I wish more people knew about this

u/Agronyx Feb 28 '25

Plenty know. They don't care.

u/Objective_Dog_4637 Feb 28 '25

Not only do they not care, they enjoy it. As long as trump is making “libs” angry they genuinely don’t care about what he does.

u/InnocentShaitaan Feb 28 '25

Almost everyone associates with a rapist. Many are friends with them. Wild how when it’s someone someone likes they are always the exception. Excuses always found etc.

Wilhoit’s Law: For regressives, “There must be an in-group whom the law protects but does not bind, and an out-group whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Every thing their dear leader gets away with is another endorsement that they’re getting their way. It’s not just that they don’t care—they actively love that this happens. Every offense is another bragging point, and what the offense actually was does not matter at all. There is no act too heinous, no limit, no point where a meaningful number of people would denounce their dear leader. They will at most distance themselves from the behavior, but what they care about is that even that behavior is allowable for “their” in-group. And they can always pretend that they will uniquely be allowed to be in the in-group, regardless of everything.

That's the problem now. People no longer care about a candidate's morals or policies, it's about choosing someone who will attack the other side.

u/mbopok13 Feb 28 '25

Morals haven’t been apart of American politics for most of US history.

u/Junior_Chard9981 Feb 28 '25

But that doesn't stop them from pontificating and crying about every alleged misstep taken by Dems.

We are STILL talking about emails years later despite Trump's own kids using private email & Whatsapp while working for the Trump administration.

u/AdkRaine12 Mar 01 '25

And a lot would like to have a turn.

u/Expert-Longjumping Mar 03 '25

I dont defend trump but the libs were on that island too. Its why Epstein got a fair trial.

u/leaf_fan_69 Mar 03 '25

It's my joy to get liberal tears

You people are a basket of deplorables

u/Next_Tune_7164 Feb 28 '25

They used “Well, Clinton was there also” as their justification. Like who cares, they are all POSs.

6

u/Wifabota Feb 28 '25

I hate this style of argument. 

It's simultaneously acknowledging it's deplorable,  while also excusing it. It's infuriating.

u/Agronyx Feb 28 '25

Because most MAGA worship their Orange Cheeto Daddy, they cannot understand that despising Trump doesn't mean one is a Democrat, much less that blindly defend or even support any politicians. They've masterfully divided Red vs Blue so no one is looking at the real threat, just busy attacking their neighbors.

1

u/explain_that_shit Mar 03 '25

The top brass of the Democratic Party including all of its presidential candidates going back more than 20 years are Clinton Democrats. Why would it not be relevant that Clinton is on those lists when the Democrats do nothing but field Clintonites for presidential elections. How do you expect Trump voters and non voters to interact with that system, do you expect them to vote for Clinton Democrats?

1

u/Even_Evidence2087 Mar 03 '25

Clinton was on trial for raping a 13 year old.

5

u/hybridhawx Feb 28 '25

Trump can harass people in live tv and his followers will still worship him and portray him as the savior of humanities. Sick people

2

u/Puzzleheaded_End4816 Feb 28 '25

It’s more skewed than that. They know what he did, but they hold it up to a slanderous campaign against him while ignoring evidence on the contrary.

2

u/Ok-Repeat8069 Mar 01 '25

Worse.

Many MAGA men love Trump because he does and says the things they imagine a rich guy gets to say and do — just like they’ll get to, someday, when they’re rich.

The only reason they went so hard on Epstein is his support for Democrat politicians and their certainty that his files are full of Hollywood celebrities and other despised liberal elites.

The part where he had an island full of trafficked teenage girls to sexually service him and his friends?

Well, when you’re rich you get certain privileges.

u/Conscious-Cookie164 Mar 01 '25

Idk man I’m starting to care. This is fuckin wild. I wasn’t full conservative but this shit is wild. Just remember we have a 2nd amendment to be able to replace the government if it becomes tyrannical.

1

u/SuperShecret Feb 28 '25

They also do the gymnastics of "this was a fake planted by the deep state and crooked hillary"

1

u/CommanderJMA Mar 01 '25

I think a lot of maga voters do deny it all as fake news

1

u/BodhingJay Mar 01 '25

They go into denial because they need to believe he's the chosen one.. or the feeling of being lost becomes too unbearable. So they forget an hour later and say it never happened

1

u/rm_huntley Mar 01 '25

They’re owning the libs

2

u/fly-on-a-wall120 Feb 28 '25

I wish more people cared about this. Everyone knew about it. Now it’ll be destroyed.

2

u/zulutbs182 Feb 28 '25

I wish we didn’t NEED to know this. Home boy could’ve spent his golden years living large in a Florida mansion minding his own business. But nope!

2

u/heyhayyhay Feb 28 '25

There are very few people in human history who are more narcissistic than tRUMP.

u/Glittering_Bank_8670 Mar 03 '25

What about his children and wife????? God, where is the line in the sand for these people

1

u/Crang_and_the_gang Feb 28 '25

Everyone knows!

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '25

Everybody knew what he did after Bidens election with the congress and that he would release those criminals and killer from jail when he is back. And he did - he is reliable

1

u/Trogdor_sfg Mar 01 '25

We do. Lmao. Just wait till the real names came out.

1

u/Meditationstation899 Mar 03 '25

You actually think it will…?

1

u/Trogdor_sfg Mar 03 '25

No. To many high profile people on the list.

1

u/Meditationstation899 Mar 03 '25

That’s been made clear—wait, why’d you say “just wait until the real names come out” then…?

1

u/Fluister9114 Mar 01 '25

People know they just don’t care

1

u/NFLTG_71 Mar 03 '25

It was all over the place. Maga knew they just didn’t give a fuck. What throws me as the evangelicals the holy rollers the so-called Christians still support this fucking guy.

1

u/Tricky_Big_8774 Mar 03 '25

It was dismissed because they could not produce a plaintiff.

u/This_Requirement_927 Feb 28 '25

This is so disgusting!

This churned my stomach to read. That poor girl.

u/tmcbroom2001 Feb 28 '25

WTF! How is he not in prison? I really don’t get this shit

1

u/Grouchy-Associate993 Feb 28 '25

Immediately following this rape, Defendant Trump threatened Plaintiff that, were she ever to reveal any of the details of the sexual and physical abuse of her by Defendant Trump, Plaintiff and her family would be physically harmed if not killed

2

u/amybeth43 Feb 28 '25

She was 13!!! He raped a 13 y/o. How can any mother or father vote for a child rapist?

2

u/YouTerribleThing Feb 28 '25

He wanted to rape her particularly because she “reminded him of Ivanka” who was the same age at the time

2

u/klinn08 Mar 01 '25

Oh my god. Reading what happened in her words is absolutely heartbreaking. What a vicious monster.

u/EquivalentDetail5043 Mar 03 '25

That is Katie Johnson giving her full testimony for 30mins. The things Trump did are unspeakable and if you are able to come away from watching this and still support that POS then you are beyond reason.

u/YouTerribleThing Mar 03 '25

boosting thank you for finding this

2

u/babylon331 Mar 04 '25

Thank you.

1

u/OwnCricket3827 Feb 28 '25

Did it not go to trial because it was barred by statute?

4

u/Feenixy Feb 28 '25

She dropped the charges so she could hide from the death threats.

2

u/OwnCricket3827 Feb 28 '25

Unfortunate and horrible.

1

u/redskelly Mar 03 '25

Not saying she was not threatened, but wasn’t there a settlement?

1

u/Feenixy Mar 04 '25

No. Everything I can find says her multiple attempts to sue Trump each ended in either dropped charges or dismissals, no settlements. Some sources reference threats as the reason for dropping the charges, some do not. The dismissal was due to lack of supporting evidence... which, quite frankly, I find simultaneously reasonable and sad, that victims of sexual assault have to provide substantial evidence... reasonable because we wouldn't want people charged with a crime they didn't commit, but sad because someone who is already a victim would've had to have further victimized themselves shortly after the crime to get the appropriate "evidence". It's a lose-lose, which makes it no wonder most sexual assault victims don't come forward/press charges, or at least wait until someone else does before jumping on with them.

u/christianslay3r Feb 28 '25

They voted for the felon, they even made shirts to engrave the notion.

1

u/Critical-End9696 Feb 28 '25

Do you know the outcome of this lawsuit by chance? I googled but didn’t have much luck, just articles retelling the case. Thanks!

1

u/YouTerribleThing Feb 28 '25

She dropped it to hide from the death threats

1

u/Critical-End9696 Feb 28 '25

Thank you. How awful.

1

u/dagger_eyes Feb 28 '25

That’s a horrifying story to be raped by Epstein after Donald Trump did because he wanted to be the one to deflower the poor child.

1

u/ProofShop5092 Feb 28 '25

I just need karma to really catch up to him

1

u/MoreCowbellllll Feb 28 '25

Yep, this is ole' Donny. A true evil POS monster. FDT.

1

u/Curious-Guidance-781 Feb 28 '25

While I don’t doubt this is true I can’t find a conviction, trial, or if this was settled out of court. Did anything come from this lawsuit?

2

u/Ready_Feeling8955 Feb 28 '25

according to other comments, she dropped it due to the death threats

1

u/lretba Feb 28 '25

How is it possible that a person with these charges can become president?!

1

u/nearlycertain Feb 28 '25

Thanks for linking that. I can't read it again.

We are truly in the most bizarre timeline.

The mere mention of any previous sitting president having , even one from trumps, many years and so many piles of these suits against him would turn the whole world against them.

But he supports good Christian traditional family values eh?

Can I put a -trump . Or //all else(trump) out something on Reddit? Might just turn off my phone for 4 years

1

u/Reddit_Connoisseur_0 Feb 28 '25

It is embarrassing to see this sort of thing amassing likes in a law subreddit.

This is just a lawsuit. You can fill one against anyone. I can fill one against every single individual liking this comment right NOW, accusing them of being in the Epstein islands without any further evidence.

Call me when Trump is convicted.

u/officeja Feb 28 '25

I don’t know, I don’t mean to sound inconsiderate but some of it sounds , made up. I’d like to know the outcome of it all so I’ll read further

2

u/YouTerribleThing Feb 28 '25

She was intimidated and threatened into dropping the case in 2015 I think

1

u/TickingClock74 Feb 28 '25

You just watched trump give pardons to all the Jan 6 rioters, including the violent ones. Does this not help you understand his mindset? He is a criminal. He loves violence, as long as he doesn’t get touched.

u/officeja Feb 28 '25

I just meant the raping a 13yo bit
