Good grief! That's *exactly* what @DaisyDay just wrote.

Presumption of innocence is a *legal principle* that is it applies to *legal proceedings* like trials. It doesn't apply outside of the court system.

It is all about the burden of proof. To convict someone the government must *prove* they are guilty to get a conviction, and it is not up to defendant to *prove* they are innocent to avoid conviction.
Of course it applies outside the court system

Donald J. Trump was "Accused" of Russia collusion, if a person relied on the liberal democratic MSM he was 100% guilty, and it was repeated daily

John Durham investigated the scope of Muellers investigation, and all contributing factors, the criminal treasonous rogue players were everybody but Donald J. Trump

Hillary Clinton, DNC, FBI James Comey, Peter Strzok, Andy McCabe, Lisa Paige, and a whole bunch more

Kyle Rittenhouse was accused of 1st degree murder, and once again the liberal MSM claimed over and over again he was guilty, and he was acquitted of his alleged crimes by a jury

Innocent until proven guilty

Then it is an expression of your opinion.

By that standard, it can be said that Biden is guilty of treason. And there would be no ramifications.
No, by that standard, you can claim that you think Biden is guilty and you can say why if you are reasonable.

Biden would be guilty if he actually did something treasonous.

Did you think people were stating it as if they thought it was established fact?

I thought they were innocent until proven guilty? My look at those goal posts fly on by.

It is the only concrete comment there is -innocent until proven guilty- and it attempts to negate any evidence and past guilty pleas by sticking to this line of thought. The more we interact with the thought the more it is used to defend. The argument is pointless to discuss.

Pretty hard to be found guilty, when nobody will charge and prosecute the criminals below, it's a two tiered system of injustice, the crony club, better known as the Banana Republic

So it falls in line with most of the "discussion" going on this board. :p

Exactly. We are fooling ourselves to believe otherwise. The real fun starts with an actual conviction (or ruling of guilt)- because that is when the real denial begins.

People say that and worse all day long on social media. What possible ramifications would there be? Other than people saying that's not factually true.

I'm curious what crimes those "criminals" committed?

Hillary Clinton, it was stated by law enforcement that it would be difficult to get any type of conviction. Trump's DoJ appeared to also believe that as, despite being frequently told by Trump to bring charges against her, they never did. So I'm not sure what law you believe she should have been convicted for?

As for the rest, what laws -- specifically -- did they break? Why didn't Special Prosecutor Durham ever indict them, much less find any evidence they had broken the law?

Opinion. Just like when the "Lock her up" crowd touts Hillary as guilty without a trial or barks about Obama's birth certificate.

If you work for XYZ company. And the company is one I don’t like because it brings out the worst of a political party I identify with.

Accusations are made and I call you a shill a liar and a thief, when you have not been con I text of any of those.

That is not opinion, it is slander.

It was the members of the Veritas Project who fired O'Keefe and accused him of spending money he should have not spent.


"In a statement released later Monday, the group's board of directors said it had uncovered "financial malfeasance" and accused O'Keefe of spending "an excessive amount of donor funds in the last three years on personal luxuries."

I guess Project Veritas board of Directors are Slanderous people!
