Yes sir, I will now reevaluate my life choices based on your opinion, an internet guy. Ok. Lol. Maybe he did rape, maybe he didn't. You may know some rape victims/survivors as I do as well, but you have zero idea who these people that are accusing him REALLY are. You don't know if they're 26 brave women, or 26 money hungry, etc, women. You have to hear the facts before you judge them. Your hate for Trump made the decision for you. That's obvious. Why isn't he in jail if there's 26 of them. Surely just one can prove it, right? If he did do it, then that's what's disgusting. Talk about disgusting. What's disgusting is your lack of wanting to know the facts from both sides before judging. I don't care if it's Trump, Biden, or anyone else, you have to know the facts first. I feel sorry for the person who's up against it and you're the juror, especially if you found out he's a Trump supporter. Pitiful. You need to put a check on your life choices, bud. You're an adult, right? Surely you can do better than repeating statements back to me like I'm back in junior high. You can make excuses for sexual predators that prey on minors! (Disgusting, for the record) but I will not. Once again, this is NOT a court of law. "Why isn't he in jail" is the most naive and idiotic question in history. He has money, power and access. Those who do prey on those who don't precisely because they know they have an aura of invicibility and proving sexual assault outside of the immediate aftermath is extraordinarily difficult. A good friend of mine and one of the bravest humans I've ever met was raped in the parking garage of the hospital she received chemotherapy in after her treatment. She was so shaken and guilt-ridden that she didn't come forward for weeks. Her rapist was never found or prosecuted. Many, many survivors do not feel empowered enough to come forward because their credibility gets dragged through the mud and the emotional trauma is often worse than the physical. And no, I don't need to know the "facts" as you describe them. I've seen Donald Trump enough, listened to the man speak enough and have a knowledge of his patterns of predatory behavior. Predators don't change their manners of abuse, they are extreme creatures of habit. And yes, I believe 26 women and the countless others that likely don't have the courage to come forward because of the absolute piece of garbage that Donald Trump is as a human. Your attempts to undermine women as "money hungry" or looking for clout or a payoff is vile, misogynistic behavior. Congratulations, you defended a rapist today. Wear that badge of honor proudly. I repeat those statements back to you, because they actually fit you. Just redirecting. There are plenty of powerful, wealthy men in jail due to sexual abuse, Weinstein, Cosby was in jail, Epstein as well, etc.... Women are coming forward to report their rape, etc, more so than ever, and that's a good thing. There's been movements about this to empower women. If he actually raped 26 women, absolutely at least a few of them have some concrete proof of it, right? I don't disbelieve any of them yet and I'm not defending Trump. I'm actually just being fair about it, and you're using your hate again. We differ that way, big time. Talking about naive, you're actually going to come out and say and slander someone by calling them a rapist before the facts come out. That's what's naive and disgusting. Talk about wearing a badge proud, go for it. You can have yours. Like I said, I pity the person who had you on their jury. Sheesh. |

And when you say "I don't disbelieve any of them" and want to talk about fairness for the abuser you ARE indeed defending their accuser. I believe women first, simply because of the structure of the justice system where rapists and abusers roam freely. That list is a hell of a lot longer than the three names you alluded to. He walked in on underage girls for God's sake. On no planet is that defensible, even mildly. It's just not. It's disgusting behavior that is textbook serial predator in nature. Judging by all I know from what I saw the last four years and beyond, I can reasonably conclude that Donald Trump is culpable. It's not slander if it's true. |

I named three men and had an etc... in there as well. There's more than just those three and there's more of them recently for a reason. You can say that he's a rapist all you want. That's you prerogative. I just don't handle things that way. Call me crazy, but I want to know more facts matter who it is. |

plenty of video of trump partying with Epstein. In fact Trump says "Jeffrey likes em on the younger side"..how did he know? I don't doubt that he was in his company and saw the girls that he was associated with. Trump's not the best human in the world for sure, but I'm not ready to label him a rapist until he's proven to be one, just like I would anyone else. |

What's wrong with the economy? And how does it impact you personally? I fill up my gas tank twice a week. Instead of paying $55 a full tank now costs $70-75. It adds up. Everything in the supermarket is now more expensive. Coffee, hot dogs, vegetables, bread…..basIcally all groceries. Inflation is hovering around 5%, the highest it’s been since 1990…..and rising. If the Progressives get their multi trillion spending debacle passed it will go MUCH HIGHER. We are also having severe supply chain issues, expect shortages soon. Have you tried to fly via the airlines recently? That is now a mess, 10-15% of our pilots aren’t compliant with the vaccine requirements and thousands of flights have been canceled. The government is operating with unsustainable and unrestrained economic frivolity. If the government takes over the innovation and technological development of the private sector (which they are basically heading towards) the innovations which drive the United States to the top of the world’s economic pyramid will probably cease. Remember, government is not good at developing innovations. The competition of ideas which gives us the next generation of anything does not exist in governmental bureaucracies and red tape, it comes from the genius of the American people unleashed by the free market. Gas prices are primarily tied to the Middle East, not any president's actions. If you want lower prices at the pump, buy a hybrid or electric vehicle. Inflation is at 5%, yes. A combination of expansionary fiscal policy (stimulus to avoid an economic recession) and low labor force participation rates have increased the supply of money, while also squeezing supply chains and service labor respectively. People have been reluctant to return to work. COVID concerns remain, and some people have pivoted away from working low wage jobs to alternatives (going back to school, starting their own business, working as a homemaker). Companies employing low wage employees have had to raise their wages to incentivize workers to go back to work. As a result, pay is up for low wage service sector jobs - and so are the prices at grocery stores. I consider this to be a good thing - low wage service sector employees have had wages below the living wage line for a very long time. 5% inflation isn't bad, although I can understand who it would irritate people with large amounts of money in their retirement funds. If you're in stocks it's no big deal, if you are holding a lot of bonds... not so great. However, inflation rates were historically low for a very long period of time up until now, suppressed by very low FED interest rates (that ended up being a factor leading to the financial crisis/great recession), so... I have very little sympathy here. Put your money into stocks. |

I simply choose to hear both sides first, and the facts no matter who the individual is. Normal. Hate can make you blind, and make you jump to conclusions. Please, don't ever do jury service. |

You're an adult, right? Surely you can do better than repeating statements back to me like I'm back in junior high. You can make excuses for sexual predators that prey on minors! (Disgusting, for the record) but I will not. Once again, this is NOT a court of law. "Why isn't he in jail" is the most naive and idiotic question in history. He has money, power and access. Those who do prey on those who don't precisely because they know they have an aura of invicibility and proving sexual assault outside of the immediate aftermath is extraordinarily difficult. A good friend of mine and one of the bravest humans I've ever met was raped in the parking garage of the hospital she received chemotherapy in after her treatment. She was so shaken and guilt-ridden that she didn't come forward for weeks. Her rapist was never found or prosecuted. Many, many survivors do not feel empowered enough to come forward because their credibility gets dragged through the mud and the emotional trauma is often worse than the physical. And no, I don't need to know the "facts" as you describe them. I've seen Donald Trump enough, listened to the man speak enough and have a knowledge of his patterns of predatory behavior. Predators don't change their manners of abuse, they are extreme creatures of habit. And yes, I believe 26 women and the countless others that likely don't have the courage to come forward because of the absolute piece of garbage that Donald Trump is as a human.

There was no DNA or video evidence for Cosby or Weinstein. Its all she said / he said. What is the difference with trump? Oh yea, I know what it is: "I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue, and not lose any supporters". Trump studied Limbaugh and "dittos".. he knew how to manipulate that audience. Turns out you only need 25 to 30% of Americans... which surprised me. |

You've brought up jury service in every post. Bizarre. I've done jury service multiple times, so I think I'm okay. Did you miss the part (again) where I said this...is...not....a....court...of....law? So are you curious to hear the stance of child molesters, cop killers...? John Gardner, who raped and murdered Chelsea King and Amber Dubois, what about his perspective? I mean he raped and strangled two teenage girls. You must not be aware that the former POTUS could submit to a simple DNA test that would exonerate him. He's refused. In fact, he tried to delay the proceeding just a fee weeks ago. www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-judge-rules-trump-cannot-stop-rape-accusers-lawsuit-proceeding-2021-09-15/The people who deserve the benefit of the doubt get it. Those who admittedly mingle with known child molesters and sex traffickers do not. It's totally normal behavior to be accused of sexual misconduct going back 30 years by almost 30 women. Pure coincidence, right? |

I don't think it makes me blind to reality. I think it makes me a fair and reasonable person. Never said I was morally righteous either, nor do I think I am over anyone else. I simply choose to hear both sides first, and the facts no matter who the individual is. Normal. Hate can make you blind, and make you jump to conclusions. Please, don't ever do jury service. You've brought up jury service in every post. Bizarre. I've done jury service multiple times, so I think I'm okay. Did you miss the part (again) where I said this...is...not....a....court...of....law? So are you curious to hear the stance of child molesters, cop killers...? John Gardner, who raped and murdered Chelsea King and Amber Dubois, what about his perspective? I mean he raped and strangled two teenage girls. You must not be aware that the former POTUS could submit to a simple DNA test that would exonerate him. He's refused. In fact, he tried to delay the proceeding just a fee weeks ago. www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-judge-rules-trump-cannot-stop-rape-accusers-lawsuit-proceeding-2021-09-15/The people who deserve the benefit of the doubt get it. Those who admittedly mingle with known child molesters and sex traffickers do not. It's totally normal behavior to be accused of sexual misconduct going back 30 years by almost 30 women. Pure coincidence, right? No, I don't care about convicted felons opinions. I happen to believe in you're innocent until proven guilty for EVERYBODY. I understand if someone said there's a good chance he did it, or that someone's leaning that way, but when someone assumes a person is a rapist, of all things, based on someone's word with out really knowing them, then I think that's irresponsible. But, you have at it and try not to let your hate rule you. |

But, you have at it and try not to let your hate rule you. As much as your brain wants to undermine logic by defining it as hate...It isn't hate. It's common sense. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, acts like a duck and behaves like a duck...chances are, it's a duck. You get caught up in the same fallacy again and again - "I need to know the facts." The facts are clear here - He's been accused by nearly THIRTY women and has an extremely, extremely well documented history of predatory behavior including with TEENAGE GIRLS. But yeah, innocent until proven guilty...even though we're not in a courtroom....for the fifth time. Banging your head on the wall is more productive. |

You'll convict someone because you don't like em, or because you believe someone crossed a huge line for sure before you hear any testimony. Not good. Also, I simply believe that you're innocent until proven guilty and that's why I bring it up. Of course, there's the cases where everybody knows the person did it since there were eye witnesses, etc, and it's only a formality. |
