Your nagging is unwanted, Frank. Grow a pair.

There was the claims of the accused, the access Hollywood tape, other accusers, and Trump’s deposition, none of which establish any rape or battery oc...

What evidence? There was no evidence of either rape or battery. But they went with one and not the other, for whatever reason.
May 10, 2023 at 16:51
He was talking about the publicist, whom he didn’t grope and kiss directly after his comments.
May 10, 2023 at 16:50
They disagreed with her rape accusation. So it’s clear they thought she was lying.
May 10, 2023 at 16:41
I’m quite aware he lost. But the fact remains there is no evidence of his supposed crimes.
May 10, 2023 at 16:23
It obviously did, which is nonsense because the access Hollywood tape occurred a decade later and was irrelevant.
May 10, 2023 at 16:22
It doesn’t mean partial, either.
May 10, 2023 at 16:16
I guess that’s why they went from rape to battery. It’s just more likely. Utterly bonkers justice system. But thanks for your expertise.
May 10, 2023 at 16:15
Yes, the sordid fears of a New York judge take precedence over an individual’s right to an impartial jury.
May 10, 2023 at 16:13
That seems to be why he lost, not because E. Jean Carrol established anything beyond a reasonable doubt.
May 10, 2023 at 16:03
Because it was Donald Trump.
May 10, 2023 at 16:00
So then why was it not allowed in this case?
May 10, 2023 at 15:55
Then why would they have voir dire in civil cases?
May 10, 2023 at 15:49
It would prove that the DNA wasn't Trump's, that it was some other person's DNA.

If you are a lawyer, Hanover, what is your opinion on anonymous juries and the 6th amendment?
May 10, 2023 at 15:44
As far as I know the judge didn't allow any of it, including the admission of Trump's DNA to compare to the male DNA found on the dress.
May 10, 2023 at 15:41
It's evidence she doesn't have a case and one of the reasons why we have statute of limitations. She neither remembers the date nor wrote about the ep...

Exactly.
May 10, 2023 at 15:21
You can prove it in court. The scars, the medical records, the witnesses. They’re probably all there. Supposing there is medical malpractice, would yo...

I think they were all in on it. None of them can remember the year it happened. The supposed episode never appears in E. Jean Carrol’s diary. None of ...
May 10, 2023 at 14:46
That’s because I know you cannot name one reason. You don’t have any reason.
May 10, 2023 at 10:31
Americans have the right to an impartial jury. That’s why during voir dire jurors are often questioned to decide whether they can be fair and impartia...

There is no evidence. Her claims of sexual assault can be discarded along with her accusations of rape. Believing such accusations without evidence sa...
May 10, 2023 at 03:36
I have no interest in the sexual lives of politicians. But yeah, the conversations between males can get quite sleazy.
May 10, 2023 at 00:34
Yeah, pretty funny.

Liable for damages in a civil suit about a decades-old incident in a year she can't even remember. Another feather in the cap, boys. https://youtu.be/...

I appreciate the arguments. I’m going to make my case anyways. We do worry about the future states of others, the burdens, the impositions. Life can b...

The only way to stop birth is abortion or death of the child, which is an imposition on the child.
May 06, 2023 at 23:33
Being pushed out of the womb? But if he isn’t pushed out of the womb, wouldn’t suffering and death occur?
May 06, 2023 at 23:25
Which act is the imposition, then?
May 06, 2023 at 23:17
We are knowingly bringing about a human being. For the most part the circumstances parents try hard to provide, often with great sacrifice and effort,...

That’s right. Trans identity is interesting because though it demands the recognition and protection and rights of its own identity, it begets the blu...

The issue is not that a man wants to dress as woman, but that he expects to be treated like one, spoken about as if he was one, and be given access to...

You’ve simply reasserted the claim that his argument was a retreat, so I tried to phrase it another way that might be understandable. If that itself i...
May 05, 2023 at 16:56
It seems more of a push than a retreat, is all I’m saying, like he was being bullied into being politically correct rather than correct.
May 05, 2023 at 16:22
They probably knew that the word “woman” is defined as “an adult female person”, which is about biological sex. The meaning is probably shifting these...

The second statement of A seems more of a response to the appeal to emotion of B and not necessarily a retreat of any sort. B is where the fallacy is....

It sounds like guesswork. I suppose we can confirm whether we were being ethical, whether we should or should not have had a child, by asking our offs...
May 03, 2023 at 16:15
The child has no say because it is not born. There is no child. So how can we behave ethically towards what amounts to a thought? In the same vein, wo...
