Irreparable Harm

Now here’s an argument…

Trump’s lawyers filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision not to hear the appeal. They argued that Trump would suffer “irreparable harm” if the money is paid out, because Carroll has said she intends to donate it, which would make it difficult to recover the funds if the verdict is later overturned.

I should have tried that one during my divorce-inspired financial conniptions.

She can’t have the money because she might spend it m’lord. Then how would I get it back?

The whole point of harm, in my experience, is to make it irreparable. Otherwise it’s possibly not even harmful.

Practitioners of irreparable harm can’t spell karma and have no interest in learning to do so.

Most satisfyingly, they don’t even recognise karma when it hits them in the face.

I comfort myself by telling myself that schadenfreude doesn’t attract capital gains.

I hope I didn’t just jinx it.
