Why state-level legal minutiae impacts what words are used to describe the former president's criminal conduct.

District Judge Lewis Kaplan has said it multiple times: Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll in 1996. Kaplan wrote it in May 2023, when he presided over one of the trials against Trump. And he reminded jurors of the rape this week, during the latest proceedings in the multi-layered, winding rape and defamation cases brought against Trump by Carroll.

    I think you are (intentionally?) confusing the large gap and missing the nuance between raping, potentially even worse things as we’ve recently got more proof of, and acting goofy and awkward with greetings or whatever. Both can be described inappropriate, sure, but you have to realize there’s a long way between rape, pedophilia, and awkward greetings with kisses to forehead or whatever.

      He assaulted Tara Reid and you call it a kiss on the forehead? Your blue hat must be full of mercury. You’re sick

        This is what you get when you never leave your echo chambers. Absolutely fucking retards strutting around thinking they have a fucking clue when they’re horrifically misinformed.

        I’m sick? Blue hat?

        At this point it’s clear you’re just intentionally being provocative and contrarian.

        If you had a specific case to point out, such as that one, you could have just done that, instead of whatever the fuck this is.

        I still don’t know the case you are referring to, which could have been a great moment to educate and inform others, instead you spent the opportunity attacking and calling me sick, for what? You boggle me. Makes no sense.
