And for the faggots who say Trump "raped" E. Jean Carrol:

Nope.

That's just another lie spread by the media and faggots who conflate the finding with rape.

=====

New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be facing potential legal trouble after a social media post that some argue 
could amount to defamation.

In the post, Ocasio-Cortez referred to President Donald Trump as a "rapist," implying that the president was the reason behind the 
administration's decision not to release the Epstein files.

"Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files," the New York Democrat 
wrote on X.

AOC was likely referring to Trump's case with former Elle Magazine advice columnist E. Jean Carroll, who won a settlement against 
him after a federal jury found him liable for sexual assault against her in the 1990s. The same jury, however, did not find Trump 
guilty of rape.

Users on the platform immediately pointed that out and mentioned the potential legal consequences of making such a false claim.

Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee noted the problematic nature of this.

"Even under the ridiculously lenient standards of NY Times v. Sullivan, you've managed to incur defamation liability. Wow," Sen. 
Mike Lee (R-Utah) wrote on X, referring to the landmark 1964 Supreme Court libel case.

New York Times v. Sullivan is a landmark 1964 Supreme Court decision that is intended to serve as a guidepost for libel lawsuits. 
It sets an extraordinarily high standard: not only must the material be false or defamatory, but it must also be made with "actual 
malice" - either by presenting false information owing to a proven animus toward the target or with reckless disregard for the 
truth.

Others made similar comments.

"Very weird that none of those allegations came out until he was running for president. Also, I'm pretty sure this is libel and an 
easily winnable case at that," one user wrote.

"Given that other more high-profile commentators than you have called him that, and then been successfully sued, I think you're in 
some difficulty here," another added.

"Donald Trump has not been criminally convicted of rape. As a congress woman, with such broad reach, you should be aware of this 
and act and speak appropriately. This is defamation," wrote another X user.

"George Stephanopoulos might advise you to take down this tweet," another person posted.

Trump filed a lawsuit against Stephanopoulos and ABC last year after the This Week host claimed during an interview with Rep. Nancy 
Mace (R-SC) that Trump had been "found liable for rape."

In December, ABC and George Stephanopoulos agreed to pay $15 million to Trump's presidential library foundation, along with an 
additional $1 million in legal fees, as part of a settlement. The network also issued a public apology for the misstatement, The 
Post noted.

"This is defamatory," Trump ally Laura Loomer said of Ocasio-Cortez's tweet. "And I hope you are sued by Trump for this the same 
way George Stephanopoulos was sued and forced to pay Trump $15 million dollars."

"The President should sue AOC into bankruptcy," legal analyst Phil Holloway similarly argued. "I realize she's trying to raise her 
profile but this is way way too far," Holloway added.

"AOC likes to play pretend like she's from the block, but in reality she's just a sad, miserable blockhead who is trying to over-
compensate for her lack of self-confidence that has followed her for her entire life," White House communication director Steven 
Cheung said in a statement.

"Instead, she should get some serious help for her obvious and severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted her pea-
sized brain," he noted further.

Ocasio-Cortez has not responded to the fallout of her tweet as of Tuesday. That may change if Trump or his team decides to push the 
envelope.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
