I am confused on your point. Is it that outrage against a potential Supreme Court nominee should be higher than that for the presumptive Democratic nominee? Or that 1 accusation of sexual assault or rape against a major-party nominee is basically okay, but 12-ish is when its time to assume guilt?I find it humorous of the faux moral outrage by people who have a kavanaugh avatar, or who also happen to turn a blind eye to trumps' 2-ish dozen women who accused him of sexual assault and rape. Still waiting on the moral outrage about all that from trump supporters.
Is there any need to pretend that rational discussion is possible with someone who would make such a sick and utterly stupid statement?
I hope you just were not thinking about what you wrote because that's disgusting.
Ahhh. Admittedly I don’t remember that but I believe you. As I’ve stated several times, *if true it’s terrible no matter what political or social views the perpetrator has imo. And I believe that all claims need to be vetted so as not to wrongfully convict someone, even tho all it takes is the accusation usually to tarnish one in the public eye.We all came from the same board and I remember your posts taking the opposite posture in the Kavanaugh threads. Calling that accuser coming forward so long after the event disqualifying, citing your wife to back you up, all without any of the “concern” you exhibit now.
So can you point me to some posts where my impression is wrong? Where you took the lead on being critical of Trump allegations or other Republicans?
As there is a lot of so called “concern” from posters I cant seem to find a record of sharing that concern when the shoe was on the other foot.
Its not that hard, people that couldn’t demonstrate moral outrage when it was their team don’t have credibility to announce their moral outrage when it conveniently affects the opponent of your team.I am confused on your point.

That’s fine, but your posture is markedly different here.Ahhh. Admittedly I don’t remember that but I believe you.

And I do believe that it needs to be especially well vetted when the accusation is aged.

Then how do you explain your markedly different posture?I do not view things through the team lens. Truly.

I edited my post, but I went on to say its possible this is unconscious bias, but it appears to be bias nonetheless.
In that conversation you cited your wife as the backbone for why you could not trust the Kavanaugh accuser because supposedly she didnt come forward with her full allegation soon enough after the event. Today you seem to not take that posture, why?
I mean I think based on the evidence I think Biden probably did this shirt, and that either way the allegation is credible enough to be disqualifying, but that is because I am trying my best to use the same judgement I did for Kavanaugh and others here, despite the party preferences I have. But when another person said a year ago that under pretty similar circumstances the victims late allegation is disqualifying, but now is saying we should spend time to seriously look into it because it’s credible, that’s tough to reconcile, no?
Right, but again, when pressed on the credibility of Kavanaugh’s accuser you took a solid stance that she was not credible, per your wife questioning the timing, today that posture has shifted almost 180 despite a pretty identical situation.Not being a smart arse at all, I really may not be conveying my thoughts well. I am not meaning to assert that I believe that Joe is guilty. All should be vetted properly, including Kavanaugh.
And I do remember those remarks, and asking my then wife her opinion. I’m not a fan of waiting years to come forward no matter whom it is.

Which is similar to a number of posters in here.
So it does sort of leave you without much credibility in these matters. As it does appear that your judgement and approach shifts based on political affiliation, hence me asking for some examples you could demonstrate where maybe you did in fact take a similar level of interest and posture when it was a Republican being accused. Where maybe that perception of mine is wrong?
And again, that’s fair, and maybe true, but given the opposite approach the last time it doesn’t provide you much credibility on the matter until you and certain others do actually demonstrate a consistency.I concede that and actually wish I could ask her opinion on Biden and these allegations. Sadly the split wasn’t amicable and I cannot.
Whether right or wrong I trust a woman’s intuition more than mine on matters like this.
I can assure you that my defense of Kavanaugh had zero to do with him being a Republican. I know many here have pigeonholed me as a Republican, and that’s fine, but I am not and never have been. I do not base my beliefs on a party affiliation, never have.
Any old claim of sexual assault should be vetted especially well, as to me it seems to have a higher chance of being untrue.

You didn’t seem to demonstrate any outrage at the rush to confirm Kavanaugh or the stonewalling of Republicans toward a full on investigation. you dont seem particularly keen on punishing that party for failing to do so. And while you say you are not Republican, you seem to have had your mind made up to support them/Trump as far back as that period in 2018.
Which hopefully illustrates why many, myself included, lack confidence in the sudden stated convictions this go round of some, and at times lack patience for those convictions that seem to be so inconsistent based on political circumstance.
So, the shrugging off of child molestation doesn't register with you. I don't find that surprising actually.
so where you draw the line is in the hundreds of children in 20 years but a dozen plus women in 20 years is okay? I don't find that surprising actually.
I know you don't have a problem with that other guy saying he would vote for Biden if Biden molested children on a daily basis. That didn't bother you one little bit.
That really is all I need to know.
For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you've got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she's talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts.
You must be enjoying this... IIRC, I think that is a direct quote? Shouldn't you at least credit it?
