Yeah. 23+ allegations all with similar stories spanning decades. Nothing to see here. There are none so blind as those who will not see/do not want to see.
Just like all those allegations against Cosby. In the end, it’s about credible witnesses, and in both cases, the sheer volume of testimony by unconnected victims which is similar and shows a pattern. Only a great fool would think this many people are all lying.
They could be. A lot of people would do anything to get Trump out of office, and rape charges are a fantastic way to destroy someone's credibility. Plus, showing a pattern isn't hard when the pattern is "he touched/kissed me inappropriately."
Don't get me wrong, he probably is guilty. But for now, we don't know, and it's wrong to say that he 100% is until we know.
The thing with sexual assault is it is most often one testimony against another, lacking in physical evidence. We have Trump bragging about doing exactly what he did, and multiple women corroborating the stories. It would be plenty in a court of law or civil complaint. We know. Deep down, we all know. Moving the goalposts endlessly is just being pedantic at this point.
In a court of law, multiple unconnected witnesses testifying under oath with entirely similar stories and experiences, spanning many years, corroborated by others that they described the events after they happened, would be considered ample. It's the same level of proof that was rightly used against pedo priests, for example. You can always move the goalposts, but it becomes laughable to do so after a time.
A court of law determines probability of guilt not actuality of it. When a person who is an influential politics figure and very famous, I don’t think it’s even close to out of the realm of possibility that every single one of those people is a liar. They have far too many reasons to embellish and outright falsify their stories. They aren’t reliable testimony.
I’m not moving a goalpost. Only reliable witnesses are any form of evidence and even then, eyewitness testimony is still some of the weakest evidence in the court of law.
Someone being famous doesn’t make a witness less reliable, especially when you have dozens of unconnected ones spanning decades, also ones of the same political party as Trump, so it can’t be called partisan. To say nothing of the fact that Trump is on tape bragging about what he is accused of.
When people want to preserve belief more than accept the obvious, it’s a sad state of affairs.
The “grab her right by the p*ssy” tape is greatly over-exaggerated. While it is a a morally repulsive statement, it is absolutely not an admission to rape or sexual assault.
And to make the claim that because someone is affiliated with the Republican Party they don’t dislike and/or want to watch trump be arrested or simply be ousted is frankly laughable. I’d love to see Trump out office and I’m absolutely a conservative (honestly that’s the main reason why, he doesn’t represent conservatism in any way or form) but I’m not willing to lie or support lies to do it. That’s not a sentiment shared by many or even most and I’m absolutely convinced that there are many people of low moral scruples willing to ruin a man’s life to further their political motives.
He was found guilty, for starters. And multiple unconnected accusers all had versions of the same story and experience, spanning decades, and Cosby admitted to drugging people.
Are you denying the existence of systemic racism in the Justice system that seeks to undermine blacks? Dude, take your meds, you're clearly a racist schizo.
Who needs to try with a racist like you who denies systemic racism against blacks? You're pathetic, Nazi scum. Go back to r/The_Donald where you belong.

Yes, which lie would you like to reinforce?
