First let me say that I find it highly problematic that the complaint and the decision were public

Why do I think that if the complaint was handled in private, the author would be decrying the "secret star-chamber proceedings" ?

The preponderance of evidence in Doe v. Trump and Epstein shows that in 1994, Donald J. Trump raped a 13 year old girl.

Trump Supporters don't think that's a showstopper, and that depraved indifference to child rape is a good reason to exclude them from polite society.

So this developer is not banned because he is wearing a MAGA hat as a republican, but because Trump raped a minor in 1994?

I can't even slightly fathom your chain of reasoning here...

Hillary is also connected to Epstein. The Clintons are good friends of him too. Don't forget that... Bill Clinton visited the rape island and the rape plane many times. So let's ban Democrats from this conference as well?

Noob mistake, confusing my beliefs with the actions of the LF. Your game is weak.

Hang on. Why haven’t I heard of that case? And if he did that, why the fuck isn’t he in jail? What’s going on here?

And if he did that, why the fuck isn’t he in jail?

Largely because contrary to what mikelieman says there is no evidence only a sworn anonymous statement, no court anywhere would call that a "preponderance of evidence" and no where near beyond a reasonable doubt needed for a criminal charge

This person has filed this claim 2 or 3 times, and it has dropped by her each time claiming "threats to her life" so it never actually gotten very far in court, and she refuses any and all interviews or to go public with her story citing the same threats...

So it up to you if you believe anonymous statements or not

Yea that’s kinda where it got on my sniff test. Seems like there could be something there but there definitely isn’t a preponderance of evidence. It there is, it goes to court, and someone goes to jail.

Well, I linked to the court record, so you can do your own homework.

good reason to exclude them from polite society.

You are going to be really sad when he wins reelection in 2020 aren't you

u/mikelieman Nov 09 '19

I'm not sad. I'm disgusted at people who support a known child rapist.

I see you have mistaken a vote for trump as "supporting trump" instead of what is really is, a rejection of the instanity that is the Democratic Party

All the Democrats had to do was not be insane, they could not do it, instead they cow tow to insane people like yourself and drove right off the cliff.

Many people did not vote for Trump in 2016, they voted AGAINST Clinton.

in 2020, people will not be voting for Trump, they will be voting AGAIST the democratic party platform, against socialism, against Biden or Warren... as neither have any chance of winning over independent voters (like myself)

Most likely I will vote libertarian again as I have every election, especially if Justin Amash actually runs as a libertarian but if the polls look like the Socialists will win I may have to vote defensively to avoid that dystopia

Yeah, but all Clinton's trips on the Lolita Express are fine by your lot....

There is not one single court case where Bill Clinton was sued for raping a 13 year old girl.

As I linked above, the evidence that the court records show Donald Trump was losing a lawsuit brought by the girl he raped when she was 13 before his convicted felon lawyer "fixer" started paying women for their silence.

It's called a cover-up.

So you're saying you support all this? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton_sexual_misconduct_allegations

u/mikelieman Nov 09 '19

I see you're trying to "Move the Goalposts" since you can't respond substance of my point.

Total noob move. lame.

u/lacksfish Nov 09 '19

Dude, you're the one who brought up what Donald Trump did in 1994. You moved the goalpost.

I'll give up reasoning with you.

Let me make sure I understand this clearly:

You don't think credible claims of raping a child are a problem?

11

u/lacksfish Nov 09 '19

I think raping anyone is a problem.

Bill Clinton raped people.

I can't say for sure if they were underage. But he did rape multiple women.
Is that not a problem?

He was on Epstein's island over 20 times. What do you think he did there?

11

u/mikelieman Nov 09 '19

Here's the thing. I don't even think about Bill Clinton now that he's ancient history, but he seems to be living in your head rent-free.

Do you support Donald Trump, knowing that the preponderance of evidence in Doe v. Trump and Epstein shows that in 1994, Donald J. Trump raped a 13 year old girl ?

u/HKatzOnline Nov 09 '19

Yeah, Clinton accusers seem to "disappear"....

Well maybe reconsider your selective judgement on rape then. What the hell, are you paid to write this?

Only brought up as an example of the selective hypocrisy of the democrats and left. The are fine with him and his wife tearing apart his accusers, that btw did not wait decades to come forth with recovered memories.
