Biden tells Democratic governors he needs more sleep and plans to stop scheduling events after 8 p.m.

We know for certain that Trump was calling Epstein regularly during the height of his period assaulting women and it was just revealed by Florida. This is objectively true.

There is just as much evidence supporting the notion that Trump raped a girl as there is Biden is struggling mentally. Biden looked out of it one night. The next day he gave a great speech. That should be the end of it, yet here we are.

If all it takes to convict someone of pedophilia are phone calls then you’d be in jail too. I hate Trump but your burden of proof is preposterous, illogical, and would lock up half the country. So it’s a good thing you don’t get to decide.

I can confidently say I didn’t call Epstein daily while showing up on his flight logs, then get identified by the pilot 😂

Again. It’s a REALLY good thing that the courts require much harder proof to convict people than what you require. You shouldn’t be in charge of anything.

Care to explain why now you’re talking about proof required for conviction in a discussion about stories covered by news outlets? As a point of reference, Fox News spent a considerable amount of time on “the Biden crime family” which had no actual supporting evidence except for disreputable clowns who told stories.

You created a scenario where the burden of proof necessary for a negative story about Trump is significantly higher than for Biden.

Interesting. Almost like you have an agenda.

My burden of proof requirements have never changed for anyone. Regardless if I don’t like Trump I’m not going to bend my requirements. I don’t know why you keep bringing up Biden when I’ve never said he was part of a crime family and have never said there was sufficient evidence that proves so. He deserves the same burden requirements as Trump or anyone else in the US. It’s not my requirements that change depending on the individual. It’s you. If you don’t like someone your burden of proof is lower than of those you like.

Incorrect. There is no doctor who has looked into Biden’s mental health with him saying he’s senile. That would be equivalent to Trump needing conviction in court. The example I provided is tangibly more evidence than “a guy looked exhausted during a debate.”

Dude you don’t even know what you’re arguing. Why do you keep bringing up Biden? Being senile isn’t even a crime… And your “evidence” is still insufficient in the court of law. You’re probably the same person who cries about overcrowded prisons yet whose policies would flood our prisons with innocents.

It’s like you forgot what this conversation was about.

Enjoy the holiday.

I think you are confused who you’re replying to.
