Thats funny. In another context you'll be asking why cant men just believe women.
Really? Show me any post of mine in any context where i ever said that?
I cleary did not say that you said that. My remark is about what my expectations of you are since you're so woke and have a tendency to be hypocritical and inconsistent when it suites you.

I dont know whether she's the same woman or not, nor do I care (look it up yourself).
It is.
I dont accept that sorry. I would have to look at it myself but at this stage Im not going to waste my time dredging through the history since, amongst other things, I dont think it detracts too much from her story, notwithstanding the big hoopla you gave to the issue because you have your political axe to grind. If you post a link that makes it clear Im prepared to accept that but frankly I couldnt care less

There are so many unproved allegations of sexual misconduct against politicians they are no longer a basis on which I form an opinion about any politician including Trump, especially when you consider how both major tribes of politics will exaggerate, lie and misrepresent the strength of such allegations to benefit their side of politics.
thats just being naive ... whilst not always, many times you can make a reasonable assumption based on the evidence as it stands. Keep in mind congress is full of politicians from all sides who spend all day thinking of nothing but how best to cover their arse. Surely someone in congress at the time would have some record of it if they received a complaint about a congressman digitally raping a woman? What about the republicans in congress at the time? After all, Biden was a democrat ..... And yet no record of it can be found and no republican from the time has come forward to say they recall it happening. Like I said it sounds suss to me. Does that mean she's absolutely lying? We can never know for sure ... but it certainly looks like it to me.
And thats the point. I think your aside of politics is so irrational about Trump and his alleged sexual miscondict that you cant make a reasonable assessment of whats true or not and nor do you care IMO. Its just about getting Trump. And are you saying that the allegations against trump aren't also riddled with curious inconsistencies and unlikelihoods. From recollection one of the ladies who alleged Harvey Weinstein raped her sent him a text the next day saying something like "had a great time, looking forward to us getting together again".Something like that. You can check it out for yourself. Regardless of that Im betting your convinced Weinstein was guilty because thats the result your side of politics wanted. In most cases these are things that go back many years rendering most such allegations inherently unreliable. Thats why both sides can so easily pick and choose what they say they believe and what they say they dont believe according to their political objectives. And IMO the Anti Trumpers are by far the worst.

(I think Greggory is a very good example of what people do. He will represent every claim of sexual misconduct against Trump as proved
Bullshit ... Unlike you, Greg has always been careful to use the term 'alleged rapist' when discussing trump
And Bullshit back to you. In fact I recall picking up Gregory on precisely this a few months ago. I wont be bothered looking for it because its not worth my time but if he wants to or you want to please go ahead.

My reasons for disliking Trump and Biden have nothing to do with the respective allegations of sexual misconduct against them.
But it should .... NO ONE who cannot respect woman should ever lead the country, any country.
Yeah yeah, not interested in this one sided woke childish crap.We all constantly disrespect each other and disrespect each others sex and our own sex. Women are not worthy of any special consideration on this issue than anyone else and anyone who says otherwise is a sexist.

I regard them both as equally dispicable and capable of doing the things alleged against them but Im also weary that women are notorious liars when it comes to claims of sexual misconduct against men.
I am fully aware that some women lie. That doesn't mean they all lie. You are supposed to look at the evidence and form an opinion based on what you know. In trumps case, many of the allegations were made long before he ever entered the political arena. In those cases it was never about politics.
Was it about money (he says he's rich), morning after regret, blackmail, appeasing a husband or a lover, revenge. Women have a multitude of reasons for lying about men's alleged sexual misconduct. And just because it was not political for them then, it doesnt mean its not now being talked up by anti Trumpers for political reasons. Thats why I usually stay away from this BS because both sides are liars.
