How is he not a troll, though?
There are many more examples. Everything I read from him is along those lines and full of insults and swearing.
What's the point in keeping belligerent trolls here if I may ask? For entertainment value?
WTF?
Last I saw, Trump had his base of 30% and thats it.
While it's still too early to take polls seriously, the fact that Biden is currently neck and neck with Trump in general election polls shows that he does in fact stand a chance of winning. The absolute biggest mistake Democrats can make in 2024 is the one they made in 2016: that the Democrat winning the election is a foregone conclusion. The absolute certainty of Trump being unelectable is what made him electable.
I'm sorry.... What? Neck and neck?
Trump 55, DeSantis 17, Pence 6, Haley 4, Ramaswamy 4, T. Scott 2, Elder 1, Christie 0, Hutchinson 1, Sununu 0
But, he's not just saying "the system is insane", he said it was a "modern day Salem witch trial".
Now, I'm hopeless at history but witch trials are, in general, a byword for women being convicted just because someone accused them of something ("she turned me in to a newt!") with very little evidence. That absolutely isn't what has happened here and it isn't how the system works.
You can't just rock up to court, say Trump did a thing and collect your cheque.
You have to provide a level of evidence such that a jury will believe you.
You have to, for example, evidence that you've met Trump. And done so in a context where he had an opportunity to do what you claimed. It helps if you have some witnesses who can corroborate - in this case she had 2, one who said Trump did a similar thing to her, the other who received a phonecall from the lady in question right after the incident and testified to how distressed she was. So this isn't her just saying he did a thing, the jury saying "well, Trump is a piece of shit so yeah, he probably did". She provided a level of evidence high enough that the jury believed her.
If you did just rock up to court making false allegations and it was clear you'd never even met Trump then surely he'd be able to counter-sue you for libel or defamation and you'd be taken to the cleaners. While we are here - Trump basically convicted himself in this trial. If he'd just shut his trap then he'd never have faced criminal chances. So he can fuck the fuck off.
If the jury believes you, then yes. That's how it works.
I'm shocked.
Defermation has a high bar. As I understand it, defermation requires you to prove the defendant intentionally tried to damage the person's character with statements that are either untrue, or have no business being stated even if factual.
So like, if I say you're gay in an attempt to destroy your career, it doesn't matter if you are gay or not, just that I wanted to destroy your career.
I'm not verse on what Trump said about her but if he decides to hold a press conference and state how ugly she is, that might count.
If you are referring to the "grab em by the pussy" clip, that's not saying he sexually assaulted women. "They let you do it" can easily be interpreted as consent. Is there some other clip I'm unaware of?
In the same clip, he also says "I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait," which is more or less describing sexual assault. Now, his infamous "Grab 'em by the pussy" line was immediately preceded by him saying, "When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything." I had a discussion a few years ago with someone here who argued that this was Trump closing the subject of his approaching and kissing women and beginning the entirely new subject of how when someone is a star, women let them do "it" - "it" then being clarified as "Grab 'em by the pussy" - which is all discussed in entirely hypothetical terms, and therefore we shouldn't interpret the "Grab 'em by the pussy" line as being a continuation of the subject of how he approaches and kisses women without asking. There's no way to prove what it was that Trump really meant, but I'm pretty sure that most reasonable people would interpret "Grab 'em by the pussy" to be meant in the same spirit as approaching and kissing women without asking rather than the entirely new subject of how he hypothetically could grope women without their consent, but doesn't.
I mean, to be fair about the idea of people calling him a rapist, he's literally been recorded saying that he's sexually assaulted women.
So I have never used an IRC chat before so I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing so I'll just post images here.
What do I, uh, do?
Tom, do "fishgender" people have the backing of the scientific community?
If it did, would that affect your personal opinion of "fishgender"?
What's your purpose in asking this question?
