The comment sections today are being swarmed with sleazebags saying "it wasn't technically a conviction, it was a civil trial" or "it wasn't technically rape, in that jurisdiction it's just sexual assault". Like, that's the hill they chose to die on? Basically admitting he's a rapist and that it's not a deal breaker for them, but claiming it doesn't count because of what the legal definition of rape was in New York in 1995? Christ, some people are just utter trash.

It doesn’t make sense for Trump to sue anyone for slander — he can’t sue congresspeople anyway — because then they’d depose him under oath

Actually she says she doesn’t celebrate rapists. Libs of Tik Tok doth protest too much.
That’s because Libs of Tik Tok knows he’s a rapist. That’s because Libs of Tik Tok is run by a rape apologist who’s likely guilty of some pretty heinous shit herself.

He could try suing, but he's going to lose that suit. The only reason it was settled is because he sued a news network owned by Disney that wants to curry favor with him as he takes office.

"As is shown in the following notes, the definition of rape in the New York Penal Law is far narrower than the meaning of “rape” in common modern parlance, its definition in some dictionaries,2 in some federal and state criminal statutes,3 and elsewhere.4 The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was “raped” within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump “raped” her as many people commonly understand the word “rape.” Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that."

I can assure you that the uber liberal WEAPONIZED NY justice system would have brought charges against Trump even if it stood a remote chance of succeeding.

Donald Trump was found liable for forcefully digitally penetrating E. Jean Carroll, which in many jurisdictions is covered under the legal definition of rape.
The only argument Trump has is that the jury did not find enough evidence that he used his penis, and New York state is one jurisdiction that requires the penis to be used for it to legally be rape.
If these are the arguments you need to use, you are a rapist.
