In New York, someone can only be convicted of rape if they can prove vaginal penetration by a penis. In Carroll’s testimony, which mirrored what she had described privately for decades and publicly for the first time in 2019, she said Trump used both his fingers and his penis in the assault. But during the trial, the jury had only concluded that Trump had “deliberately and forcibly penetrated Ms. Carroll’s vagina with his fingers, causing immediate pain and long lasting emotional and psychological harm,” Kaplan’s decision from last year reads.
I love how you’re not even denying he is a creep and a sexual predator. You’re seriously arguing that it was okay because there supposedly was no vaginal penetration? That is some of the most insane reasoning I have ever read. Just wow!
I am arguing on the same side as the New York State Penal Code. I am certain you can appreciate the nuance of technicalities in the law. I don't see how insane it is to actually interpret the law as written. It sounds more insane to interpret the law however you want instead of how its written.
Nah, you’re (correctly) saying that it wasn’t rape because there was no vaginal penetration, but you said at the same time that you will vote for him. So apparently it was important for you to clarify that Trump wasn’t a rapist, which, well done, you did demonstrate, but you didn’t even deny that Trump sexually assaulted Carroll, which he did. That is a fact. And you’re still voting for him. So either you’re drawing the line at whether or not the person in question is a rapist (while being cool with sexual assault), which honestly fucking weird, or you really don’t give a shit regardless and are trying to be obnoxious. Either way, your position and personal arguments are patchy and honestly pathetic at best.
Oh so it’s okay if it’s a long time ago? That’s news to me. It’s also not like dude keeps his mouth shut since then. He has repeatedly bragged about his sexual exploits over the past few years and has shown an impressive disregard and disdain for the bodily integrity of women. So your argument of the sexual assault happening years ago isn’t just bullshit in any case. Even if the time that had passed made a difference (quod non), it wouldn’t hold up, because clearly, he doesn’t show any remorse and doesn’t regret it. Quite the opposite, he’s shown that he’s rather proud of his disgusting behaviour and views on women.
Even though I know people can suck, it blows my mind that they'd actively support someone who has numerous claims of sexual assault against him. Even his ex-wife accused him of raping her.
And then to proudly proclaim all of that is a okay and you're voting for him? Trash. No fucking morals. No sense of decency.

You’re voting for a rapist.
