“If she failed to do so, decided it wasn’t that important, or thought it was no big deal, then I don’t want to hear about it again.”

No one is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to believe what is readily apparent. I have no idea why you cite “due process” as if that has any meaning to this question. I don’t need a court of law to process information.

Something more compelling than “me too” coming from some lady who stood in line at the Minnesota State Fair to get her picture taken with Sen. Franken along with hundreds of other people, none of whom apparently saw Al palm her ass. In an age where we have Project Veritas scouring the Earth looking for something,…

But taking the man’s side in contradictory statements about whether a woman was sexually assaulted will instantly bring forth claims of “women never lie about this” or the more salted-earth “well, if this guy’s reputation is damaged by a false claim, so what, it’s not important.”

Without due process it is exactly that. 

Are you completely incapable on your own of evaluating and assessing contradictory pieces of evidence to come to reasoned conclusions?

Thank you. If it’s not solid enough to be printed in a reputable newspaper (like the Washington Post), it isn’t evidence.

There is no functional difference. You are describing the same set in each case. Even the troglodytes on the right can see that.

Then the men saying “I didn’t do that to her” is also evidence. It’s like we need a place to adjudicate which version of the two conflicting versions of evidence is true. I wonder where we could do that?

I thought the bastard names were meant to follow the father’s house, not where they were born. So Snow was used when it was assumed he was Ned’s son. I’m guessing by Bran saying he was really a “Sand” that Targaryans were traditionally a southern house?

Well, Ned never told anyone about Jon’s mother, he just took responsibility for him as a bastard named Snow. No one knew who his mother was or where he was born, save what Ned told them. So even the fact that Jon was born in Dorne was a secret. (I mean, logistically, someone must have noticed Ned carting a baby all…

Right, but however they work, Bran said “Jon is really a Sand!” like it was some kind of revelation when everyone already knew that he wasn’t born in the North. That’s what was weird.

The bastard name thing is a cute contrivance that doesn’t make a lot of consistent sense when you scrutinize it in the books, either. And everybody already knew Jon was born in the south; Ned had been away from the North for a year at least before returning with a baby. Think of it less like a precisely defined law…
