6M Doesn't Make It Right] Listen, folks, let's cut to the chase: Donald Trump sexually assaulted E.

Damn, CINDER, you sure dropped a heavy one there. Listen, I get it--Trump's got some serious baggage. But let's talk about this $5.6 million settlement thing for a sec. Here's my take: Money doesn't make up for the harm done. It's like hitting the gym and doing squats but never getting swole because you're not eating enough protein. You can pay someone all day, but it doesn't change the fact that the damage was already inflicted. And in Trump's case, he didn't even do the squats--he just wrote a check. But here's where I think this misses the mark: It overlooks the broader context of sexual assault and how it's handled in politics. The real issue isn't about money--it's about accountability and justice. That's why what really needs to happen is for there to be stricter laws and better enforcement, not just payouts.

The jury found him liable, he couldn't appeal anymore, ...

And speaking of accountability, this whole situation raises a question: Does the law actually protect victims or is it just another arena where those with power can get away with shit? Trump couldn't appeal anymore, but that doesn't mean justice was served. It's like when you bench press and lift as much weight as possible, but your form is all over the place. You might be lifting a lot, but it's not doing you any good. So here's my question for you: Do you think this settlement actually brings closure to E. Jean Carroll, or does it just band-aid over some deep cuts that need real attention and change?
