Presumption of innocence won today.


The presumption of innocence, sometimes referred to by the Latin expression Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies), is the principle that one is considered innocent unless proven guilty.


It's a good thing. Particularly when these alleged acts occurred 35 years ago and no one remembers anything about it.

Not if you're calling all Trump supporters Trumpanzees.

Otherwise, yes, that's very racist.


I see your point. But I don't know why a black person would be called a Trumpanzee and not also be a Trump supporter.

That's the conundrum. Trumpanzee is a nick name sometimes given to Trump supporters, probably with the correct assumption that most Trump supporters are white.

But what if they're not? Those black Trump supporters are now being called something (at least partially) historically racist.

It's not as simple as that because, potentially, a life is involved (fetus).. depending on how you would classify it.

Since the laws for protection are in place to protect everyone, even those without a voice, if one considers a fetus as being alive, many believe the laws should apply to them as well. For example, you can't abuse a mentally disabled person just because they can't say "Stop".

Only on CE does it make sense that 70% of huge lottery ticket winners go bankrupt in a few years, but when Trump turns his millions into billions, well that's just "but but his father!!"

There's gotta be some skill involved to do what he did, like it or not. If you disagree, then you're disagreeing that 70% of huge lottery winners often end up bankrupt after a few years. If any idiot can stay rich, then why aren't more people staying rich when they hit the lottery?

Being a trust fund baby is a very different environment than winning the lottery. Those kids are groomed to be able to manage money from a young age. Lottery winners are generally idiots who can't do basic math. Judging Trump against his peers, he has performed terribly. He could have just parked all his money in a stock market index fund and done nothing, and he would have made more.


Who are his peers, exactly? Because there's a whole bunch of 71 year olds who are broke as fuck. And a whole bunch more who don't have a net worth of a few billion dollars.


Not peers by age, derp.

Peers by "wealthy"


Oh, okay.

How many people simply inherited money, "parked it in index funds" and did nothing else and now have billions more than Trump? Who are these people? How many are there? Is that all they did? What are their names? How much money did they start with?

So are you gonna address the fact that he would have made more money by literally not doing anything?

Instead, he used his "brilliant business sense" to lose more than he would have gained by literally not doing anything.


Would have, could have, should have? It's easy in retrospect to say "Oh I could have done that".

Like I said before-- how many people did? How many people did absolutely nothing their whole lives with a few hundred million dollars in the 70s and are now worth more than Trump because they invested in the right funds? And who are they? What are their names? How much did they start out with?

Warren Buffet doesn't even count, because he wasn't just an investor. And even if you want to count him, that's fine. Obviously there are richer people than Trump.

It speaks volumes that after 6 years of uttering the words that Mr. Kavanaugh did that she finally decides to suddenly come forward once he was a Supreme Court pick. Nevermind the 30 years before that. 6 years after she allegedly made these claims against him, now is the time.

Does what happened to her not matter if he wasn't a Supreme Court pick? Would she have eventually come forward regardless?

I think Ford's untimeliness of her accusations should very well be called into question.

After all these years, she first told her therapist and husband in 2012. That was 6 years ago. They already knew he was a prominent person at that time. Why not go forward with the accusations or pursue legal options then? Or even a couple years later?

She's a literal pink ***** hat wearing liberal. It took her 30 years to say anything. Then once she said something, only now, 6 years later, is she coming forward.

Kavanaugh should be appointed.

As pointed out several times during the testimony, the FBI investigating won't do anything. They won't come to a conclusion about anything or tell the Senate what they should do or whether or not he's guilty. They talk to the witnesses just like they're doing now. Even Joe Biden said it's useless.

The Democrats had weeks to bring this to the surface and they did nothing. If they wanted their investigation they could have gotten it then, but now it's too late. Feinstein knew about this and mentioned nothing to him during their questioning. It's nothing more than to delay.

The whole circumstances surrounding this is highly questionable and should automatically go into Kavanaugh's favor.

From the internet...

"Racketeering, often associated with organized crime, is the act of offering of a dishonest service (a "racket") to solve a problem that wouldn't otherwise exist without the enterprise offering the service. Racketeering as defined by the RICO Act includes a list of 35 crimes."

Louisiana has always been very corrupt. Former New Orleans mayor Nagin is almost halfway through his 10 year prison sentence (Mayor during Katrina):

"On January 18, 2013, Nagin was indicted on 21 corruption charges, including wire fraud, conspiracy, bribery, money laundering, and filing false tax returns related to bribes from city contractors. The 21-count federal corruption charges were issued by a grand jury.[62] On February 20, 2013, Nagin pleaded not guilty in federal court to all charges. Despite New Orleans' long history of political corruption, Nagin was the first mayor to be criminally charged for corruption in office."

"Nagin reported to the Federal Correctional Institution, Texarkana, a prison camp, on September 8, 2014."
