    Ok. Great. Legal nuance aside Kevin Spacey was acquitted and Trump was convicted.

    My comment was pointing out the hypocrisy in the comment section.

    People absolutely trust that Trump is a rapist and absolutely disagree with the acquittal of Kevin Spacey. Which is a hypocritical stance concerning the courts. Either you believe the courts or you don’t.

      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???”
