You accuse me of not being a free thinker, but I turn it around and accuse you of the same, you don’t come into this discussion without your own biases, that is evident and normal.
There have been many facts, that weren’t…….All those people that were killed on Jan 6th……but weren’t.
The backlash of the “very fine people on both sides” after Charlottesville, where he was misquoted but that misinformation (to use the modern term) was never corrected and was used as the very election springboard for Biden.
My overriding position on this, is that come November, the only deciding factor should be the electorate. If they want to vote for a Narcissistic, misogynistic, disingenuous, fraudulent, fat old man…..then that’s up to them. It shouldn’t be decided by anyone else.
And if the Democrats can’t, or think they can’t, beat such a candidate, then that says a hell of a lot about their proposition.

Although it's relevant for the purposes of defamation the court filing itself does feel a bit like "if he committed the same crime in a different place, and was prosecuted to a higher evidence threshold, he would be considered a rapist."

Some may point out that I routinely call the officer in the George Floyd incident a murderer for an equivalent charge to manslaughter - but he was convicted of second degree murder in the place it actually happened.
