The current president is at a minimum guilty of multiple cases of sexual assault. Rich people do not only not have to deal with it, they are next to untouchable.

Wait what? Isn't he innocent until proven otherwise?
He pretty much admitted it himself, what else do you want? Or do you feel that because he lies all the time we should not believe him at all, even when he incriminates himself?

I'm fairly confident in declaring Trump guilty of that, this is not a court of law, it's an internet forum and the standards for both are different. In fact, the standards of proof for criminal law are different from those for civil law (see OJ), and I think it's a bit much to require the standard of proof for criminal law to apply to a forum discussion for someone who is on the record as stating the does exactly that which others claim he did to them.

Myself and half the guys and girls I grew up with are also guilty of sexual assault based on many people's current definition.
By what definition would that be?
Touching or suggestive language without explicit verbal or written consent would be one example.

I've personally been raped thusly on numerous occasions.

"Admitted it" is not the same thing as braggadocio
No, because we all make up shit like that. /s
I'm sorry, you're somewhere around fake news-level in your argumentation.
If someone claims something and is subsequently accused of having done that exact same thing that is not the same as 'making shit up'.
Not for people that can't get over the election results.
> at a minimum guilty of multiple cases of sexual assault

proof? and not by media assertion, please.
