    So, in your mind because he in your mind quote "covid denialist " this accountability that you assert he shouldn't be "immune from" is being charged publicly with rape? Is that what you feel "accountability" looks like? Strange... even from you...

    Were you this bothered when Harvey Weinstein was publicly charged? Matt Lauer? Or only when it’s someone you like?
    It’s a very juvenile view of the world.

    Just heard Brand bragging live on radio 15 years ago about exposing his genitals to a woman in a rest room at the BBC that he didn't know! Yet in this thread we have people defending him!

    OK one word answers don't answer the question since I don't know the conspiracy theories you are talking about. However since you seem much more familiar with Brand than you let on, please explain the conspiracy theories around "Covid, ukraine, bill gates…" that both the right and Brand support.

    So in other words, you don't know of any conspiracy theories that both the right and Brand support.

    As expected.

    I just told you. You’re confusing you not knowing, with me not knowing. If you’re not interested enough to google them, why should I bother?

    Harvey Wienstein went to trial and was convicted. Remember, in this nation (quickly changing), you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. The left would rather slay their demons publicly before even getting all the facts or a trial takes place.

    So harvey should have been left alone until convicted?
    Did you want lauer and Rose to keep their jobs?
    I don’t know what slaying demons means, but people are allowed an opinion.

    So right, BBC is no longer relevant, they went gone years ago. As they go and dig into a rebel's personal life.
    & try to destroy them. BBC - NAZI - UTUBE - NAZI

    Again, assumed innocence until proven guilty. Not sure why that is so hard to understand. Elijah McClain would be alive today if he wasn't assumed guilty based upon hearsay.

    Do you think anyone who is accused should lose their job automatically?

    Opinions are great. When opinions become automatic convictions without a trial, that is people being the jury, judge and executioner!

    If he is tried and found guilty... I hope he gets the proverbial book thrown at him.

    So now you think you know what I know and don't know. Like I said, I've never heard of this guy until the headlines recently started showing up and I no idea what you're talking about with Trump's main guys. Last night Gutfeld played some videos of Brand and I found his style of talking to be unlikable.

    Not automatically. Should someone be forced to do business with someone else?
    Are you against the right of free association?

    Who is being forced to do business with Russel Brand?

    Should you lose your livelihood until you are able to prove your innocence?

    Of course not. Again, what does that have to do with innocent until proven guilty?

    He’s still innocent until proven guilty. I’m not even sure what you’re whining about at this point. Is he in prison? Is someone saying to lock him up without a trial? What is it you want?? Lol

    Why the heck would I know who he is and why would I lie about having never heard of him?

    According to this thread, he's a far left progressive marxist communist all while being a staunch conservative.

    Just saying, how about we not convict him of a crime in the public until he has been convicted of a crime. He hasn't even been indicted, but everyone is cool with him getting kicked out of everything and losing his livelihood, based upon accusations. Plenty of men, including famous men, have been falsely accused.
