    Ah yes, the mind of Trump.

    A land where truth shall never entire, and instead delusions that bolster his own feelings of worth and intelligence shall run free.

    Like this latest gem from the president.

    Apparently, Trump thinks Kavanaugh was proven innocent. When did this happen? I think the simple answer to that is never, but Trump, who alternates between despotic dictator themes of incarceration for folks who don't kowtow to him and mindless praise him while waxing poetic about the Constitution for those that do, certainly seems to have stated as much.

    Proven innocent. A new imaginary concept by our orange president.

    "Those who step forward to serve our country deserve a fair and dignified evaluation," Trump said, referring to Kavanaugh's vetting process. "Not a campaign of political and personal destruction based on lies and deception. What happened to the Kavanaugh family violates every notion of fairness, decency, and due process."

    Trump said "a man or woman, must always be presumed innocent unless, and until proven guilty."

    "And with that, I must state that you, sir, under historic scrutiny, were proven innocent."

    Trump has never been good with words, but the fact of the matter remains, you are innocent until proven guilty in this country. The left's lynch mobs failed, and there has still been 0 evidence produced from Ford, Creepy Porn Lawyer, or anyone of the other wackos trying to prove Kavanaugh ran a gang bang ring in high school.

    Innocent until proven guilty doesn't matter for Job interviews, my rightist friends.

    Get back to me the next time Kavanaugh is on trial for a criminal matter.

    He is innocent unless someone can prove otherwise. No one has to actually prove their innocence.

    Don't underestimate him. He can be a great orator when he wants to. One of the rare presidents who can actually deliver the whole speech without a teleprompter. This was one of the best speeches ever. The Clintons are criminals, remeber that...

    Speech that Made Trump President


    The speech that inspired millions to vote for donald trump. The speech sums up his views on almost every big issues and also talks about challenges that US of A faces today.

    When the witch hunt, grandstanding, publicity, and multiple FBI investigations we just went thru don't turn up any evidence of guilt, I think it's fair to say he's been proven innocent. Plus that whole "innocent until proven guilty" detail.

    Trump is correct

    Since the screaming liberal mob failed to prove Kavansugh guilty thst means he was innocent

    Which, of course, is moving the goalposts to support the lies of Trump.

    Trump, orange god to some, clearly stated, very ****ing clearly, that Kavanaugh was "proven innocent". That is simply not true.

    I think that is nothing more than, again, moving the goalposts to support the lies of Trump.

    Doesn't mean the interviewer is obligated to listen to unsubstantiated claims either

    Moving what goal posts exactly? Innocent until proven guilty is about as firm of a goal post as there can be in this country.

    Kavanaugh was proven innocent

    The burden of proof is on the accuser

    And the accuser had no evidence

    In fact every person Ford named at the party disputed her version of events

    Trump is moving the goal posts of somehow the hearings were a criminal trial. Horse crap.

    A gutting rebuke, a string of shitty insults, I assume from one who praises Der Orange God.

    "Those who step forward to serve our country deserve a fair and dignified evaluation,"

    Hmmm...by his own definition, those deserving a fair and dignified evaluation should include Lyin' Ted, little Marco, Pocohontas, crooked Hillary, low IQ Maxine Waters, slimey Comey, Jeff Flakey and sneaky Diane Feinstein.

    Hard to take his words too seriously when he's shown the maturity of a middle schooler when referring to people who have stepped forward to serve their country. Politics will always have contentiousness, but it should be above name calling those who oppose you.

    That is simply not true.

    You are repeating a Trump lie.

    Effective demagogue is not the same thing as great orator. He’s good at stirring up emotions without actually saying anything concrete.

    Isn’t this thread literally about the concept of innocent unless proven guilty? :cool:
