who is charged with human trafficking and rape

And who is a darling of the right despite them knowing that. Sounds familiar, come to think of it...

Just needs some tax fraud and he's fit to run for office as a Republican

[–] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that one of the reasons he moved to Romania in the first place?

[–] Chozo@kbin.social 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The country's lax laws on rape are "probably 40% of the reason" he moved there, in his own words.

Goddamn it that guy is a piece of trash. I hope he goes back to prison there.

The spokespeople for the right are full of individuals like this. It's insane they feel the need to invent elaborate conspiracy theories about others when these people are right in front of their faces.

They need the other side to also be terrible to maintain the 'both sides are the same' narrative. It's why they're desperate to impeach Biden for something.

They all claim that he hasn't been convicted yet, so he isn't a rapist.

Just have to ignore the part where Taters said he/him fled to Romania because the human trafficking laws are more lax.

Trump was found liable for rape and they still don't call him a rapist. I wish they'd just come out and admit they're fine with rape instead of all of this pussyfooting around.

It's like their feelings keep them from caring about the facts
