I'm not personally all in on ACAB or anything, but the very obvious difference is that people choose to be cops but can't choose to be black.

His term has been wildly productive and done more good than any president in my lifetime.

But he's also taking the exact wrong stance on Israel right now, combined with the typical democrats being fucking garbage at messaging, and the media helping Trump every step of the way.

No, it isn't.

If there was a frame of her saying no, but then he doesn't leave her alone, then sure.

It happens every single time the discussion of false rape accusations happen; hell even one of my close friends has the same experience and reacts the same way.

Any remote implication that an accused sexual assault perpetrator might not be guilty is just bombarded with stories like that, that their abuser wasn't found guilty and that by daring to accept the fact that sometimes it actually is false, we're directly attacking them and their experience.

complete bullshit.

The court of public opinion is a powerful thing, and there, you will always be assumed guilty. Even if acquitted in court, and even if the accuser admitted it was a lie, a lot of the time the only thing people will see when googling you (such as prospective employers as one example) will see the news of the accusation, and then stop looking further.

Yeah so the guy who spent 6 years in jail for doing nothing should just keep suffering because you suffered too?

I'm sorry for what you went through, nobody should ever need to, but that doesn't give you the right to demand random other people also suffer just to make you feel better. Their lives matter too.

Not only is what you're saying obviously correct, but THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED IN THE FUCKING AMENDMENT was asked about this exact lack of the word "president", and pointed to the officer line, and said that clearly included the president.

It's also worth noting that there was just a single reference in the Senate debate to the fact that the president and vice president were not explicitly mentioned in Howard's draft as "officer(s) of the United States," the way members of Congress and state officials had been itemized in the text. Would the disqualification clause of the amendment not cover the top posts in the executive branch?

"Why did you omit to exclude them?" asked Maryland Democratic Sen. Reverdy Johnson.

Maine's Lot Morrill jumped in to clarify.

"Let me call the Senator's attention to the words 'or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States,'" Morrill said, ending the discussion on that point.

Only one of the two parties actively campaigns on hurting people. It's not a difficult choice.
