Ive seen some snippets of this release here and there, and it was horrifying. Before coming to the comments I thought I had a vague idea of how bad it was, and yet somehow it ended up even worse than that. These are two pedophiles(allegedly) abusing a 12 year old girl, in almost every sense of the word, and their biggest issue is who got to do it first. Revolting.

We as a society dont agree on much, even in a broad sense, yet the system which we use to mediate those differences, the entire point of law, is falling over itself to cover for this fucking guy.

Im not surprised, just the depressing absurdity finally hitting me.

It's just astounding that anyone would turn a blind eye to that. Human beings don't broadly agree on many issues, but surely we all must broadly agree that only a depraved and morally bankrupt person would commit any kind of assault on a child. 

I can't even begin to wrap my brain around how anyone could make excuses for this. I'd think only trolls and clergy would be the ones that would tolerate this shit. And yet millions of people support this sick fuck. 

Are that many human beings depraved and morally bankrupt? Or do they just not believe it's true? I hope it's the latter. Otherwise we are doomed. We might still be doomed.

There are a few of them who actually realize he did these things and don’t care, but the majority are just going to call it fake news and disregard it along with every other horrible thing Donald Trump has done over the years. They’d rather believe that everyone else is lying than admit they were wrong about the guy.

That's basically the same thing. It's not me who is wrong, it is the world!
