Dear me SP you are genuinely obsessed, you literally can’t let any of this slide especially if I post up a reply or something to anyone on here, you literally post on everything I say apart from the milling stuff, not normal or healthy. 

Ok just google it and choose whichever outlet you prefer.

It wasn't the content, just picking up on the irony that about 3 posts before JohnsonD was saying how the BBC are scandal ridden... and then posts a link to the BBC itself! Got to pick and choose, either it is a reputable source for the news or it isn't. My thought is that it generally is.

The irony for you, if you even bothered to read the brief article. NOT raped

[Steven P]

I did read the article, the ruling was based on a very narrow legal term. Read it last night, so might be off a little, the judge was quoted something along the lines of Trumps actions would be considered rape in normal language, but legally where the definition is more tightly defined not so.

 

Even so with or without the narrow legal definition... do his crimes somehow get discounted because he is a billionaire, ex president and president elect or should we act as if he is a bloke living down the street. I think justice should be a level playing field - and if there was a rapist, sex abuser and all the rest living in the street, popping into the pub none of us would be cosying up to them saying "your great" would we?

[GarethM]

Well in legal parlance, NOT raped.

 

And he didn't need a presidential pardon for all the drugs,money, firearms and other shenanigans a certain someone's son got upto.

No but then you cannot proclaim someone innocent because there is another out there also doing dodgy things though can you?

 

"He was a bad man until that other man did this and now he is not a bad man, the stuff he did is no longer a matter for the record"?

 

One thing this thread is missing though, no one apart from me it seams is thinking what would 'we' think if the crims he committed were done be a neighbour? Would he still be defended?

You are aware how law is supposed to work, it's all about technicalities and meeting said definition to be guilty.

 

You can't say he's a murder because he once ate a beef burger, because in a loose definition of your logic.

 

That cow died for the burger ergo he's a murder.

Gareth, could you answer a direct question without going down an unintelligible, meandering path of obfuscation.

 

Personally I come to one conclusion. If any man, however much I agreed with their political stance, sporting prowess, or business acumen, thought it was fine to be grabbing some woman by the kitten or creeping around trying to perv on or manipulate young women, or is associating with peodophiles, I'm done.

 

The last one I met in real life (the archetypal creepy uncle at a wedding) was invited to a quiet corner while it was explained what was acceptable behaviour around my mates daughter.

 

Regardless of semantics around the law, proof of one thing over another, they've displayed a complete lack of morality and that is how I'll judge them, on their unacceptable behaviour.

 

I found that very easy.

Firstly actually ask a bloody question before you head off into diatribe of nothingness.

 

Yet you all seem very quiet about biden and his long career of dodge and money making.

 

Donald might be bad, but jebus biden and those enabling his tenure as the senile old fool could barely wipe his own arse let alone find his way out the portaloo.
