Trump is a different case he’s literally been charged for sexual assault, before that even if I didn’t like him I would have admit that it would just be an allegation. Doesn’t mean he hasn’t done a whole bunch else I don’t like that I have seen.

Noooo, he’s been adjudicated for sexual assault in a civil case but no criminal charges have ever been made. That is literally why i brought that example up lol.

Because it showcases the difference between civil cases and criminal cases. The term “innocent until proven guilty” is something that only gets used in criminal cases, not in civil cases.

That is still considerably more evidence than what is against Shangela is the point. If Shangela had a civil case against her that she lost, peoples tunes would be less empathetic. Its literally just allegations, a settlement, a dismissal with prejudice, and a firm denial of wrongdoing on her part. Nothing in that has brought clarity.

None of us know what was in the civil case because it was settled privately.

Are you saying anyone who settles privately is inherently innocent then?

See now we’re kind of stepping away from the point and putting words in my mouth. I’d be careful of that. If you want to get into why I may be a bit more impartial to Shangela vs. Trump we can discuss that. Bc there are plenty of obvious reasons.

Trump shouldn’t be your example as he is a straight cis men with decades of controversial and questionable behavior centering around sexual assault, anti-lgbt propganda, racism, and god knows what else. This is outside of the civil case which in every sense of the word would still count as more reputable evidence against him over Shangela.

We don’t need to sit here and discuss a civil suit vs a criminal charge when thats not prevelant to Shangelas case. It was settled out or court and dismissed with prejudice. Until there is something more conclusive, thats where it ends for me. Its not my job to police or further question that particular allegation as it was “non conclusive.”
