      Nope, just of sexual abuse. Which is, like…. Come on New York what’s the fucking difference here? Especially when you hear the story of what happened. I don’t understand how they talked the court down from rape to sexual abuse.

          My understanding is that she wasn’t able to say with 100% certainty that he put his penis inside her; that it could have been his finger.

          Which I’m sure is something his lawyers push but is still a pretty sick burn to have on-record, and actually lines up with what his other victims say.

        No, it’s because the finding was made in civil court, not criminal court, therefore not convicted.

            A conviction leads to sentencing (normally) in a criminal matter. A cival court is settling a cival matter, not a criminal one. Criminal courts convict you of a crime and sentence you to some kind of punishment. Cival courts can make you pay a fine, but not convict you of a crime.

              Again, another argument of semantics.

              Would change nothing for me, maybe for yourself, to say Donald Trump was found liable of sexual assault by a judge and jury in the court of law.

              Edit:

              You keep obfuscating, though.

    It’s almost impossible to imagine a picture of Trump that’s worse than the real thing.
