-blank-here, most envied because it’s the most superior fill-in-the-blank-here, most heavily publicized and monetized fill-in-the-blank-here, WHATEVER fill-in-the-blank-here.

That’s all.

With his being the monster he is.

He was born an awful person by nature. He was an uncontrollable, violent thug when he was a kid. His parents were no help, but they did recognize what he was. That's why they sent him to the military boarding school. Or to any boarding school that quietly specialized in children with behavior problems.

That's what parents with enough money did back then with kids like him.

I know this because it happened to bullies in schools I attended. And that was with families who were involved with their kids and did care about them. Normal families agonized over the choice they were making, but you can bet that TFG's awful parents hesitated not at all to make him someone else's problem.

Some guy was tweeting at the trial yesterday and I read what the defendant's attorney said and it certainly put a doubt in my mind - and I believe what she said, that he raped her. Yuck!

I heard today that the rape so upended her life that she hasn't had sex or been in love since it happened, missing out on a treasured part of life.

The man is vile. I so hope he will be found guilty.

I was surprised to hear she is 79. She's a few years older than trump but looks a decade younger than he does, if not more.

On many of the news shows tonight they are saying this is a "he said" / "she said." I thought there was DNA evidence. Also she contacted two friends within a short time of the rape, and that is on the record.

So I don't get this "he said she said" stuff.

But I don't think all those women who don't report, who say nothing, who try to forget are not brave. I think the fact that those women get up every day and live their lives means they're unbelievably brave.

E Jean Carrol has said the thing she wants is her day in court. She wants to tell her story. That is how she is dealing with the rape that was perpetrated against her. I am amazed at how hard she has worked to get here and at the sheer will she has shown in doing it. I am so happy to see her doing what she set out to do. This is a victory for her, no matter how it comes out.

I wish equal victories, in their own terms, for all the women who have to deal with the aftermaths of rapes. For some that will mean telling the world. For some it will not.
