For those of you who were insisting that no one says "believe all women"...well, this sure looks like they do.[/quote]

I would even say Biden believes more women than the hypocrites on this website do.[/quote]

Since when does “presume she’s telling the truth” equate to “believe all women, regardless”?

Top pp, is English your native language? [/quote]

Ok, I'll bite.  What do YOU think Biden was saying in this quote?  What qualifier is present in his statement?[/quote]

Yes, I'd like to know this to.  What is this imaginary qualifier that the PP is insisting Biden added?  [/quote]

What he actually said didn’t fit in the headline. It indeed has qualifiers. Shall I bold them for you?

Biden added, “For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to [b]start off with the presumption[/b] that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time. But nobody fails to understand that this is like jumping into a cauldron.”

So in other words, believe all women.  Got it.  Thanks for proving the point.[/quote]

Boy you’re dumb. In what world does “start off with the presumption” translate to [b]“believe all women no matter of the evidence says otherwise[/b]”?[/quote]

"Start off with the presumption" means "assume that it happened".  So, he is saying "assume that it happened" at the beginning, BEFORE even considering evidence.  There is no evidence when you are "starting off".  It has to be investigated, remember?

DP.  Um, a presumption can be refuted or overcome.  Think about the presumption of innocence in our criminal justice system - do you think no one can be convicted of a crime because prosecutors can’t review evidence or present it to a jury?  A presumption is just where you start unless/until there is evidence that leads you to conclude otherwise.  Personally, I feel that the evidence that’s been made publicly available to date is sufficient to overcome the presumption that Reade is telling the truth.[/quote]
