    You don’t need to be convicted in a court to be a rapist, nor to be called a rapist. Convicted in a court requires the highest burden of proof. That’s not the level of proof we require for general discussions, nor is it for who should or shouldn’t be a candidate for president.

      You actually do. If we used the same criteria we used for Trump then Biden is a rapist as well.

        So then OJ isn’t a murderer, is that your stance?

        If we used the same criteria we used for Trump then Biden is a rapist as well. Why, who did Biden rape? What credible evidence is there? What even remotely convincing facts exist to suggest that Biden raped anyone?

          No, OJ is not a murderer. He was acquitted of a crime.

          Tara Reade. There is more evidence that Tara Reade was assaulted by Biden than Trump assaulted Jean.

            So the civil jury that found him guilty committed libel? If someone is found guilty of voluntary manslaughter, you think that means people in casual conversation couldn’t call them a murderer?

            If you want to call biden a rapist because you think Tara Reade’s account is credible, that’s fine. Go for it. But people are allowed to look at the facts as they see them and make judgments. And just because a jury doesn’t convict someone that doesn’t mean they didn’t commit the crime

              I don’t know any educated people who would. He was not convicted of murder, and legal libel is a low standard to meet.

              There is zero evidence that Trump committed rape on Jean. She doesn’t know the most basic facts. I get you dislike Trump, but banana courts are just damaging to the whole country.

                Hahaha. You don’t know ANYone “educated” that would call someone who intentionally killed someone, but was convicted of a lower crime, a murderer. Ok sure.

                I get you dislike Trump, but banana courts are just damaging to the whole country.

                No one’s talking about a court, we’re talking about casual discourse between civilians. Oh wait, except for the court that found trump responsible for sexual abuse

                  No one’s talking about a court, we’re talking about casual discourse between civilians. Oh wait, except for the court that found trump responsible for sexual abuse Trump is legally libel for sexual abuse. The jury agreed with the lack of evidence and still came to the conclusion it happened. I don’t deny that at all.

                    What does this even mean? The jury found him liable for sexual abuse. What crazy mental gymnastics are you doing to suggest that they “agreed with the lack of evidence”?
