    Agreed, but I think you may be missing the point. Others on this thread know what's best for you. Their opinions must be fact, and their wishes obeyed. They are the wanna-be dictators.

    I am not stating opinion, I am stating fact.

    Donald Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll.
    A jury in the New York civil case found that the former president had sexually abused Carroll at a Bergdorf Goodman department store in the mid-1990s, then defamed her character by branding her a "liar."
    That is sexual battery.

    He was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation by a civil court, I never said criminal.

    Also, I might as well add. I've noticed the discussion here has taken a tongue-in-cheek mood about alleged sex offenders like Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, who of course have never been actually convicted of that. But it says in my Law Dictionary by Steven Gifis that there has to be some criminal act, in other words some sex offense. It could have occurred in the 1930s (like they were talking about in Michigan where I live since the law is retroactive). But there has to be some harmful act, even if the person was found not responsible (the Law Dictionary goes on).

    The sex offender registry is also only to protect communities, not repunish offenders. But some people claim that is exactly what it is really supposed to do. I've even heard people online say (including one lawyer) maybe it isn't supposed to punish people again. But I'm glad it does. It also does the opposite of what people think sometimes. Sometimes for example leading to less safer communities, because people think they know where all the sex offenders live. When in reality it doesn't tell you where a first time offender might be. I was also reading recently online they only really have the sex offender registry in English-speaking countries. And like I said, the US is the only country in the world that allows the public access to it.

    Also I wanted to add. Most sex offenders are first time offenders. And the sex offender registry can't protect you from those. And I took two psychology classes in community college in 1995. And they said the typical pedophile, for example, doesn't fit the profile most people have. For one thing many?/most? are family members. And the sex offender registry can't protect you from your family. And, the sex offender registry diverts attention, wastes resources and gives people a false sense of security.

    It depends on how much money you have, and who you know and who you blow. I doubt if any of Epstein or P. Ditty friends are ever prosecuted.

    Partly. Putin also wants the land to reform a part of the old U.S.S.R. and he doesn't want Ukraine to join NATO.
