Short answer: no.
Long answer: nooooo.
Real long answer: there's as much evidence of foul play as when Reagan died or my grandpa.

Hey... don't be harsh, he is lawyer.. The one field of study where you can just memorise text and then feel smart...
Oh, and under the anglosaxon system you also need to persuade a jury of randomly selected clueless puppets... ...

I believe the police would need the approval of the family without clear signs of foul play. They might need to get it even if it is clear there is a crime, I’m not sure.

I mean its not like everyone who supported bill cosby said the exact same things about the women who accused him.

What if t_d writers read this post?
In half a hour you will find a new post on reddit reporting that you just confirmed that Reagan and your grandpa were both murdered by HRC.
You should be more responsible with your posts!

You just called everyone in the thread stupid and that was how you jumped into this thread. If you are looking for improving posting quality, you are not helping.
As for being self aware, I try to be. I’m not perfect. But I also don’t jump into the Legion thread and say it is garbage, so I feel like I might be ahead of the game.

“What would the world be like without Captain Hook?”
Ok, if all of Xdaunt’s insults were framed like Captain Hook yelling at his crew for having poor form and the proper ways to do combat, I would be way more into it.

Speaking of self awareness, no one likes being lectured from somoene who pops in and presents themselves to be speaking a position of maturity and poise, then proceeds to just blanket criticize whomever the feel like from above without actually being a part of the conversation.
Your "y'all are all stupid" bit as true as it might be says more about you than what it says about everyone else.
Thats what made him think blanks needed filling.

With less than a month to go until Election Day, a Trump adviser told Bloomberg "we're gonna go buck wild."
The goal, according to Bloomberg, is for the Trump campaign to suppress the vote of millennial women, who they believe will be unable to vote for the Hillary Clinton after their case is made against her husband.
The campaign said it would soon bring forward additional, new accusers.
"Women are coming to us who have been groped or sexually abused by Bill Clinton," a senior adviser said.
Deputy campaign manager David Bossie, known for running Citizens United, told Bloomberg that Trump's campaign now had the "opportunity to introduce new material into the campaign to educate voters on how they treat women."
On Thursday, one of Trump's biggest backers, Fox News personality Sean Hannity, will host an hourlong special on the network with the three women who appeared alongside Trump before Sunday's presidential debate.

I feel like regarding sexual assault and rape accusations that you either have to believe them all or believe none of them when they remain just accusations. It would be highly biased to say just Trump or just Bill Clinton is (not) guilty of those crimes without saying the other is also (not) guilty
|
I'd rather argue with xDaunt than with the likes of Biology Major, IPN and Zeo. At least there is something to argue about. In too many cases we see trumpers just bend reality mid argument when their previous fantasy world gets deconstructed, and ignore altogether what doesn't suit them.
That and the conspiracy theories. Lots and lots of really dumb conspiracy theories.
We love you xDaunt, stay around!!

No.. because of a few reasons. One of them being evidence.
Trump and Bill could both be horrible human beings and rapists, but that doesnt mean one is a rapist because the other is a rapist.

Bill didn't publicly confess, for what it's worth. Trump's guilt doesn't exist in isolation, he's bragged on record about how he likes to sexually assault women.

I quite specifically did not call anyone dumb. I said the thread had been dumb (which I'm sure any rational person will agree on). I'm actually quite convinced the vast majority of people in this thread are pretty smart people, but the tempers run high resulting in what is either a complete lack of respect or willful impaired reading comprehension. I've observed that it usually helps to call this out, so I'm fairly certain that I am in fact helping.
If you are serious about being self-aware, please go read the last 50 posts you've made in this thread and carefully consider how you are positively contributing to a good debating-environment (hint, your one-liners aren't helping).
@Rebs: See above as an answer to your post as well. I'm not going to pretend to be infallible (I'm not), but as a non-participant but follower of this thread, I'm able to tell when it goes to complete shit. You can call this lecturing if you want, but shooting the messenger was never really the best idea.

To be fair once you hit 70 your life expectancy is a fair bit past 79 (quick google says 85). All those pesky men and minorities die off before then.
That said there's no real reason to suspect anything happened, his doctor would have to testify and his family would need to let his records get released.

Like I said, when they remain as just accusations, not backed up by any evidence
