So, yes, he did rape her, within the commonly understood definition of that term - so said the trial judge, clarifying the ruling:

You may of course insist on legal niceties such as the strict definition of rape vs sexual abuse, and liability rather than guilt, but then that’s exactly what Trump’s advisors and legal team has been doing in the six months since the trial concluded. Again, I suggest the problem here is less people out to get Trump, and more which bits of the internet you’ve been sucked into. |
Convenient that the accusation wasn’t brought when the level of proof of the crime was beyond a reasonable doubt in front of a jury and the penalty was incarceration, instead of a balance of probabilities and the opinion of a judge with purely financial consequences……….apologies for my scepticism.
You accuse me of not being a free thinker, but I turn it around and accuse you of the same, you don’t come into this discussion without your own biases, that is evident and normal.
There have been many facts, that weren’t…….All those people that were killed on Jan 6th……but weren’t.
The backlash of the “very fine people on both sides” after Charlottesville, where he was misquoted but that misinformation (to use the modern term) was never corrected and was used as the very election springboard for Biden.
My overriding position on this, is that come November, the only deciding factor should be the electorate. If they want to vote for a Narcissistic, misogynistic, disingenuous, fraudulent, fat old man…..then that’s up to them. It shouldn’t be decided by anyone else.
And if the Democrats can’t, or think they can’t, beat such a candidate, then that says a hell of a lot about their proposition.
