allow me to point to the relevant string of words:

a finding of guilt by a jury


Did you really say Steeler's afraid to get into a semantics argument with you? I mean, who wouldn't be, because you will just give him a water-torture stream of nonsense until he throws in the towel.

Fixed yer post. 

What, are you upset that I brought up the fact that Trump is a felon and adjudicated rapist? Or that there's strong evidence that he was sexually involved with at least one underage girl? 

Or maybe there's another innocent reason that Trump regularly called Jeffrey Epstein—even at 5 am—for massage appointments. Do tell. 

As for Katie Johnson...I guess she doesn't count for you. Because Trump. 


You're a certifiable nutbar with a potty mouth and a complete inability to conduct even the most basic of research before you fire volley after volley of incendiary statements.

Newsweek, July 4: Donald Trump, Katie Johnson Allegations: Everything We Know

Word/phrase count: 
allegations - 1
dismissed - 4
withdrawn - 1
dropped - 1
notice to dismiss - 1

I'd suggest you should retract and apologize - but we all know you are incapable of that.

From you link.  

A conviction is an adjudication of a criminal defendant’s guilt

The adjudication part is when the judge makes their final determination ... which has not happened and to paraphrase the judge (cuz I'm not going to spend time looking for the actual quote), may not happen ...

Here is the support for my remarks about convictions

Lawyer — President Trump is not actually a convicted felon. Media outlets should be careful.
I spent a fair amount of time researching the meaning of adjudication regarding the Trump case where he was adjudicated a rapist by the judge, in conflict with the jury's finding of sexual abuse in the case.  The judge inserted his opinion, not fact in making his finding.  That is a very important distinction which everyone (who posts on the subject) ignores.  They want to call him a convicted rapist.

He's a convicted felon, Kurt. If you want to wait until Merchan hands down a sentence before calling him a convicted felon, go ahead. 

Maybe you could say "he's a pre-sentencing felon!"

As for Trump raping E. Jean Carroll—I guess you're saying "he only raped her a little!"

We can also add that there's strong evidence that Trump is a pedophile. Perhaps we'll just stick with "suspected pedophile" for now.

That is what matters as the lust here to call Trump a "convicted felon" is at a fever pitch.

No, we all already know he's a convicted felon. No lust needed.
 
It's your recent feeble attempt to try and state otherwise that is at issue here. I went back and saw that it wasn't you who originally posted what you are trying to pass off as "proof"... but until it was posted... you weren't trying to argue otherwise. Sorry but what you're throwing up against the wall... ain't stickin'.

Wait, your unequivocal support for your position is a statement by Trump's lawyer. Well, that seals it then! No bias in that source.

This debate is really about semantics. The jury issued its verdict of guilty on all 34 felony counts. The judge can accept or reject a jury verdict. The judge enters a judgment. Trump has been granted leave to file a motion to set aside the jury verdict based on the Supreme Court immunity decision. It is possible that the judge will set aside the jury’s verdict and enter a judgment of acquittal. The motion will be briefed. That is why the judge delayed sentencing.

Yep.  I wanted to watch this one but took a nap instead.  I missed a real doozy.

She is being hammered about a NYT article about a Parkinson's specialist visiting the WH 8 times in 8 months.

One visit is a nothing.  8 in 8 months ?  There is a there there that we need to know about.

She claims that this is news to her and it went downhill from there.

So Biden is having hallucinations typical with Parkinson's ?  Explains a lot about those staring episodes ... 

Trump was threatened with the 25th for far less "evidence".
