Not how consent works.Did he say he didnāt?
Itās not what I believe or donāt believe.let me take a second and explain something to you, from a woman's perspective:
there are women who will freeze in such a situation, not react at all, purely because of the shock and surprise of a man reaching out and grabbing her genitalia without being invited to do so.
some, in fear and to avoid 'a scene' or further actions on the man's part, might smile: an age-old avoidance of violence (that might come if he's rejected or spurned) and de-escalation action on her behalf as she tries to extricate herself from the situation.
yet others might be there for whatever they can milk out of his fame by attaching themselves to his name, working to appear charmed and flattered (as he expects them to be) all while trying to get ahead financially by lucrative job opportunities they see him as a portal to.
times have changed and nowadays fewer women, especially young women (unless they fall into the latter category) will quietly go along with that sort of sexual assault but will speak out loudly and not pull punches. Older women, who received that kind of unwanted "attention" from the wealthy and famous 10, 20, 50 years ago would generally speaking tell few people if any, feeling ashamed that it happened (as if she were somehow to blame by sending 'mixed messages') and it's only many years later they now realise that their silence/smiling was a tacit form of allowing this to continue. Women had been brought up in a culture that force-fed them the idea that to receive the sexual interest of a male (especially one of 'high value') was something that should make them feel valued. Today, we are less dependent on such notions and can desire to be sexually appealing to men/people WE decide appeal to US without needing to feel sexually desirable to any one else. Thankfully, the days of 'don't make a fuss/it was nothing/so he found you so sexy/doesn't it make you feel good he did?' etc..., are falling by the wayside. Culturally, those things that were 'acceptable' back then simply aren't today.
Just because you don't believe he did what he did to E.J.Carroll doesn't mean he didn't do itāas a jury has decided.
But you are happy to kill babies. Got you.i'll engage this once:
of course not. don't be stupid.
there are rights to appeal and when those rights are exhausted, the rule of law has to be accepted, whether you agree with it or not. If you don't agree, if you believe 'the law is an ass', then you have the ability and privilege of petitioning to change that law.
the point is that it doesn't matter jack what you, i, or anyone else opines on given his credibility: the people that matter are the prosecution, defense, witnesses, defendant, judge and, ultimately, the jury.
that's all you get; you are not someone i feel happy conversing with and i don't own/desire to own a handmaid's bonnet.
Very well stated.Itās not what I believe or donāt believe.
I am simply reacting to what has been said here.
He has been declared guilty here because of something he said 20 years ago.
And that was misquoted.
It was said here that because he was President the standards had to de different.
But when he said women will let you grab them by the pussy he was not the president nor even in the running to be the president.
I also referred back to Speaker of the House Tom Foley saying proof is not needed. On the seriousness of the accusations.
If that is the standard.
I am fine with that.
So long as it is a two way street.
But you and I both know.
It is not and it never will be.
If it was, Biden would be the monster Trump is.
For all the same accusations.
He is a lair, just as Trump is.
He is a thief, just as Trump is.
He is a woman abuser, just as Trump is.
But that will never be the narrative, will it?
Because the standards will never be equal.
The rules will never be the same for both sides.
And anybody who demands it is always attacked.
If a 20 year old auto recording is enough proof to condemn Trump?
Shouldnāt video of Biden grabbing a womanās breast and her shoving his hands away and twist away from him, condemn Biden?
Never mind the buried accusations of assault by Biden to the DNC.
Shouldnāt Bidenās lies that saw him thrown out of the 88 election be enough to condemn him?
After he repeated those same lies in the last election and during his term as President?
Shouldnāt the accusations of taking bribes with the āproofā in his sons laptop be enough? Now that the DOJ has publicly stated the laptop is Hunters.
If the standards are going to be different, then all is fair.
Or do you see a duel standard a good thing beyond partisan politics?
Read my responses to butters. You aren't worth repeating myself for.Not how consent works.
You havenāt explained consent or answered any questions.Read my responses to butters. You aren't worth repeating myself for.
Again, I answered the information. I have no interest in your dictating how I should talk or respond to you. You don't get to redefine terms of debate then demand I follow along. I do understand your confusion. You are used to getting to frame debates and conversations and words however you wanted, and our people rarely had the fight to push back. After all, we needed to be nice. That's what conservatives were.You havenāt explained consent or answered any questions.
Still havenāt been answered.Again, I answered the information. I have no interest in your dictating how I should talk or respond to you.

Those days are gone. You have been answered. If you don't like the answer, too bad. We frame our answers in truth, not your artificial frameworks. You want the answers you want, go to an echo chamber or talk to yourself in a mirror. Hey, you can start a thread where you just talk to yourself and then answer yourself. And you won't have to deal with facts. And you won't have to be triggered. Just your own little self-loathi... I mean self-loving safe space.
Until then, your "You still haven't answered" is coming off as a child's tantrum.
this is why I try to stay out these types of debates

Can I assume your misunderstanding of the word āTryā has led you to this conclusion?Out of 12 total posts in your entire Lit career thus far, 11 of them have been on the PB, in debates.
So, along with the rest of your content, that sure does look like some grade-A bullshit right there.
Ahhh... And here comes the buzzwords. Your argument is disintegrating before our eyes, friend. And in 7 pages. It's a record!Still havenāt been answered.
Youāve run from any debate and try to reframe things and have your own conversation.
You have to own your misogyny
Can I assume your misunderstanding of the word āTryā has led you to this conclusion?
Still havenāt been answered. Yes, I keep mentioning the buzzwords YOU brought up. Funny how you donāt like to be held accountable for what you said.Ahhh... And here comes the buzzwords. Your argument is disintegrating before our eyes, friend. And in 7 pages. It's a record!
Funny how easy it is to call a man a liar through a computer screen.I understand the word.
And we all understand that you're lying, and haven't tried for shit.
Funny how easy it is to call a man a liar through a computer screen.
I wonder if you would be so bold to say such a thing to my face?
Not saying you would or wouldnāt.
But I do have to wonder.
And I must tell you I doubt very much you would. But I could be wrong.
Why? What could you do if he said it to your face?Funny how easy it is to call a man a liar through a computer screen.

Sounds like a threat, no?Why? What could you do if he said it to your face?
Well if you are ever in Gilroy Ca look me up.I've been on a microphone in front of entire school bodies, pinging them on their shit. I have no issue whatsoever calling liars out to their faces.
The last one tried to take a swing at me. I dodged him and laughed until he frothed at the mouth like a chihuahua with meningitis.
Just so you know itās me.I've been on a microphone in front of entire school bodies, pinging them on their shit. I have no issue whatsoever calling liars out to their faces.

He wasn't making a threat. He was pointing out how easy it is to throw insults and purgitives on a faceless, unaccountable form, or on Ticktock or Twitter... I mean X (still hate that name for it), or Facebook, or other platforms. He's pointing out the laziness of internet courage and online virtue signaling. Few on here, probably including you, have the courage of your claimed convictions in real life.Why? What could you do if he said it to your face?
