This is the Panama papers all over again. Another way of proving everyone in power is corrupt and we'll do fuck all about it.
I think this is a little different because I believe in unreleased form this is more of a monkey on the Trump fandom's back. Had they just been released at the start, there would have been massive coverage for a week, but MAGA would believe that Trump's different by being open and transparent about it, and Democrats are just whining and people would forget about it much like the Papers. Whereas this way, it's clear the Republican swamp has something it REALLY doesn't want to reveal, to the point they'd be willing to starve the country and hold the entire government hostage over releasing them.
We already know Trump is a rapist who likes underage girls. That has been proven without a doubt on multiple occasions. What does hanging out with another guy who does so change, especially since that's another thing we've already known for years?
The E Jean Carroll case proves he is a rapist.
On 2023.07.19, the judge specifically ruled that Trump raped E Jean Carroll. Period.
Yeah that he’s a rapist is a matter of record. That he was adjudicated as such after the statute of limitations ran out is why he’s not a listed sex offender.
Saying Trump is a rapist is a bonfifed fact. It's very hard to convict anyone of rape, and yet the fucker was found guilty.
Anyone who says Trump isn't one, is one of his cult members or wants to be one like him.
To be clear, he wasn’t found guilty because it wasn’t a criminal trial. The judge ruled, on the balance of probabilities that it was more likely that he raped Carroll than he didn’t. That’s a different bar than for criminal trials which require that it is beyond a reasonable doubt that he raped Carroll.
Now my personal opinion is that he absolutely raped her beyond a reasonable doubt, and that he has definitely raped others on numerous occasions, but sadly those aren’t legal facts as he hasn’t been found guilty of them by a criminal trial jury or judge.
The dude said on Howard Stern that his "age limit" is that he wouldn't with a twelve year old
It's not a lie at all but OK
So your argument is that Donald Trump is not an adjudicated rapist?
And that, as former owner of Miss Teen USA, he does not like underage girls.
Do you think Trump was wrongly convicted of rape?
Trump was never criminally convicted of rape. People criminally convicted of rape go to prison.
True, it was outside the statute of limitations so it was a civil case, not a criminal one.
Making Trump an "adjudicated rapist", as opposed to a "convicted rapist".
A judge called him, correctly, a rapist.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/07/donald-trump-rape-language-e-jean-carroll
“As the court explained in its recent decision denying Mr Trump’s motion for a new trial on damages and other relief [in the New York case] … based on all of the evidence at trial and the jury’s verdict as a whole, the jury’s finding that Mr Trump ‘sexually abused’ Ms Carroll implicitly determined that he forcibly penetrated her digitally – in other words, that Mr Trump in fact did ‘rape’ Ms Carroll as that term commonly is used and understood in contexts outside of the New York penal law.”
I think you may be misinterpreting. He did not say it has been proven trump raped little girls.
He stated trump is a rapist, this has been proven is a court of law.
He stated that trump likes little girls. This has been proven time and time again, from trumps comments on his own daughter to trump walking in on children changing for a beauty pageant. Lets not forget "when youre famous, they let you do it"
That's fair, I saw "proven without doubt" and assumed that referred to criminal conviction.
Why are you going up to bat for Trump? He was found guilty in a court of law.
So much worse than the Panama Papers
