Yeah, and my point is that's a stupid fucking point. Sexual assault charges are notoriously difficult to get convictions on, even when they're not against wealthy, powerful celebrities. 15 young men accused Spacey, and he was aquitted of assaulting less than half of them in the London trial. 25 women accused Trump, none of them even got a criminal trail, and only one of them was able to get a civil verdict in her favor. You're comparing two men who were both accused by dozens of people of sexual assault and both faced almost no consequences under the justice system, and then saying, "tHeSe ArE tHe oPpOsItE, dOuBlE sTaNdArD mUcH???????"

If you want to be this simplistic, you could also apply this to the Matrix, Die Hard, at least 3 Star Wars films, most od the James Bond series, and basically every action movie made between 1991 and 1999.

I mean, it's the one time he's guaranteed to not be named in a sexual assault case, so why not?

Because Trump is a convicted rapist... Spacy was aquitted.

Mostly incorrect. Trump is not a convicted rapist. He had been accused of rape and sexual assault numerous times, but has never faced trial. He was found civilly liable of raping Jean E. Carroll after the criminal statute of limitations expired.

Kevin Spacey was aquitted of legal charges in England and found not civilly liable in New York, but in Los Angeles he could not be charged because of the statute of limitations. In Nantucket, the prosecutor dropped the charges against Spacey after the main accuser refused to testify. In 2019, three Spacey accusers abruptly died, one of whom was in the middle of a civil trial against Spacey.

Yeah, a lot of people keep telling me, "Oh, the MAGA cult will just believe whatever he tells them," and sure, some of them will, but others only go along with it because they're convinced Trump is about to expose the, "deep-state cabal." They have a fictional Trump in their head that they will protect at all costs, even from real-world Trump. (...and then they'll probably claim that real-world Trump is a cloned body double and the real Trump is recuperating in a medbed and planning his triumphant return or something).

The dude died suddenly in Gettysburg with the Annabelle doll while on the Devil's on the Run tour. This is so stupid, but one day it's gonna make an awesome horror movie.

This dude looks like Seinfeld if he spent 5 years in a Siberian Gulag.

I honestly don't know too much about him except that he was a Gaurdian Angel founder and he took over the Reform Party.

This is what I've been trying to explain to people for a few days now. Grifters like Charlie Kirk or Dinesh D'Souza will just go along with whatever Trump says on Epstien. They never believed in or cared about QAnon and the conspiracy bullshit. They opportunistically picked it up when it was useful, they'll drop it now that it's inconvenient, and a big chunk or MAGA will listen to them.

But guys like Alex Jones, who, if he isn't actually a die-hard true-believer, at least knows that his audience is entirely die-hard true-believers, will not do that. They have staked everything on a made up story about satanic pedophiles that started with Comet Ping-Pong and ended with Jeffery Epstien, and they can't just drop it. That is another large chunk or MAGA, and it will go to war with anyone, even Trump, to keep their delusion going.

I mean, that was gross, but I thought it did fit her character. She was a traumatized orphan with a dark past and sever attachment issues. It made sense to me that she would try replace D'Argo as quickly as possible rather than cope with or process that loss. I get why that put you off though, it was not a high point for her character.

Surprised I had to go this far for Farscape.
