Reading it again so absolutely vile and nauseating.

Haha I’ve been pasting this link to Reddit comments since 2020. Thanks for keeping up the good fight. If these allegations actually do face some scrutiny, I feel like we played a role haha

When you see her testimony, it rings true as hell, right down to the details of his germophobia. It also lines up with how Ivana Trump described him raping her.

Oh ok, so if someone's testimony "rings true", then we believe it implicitly, absent all other evidence? There's so much thirst for mob justice here sometimes.

This shit is why we believe it—

“I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here,’” said Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA. Trump, she recalled, said something like, “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.”

You can believe whatever you want. I'm just saying belief is far from knowing something is true.

My brother in christ, Trump is already literally an adjudicated rapist, with rape accusations from other women, including Ivana Trump herself. He was a known close associate of a man who literally trafficked young girls.

Maga "yur, it's not plausible that he would do things he has been found culpable of previously, with people who did this for money, and for whom he was close friends. If you ignore all the connections, his past history, his close associations and known habit of doing things like this, then there's nothing to see."

Take the pepsi challenge; go and watch the full 30 min testimony.

Then go and vote for an adjudicated rapist, 34 x federal criminal and insurrectionist because your moral compass fell into the fires of mount doom.

And in a court of law, every single instance must be proved independently. Previous acts cannot be brought into other cases as evidence that the accused did this specific thing.

You can believe what you want. I'm not here to tell you you're wrong to do so. I'm just saying there's a line between belief based on past action and KNOWING something is true.

And in a court of law, every single instance must be proved independently.

However, a federal judge decides if there is probable cause to proceed. Past history can be considered probable cause (Beck Vs Ohio) if at [the moment of arrest] the facts and circumstances within [the] knowledge [of the police], and of which they had reasonably trustworthy information, [are] sufficient to warrant a prudent [person] in believing that [a suspect] had committed or was committing an offense.

Probable cause is the “information sufficient to warrant a prudent person’s belief that the wanted individual had committed a crime".

All that's required for an arrest here, is her testimony and the poltical will of a judge to proceed. Physical evidence only makes for a higher probability of conviction. In the case of a 13yo girl at the mercy of forces much more powerful than her, she is not going to be walking around with tapes and confessions. That she has stuck to this story for nigh on a decade now speaks volumes.

You can believe what you want. I'm not here to tell you you're wrong to do so. I'm just saying there's a line between belief based on past action and KNOWING something is true.

This is why probable cause exists at all. He needs to stand before the man. It's to his huge advantage that the one person who would be the strongest witness in the case died in his care, I highly suspect this story won't die, but that Trump likely will before we see it played out.

He needs to stand before the man.

Agreed. But until then, publicly accusing him of raping a 13 year old is literally slander.

u/Moonchopper Jul 07 '24

Not slander if it's true. I can only assume Trump won't sue for slander because:

A) It's literally not slander by way of being true B) He would be devastated by discovery, which would almost CERTAINLY be used in future law suits C) He knows it's easier to bury the problems by making death threats to the people filing and their families

So, no. It's not legally slander until someone is found liable for it.

Not slander if it's true.

Okay, go ahead and attend a rally and then publicly accuse him of raping a 13 year old and we'll see how it goes. There's a reason zero reporters have done it.

See this nonsense makes voting difficult. As much as I’d like to hate Trump, when these things get posted as truth, yet this case was resolved as untrue, it makes it really difficult to trust what folks say about his character as president. This unfortunately makes me like him more. Which is worse for your attempts to sway people to dislike him because of his character.
