Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Technically not an accusation, Trump lost the lawsuit to Jane Doe. When Trump denied the allegations and accused her of defrauding him, he got sued again for defamation.
Trump raped a 13 year old girl.
Aren't those different cases?
I'm not sure what case they mean but this particular Jane Doe doesn't seem to have won against Trump on rape allegations. First case was dismissed and second was dropped after there were death threats. Seems like there's four Jane Doe lawsuits against Trump, two about the rape, but two of them have nothing to do with that. Pretty confusing.

No. But Trump does have like 30 other allegations, so I could see why you were confused.
Sure, the guy who says his friend likes girls on the younger side and they are okay with it deserves the benefit of the doubt. Excuse me while I throw up.
This particular case is, technically, an accusation, though. Even if we're all just about certain that it's true.
Sure, I heard he totally respects women's rights. He would be never think of purposely walking in on a young girl changing.... Ohh wait
Did you even read what I said? I agree with you there. But technically, and I'm only bringing this up because you originally did, it is an accusation.
Suuuure, I am just calling bullshit on it. You are okay, even if your playing devils advocate to a rapist.
Jesus fucking Christ with you people.
For real, it gets old giving an admitted and adjudicated rapist the benefit of the doubt. Here you are though exacerbated by the cruelty of calling a spade a spade.
Apparently we can't talk shit about a piece of shit because we may hurt your sensibility.
It's amazing how relentlessly someone can misjudge the intention of messages.
It is amazing how butthurt someone can get when they perceive their message was misunderstood. Herein lies the problem, I did not misunderstand rather just introduced sarcasm and ridicule to cope with how fucked the situation is.
Ridiculous situations are deserving of ridicule. When someone takes it personally it shows they have an invested interest. I am to believe they are on my side and just clarifying a technicality.
This guy has survived his entire life on legal technicalities using this as a tool to continue raping and looting all that is around him. We are to have a civil conversation about something that is so uncivil it literally breaks the normal social contracts that exist. Instead of focusing on this we are worried about feelings being hurt.
The circle jerk you guys are building up to is rather momentous.
This situation definitely deserves ridicule but I think you've managed to do more damage yourself than I could've.
See, here we are again worried about your feelings. I guess you did help prove a point though.
Truly a baffling comment. The other person was just saying that since it wasn't proven it technically was just an accusation and you threw a shitfit about that.
I suppose the irony of using the same tactics the Rapist in Chief uses is lost on you. Please keep up the circle jerk, it is pretty amusing watching you at this point.
What is the tactic?
Justified sarcasm, but not relevant to this particular thread about technical legal language.
The situation is so perverse but we are to hold a logical detached conversation about a child rapist. Excuse me while I go throw up again.
Holy crap, I hope that's not what you think I was saying.
It is hard to tell when you are dealing with a serial rapist.
I'm not sure if there's some other Jane Doe lawsuit he lost but he didn't lose (either time) the rape accusation talked in the article. First was dismissed and second was dropped (likely because death threats).
