    When @evenflow and @Aenea were visiting they got a kick out of the Socialists protesting in front of the BoA in Columbia City.

    You sure they were socialists? Perhaps they were just account holders upset about the six figure speaking fees Hillary Clintoon was given.

    Did Donald Trump rape a 12 year old?

    Lawsuit claims so. If we're going to take the word of the accusers right?

    Regarding the OP, the answer is yes, but only if we use Catharine MacKinnon's definition of sexual assault. Amazing how many radical feminists there are around these days.

    If he did he's so powerful (political connections, money, enabling wife) that he'll never see the inside of a jail cell, much like Hillary never getting fired (or worst case seeing the inside of a jail cell) for her numerous security indiscretions. They got it like that!

    Bill Clinton's accusers came forward with their real names and their real stories. Donald Trump's accuser used a false name and an address that's an abandoned shack, and oh so conveniently didn't mention a thing until Hillary was getting desperate during the summer.

    Not with physical force. I'm sure he abused his political power to "encourage" women to have sex with him.

    That is not rape unless he dangles a threat against them. If they sleep with him because he has charisma and power that is their choice. Now if he held their job at risk then that is rape.

    I cannot say I am convinced he raped any of them. First off be is Bill Clinton. He is attractive, charming, rich, powerful, and taken. I do not see him having to rape women when he probably has a few who would cut off their tits to sleep with him. That does not mean he does not get off on the power thing and would rape them, but being a horndog does not make one a rapist. The second problem I have is the overwhelming efforts made by the right to damage his reputation and their willingness to lie. You couple that with the propensity for stars to have false rape allegations thrown at them and I cannot say I really trust where these accusations come from. That is not to say the women should be dismissed, but I need a bit more.

    Is it possible he did, of course. That does not mean he did it, but we know he had the power to cover up and silence victims.

    However, whether he did it or not does not taint my view of Hillary. Complaining about his presidency and his romantic I fidelity does not mean Hillary did any of that. The only reason for the right to bring any of this up is to tarnish Hillary and has nothing to do with them being worried about potential rape victims. Hillary has enough reasons to dislike without pretending she was raping women through Bill.

    I think a lot of the women wanted to have sex with him - it's the groupie mentality, and there's nothing really wrong with that and it works both ways in the sense that there's a lot of guys out there that would bang a famous chick no questions asked. That doesn't make him any less of a douche though.

    Some of his rape victims have gone into great detail about their encounters, as he was in court charged with sexual assault.

    Forcible rape is a good description of it.

    Unlike the coz there is clearly motive for the right to make shit up here. You have not given me any evidence, and your claims are most certainly not something I trust. The only people I have seen shouting about this are people who have a tendency to make things a lot worse than they are for their own narrative. I would actually find the accusations much more credible if they came from somewhere else.

    It's a matter of public record:

    A Federal judge held President Clinton in contempt of court, saying he had willfully provided false testimony under oath about sexual misconduct with Monica S. Lewinsky.

    In a unanimous decision, the supreme court ruled that "the President, like all other government officials, is subject to the same laws that apply to all other members of our society" resulting in a settlement to Paula Jones in the amount $850k.

    You do understand there is a difference between lying about consensual sex and rape, right?

    Monica Lewinsky wasn't one of the many women he raped or sexually assaulted. Her name popped up in his trial for one of the sexual assaults in which he perjured himself. He tried to explain that away by arguing about the meaning of the word "is".

    Yeah, but lots of rapists are handsome and charming, which is how they usually get away with it.

    This.

    By going public, Linda Tripp saved Monica from committing suicide by shooting herself in the back of the head several times.

    A few days after Drudge broke the story on some of Bill's affairs, a really cute White House intern shot herself in the head twice.

    Shooting yourself in the head twice is not unheard of: if you have a "split personality" the second personality hears the gunshot when the first personality shoots, is startled, then reflexively also fires a shot. Only a deplorable doesn't know this.

    Yes, shot in a Starbucks along with two employees, but nothing inside was stolen or moved. Then someone locked the Starbucks from the outside. Perpetrator still unknown. The guy they convicted confessed after 54 hours of police interrogation (which is no longer permitted) but quickly recanted.

    Why did you imply her death was ruled a suicide?

    For that matter, why would you imply the police and courts were all in on a conspiracy to cover up the murder of somene who never worked closely with President Clinton and could not have known anything of relevance to the Lewinski affair?

    If she never "worked" closely with President Clinton, why did they have her killed three days after Drudge gets a story about White House dalliances?
