    I don't pick a "team" and let that guide my rulings. The color of hat someone wears is not evidence of guilt or innocence.

    Underage girls?

    DO NOT fucking tell me you assbags are exaggerating a statutory case involving someone who is 17 years, 364 days old.

    It picked you when you lapped their bullshit off the ground like chocolate sauce.
    Everyone sees it but you.
    It's almost tragic.
    Almost.
    But you're such a pain in the ass.

    I used to insist I didn't have a type either, but eventually people that have known me for years pointed it out and I couldn't deny it anymore. :shrug:

    I think you're missing my point.
    You asked about convictions. Okay. Why?
    Why were you invested enough to step in and say "Hey now, we can't call this guy a rapist, okay?"
    You did the same thing with Trump, adamantly pointing out he's not a convicted rapist, just a civilly liable one.
    And yet, when it came to the subway choking incident, you were absolutely adamant the choker had done nothing wrong. And with very little knowledge of the incident to boot (You didn't know, for instance, that pretty much the woke incident was on video).
    So I'm wondering where the difference is.

    Are you referring to Matt Gaetz or yourself?
    If the former -
    So... we're exaggerating our disgust with a man in his 30s paying for sex with a high school student? Is that what you're saying?
    Are you saying we shouldn't be so hard on Matt Gaetz for having sex with an underage high school girl? Is that what you are saying? Cause it sure looks like that is what you are saying. And your own exaggeration of her age says a lot about you. Cause guess what? "She was almost 18!" doesn't carry any weight in court for a 30-year-old.

    UA thinks we won't notice him shitting blood at the thought of "someone who is 17 years, 364 days old" reading a book their parents haven't approved in one thread while he attempts to minimize that same someone getting statutory raped by a sitting congressman in this one. :marathon:

    Since @Steal Your Face gets all his news from YouTube, here's this:

    With a very clear explanation of Gaetz's crimes, his victims, the investigations, and why things happened the way they did.
    So now, FG, when you ask "what evidence", there's a convenient place where it's explained in a way even you can understand.
    This goes for @Uncle Albert too, since he's also a big defender of this loveable lug.

    Factual accuracy.

    I didn't say that, you lying piece of rat shit. I'll not answer for your distortions.

    Adamant nothing. Factual accuracy. Stop editorializing.

    By all accounts he acted on an imminent threat. The only quibbling is over how long the choke hold was applied. To which I respond that this is what you get when you ignore the problem and leave it to random citizens to deal with. A nuance that is somehow eluding you.

    No, you are PRETENDING not to know, and supplying your own bullshit answers when you feel like it.

    No, I'm saying you are either a convicted rapist, or an ACCUSED rapist. Your feelings are irrelevant.

    You can be as outraged as you like, but your emotions are not facts, and pointing out that reality does not amount to a defense of any particular individual.

    And yet you have very strong feelings when certain people are referred to as rapists without "ACCUSED* being added. But not everyone, I never saw you defending Joe Biden as only an accused rapist. Now that I think about it, you never add ACCUSED to the various insults you fling around here, despite none of them being proven in a court of law. I wonder why. :bergman:

    Evidence?

    If he wasn't convicted, then he is merely accused.

    The more you post about a topic the more you care about said topic. You can claim that's not true, but we don't see you posting about soybean tariffs or the next Calgary municipal election. :shrug:
    How come you had to be prompted to say that about Biden but required no prompting in relation to Gaetz? What's the difference? :bergman:

    You are desperate to see something that isn't there.

    Were ypu screechy twats shitting up every thread with "Biden is a rapist" every other fuckin post? Did it ever occur to you that I might just be replying to what I see? Of course not.

    Jesus, UA is REALLY going to the mat for Matt Gaetz.
    His Youtubers must be telling him to.
    They aren't GOP shills though.

    No you're not. Look at your originating quote. Us "assbags" were exaggerating a statutory case where a guy in his 30s fucked a high school girl. According to you. Nothing about being a convicted rapist.

    What outrage? I'm asking you to specify what you mean. Because it looks like you're saying a person shouldn't be considered a rapist if he "only" fucks a 17 year old junior in high school.

    Partly right. I'm pretending not to know in order to get you to admit it. I know it's fucking weird that you are repeatedly arguing that we can't technically, factually call Trump or Gaetz rapists. I know you want to emphasize we should only call them "accused" rapists. And I'm pretty sure I know why you feel that way.

    Reminds me of the classic moment in Stripes when Harold Ramsis' character is talking with the recruiter and is like, "No, never CONVICTED."

    Anyway, there is IMO a big difference between someone where it is a he-said, she-said situation like any number of cases of politicians and non one could name, and one where there is no conviction but there is ample publicly displayed evidence of financial transactions, sworn testimony and admissions of sexual relationships.

    Yes, there is not an official finding by a jury of Gaetz's peers. But there is certainly enough info out there for a reasonable person to come to the conclusion that he paid for sex and drugs or that he was just very generous with people he was dating.

    In Trump’s case he is isn’t just an accused rapist but he is an adjudicated rapist.

    Similar to how OJ is an adjudicated murderer.

    Agreed. When your own party is publicly asking why the hell you haven't been prosecuted, the "I never got my day in court!" argument goes up in smoke.

    Yeah, I don't care you all that much. But it's pretty obvious once it's pointed out.
    You have the fourth highest post count on the board, and the "Biden is a rapist" stuff did indeed spill into a bunch of different threads back in 2020.

    Also: obviously UA is under no obligation to say Biden was merely accused of sexual assault in general or to avoid possible hypocrisy or partisanship, or allegations of those things. Hell, maybe he thought it went without saying in Biden's case since there wasn't a mob forming for his ouster from the race or as much press coverage. Maybe he thought that unlike [fill-in-the-blank] the allegation was true in Biden's case and so even though he hasn't and won't be convicted, it's OK to not point that it is a mere accusation.

    But if he's suggesting that the reason he didn't ever point out that Biden was merely accused of rape because he just never came across that topic on the board, well...that I'm not buying for a dollar.

    Tererune singlehandedly posted about Reade's allegations in numerous threads. A superficial search shows Reade came up by name not just in the 2020 Presidential election thread, but also at the Defund the Police thread. I'm pretty sure there was at least one specific thread about Reade's allegations, and I'm thinking that there was a discussion about how it showed that the liberal media was in the take for Biden. Might have been in its own thread or part of one of the ones discussed.

    I suppose it's possible that UA, ubiquitous presence on the board missed all these discussions at the time. But that's not where I'd put my money if I were to bet on it.

    Yeah, it really has the same energy as those Republican senators saying they hadn't had time to look over Trump's nutbag tweets when asked about them.
