Incorrect, it's entirely possible for two paedos to exist at once.

Conservatives are just genuinely fucking stupid, we need to let it stop surprising us.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I'm not a conservative first of all and I absolutely despise Trump as a human being and especially the president of the United States.

I'm just saying you can't have both you can't trust the legal system to convict Trump and then not trust it to aquitt Spacy.

It's just double think, hypocrisy.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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?
