had committed rape and the judge said it did? That would be a fun discovery, though. The women would be lined up for blocks to testify.

was that she never mentioned FOTUS' name at all. She only referred to the elected rapist. MAGAts in their infinite lack of wisdom made the assumption. And, you know what they say about assumptions. What a bunch of maroons.

He rapes women. He rapes girls. He rapes contractors who work for him. And he's raping our country. His MO is to take what he wants in life with permission or compensation.

...make him believe he's not only smart and sane but enjoys divine providence.

Imagine--if you will--someone that prays to a non-existent god that they believe not only exists but holds the power of punishment over them. They do a bad thing and pray for forgiveness--and nothing happens. They do something a little worse and pray for forgiveness--and again, nothing happens. Because of their belief in said god they come to believe that all of their bad actions are actually approved of by the non-existent deity.

There is nothing more dangerous than someone convinced that all of the bad things they do are actually good....

22. FBI definition of rape
Wed Jul 16, 2025, 07:39 PM
Jul 16

He really needs to read this:

Definition
In 2013, the FBI UCR Program began collecting rape data under a revised definition within the Summary Reporting System. Previously, offense data for forcible rape were collected under the legacy UCR definition: the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will. Beginning with the 2013 data year, the term “forcible” was removed from the offense title, and the definition was changed. The revised UCR definition of rape is: penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim. Attempts or assaults to commit rape are also included in the statistics presented here; however, statutory rape and incest are excluded.

32. The difference is that Stephanolpolous said Trump had been found liable for rape.
Thu Jul 17, 2025, 02:10 PM
Jul 17

While Judge Kaplan indicated that the Trump's conduct met the common understanding of rape, as a legal matter, the jury only found Trump liable for sexual abuse and sexual battery and expressly conceded that Carroll had not proven that Trump raped her as that term was defined in applicable NY law at the time of the assault. AOC didn't say he was found liable for rape or described him as an adjudicated rapist, so her statement would be much more difficult for Trump to use as the basis for a defamation claim.
