That line of thinking is a quick road to disaster, not to mention the main reason for the burden of proof being on prosecution rather than defence. Proving something didn't happen is often impossible.

Re: Trump
If Biden is guilty, do it through the courts rather than shitsling to harvest votes. Trump is down and dirty, so this low trick doesn't surprise me, and is yet more proof of a man who doesn't respect or believe in truth enough to let it speak for itself, rather than bend it to cover the vast pile of shit behind him.

Re: Trump
And I understand that and agree, but nobody is asking him to prove his innocence.
Again, I don't disagree.eny wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 8:46 pmIf Biden is guilty, do it through the courts rather than shitsling to harvest votes.

This is my problem. I agree with you both, of course I do. But if someone accused someone of killing someone and there was (tenuous) evidence, there would be a case to answer. You can say 'well it should be with the police' as much as you want but unfortunately, this is a public sphere, with a public aspect and the Uighurs are stakeholders.
Again, I don't believe it, and want Biden to win.
EDIT: Spelling corrections. I've had some lager.
Re: Trump
And I agree (keep saying this), but I don't think that means we can delay the rule of law.
I agree. I want Biden to win. And I think he will. But if this becomes more substantiated (which I think it will after tonight if he really has invited that guy along), it might cause him issues in swing states and will definitely cause him issues post election.

Re: Trump
No, but you’re suggesting he should disprove his guilt. I’m saying that might not logically be possible, and it’s not how the law operates (in theory, at least). The onus here is on Trump to provide some tangible evidence to back up his claims.Tommy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 9:08 pmAnd I understand that and agree, but nobody is asking him to prove his innocence.
It doesn’t matter, really, because the only reason Trump is making a song and dance about it is to smear Biden before the election. Appearance sadly counts more than facts when the voting beans are cast in each jar.
Re: Trump
I think it's going to matter because I don't think it'll go away. I haven't watched the highlights from last night but I thought Trump would use it as a platform. Not a lot of chatter about it this morning which suggests he didn't, or it didn't land.Wrathbone wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 6:24 amNo, but you’re suggesting he should disprove his guilt.

On another note, it seems people feel Biden win (or at least that he didn't lose which I think might've been all he needed to do).

Re: Trump
So, two things; one, I'm pretty sure that's bollocks. Two; if it were true, WHY AREN'T YOU FIXING YOUR BROKEN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM?! IT'S YOUR FUCKING JOB TO STOP IT.
A serious case of Covid can cost a US citizen $1,100,000. Sure, the vast majority of that is going to be picked up by insurance, but the patient in that case was still left with a $6000 bill. There was a 181-page long itemised list of everything the hospital had done. Christ, if Trump's bullshit were true, I doubt $2000 would cover the cost of the stapler needed to assemble the bill.

Re: Trump
It isn't true, anyway you look at it. Hospitals might get more to cover increased PPE needs, but insurance companies do not pay out more for a covid death. Also, coroners are not going to incriminate themselves by recording spurious cause of death.
Listen to any 2 minutes of rally speech from this shitcunt of a man, and there will be yet more lies, can't believe he's in the position he's in.
