Trump's Teen Rape Allegation resurfaces...

GreatNews2night said:
That's disingenuous. Obama was never accused of rape; not even close. You're throwing his name there for good measure, but everybody knows that Obama's integrity is way above Trump's lack thereof.

You claim Obama has never raped because his accuser has not yet come forward like Kavanaugh's did after 30 years.

That's ridiculous. Obama isn't that kind of person.

1. Freedom of speech is nice and dandy.

2. But there should be reasonable limits.

3. To accuse someone of "raping" a 13-year-old without any corroborating evidence is beyond the pale.


4. Many a boy or man has had his life destroyed by such false accusations.

5. In today's toxic atmosphere, there are individuals who are willing to say anything in order to claim financial compensation or to have the proverbial 15 minutes of fame or even to sell one's latest book.

Ah yes, how dare they accuse Der Leader?

Did Trump rape? Did Bill Clinton rape? Did Kavanaugh rape? Did Dr. Ford rape? Did Elijah Cummings rape? Did JFK rape? Did Obama rape? Who knows?

But let's ask ourselves, 'How much time and money should we invest in researching every claim that surfaces from events dating back 3/4ths of a century?'

Jane Doe said Trump did rape. So, there’s that.

Uh, what?

So your 13 year old daughter was raped and she came to you and told you that she was raped and because there were no witnesses and such you think that you, as a parent, should not accuse the man who raped her?

What kind of parent are you? Do you not stand up for and protect your own children?

Damn. That's sick.

Corroborating evidence does not require a witness. Even when a rapist uses a condom, foreign DNA can be harvested from the victim's pubic region. One reason why a rape kit should be used within 24 hours. In the absence of that ability, other determinates can be used to build a case. In one recent case, traces of a hair growth cream for balding men used by the rapist found on the clothing of the victim was enough corroborating evidence to convince the jury. A 14 year old girl with a full head of hair has no need for hair growth stimulants. In another case the victim was able to describe an ingrown hair infection on the rapists upper left thigh. The tattoo fashion has also led to corroborating evidence as victims identified their rapist by unique tattoos in areas of the body not usually exposed. Even the most careful of criminals will do something careless which police can use to provide evidence for prosecutors.

Do you think O.J. Simpson murdered two people?

No. I believe his older son did the crime, and OJ covered for him. Apparently, so do the LA police which has an open warrant for the son, who has disappeared.

We have 19 women accusing of sexual misconduct, misconduct similar to what we have on tape he bragged about, both on the Access Hollywood tape and again on Howard Stern, where the accusers accuse him of the very things he had bragged about


I should say the odds of those accusations by that many women of a sitting president, a president who is notorious for bullying anyone who challenges him, who threatens them with lawsuits, disparages them on a national TV with the full weight of the presidency, noting that a number of these women are republicans , I should say those women wouldn't put themselves though that kind of ringer unless they were motivated by justice, integrity, and for fear if they didn't say something, the president might do it to other women, and they no choice but to inform the public on just what kind of person this president is --- I should say these women are of high moral character that they's risk all of this in order to exact justice, because it's the right thing to do.

One or two women, you might have a point, but 19?

But, apparently the obvious is oblivious to you.

In 1982 36 young women in the French town of Claremont accused Marie d'Essenaux of witchcraft. Two weeks later Marie was found drowned, her body hanging from a tree. No problem, 36 accusers. Marie had been a midwife who delivered at least half of her accusers. Her brother and two cousins were convicted for her murder.

19 accusers, 36 accusers, just numbers.

All too often it is what some want to believe, not what is true.

Translation-you will believe any accusations against Trump, no matter how specious or how unsupported. Why do all these alleged assaults come to light now? Sounds like BS to me. Its like the idiots who claim Kavanaugh abused them but they were unable to remember those things until he was about to be seated on the Supreme Court.

One 50 year old little girl who accused Kavanaugh 30 years after the alleged event made more than $500,000 for her accusation from people willing to support the paid story teller for her work of fiction.

Many who accused or represented some kind of threat to Bill and Hillary in the 1990s ended up dead.
One of the most dangerous positions to be in during those heady days was to be first associated with the Clintons and then fall out of favor.

Paula Jones was able to describe Clinton's bent thingy and it cost him more than $800 grand to put that charge to bed.

I don't know about that. He seems like the kind of arrogant fellow who may very well have been a bully in his younger years, not to forget that he tended to drink excessively.
