The lawsuit accusing Trump of raping a 13-year-old girl, explained
The anonymous plaintiff dropped her lawsuit against Trump, the circumstances around which have been bizarre.
Johnson claimed that Trump violently raped her when she was 13 at a 1994 orgy hosted by Jeffrey Epstein — the billionaire who was convicted in 2008 of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution and has been accused of having sex with more than 30 underage girls.
Johnson said Trump had sexual contact with her at four of those parties, including tying her to a bed and violently raping her in a “savage sexual attack.” The lawsuit said Johnson “loudly pleaded” with Trump to stop, but that he responded by “violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted.”
You're viewing a single thread.
Trump is a pedo with several decades of documented creepy behavior.
There. "Explained."
Yet, here we are, with the potential of him to be the next president of the country (again). :/
I think you mean the next king of your failed democracy.
and the first king in the idiomonarchy.
democracy
Never was one. Kinda exactly what led us here.
I'm not from the US but even that kinda offended me. To say that there has never been democracy in the US, clearly judged by your very narrow view of history is incredibly ignorant.
How old are you?
If you really want to get into it, there was a great paper showing that by definition we're much closer to an oligarchy, than a democracy or republic.
The US has always been a representative republic. For much of that time, it was representative of only a fraction of a fraction of the whole population.
how old are you?
"Uh... uh... eyes dart to the side 21 gulps.
That's an ignorant, illiterate and pedantic puerile answer.
That whole "republic" bullshit is....bullshit.
The USA, as of today, is a FAILED democracy.
What point in history would you pin as American government being representative of it's population. It was failed from the start.
That’s an ignorant, illiterate and pedantic puerile answer.
Baby's first thesaurus?
That whole “republic” bullshit is…bullshit.
The USA, as of today, is a FAILED democracy.
An argument I'm sure you'll support in your next replies.
Sorry for your loss.
Saying that the US isn’t a democracy because it’s a representative republic is like saying a shape isn’t a rectangle because it’s a square.
We aren’t a direct democracy. But in a representative republic power still stems from the people voting (ostensibly). Demoi (δῆμοι) meaning “peoples” and kratos (κράτος) meaning “power,” we get “democracy.” Power from the people.
Democracies will most likely always have flaws, I think it makes more sense to compare it to other systems in the same historical context than to apply a current vision of what a democracy should be.
And how are those representatives chosen, perhaps in some elections like in, I dunno, a representative democracy
While technically true, and for more reasons than you displayed knowledge of in the comments below (e.g., we really seem more of a "plutocracy", where regardless of which side gets elected, the wealthy get their way outside of the legal system), it is also besides the point. We used to have more elements of democratic choices, like we were at least on the spectrum. Until Monday at least...
The US system is a representative democracy. How well that system works is another matter.
Pedantry got you here.
He should probably withdraw
He should be thrown in prison and not even given the freedom to withdraw. He should be forcefully taken out, legally but violently.
Something something defend something enemies both foreign and domestic...
Didn't you hear? The president of the United States, who takes that same oath, exact same that any other military service member and elected official takes, is not actually bound by that oath, and can do whatever crimes they want so long as it's a Republican president and the shriveled sack of justice, the SCrOTUS, says it's official duties of the office!
What a time to be alive...
I told a trump cultist about the creepy things he said about his daughter. Guy said it's ok, he made a mistake and God had forgiven him.
Think of the children, though. Those books are really dangerous.
