Like children on a playground.

2018-10-20 17:19:49 UTC  

Ridiculous and reductive

2018-10-20 17:20:36 UTC  

Well because conservatives want an investigation

2018-10-20 17:20:41 UTC  

Not presumption of guilt

2018-10-20 17:20:57 UTC  

Everybody wants an investigation

2018-10-20 17:21:04 UTC  

And why not presumption of innocence for international matters?

2018-10-20 17:21:18 UTC  

What changed?

2018-10-20 17:21:38 UTC  

That never existed

2018-10-20 17:22:08 UTC  

But it shows that if given the chance liberals will most likely say they are guilty

2018-10-20 17:22:23 UTC  

This is not about the Constitution

2018-10-20 17:22:31 UTC  

But it is about morality

2018-10-20 17:22:38 UTC  

No, it doesn’t, it shows that people who look at the situation fairly will say: Saudi Arabia probably did it

2018-10-20 17:22:45 UTC  

Presumption of innocence is moral in all situations

2018-10-20 17:22:51 UTC  

Heck no it isn’t

2018-10-20 17:23:14 UTC  

Clarify

2018-10-20 17:23:24 UTC  

Let me think of an example

2018-10-20 17:26:55 UTC  

Ok as an example of a situation in which conservatives ignored presumption of innocence: the invasion of Iraq because we suspected they had weapons of mass destruction. This isn’t an example of when presumption of innocence is immoral (it was moral in this case) but it is an example of conservatives flip flopping on this issue.

2018-10-20 17:27:14 UTC  

Still thinking of a time where presumption of innocence didn’t work on an international scale.

2018-10-20 17:27:48 UTC  

We invaded Iraq because they launched an act of war upon our nation

2018-10-20 17:27:56 UTC  

Which was?

2018-10-20 17:28:02 UTC  

9/11

2018-10-20 17:28:13 UTC  

Those were saudis...

2018-10-20 17:28:42 UTC  

But they had extreme ties to it

2018-10-20 17:28:52 UTC  

And supported terror groups

2018-10-20 17:29:01 UTC

2018-10-20 17:29:12 UTC  

Ok but you realize how ironic that was right

2018-10-20 17:29:24 UTC  

When the ally your defending was the demographic that actually did 9/11

2018-10-20 17:29:33 UTC  

And just murdered a journalist

2018-10-20 17:29:48 UTC  

They just happened to be from Saudi Arabia

2018-10-20 17:29:57 UTC  

Its like if an American commits a crime

2018-10-20 17:30:02 UTC  

It wasn’t the government

2018-10-20 17:30:19 UTC  

True, I’m not saying it was their government, just pointing out your irony

2018-10-20 17:30:36 UTC  

Also in the same vein... it wasn’t the Iraqi government

2018-10-20 17:31:16 UTC  

All I am saying is that we should preserve all allies we have

2018-10-20 17:31:16 UTC  

How about this: the holocaust. Very little was known for a while about what the Germans were doing with their internment camps. Should we have applied the presumption of innocence to them?

2018-10-20 17:31:27 UTC  

We should have done an investigation

2018-10-20 17:31:29 UTC  

Ok so we should preserve Canada and the EU

2018-10-20 17:31:41 UTC  

If they take advantage then no

2018-10-20 17:31:53 UTC  

Saudi Arabia just took advantage in a huge way

2018-10-20 17:32:04 UTC  

Can’t confirm

2018-10-20 17:32:08 UTC  

So instead of stopping the holocaust we should have investigated that...
