    What the fuck are you trying to say?

    Because clearly we are thinking about two different things.

        Aaah, I see it now.

        You’re implying that he raped somebody. You know, like Trump.

        No, no. I implied that he had consensual sex with somebody. And I somehow thought that you thought that was scandalous.

        But I see what you mean.

        Have a good night, sir.

          I’m glad I painted the picture well enough.

          Technically I implied sexual assault and also yeah like Trump, duh.
