    Agreed.

    My comment is on the hypocrisy of the comment section under this post.

    I’m simply pointing out you can’t have it both ways, you can’t trust the legal system to convict Trump who I sincerely believe committed those crimes. And then not trust it to acquit Kevin Spacey.

    There has to be some kind of standard here right?

    Either you distrust the legal system entirely or you take it at face value because it’s all we have in the United States.

    But simply agreeing with something because it conveniently fits your narrative be it true or not is not a helpful position to be in.

    Moreover Trump being one of the most powerful and Rich individuals in the world was convicted of rape in the United States Court and Kevin Spacey who’s just an actor was acquitted doesn’t that lend more Credence to Kevin spacey’s innocence?

      Kevin spacey is the last person I’d call innocent, what with the distinct number of people that go against him get involved in mysterious fatal…accidents

      And his ‘I’m back’ and ‘kill them with kindness’ videos

      Its also a false dichotomy to say that a legal system such as America’s is going to treat trump and spacey the same way and ‘they can’t acquit one and convict the other when they both did the same crime’ They went up against VERY different courts under distinctly different circumstances (despite both of them diddling kids)
