So I just discovered that I have been working next to the waste of oxygen that raped my best friend several years ago. I work in a manufacturing environment and I know that you can’t fire someone just for being a sex offender unless it directly interferes with work duties (in the US). But despite it being a primarily male workforce he does work with several women who have no idea what he is. He literally followed a woman home, broke into her house, and raped her. Him working here puts every female employee at risk. How is that not an unsafe working environment? How is it at even legal to employ him anywhere where he will have contact with women?

        It did not say it’s not rape. Rape is a criminal term to be used in criminal court. Sexual Assault is the civil court term for rape. He was not punished, he was sued.

        What college did you go to kiddo? You seem real dim.

            No part of that says he did not do it, which is your claim. Are you illiterate?

                That does not mean he didn’t do it. You need a brush up on your 3rd grade reading comprehension.

                The Court was required to use softer language because the violent sex crime he committed and is unapologetic about was committed in the 90s.

                There’s a statue of limitations that prevents him from being criminally charged. But as part of a defamation case a jury found that there was sufficient evidence to determine that Trump knowingly and intentionally lied when he said he didn’t rape her.

                Which is to say - a jury unanimously ruled that he committed the act that would be would otherwise be called rape, but because of a legal technicality can’t be. Not everyone on that Jury was a liberal, woke Democrat. There were Republicans that heard testimony and saw evidence and determined that he forced a woman to have sex against her will.

                He did it. The he got successfully sued again for lying about it more and lashing out against his victim.

                In every way that matters when evaluating someone’s character, he’s an unrepentant, vengeful rapist.

        Right, how do you think he sexually assaulted her 30 years ago? They didn’t have the evidence to support full blown penetrative rape because any fluids or internal damage to her body would have long been healed over or ejected. The SA liability came with an $83.3M price tag. Do you get slapped with a punishment like that for grabbing a boob?
