When I logged onto TOL this morning I saw in the chatbox (to you non TOL members following this thread, the chatbox is a place where certain TOL members with a higher level of membership can chat) that a Libertarian leaning Trump supporter was ecstatic that the child rape civil suit against Donald Trump and convicted child molester Jeffrey Epstein has been dropped.
Looking into the reason, why am I not surprised?
The lawsuit accusing Trump of raping a 13-year-old girl, explained
Nov. 5, 2016
Fifteen women have now gone on record to say that Donald Trump sexually assaulted them. Out of all of their stories, one is the most explosive and bizarre — a woman who says Trump violently raped her at an orgy when she was just 13 years old. But the horrific details of her accusation have gotten the least attention.
It seemed like that was all going to change Wednesday, when the woman, who has gone by the pseudonyms “Katie Johnson” and “Jane Doe,” was set to appear at a press conference at the law offices of Lisa Bloom, a high-profile civil rights attorney and TV commentator. But the woman didn’t come to the press conference. Bloom told a room full of waiting reporters that Johnson was afraid to show her face after receiving
multiple death threats, and that they would have to reschedule.
Then on Friday, Bloom announced that Johnson had dropped her lawsuit: ...
It’s not uncommon for victims of sexual assault to want to preserve their anonymity, and dropping a lawsuit doesn’t mean admitting that the case had no merit. Jill Harth, who sued Trump for sexual assault in 1997, still stands by her claims even though she dropped the lawsuit. And it would indeed have been an intense couple of days for Johnson — Bloom said that her firm’s website was hacked, that Anonymous had claimed responsibility, and that
death threats and a bomb threat came in afterwards.

For those of you following this thread and looking at this case and other cases involving Donald Trump's sexual misconduct objectively (i.e. you want to know the truth), I suspect that you, like me, have no doubt in your mind that secular humanist/moral degenerate Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump is a child rapist.
On a related note: secular humanist/moral degenerate Presidential candidate Donald Trump has a long history of defending men (and I use the word "men" loosely when talking about the following) when it comes to sexual allegations/cover-ups against them:
All the Times Donald Trump Defended Sexual Predators—Including Himself
The Republican nominee was caught on tape 11 years ago describing himself sexually assaulting a woman—and he's not apologizing. It's part of his long history of defending predators
Oct. 7, 2016
Editor's Note: This story has been updated with the revelation that Trump in 2005 discussed women in sexually explicit terms and described assaulting one.
Donald Trump says women who face sexual harassment at work should just quit. Coming from him, this makes perfect sense.
That’s what he told USA Today columnist Kirsten Powers, when she asked what he hoped his daughter Ivanka would do if her boss was sexually predatory.
“I would like to think she would find another career or find another company if that was the case,” he said.
This is very much in character for Trump.
Over the course of his decades in public life, the mogul has consistently defended powerful men who face charges of sexual misconduct, consistently erring on the side of the *****-set-him-up thinking (h/t former D.C. mayor-for-life Marion Barry).
In Donald Trump, men connected to a host of sexual crimes and scandals found a consistent, loyal apologist.
In 1992, after heavyweight-boxing champion Mike Tyson was convicted of raping Desiree Washington, Trump still defended his longtime friend....
Trump and the Clintons both have ties to another convicted sex criminal.
Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of soliciting sex from an underage girl in 2008. He has settled lawsuits and faced accusations from dozens more alleged victims, some as young as 13.
Before Epstein’s crimes came to light, the pedophile hosted both Trump and Bill Clinton at his extravagant parties. The former president also flew on Epstein’s private jet—called “The Lolita Express”—over two dozen times from 2001 to 2003.
“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years,” Trump told New York Magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it—Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
But you don’t have to be a convicted pedophile for The Donald to come rushing to your defense.
Just being an older creep making advances on a younger woman will suffice. Take the time Trump downplayed Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant,” he told CNN in 2008. “And they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense. And yet Bush got us into this horrible war with lies, by lying, by saying they had weapons of mass destruction, by saying all sorts of things that turned out not to be true.”
More recently, the Republican presidential nominee has gone to bat for the now-deceased Joe Paterno, the former head coach of the Penn State football team who resigned in humiliation when news broke in 2011 that he did not alert authorities when informed of Jerry Sandusky’s molestation of young boys in the team locker room.
Trump, however, excused Paterno’s failure to stop the child molester.
“I knew Joe Paterno,” Trump tweeted on July 25, 2012. “When he heard what he heard, it just wasn’t his world—a different planet!”
Trump didn’t just defend Paterno; he also criticized the coach’s critics...
Which brings us to
Ailes—the focus of Powers’s column.
Trump immediately defended the former Fox News head...
Ailes’s departure from Fox News didn’t change Trump’s view of him; he even suggested to The Hollywood Reporter that he would consider hiring the ex-media mogul for his campaign.
In Trump’s world, rich and powerful men who face allegations of sexual misconduct find sympathy and support. But the women leveling those allegations? They should just find new jobs.
