Public discourse is now a collective hallucination. The pols decide to act as if the standard is the same as in a criminal trial. The media just parrots the implication. People go around saying "innocent until proven guilty" like fucking puppets.

I noticed this, too. The confirmation process is a goddamn job interview. There is no standard of “innocent until proven guilty” in a job interview anywhere.

If I brought that standard up when I interviewed at any company or role ever, I’d’ve rightfully been laughed out of the room.
