    Saw this posted by a left wing news channel on YouTube and made the mistake of reading the comments…
    Of course many just like here, but so many from maga nuts etc. about how “he did this when he was left wing” etc.

    “I hope this conviction sends a clear message that no one is above the law, no matter how famous or powerful they may be.”

    Well, as long as the US has a convicted felon and known pedo as their president, this sounds hollow.

    Here’s hoping his victims find some peace and satisfaction from the verdict.

    Also, fuck, he has three kids (2, 6 and 8) and they’re losing their papa. I gotta say, my heart goes out to them - what a fucking shame for them.

    Pretending to be a christian for the last year was very productive Russel. Time well spent. Looks like you will have time to find that favorite bible verse.

      What’s the old saying? “Kill them all and let God sort em out”? Personally I rather like that concept, damned be to the gods for mans justice is far more immediate and if they do have an issue then come down and make a case.

    He looks like the “before meth” picture to Asmongold’s “after meth”

    Can’t believe that once in my naive teenage years I liked this guy. Thankfully it didn’t take me long to see through his bullshit. He’s a piece of shit.

        He was anti-Church before it was cool. Also used words very quickly, but never particularly well.

          I don’t get people who gravitate towards fast talking gibberish spewers. Someone being difficult to understand doesn’t make them insightful.

        Back in the 2000s he kind of had a reputation as a “ladies man” who was confident, funny, and charming and who could sleep with any woman he wanted. At least, that was the perception I and many other people at the time had of him. Although even then there were real ones who seen straight through his act.

        Naturally, as a teenage boy I wanted to be just like him and I looked up to him as a blueprint for how to be desirable to women. It’s a good thing that after a couple of years I began to see him for what he was and is. First and foremost a predator, but also a grifter and a liar.

          What, am I the only person who always found his looks offputting? It’s like he has some money and okayish starting parameters, but went through typical sleazy ‘pickup artist’ bullshit. Silk shirts and such, eugh.

            More like Johnny Depp wannabe. Different vibes. He did end up joining the alt right circuit, but that was more the conspiracy side and through rogan. He leaned full on into the new-age-Jesus aesthetic at some point, so the fascist adjacent crystal mommy to anti-vax pipeline seemed like a layup i Imagine

            So yeah, comparable but a different type of grifter
