Always strange when Trump accuses others of hate, as if he knew what love, even love of country, really was.
The Trump themes of child rape and adult rape in the 1990s still seem like they will return again in the coming months, but go ahead and be distracted by Individual-1 diverting your attention by his shitposting racist remarks against lawmakers. Sadly we’re not yet near the tipping point.
In an interview with the Daily Beast, Carroll said that she is considering “hiring a really smart attorney” to sue Trump. “I hadn’t thought about pressing charges, but now people are convincing me that it’s smart. “If I get a really smart attorney, we might be able to get around [the statute of limitations]. I’ll be exploring it.”
In 2006, New York state got rid of its five-year statute of limitations for first-degree rape, allowing prosecutors to go back decades to pursue a case. However, the statute’s repeal does not apply to cases prior to 2006. In an interview with Mother Jones, Roger Canaff, a former sex crimes prosecutor in the Bronx, explained some of the challenges of a possible state case against Trump for the alleged rape. Barriers include “the amount of time that’s passed, the fact that there don’t appear to be any witnesses to it. [Without DNA evidence], it’s very much her word against his word, and it’s such an old situation.” However, as Carroll writes in her book, she still owns the clothing she wore when she was assaulted by Trump: “The Donna Karan coatdress still hangs on the back of my closet door, unworn and unlaundered since that evening.”
“If she still has the dress, then there’s a possibility that it has biological material on it,” Canaff told Mother Jones. “It can be examined and tested for that. DNA does degrade, but, you know, is it under plastic? It just totally depends on how she’s kept this dress and where it’s been. But testing is a lot more sophisticated now than it was even 20 years ago.”

Remember that Rep. Omar has been a US citizen longer than FLOTUS.
“No matter how much I found him ultimately unfit, I still gave him the benefit of the doubt about being a racist. No matter how much I came to dislike him, I didn’t want to think that the president of the United States is a racial bigot,” Conway wrote in The Washington Post. “Naivete, resentment and outright racism, roiled in a toxic mix, have given us a racist president. … Telling four non-white members of Congress — American citizens all, three natural-born — to ‘go back’ to the ‘countries’ they ‘originally came from’? That’s racist to the core.”
