Karl, you must be aware that he has raped many women. You surely have heard him say that he wants to be a "Dictator". (After all, a dictator won't be able to be unseated.) He has lied on his taxes and failed to pay his workers. He made three ridiculously right-wing judges appointed to the Supreme Court. They will be part of the process to tear down the regulatory state. There are so many reasons to hate Trump, but you seem to be ignoring all of them.

You are also ignoring what the democrats did to Trump which is they tried to remove an elected president from office. It matters not what you think of Trump to know that is unconstitutional. They also wanted a Biden win so they got some 50 CIA agents to say, hey, Hunter's lap top is just Russian disinformation. The democrats also turned Jan 6 into an insurrection, and if you know the definition of that word then you know how absurd that claim is, so lets call it for what it is, a riot. You seem to buy everything you read or hear that substantiates your hate of the man. Tell me did you buy the one where he hired people to go over to Russia and piss on the bed where Obama and his wife slept? Spare me your fear about the right, and be disturbed that the so called left in the democrat party no long exists. You don't have to be a Trump supporter to see what the democrats have become.

The same can sadly be applied to the so called “right” as well. The “left” wing and the “right” wing (?), are attached to the same damn bird.

Stop deflecting and pretending the crimes of the Biden administration don't exist.

I have no love of neoliberals who are most of our government, along with the scary Republicans. So, no I’m not ignoring what they do to Trump - but I think he is a psychopath, senile old man. The same can be said for Biden.

He may be an old man but not nearly as senile as trump...trumps problematic but if you prefer Biden over him that's problematic for your level of awareness and intellect..why not a real candidate?? oh right none will ever be allowed except these clowns

"he has raped many women" - is that a common knowledge? Could you share details?

Sadly , yes “russian_bot”, it is common knowledge, and can be verified many times over. However, the most prominent is that of E. Jean Carrol. The criminal statute was timed out, however (?), the Civil Court has no such limitations. When tried by a jury of his peers, Mr Trump was found to be “civilly liable” #GULITY for the molestation, assault, and rape (it was clearly defined as such); of Ms. E. Jean Carrol. He was therefore ordered to pay out 83.5 million dollars in recompense for his illegal assault, along with the pain, suffering and psychological suffering caused by the

rape.

He has also indicted, but not tried for almost 20 other assaults.

yet there was no evidence presented at the Carroll trial, she pressed no charges 30 years ago and has no witnesses or evidence of any kind. She is an obvious man hating opportunist funded by a billionaire that hates Trump.

Here you are being completely blind to the fact that the democrats and Biden have weaponized the judicial system against their political opponent and you find nothing wrong with that ?

That weaponization is fascist to its core yet you are fine it ? Why is that ?

Are you one of those 20?

I intended to be flippant. How can one prove something that happened long ago? Have you not been assaulted? Or feel like you have? Can you bring up a case right now against those assailants and claim similar rewards?

I could and I HAVE.

My case did not get the kind of publicity that Ms. Carrol’s case did. However, my case managed to convict a powerful legal and religious figure in the State of Washington and California.

They were indicted for 7 other assaults but mine was the one prosecuted successfully.

It took 10 years to build the case and verify the evidence.

The DA and AG’s offices had this person in their files for at least 30 years. It takes that long to gather evidence. The Judge ordered the case re opened within one year of the limitations ban. So yes, be as flippant as you want, if that is what you wish.

Very well!

Now, if you are consistent and honest, you should admit that same kinds of things could be brought up against Biden etc. Those on "your side", whatever that side might be. Do you agree?

They might yes, however (?), those statutes have run out many years ago. Also lacking any consistent testimonies or proof, re opening a file is all but impossible. Powerful men are like Teflon, nothing sticks to them:

Unless someone who is unassailable in testimony, and has the assistance of several coo berating witnesses, along with former accusers testimonies that have also befn verified(?), no DA ‘s office or AG’s staff would ever get involved. No such verified accounts are exist in regards to Mr Biden I’m afraid: (much as many would dearly wish there to be). However, Mr Trump , like Mr Clinton before him(?), did not bother to hide the evidence and openly bragged about his “conquests”. Both of these now former Presidents were arrogant enough to believe that the law did not apply to them and assumed incorrectly they could could “get away with it. They were wrong.

E. Jean Carroll, for one, who just was awarded $83 million . Others have not had such a big win against this monster. But if you read the stories of the many women who have complained about his misbehavior, and you consider the way women who are raped are treated on the stand, and by Mr. Trump. Many women would not make a public accusation. So, if they are, where there's smoke, there's fire.

"where there's smoke, there's fire." - sure. Has there been any smoke around you?

Anything can be said about anybody. If you were not just Jean Cushman commenting on Caitlin's forum but running for some position that mattered, you'd be accused with lots of things.

Are you familiar with Mark Twain's "Running for Governor"?

Where are the criminal charges for rape ? You just slandered a man as a rapist without evidence or conviction !

And you ignore the reasons to hate Biden, I have never seen a public figure as publicly creepy towards little girls and other mens wives as Creepy Joe Biden.

George W. Bush invaded Iraq and caused the death of half a million.. Biden, who has supported Ukraine since he was VP, has now allowed a half million Ukrainian soldiers to be killed by perpetuating US support. Tump killed about 13 people. Have you had a course in math? Half a million dead is a lot more than 13.
