You're not. You're defending the worst leader the West has seen in decades. He's a rapist, a fascist, a liar, a crook, a con man and a parasite. Heck, you've tacitly admitted it yourself when you pretend not to be defending him but of course you end up back at this point, spouting debunked MAGA lies and both sides. It's been years and we're not just well aware of it, we're tired of it.
You're victim blaming, fyi legally what he did would be classified as rape in Ireland and plenty of other places. You jump to implying guilt on the part of the victim and really just going to show that there's little you won't defend Trump on. Also I'm pretty sure if this was a Democrat, you'd be expressing a very different view.
Well firstly it was a civil case not a criminal case, meaning the verdict was supposed to be based on a preponderance of the evidence, as opposed to the much more demanding standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, which is required for a criminal conviction.
The question for the jurors was whether it was more likely than not that Trump had sexually assaulted Carroll.
The jurors notably did not accept Carroll's characterization of her encounter with Trump as Rape. But they did conclude it was more likely than not that Trump had "sexually abused" Carroll.
Bear in mind this civil case was in New York, a state that hates Trump, I’m not sure he can get a fair trial there to be honest.
Not at all, you posted your unwashed, pro rapist opinion.
Silent Majority Centrist lol
It's so tiring, it's always just bubbling under the surface, defending misogyny, racism, rapes, election denial, it's not based in any reality and constantly derails the discussion about trump. trump is a rapist; he has been ordered to pay $83,000,000 in punitive damages for that. He's also likely to be convicted as a fraudster too, which no doubt will be defended against by the same people defending the rape.
If they can't see they're destroying the GOP and conservatism in general, there's no hope for them.
It had often the case in the States too, but Donnie has got his supporters like the poster defending him here, who will defend anything he does as he is “their man” no matter what. Not even the most monstrous inhumane things will change their minds. Since there are enough of them out there and Donnie simply has no shame, he keeps play-acting as presidental material instead of fecking off.
For someone who claims not to defend a rapist you sure are doing a lot of that.
"a state that hates Trump" LMFAO the snowflakery
I bet if BLM rioters were inserting their fingers into MAGA vaginas, Centrists would leap at the chance to call it rape.
Jesus, the world is just out to get him, isn’t it…I mean, it’s not like he has a track record of incidents with women at all, is it?
You're making flat out fantasy guesses there mate, I’ll hazard a guess you have access to the same info as us, which is less than the courts would have.
So, spare us the faux outrage and guess work. Take that to the conspiracy forum.
How repugnant must a candidate be if their supports are too embarrassed to admit they are supporters
Court monitor unsurprisingly finds that Trump's filings were inconsistent and incomplete
"I have identified certain deficiencies in the financial information that I have reviewed, including disclosures that are either incomplete, present results inconsistently, and/or contain errors," former federal judge Barbara Jones, tasked with scrutinizing the former president's business empire, wrote in a 12-page letter.
Though she described Trump and his businesses as "cooperative" with her investigation, Jones added that "information required to be submitted to me pursuant to the terms of the monitorship order and review protocol has, at times, been lacking in completeness and timeliness."
Edit: ah what's the point.
It is the case in the US, but only if a democrat does it.
For example, when allegations were made against Al Franken his political career was ended almost immediately.
Well they have to admit to admiring and wanting to emulate a sex offender. But that doesn't stop some from doing so then "backtracking"
No .
The jury heard that she couldn't be certain whether or not Trump had forcibly jammed one of his teeny tiny fingers into her vagina against her will or if had it been his teeny tiny penis that he used to violate her.
And because the narrow and archaic NY definition of rape requires that it definitely be a penis that was involved they could only find him liable for Sexual Assault.
But make absolutely no mistake, they believed EVERYTHING she said, every single word.
Have a sit down and think about how f*cking awful a person you have to be to try and equivocate this issue.
Try and have that debate with the women in your life and let us know how you get on.
Disgusting.
In what way are these tweets related to the incident?
Does a woman give up the right to consent to any sexual encounter, once she admits that she likes sex?
What century are you from?
I think he's trying to go back to flirting going awry or some such ****. Reminds me of the people who leaped to the defence of Weinstein. He carefully avoids admitting that it would constitute a rape in Ireland and plenty of other places.
Lads he's not a Trump supporter, but he'll defend him at any point he can
And never criticise Trump unprompted... has to be dragged out and always couched with both sides.
Never once comes to the defence of someone unjustly attacked by Trump - and there have been many.
Claims of not being a Trump supporter have zero credibility. Self discrediting at this stage.
"Individuals often develop post hoc excuses or justifications to explain morally reprehensible behaviors"
"Sexual assault perpetrators often use post-assault excuses or justifications to shift blame to the victim, using the victim’s behaviors or other environmental cues to justify their sexually aggressive behavior"
Sound familiar?
Obviously, Franken was forced to resign by his own party. Presumably, Trump wouldn't be doing so well in the Republican primaries if there were not so many women voting for him - his female supporters must really hate liberal American women.
Uplifting news, Mochas with MAGA ep. 4 celebrates a woman who participated in Jan 6 managed to get out of the Trump Cult
I don't believe her story.
Even if I did, look! She writes about sex... so... *Nudge nudge*.. You know what I mean??
He wasn't found "guilty of rape".
The jury didn't find he was beyond a reasonable doubt,
It technically wasn't rape.
Sure anyway - he couldn't get a fair trial in NYC!!!
Now - see how ridiculous that sounds?
Oh dear god!
Probably the realisation that Kennedy's COVID and overall politics means he's more likely to steal Trump votes than Biden. And if there are genuine number crunchers in Trump HQ then they'll realise the primary numbers so far haven't been great with independents either.
Now Biden needs to contact Liz Chaney to really wind them up.
As seemingly the only moderate left in this country, that would be a political wet dream for me, he would lose a huge number of under 30s college educated, if he hasn't lost them already though.
Especially so when at some point there was also a line about respecting the verdict of the courts...
Liz Cheney?? Moderate????
Not being a Nazi is the qualification for being a moderate in America now.
