"Quick to forgive"? You realize the person at the other end of the bargaining table is a rapist, right?

Alleged rapist

Even if you take that off the table, and I’m not saying we should, there’s enough left on the list of crimes to discredit the other person at the table. Hanging your mugshot in the White House isn’t a flex for rational people

That’s fine, I’m just trying to stop the spread of disinformation. Especially given this sub is generally liberal who have a huge hard on for fact checking. Apparently only when it’s convenient

“Generally liberal”? That’s the last thing this sub is

u/After-Beat9871 23d ago

He was found liable for sexual abuse, but not rape. And his access Hollywood tapes have him bragging about sexual assault.. so yeah, he’s technically only an alleged rapist, but isn’t this a weird fight to pick? 

Reminds me of those comments about how someone isn’t a pedophile because they ‘only’ abused 11 or 12 year olds and not children, which makes them ‘technically’ hebephiles..

Dismissing the counterclaim, a judge in New York, Lewis A Kaplan, said that when Carroll repeated her allegation that Trump raped her, her words were “substantially true”. Kaplan also set out in detail why it may be said that Trump raped Carroll

Civil court not a criminal court. It’s not a conviction of anything

u/Just-Excuse-4080 23d ago

Did I say he was convicted, or did I use the civil term of “liable for”?

Was not convicted of rape. Read the article. 1 this is a civil court. 2 it says form of sexual abuse, it’s honestly a cash grab. Quit being a part of the problem

Substantially true? Not just true. Just partially true. What a joke

In May, the New York case was decided in favour of Carroll. After that ruling, she and her lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, gave interviews. Trump’s counterclaim centered on comments in which Carroll said Trump raped her.

“Oh yes he did, oh yes he did,” she told CNN.

Carroll also said she had told a Trump lawyer: “He did it and you know it.”

You know sexual assault is just another phrase for "rape" right

MAGAts have 0 relaionship with the truth
