    That’s a wall of text that says you can’t disprove it you just distrust a random singer less than the Nazi in the white house. Genius position, hope it works out for you.

      I don’t trust known liars like Elon Musk or Azealia Banks, so don’t put words in my mouth. You taking gossip from a “random singer” seriously because Grimes ignored it is a “genius position”, hope it works out for you.

        I didn’t take advice. I said I wouldn’t doubt it. there’s evidence to suggest it’s true. You seem to be the one outright ignoring someone because you don’t trust them, so yeah genius position.

        Ps, you’re taking gossip too you dirty gossip girl, in fact you linked to it as though it were somehow evidence.

          Yes, I distrust claims from people who are untrustworthy, including Elon Musk and Azealia Banks. You should too.

          Azealia Banks saying something on Twitter is not “evidence”.

              Unsubstantiated gossip from a habitual liar is not evidence. Saying “yes it is” however firmly will not change that fact.

                It is evidence detective, it’s not “good” evidence in your mind which is called an opinion since you don’t seem to understand that either.

                Evidence (2)

                one who bears witness

                https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/evidence

                The result is that third parties can be subpoenaed and then served virtually anywhere in the United States; they can be made to show up for depositions and produce documents, and they can be called to give evidence at trial. Third-party testimony is a core element of civil litigation.

                  Since you’re quoting legal definitions, you should learn that rumors are hearsay, and hearsay is inadmissible as evidence.

                    It absolutely is there are hearsay rules both federally and at the state level that determine what weight to give hearsay. Criminal law is different, but even then hearsay can be admissable, it just isn’t by default.

                    Federal rules of evidence basically 801 to 807, 803, 805 and 807 (?) are specific exemptions. Notably in civil court they’d object to hearsay and the resolution is to call the person who is claimed to have said or done whatever as a witness and get their testimony making it no longer hearsay.
