    I love that “touching my shoulder” is sexual assault while “grab em by the psy” is not

    That would be one of the most disgusting and bigoted statements I have ever had the misfortune to read on this board

    That is because your mind is altered by Democrat propaganda.
    Most of the politically charged rape accusation were fake, that is a fact of life.

    That is absolutely BS.

    Rape stats are well known. If you have something to say about numbers of rape cases, CITE IT.

    That is an opinion of yours that you can not support.

    How do you know the jury "heard all the evidence"?

    It is your opinion against my opinion.
    The fact is that women has special rights, it is extremely easy to accuse men, especially if case is politially charged.

    You do not know any such thing. Perhaps you believe it, perhaps not. Either way, it is a sexist and misogynistic statement not based in fact.

    It's easy to accuse anybody of anything, especially in America. Filing a case and getting a conviction is another matter.

    Women have NO special rights.

    And, your defense of rapists is absolutely sociopathic.

    There are stats on reporting rates and prosecution rates and defense techniques that demonstrate how prosecution of rape is nearly impossible. Just 1% of rapes end with convictions.

    As a society at present, America is really not all that opposed to RAPE!

    That says a LOT about America - and about you as a supporter of this "activity".

    So much for Equal Justice Under Law.

    “Equal justice under law is not merely a caption on the facade of the Supreme Court building, it is perhaps the most inspiring ideal of our society.” Lewis F. Powell, Jr.

    Do you seriously believe that "equal justice under the law" means that a former president should be protected from civil suits for sexual assault???

    This case would have been dismissed if Trump was not a candidate.

    WOW - more totally baseless claims, along with the hopes and dreams that Trump's numerous illegal activities can be ignored.

    Are you thinking that rape should be downgraded to misdemeanor status?

    That's not the argument. The arguement is to go after all those who are in power as thoroughly as we did trump.

    When do we get to investigate Biden?

    Unfortunately for Trump, there is a tape recording, in which he mentioned the alleged incident at a department store in New York back in the 1990s. This was used as a confession of Trump during the trial.

    On October 7, 2016, one month before the United States presidential election, The Washington Post published a video and accompanying article about then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and television host Billy Bush having "an extremely lewd conversation about women" in 2005. Trump and Bush were in a bus on their way to film an episode of Access Hollywood, a show owned by NBCUniversal.

    It may never have been brought in the first place if he had not gotten into politics. Seems some people have an urge to hold public officials to a high standard, while others are determined to hold them to no standard as long as they bear the correct party label.

    The obviously frivolous lawsuit was filed and not thrown out on the assumption that it would reduce Trump's base of support. The DNC should have stopped all this ridiculous ham handed political persecution as soon as he left office.

    “Donald Trump is the clear GOP front-runner for 2024. This isn’t news—he has dominated most polling since the day Joe Biden was sworn in. Despite leading the GOP to a historically bad midterm, being saddled with a dismal 25 percent approval rating, and becoming the first former president to be indicted, his prospects for winning the Republican nomination are only growing stronger.

    Since the indictment, Republicans—including those running against him—have rallied to Trump’s defense. His fundraising has surged. And he’s racked up endorsements. Meanwhile, his Republican opposition is floundering. Nikki Haley is apparently double-counting her fundraising. Mike Pence is getting booed by party hard-liners. Asa Hutchinson, Tim Scott, and Vivek Ramaswamy toil in also-ran obscurity. Ron DeSantis is the only candidate within hailing distance of Trump, but his campaign is sputtering.

    Over the course of hundreds of focus groups I’ve conducted, a large chunk of GOP voters have made clear that they would be content with a nominee other than Trump in 2024—preferably a “Trump without the baggage”–style candidate. They like that the former president is, in their words, a “fighter.” But after eight years of Trump tweets, taunts, and tantrums, they’re open to—in many cases eager for—new alternatives. So how is Trump on pace to run away with the nomination?”

    It was obviously a frivolous lawsuit.

    This woman filed a civil suit against Trump for having raped her and then defamed her over a period of time.

    That was HER decision.

    She won her suit.

    Now YOU think someone should have cockblocked her?

    Seriously?

    Oh beyond all the weird and creepy ways Biden interacts with minors could fill a thick enough scrap book. The dude seems to lack self awareness whenever he's around children.

    I'm not talking about this;
    [​IMG]
    Or this
    [​IMG]

    Which are weird but we could pass it off as innocent enough.

    I'm referring to this video which clearly shows a little girl trying to pull away from Biden when his hand gets near her chest, who later CONFIRMED he touched her inappropriately.



    upload_2023-5-10_18-15-26.png

    Now pay attention to her reason as to why she won't come forward. "I would do something about tbh if I though it would help but I honestly just think at this point it would make people angry and I already HAD PEOPLE CALLING ME OUT SAYING I'M LYING"

    The absolute pathetic nerve of progressives to victim shame a little girl for admitting she was inappropriately groped by a man because it would be inconvenient.

    And I already know you will dismiss this because again, PATHETIC. So I'm just wondering when we get to have Biden investigated for this? Because if you think you stand on some moral high ground because Trump had to pay out 5 mil on a bullshit lawsuit designed specifically to try and tarnish his campaign...you don't.
