Donald Trump’s campaign spokesman defended Trump using “vermin” to describe his enemies, while historians compared his language to Hitler, Mousselini.

    I do not like the guy. I’m explaining that beyond a reasonable doubt may be something you feel is appropriate, but it’s not because of the civil suit, because that’s not the standard of evidence in a civil suit.

    I’m comfortable saying he was a rapist way before the civil trial.

      You’re still just repeating and agreeing with everybody else in this thread who’s saying that this is a civil, not a criminal trial. I guess good job if that’s what you’re going for?

      That is correct. This is a civil case. Not a criminal case.

      The jurors, reasonably, do not doubt his liability of rape. The judge, reasonably, does not doubt that Trump is liable of rape.

      You’re just being precious about a term that is not exclusively used in jurisprudence.

      Trump was found liable of rape beyond a reasonable doubt.

        No, you’re being intentionally obtuse and awkwardly stubborn and nobody knows why but you.

        Why use the exact same wording as a legal standard? You could have said “he’s a rapist, without a shadow of a doubt” and we’d have all known what you meant. Instead you decide you’re going to die on this weird ass ambiguous hill.
