So I just discovered that I have been working next to the waste of oxygen that raped my best friend several years ago. I work in a manufacturing environment and I know that you can’t fire someone just for being a sex offender unless it directly interferes with work duties (in the US). But despite it being a primarily male workforce he does work with several women who have no idea what he is. He literally followed a woman home, broke into her house, and raped her. Him working here puts every female employee at risk. How is that not an unsafe working environment? How is it at even legal to employ him anywhere where he will have contact with women?

              Yes we do. He raped her. He is a rapist. OJ is a killer and trump is a rapist. Escaping justice does not mean you didn’t do it.

                    THIS.

                    All the rest of this conversation is pedantic nonsense (on both sides, I might add).

                    It’s like if the law decided that only fire brick red as defined by this website is red : https://html-color.codes/red

                    And then someone on lemmy said “the court said your car isn’t red”. And then we’d have to spend a half hour and an incredibly long post to explain how courts sometimes use different definitions for words that people use in normal conversation, and to be careful how you interpret that.

                    Bottom line is Trump did what everyone else is calling rape.

                  That is false. Again. You keep saying the same thing and you keep being wrong. Not proving he’s a rapist does not means he not one. Please go back you school you complete dunce.

          The Court was required to use softer language because the violent sex crime he committed and is unapologetic about was committed in the 90s.

          There’s a statue of limitations that prevents him from being criminally charged. But as part of a defamation case a jury found that there was sufficient evidence to determine that Trump knowingly and intentionally lied when he said he didn’t rape her.

          Which is to say - a jury unanimously ruled that he committed the act that would be would otherwise be called rape, but because of a legal technicality can’t be. Not everyone on that Jury was a liberal, woke Democrat. There were Republicans that heard testimony and saw evidence and determined that he forced a woman to have sex against her will.

          He did it. The he got successfully sued again for lying about it more and lashing out against his victim.

          In every way that matters when evaluating someone’s character, he’s an unrepentant, vengeful rapist.
