Self-admitted sexual abuser found guilty of sexual abuse. I see Lindsey and Rubio have already jumped to his defense. The GOP has truly become a gross political party.

Supposedly no, only judged more likely than not to have committed sexual assault. This was one breakdown of the things the jury evaluated and decided that I saw:

Trump raped Ms. Carroll: No
Sexually abused?: Yes
Was Carroll injured by Trump's false statements: Yes
Was Trump willfully negligent: Yes
Did Trump defame Carroll: Yes
Trump's statement false?: Yes
Trump make statements with malice?: Yes

This was their verdict form supposedly: https://twitter.com/frankrunyeon/sta...67405552857088

Admitted sexual abuser, leader and participant of a violent attempt to overthrow the government… Pretty sad that this despicable sack of s*** could still become POTUS again in 2024. What a time to be alive.

Really, when we're comparing an event that literally means nothing to some guy who killed two people being lauded for it, you've literally lost the plot.

pretty sure he used to be a star attorney at some point in his life, so he'll be just fine.

Technically ‘sex offender’ or not … Trump’s opponents (Dem and Rep) should absolutely latch onto that term.

“The American people don’t want a convicted sex offender as president.”

- But Sir/Madam, that was not Mr. Trump’s conviction.

“I don’t know what the correct term is for someone found guilty of sexual assault, but I do know that the American people don’t want a convicted sex offender as their president.”

Stretch the technicality without outright lying. Just keep repeating the same narrative over and over. That’s what Trump would do.

I believe a reasonable explanation is that he used "imprecise wording". "When I said I was an astronaut, what I meant is that I play for the Astros. Not!"

This is too complicated for the DNC to come up with.

I"m kind of glad Santos won. Would any of this come out if he lost?
