Distinctions without a difference aside,
You know what seems like a distinction with a very important difference?
"Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E Jean Carroll."

They literally changed the legal code because of rape apologists since NY was one of the last states that didn't consider vaginal penetration without consent rape unless a penis was involved.
Which, after and not before you get shaeshanked in the dufrane, you can feel free to distinguish your differences.
Because of dumps vaginally penetrating someone without their consent, regardless of method, that is also legally considered rape in New York
Dumps is a rapist by most legal definitions, his crime is one of rape today because of the sexual assault he committed and was held liable for, and the judge made it perfectly clear that dumps is a rapist in case anyone was confused.
Sure, it still isn't a criminal conviction. Perhaps there was sufficient evidence for a criminal conviction and perhaps there isn't. I don't know.
One may conclude that in all likelihood he has committed such a crime. However, we cannot claim he has been convicted for such a crime, because he wasn't (in the context of that civil matter).
Innocent until proven guilty is a valuable principle and politics is a trivial reason to dispense with it.
I didn't say it was a criminal conviction, you're confused.
"we cannot claim he has been convicted for such a crime" - do not claim that. This was a civil case, not a criminal case, so when trump was found liable for rape, he was not "convicted", a legal term used to define guilt in a criminal case, not a civil case.
The likelihood of his guilt in raping Carroll in this civil case is called his "liability".
As a consequence of the evidence presented, trump was found liable of sexual assault that is defined as rape in most states, and the judge presiding over that case clarified that Trump was found liable(legal term for "responsible"), for the rape of Jean Carroll, since the only thing that differs between this sexual assault and rape was New York's antiquated legal wording that has since been updated.
Yes, this is what I said. We all agree.
You are still confused.
I appreciate your backpedal, but no we do not agree.
- You disagree with the judge and jury that dumps was found liable for rape.
I agree with the judge and jury that dumps was found liable for rape.
- Parroting part of what I said, then pretending you said it first while you equivocate rape and bash straw men is much less agreeable than you appear to think it is.
If your greatest desire is pedantry, you should try it on someone who didn't supply you with your information.
Get a life man.
Don't play make believe if you aren't ready for the real world.
You are very hostile. I'm not sure what your problem is.
There is no argument to be had here. We've both expressed the same points and we are agreeing.
Touch grass man. Life is good.
I don't appreciate your attempts at manipulation and called you out on them.
You seem upset you got caught and upset you aren't being allowed to keep making things up.
We do not agree, you're attempting to equivocate your poor conduct with my straight talk.
Not how it works. By all means, "touch grass".
Yeah man, look I'm sorry you feel that way. I wish you all the best.
No you don't, or you would engage honestly instead of trying to manipulate the conversation and imply I've written something I haven't.
"I'm sorry you feel that way" is textbook gaslighting, a quick way to use the correct apology language to end an argument without having to admit fault” (Forsythe, 2021).
-
Gaslighting is psychological abuse through verbal, written, and/or physical actions that cause the recipient to question their reality.
-
A non-apology is used to deflect, pretend to apologize, and ultimately win the disagreement by placing blame back on the individual.
-
The insensitivity of gaslighting often lies in the lack of self-awareness and self-inquiry to address control issues and avoidance of apologies.
