    the whole “believe victims” thing is a trap… presenting a false dilemma to disbelieve or believe them….
    but in a reasonable world, a victim’s testimony is evidence but not proof… evidence is enough to investigate and look for proof, and enough witnesses becomes as good as proof.
    when you have someone as powerful as a president, there will always be a lot of liars… it’s just the law of large numbers, so the burden of proof becomes higher.
    also, all reasonable people know that trump is a rapist and a pedophile by now, we just need proof to force people to admit it.
