[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 410344, member: 35"] I don't need the opinions of others to KNOW you misrepresented me. I never said people should or shouldn't accept the verdict. Trump's accuser had her day in court, and the jury found in her favor. My point is if a Democrat ex-president was found guilty of rape in a court with a Republican-appointed judge, partisans would say he had an unfair trial. Add a Republican paying some of the legal expenses, and you'd add fuel to the fire. It doesn't matter that a jury delivered the verdict because all partisans care about is optics. It's also hard to see how Trump could have an entirely fair trial when the media bias against him was so strong for years leading to the court case. I'm not saying the jury [I][B]was[/B][/I] influenced by that, but it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility. Both Trump and the Dems have supporters who only believe accusations when they're levied at the other side. The way Dems treated Brett Kavanaugh and Trump's accusers vs. how they treated Biden's says it all. Suddenly, "believe women" became "believe Democrat-supporting women." Even you don't seem to have much faith in Tara Reade's accusation with your "unproven allegations" remark. Would it even have a made a difference to you if the court had validated Reade's claim, or would you still support Biden? Making an equivalence between a rape conviction and funding a mass genocide is "complete nonsense and shameful" because the Supreme Court allows the latter? That says more about your priorities than it does mine. Both acts are truly heinous, but what's shameful is excusing genocide. Not to mention the fact that a potential rapist and certified child sniffer has occupied the White House for the last 3 years, and you've made every excuse in the book for him. If Trump showered with his daughter, you wouldn't dismiss it. I've said I respect both Trump and Harris voters who believe they're making the pragmatic choice. However, believing one candidate is morally superior to another is ludicrous. Right, his father has only been president for the last 3 years! Leading up to the 2020 election, former intel officials deemed Hunter's laptop "Russian disinformation." That turned out to be an intentionally false story planted to help Biden's chances. No big deal, right? If we were talking about Trump and his son, you'd be singing a different tune. [/QUOTE]
