The lawsuit accusing Trump of raping a 13-year-old girl, explained
vox.com

Johnson claimed that Trump violently raped her when she was 13 at a 1994 orgy hosted by Jeffrey Epstein — the billionaire who was convicted in 2008 of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution and has been accused of having sex with more than 30 underage girls.

Johnson said Trump had sexual contact with her at four of those parties, including tying her to a bed and violently raping her in a “savage sexual attack.” The lawsuit said Johnson “loudly pleaded” with Trump to stop, but that he responded by “violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted.”

Did you even read what I said? I agree with you there. But technically, and I'm only bringing this up because you the original commenter* originally did, it is an accusation.

*Edit: I thought you were the same person, but my point still stands.

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?

The former POTUS has been in thousands of court cases. He is one of the most litigious individuals of all time. His entire adult life has been in the courtroom using technicalities to avoid responsibility.

When someone defends him on a technicality that is the very definition of irony. OP was wrong to do this so they got some ridicule. Rightfully so.

The situation itself is so absurd it is at times hard to comprehend. For instance, just because it has not or cannot be proven in courtroom beyond a shadow of a doubt does not mean it didn't happen.

So OP can take their smugness about being technically correct and stick it.

Right. But the person said it wasn't an accusation because Trump lost the lawsuit. And that's something that's just wrong. It's not a technicality or even a defence to point out such an error, they were just wrong about him losing the case. Someone pointing out a big factual error shouldn't be cause for this sort of shitfit, if you ask me.
