The far-right House Republican exposed herself to social media mockery in urging Fulton County DA Fani Willis to go after rapists.

But to many observers on social media, that’s exactly what the Fulton County district attorney was doing.

Writer E. Jean Carroll accused Trump of raping her in a Manhattan department store in a lawsuit, and a jury found him liable for sexual abuse. A judge this month rejected Trump’s defamation counterclaim, saying Carroll’s insistence in a post-verdict TV interview that Trump raped her was “substantially true.”

“Mr. Trump did in fact ’rape’ Ms. Carroll as that term commonly is used and understood in contacts outside of the New York Penal Law,” Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote in tossing Trump’s suit.

      Sometimes people who ask for sources just want more details. This looks like one of those times.

        I’m fine with people wanting more information. That’s a good thing! But everyone should find that information themselves. I’m some random person on the internet, and that’s how I approach every claim I read from others. We live in the information age, and if you are reading this and posting things in lemmy/reddit/Facebook/Twitter /etc you have all the resources needed to find peer reviewed studies and articles. Every adult individual needs to be their own researcher of knowledge. Ultimately it wouldn’t matter what source I provide if you are not willing to read up on several other studies that cover phycology, economics, history, politics, and so much more. All together they help create my opinion that “White Collar Crime” undermines democracy, weakens capitalism, and leads to blue collar crime.

          Or you could provide a link so we could evaluate your sources and understand how you came to your conclusions. The issue is the “dO yeR own ResEArcH” crowd generally doesn’t know how to research properly and they happened to find a random article that supports their point of view.

          So instead of linking something reputable you’re opting to give personal opinions?

      What’s the point of making claims of you don’t intend on trying to make people believe them? Sometimes we want sources so we can have real numbers and details that we can reference.
