Remember Anita Bryant? She's the former Miss Oklahoma, oily spokesweasel for Florida grown oranges and a HUGE anti-LBGT activist. Incredibly, that wholly out of touch, hate filled, bag of christianist venom is still alive. She’ll be 84 years old in March as long as the bile that courses through her veins doesn’t do her in first.
It makes me smile that she’s lived long enough to see marriage equality become a reality. ALSO, don’t know if Anita attended the wedding but, her granddaughter married a woman, in 2022.
Someone queue up 'Flight of the Valkyries,’ please. Paraphrasing Mr. Duvall here:
Karma, my friends. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of karma in the morning. It smells like victory.

“I think, no l am positive, that you are the most unattractive man I have met in my entire life. You have demonstrated every loathsome characteristic of the male personality and even discovered a few new ones. You are physically repulsive, intellectually retarded, you’re morally reprehensible, vulgar, insensitive, selfish, stupid, you have no taste, a lousy sense of humor... and you smell. You’re not even interesting enough to make me sick.”She was talking to Daryl Van Horne (AKA Satan)—played by Jack Nicholson. You know who it sounds like she’s talking to though? Of course you do.

My very meager understanding (gleaned from lawyers who’ve written about it online) is that Cheeto and his pretty-and-faking-“smart” parking grange lawyer will be unable to successfully file an appeal on the $83.3 million in damages verdict. Heh!
Why not?
- He can't claim that his counsel was bad as the basis for his appeal—that only works for criminal trials. This was a civil trial.
- Habba failed to object to the evidence exhibits brought against Dementia Boy during the trial. Each piece of evidence must have specific objections noted in the court’s record and those rulings are what can be appealed. That this wasn't done means there's no evidentiary basis for an appeal.
Writing an appeal brief requires specific knowledge and skills. Just as Pretty Girl lacks the ability and know-how to be an effective litigator, she’s shit outta luck on the appeal filing front.
Cocky, obstreperous bluster looks good on teevee or in a Tweet but in an actual courtroom (with a real judge versus one of trump’s faithful puppets) you need expertise, competence and capability.
She’s fucked and not in a fun way.
