read again, i said he had multiple credible rape allegations against him (and listed several other items, like having unprotected sex with women while his wife was pregnant, walking into teenagers (!) dressing rooms to see them naked, endorsing a child molester for governor, his friendship with epstein... which you largely ignored for some reason) to illustrate how unprecedentedly low the 'morality' bar for an american president currently is - and even provided a link with plenty of other sources listed to support those claims.
you now pretending i positively claimed he raped people, and would therefore have to proof that beyond any doubt, is idiotic, and a textbook strawman. do i think it's likely he did, based on the statements made, and the settlements and silencing of women in those cases? yes, absolutely, it's a conclusion i think most reasonable people would come to, given the totality of his behaviour and comments regarding women, but of course it's not proof in a legal sense. that shouldn't be the standard for a president though, should it?
concerning biden, if those allegations are as credible as those made against kavanaugh for examples, it should end his campaign imo. you suggesting i'd demonise someone speaking out against him is laughable. if anything, i'd be biased AGAINST biden, who i consider to be a terrible candidate, and the embodiment of the corrupt washington establishment.
all i'm saying is that it would be highly hypocritical of trump supporters of all people to demand an investigation or attack him for this, given their uncritical support for someone so much worse. it does, however, not follow that i don't want this allegation properly investigated, or even would reject any evidence that'd hurt him - it's pretty clear you're projecting there. maybe read my posts from before you got triggered by me pointing out the double standards of trumptards.
but hey, he just 'hired a hooker' once, right? hack.
bold 1:
i addressed Trump walking through pageants during changing hours in my previous posts. perhaps you forgot to read my posts, but that was the one i agreed with you on.
unprotected sex isn't rape. i'm not saying the allegation you make is true or not because most of the claims were blown out of proportion. but it's dumb enough that i don't care.
endorsing a child molester for governor? where do you even mention this? or what are you even mentioning?
Trump's "friendship" with Epstein is extremely blown out of proportion, and evidenced nearly everywhere that isn't a twitter picture. i also somewhat addressed this through one of the quotes in the articles i listed.
bold 2: i've also just addressed Kavanaugh on the previous page. in short though. if Biden's allegations are "as credible" as Kavanaugh's accuser's, there would be a large lack of credibility for many of them. but again, i'll state that does not apply to all of them.
just i.e. though

One of Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh’s accusers admitted this week that she made up her lurid tale of a backseat car rape, saying it “was a tactic” to try to derail the judge’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.
Sen. Charles E. Grassley, chairman of the Judiciary Committee revealed the fraud in a letter to the FBI and Justice Department Friday, asking them to prosecute Judy Munro-Leighton for lying to and obstructing Congress.

ummm... it doesn't have to be a pattern to be disqualifying IF true. i mean, at least it should be for a democrat. that republicans don't care about decency and family values, and that they really don't mind rapists in powerful positions, is well established of course...
that said, given the crazy standards trump set in that regard there shouldn't be a single cultists who seriously wants a proper investigation of this, and given how overwhelming covid-19 is as an issue, he might just get away with it - which is awful. crazy times really...
