You still haven't figured out what convicted means.

My buddy, I don't give a flying shit about shitty US law technicalities. I know you're clutching that straw for your dear life, and I'm sure you'll find another, when it's time.

A person is a rapist, if he raped someone.

If you shoot someone, but don't get caught, you're still a murderer.

That's about enough arguing I can take with a person who does some incredible mental gymnastics in attempt to defend a rapist.

I'm not your buddy. Losing a civil trial is far, far different than what was initially claimed. You don't even understand the difference between defending and trying to get the facts somewhat straight.

I haven't claimed Trump is a "convicted rapist".
I've claimed that he is a rapist, sans US-specific law jargon.

You probably think the Sun revolves around the US?

Don't join conversations if you don't know what they're about, trying to prove a point about something else then.

[–] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don't tell me what to do, I won't tell you where to go. If I see a person defending a rapist, I'll join the conversation if I want to.

You might want to figure out what is actually going on if you don't want to seem like an confused and oblivious half wit. Saves people telling you what to do too.

Oh, the irony. "an confused halfwit". Dunning–Kruger intensifies. You might want to shut the fuck up forever then, if you don't want people to know your secret.

~~Since you're such an avid rapist defender, I'm going to have to block you~~. On second though, your replies are so dumb, it's actually entertaining. I know you're likely a troll, but hey, fun is fun.

Let's hope such things, that Trump was accused of, and convicted, never happen to you or your family.
