Im not sure we are saying different things. But maybe we are. You are saying that I am conflating legal terms with pedestrian terms (whatever that means).
I think that rape is a legal standard, period.
Creep, predator, advancing rape culture, etc., not legal standards.
But I do not think you can call someone a rapist until they are proven guilty. This obviously is not the case if you personally witnessed or experienced said rape.
So applying that standard to what I’ve mentioned, do you disagree? Do you think it’s cool to call someone a rapist that hasn’t been proven guilty of rape?
And following that logic, call someone a rapist supporter for saying they think someone is innocent, of rape, until proven guilty?

How can y'all take someone serious who ONLY posts in the Political Thread for months straight.

didn’t witness when this whole thing initially started. It’s important to give him a clear picture of what actually happened.You didn’t just say you think someone is innocent until proven guilty. You were adamant that anyone who dared to have opinions about Roy Moore and the alleged victims were in support of eroding due process.
You continue to compare people that have thoughts about the situation to Donald Trump calling for the execution of the Central Park Five.

Having an opinion on the Roy Moore accusations and calling Roy Moore a rapist are different. Calling me a rapist supporter as a result doesn’t even make sense.
I don’t bring up the Central Park 5 comparison, others do when they post that Bring Back the Death Penalty article. That same logic—of presuming someone guilty until they prove themselves innocent—is illustrated in the Central Park 5 case. And, as I’ve stated, that erosion of due process doesn’t typically work out too well for people that look like me.

. Yet you are never in threads where the due process rights of people that look like you are discussed. Do you look like Roy Moore?

Yeah, the numbers are little different from the 2016 numbers. Job creation for the year came in a tad under that of 2016. GDP and wage growth not much different than when Obama left office. The sacred labor participation rate is up a smidge since 2016, and economists are projecting a GDP growth of 1.5 % in 2020.
In 2016 these numbers were tepid. Today they are booming...

I remember when labor participation rate was the one thing that mattered to Pubs under Obama
da U3 is a fake number, da fact that your citing "talking points" basically concedes that da real numbers are in da crapper.

So now we've circled back to the notion that a civilian can't have an opinion on someone's guilt unless there's a criminal conviction (or unless it happened to you or you personally witnessed it)—they have to believe that someone is innocent until it's decided in a court that they're not.
This is not what you've stated just recently in your own posts and, again, the entire premise is preposterous on its face. So I can't answer your question because you're being inconsistent in a way that precludes any common understanding of the parameters of the topic being discussed.

Yeah, this thread moves so fast and depending on what's happening in my life I might not be in here for a week or two at a time. And then the waters are so muddied at this point that it's tough to even ascertain what exactly is being discussed sometimes. That's what I was trying to do in this recent exchange, is try to at least clarify how things have been muddied to try to cut through the ********. Although I realize this is a rather Herculean task given the circumstancesI’m gonna assume that

Haven’t too much thought about it. So I guess I don’t mind.
Have you ever stayed at a Trump property? Politics aside, they are nice and priced like other similarly-situated hotels

DWalk got money to stay at Trump properties but needed a tax cuts to afford a rental property.
Sounds like someone looking for a government handout instead of pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps.

Seems I’d logically care more if the taxes were increased.
As to your answer, you should certainly try the Trump Hotel in Chicago.

Affording rental properties has nothing to do with the tax cuts... but you know that.
The issue with that was/is the barriers due to older white people being grandfathered in and allowed to rent units whereas newer buyers are restricted from renting under the relevant HOAs.
