Beaker, this is you waiting for that retraction and apology: 


Trump is a rapist. He's a felon. He owes $500+ million. His incompetence helped kill 400,000 more people from Covid than would have died if his administration done its job. There's good evidence that he sexually molested children. 

What are you rotting for here, Beaker? More corruption? The death of democracy? It can't be Trump because he's one of the most awful human beings alive. 

I''m sorry you're taking your troll job so personally. Maybe you should apologize to yourself during a quiet moment alone.

Katie Johnson withdrew her lawsuit because she and her family were receiving death threats. 

Read the available documents from the case. Katie Johnson stated that Trump had sexual encounters with her on four different occasions while she was 13. She also stated that Trump and Jeffery Epstein knew she was 13 when they had sexual encounters with her and another underage girl. 

The testimony is quite compelling.

If you choose to disregard Katie Johnson, you can spin some wild babble about E. Jean Carroll and Ivana Trump. Both women reported that Trump raped them. Do you deny it? 

Two juries believed E. Jean in courts of law after testimony, cross-examination and presentation of evidence. 

Ivana Trump wrote a published book in which she recounted Trump's rape of her. Trump did not sue for defamation of character. 

We could also talk about the 25+ women who've stated that Trump raped, sexually assaulted and/or harassed them. 


But you want to huff and puff instead. 

Who should I apologize to, Beaker? Der Drumpfer? You, his chatbot shill? 

Your life must really be awful if you have to defend a rapist, felon, compulsive liar, and demented narcissist who owes over $500 MILLION in civil compensation. Maybe you do it for free. That would be incredibly pathetic.

If you want to give Kurt a mulligan, you could call Trump as a "soon-to-be convicted felon" until Merchan sentences him in September. 

But he's still a felon.

It is not semantics.  It is a yes or no question.

Here's some more info to go with the other article.  I had to go to Bing to find these.  I went through about 5 google pages, found nothing and gave up.  Bing had these on the first page.

allow me to point to the relevant string of words:

Did you really say Steeler's afraid to get into a semantics argument with you? I mean, who wouldn't be, because you will just give him a water-torture stream of nonsense until he throws in the towel.

Fixed yer post. 

What, are you upset that I brought up the fact that Trump is a felon and adjudicated rapist? Or that there's strong evidence that he was sexually involved with at least one underage girl? 

Or maybe there's another innocent reason that Trump regularly called Jeffrey Epstein—even at 5 am—for massage appointments. Do tell. 

As for Katie Johnson...I guess she doesn't count for you. Because Trump.

From you link.  

A conviction is an adjudication of a criminal defendant’s guilt

The adjudication part is when the judge makes their final determination ... which has not happened and to paraphrase the judge (cuz I'm not going to spend time looking for the actual quote), may not happen ...

Here is the support for my remarks about convictions

Lawyer — President Trump is not actually a convicted felon. Media outlets should be careful.
I spent a fair amount of time researching the meaning of adjudication regarding the Trump case where he was adjudicated a rapist by the judge, in conflict with the jury's finding of sexual abuse in the case.  The judge inserted his opinion, not fact in making his finding.  That is a very important distinction which everyone (who posts on the subject) ignores.  They want to call him a convicted rapist.

Jury finds Trump liable for sexual abuse, awards accuser $5M



The State of New York defines Conviction as "Conviction - When the court enters a plea of guilty or a finding of guilt by a jury or the Court."

Maybe you could say "he's a pre-sentencing felon!"

As for Trump raping E. Jean Carroll—I guess you're saying "he only raped her a little!"

We can also add that there's strong evidence that Trump is a pedophile. Perhaps we'll just stick with "suspected pedophile" for now.

No, we all already know he's a convicted felon. No lust needed.
 
It's your recent feeble attempt to try and state otherwise that is at issue here. I went back and saw that it wasn't you who originally posted what you are trying to pass off as "proof"... but until it was posted... you weren't trying to argue otherwise. Sorry but what you're throwing up against the wall... ain't stickin'.

Wait, your unequivocal support for your position is a statement by Trump's lawyer. Well, that seals it then! No bias in that source.
