What is it with these born again Christians and alleged sex crimes......surely it's not a grift or a way to sway public opinion?

***CoE and Catholic church have entered the chat and quickly left***

diogenetics.bsky.social•86 days ago

May he rot in jail!

jerseypatrick.bsky.social•86 days ago

I must live in a cave, but I never heard of Russel brand. Seems like a royal dickwad.

hraisins.bsky.social•86 days ago

So what cabinet post will he be nominated for?

jaysartcorner.bsky.social•86 days ago

That’s worth an Oval Office invite these days

swee24.bsky.social•86 days ago

He would get an appointment in this regime.

cfndlay.bsky.social•86 days ago

Good. Never got what folks see in him.

ciprian.danea.ro•86 days ago

Like many Rave Dubins, he started his podcast as a vehement anti capitalist. Then steered to the alt right via a smooth spiritual woo science roundabout.
Many do not notice the road change as it happens and are left with a creator they pumped many hours, and maybe money into.

Conspirituality.

ciprian.danea.ro•86 days ago

Oooh, I'm gonna steal that.

inthedayglo.bsky.social•86 days ago

Nothing to steal. Though it is the name of a podcast that examines this phenomenon.

joshtpm.bsky.social•86 days ago

seems like a desperate effort to become a made man in trump world

luluse23.bsky.social•86 days ago

Finally!

bobby-brown.bsky.social•86 days ago

It’s always the ones you most suspect

alexdacunha.bsky.social•86 days ago

The "left wing" turned into MAGA

trump-is-a-virus.bsky.social•86 days ago

Well that's on Brand for sure.

charlottebanks.bsky.social•86 days ago

Finally, some good news!

cjenergy.bsky.social•86 days ago

This is on-brand for Brand.

kaykenney.bsky.social•86 days ago

Not a shock, really. Always bragged about forcing himself on women.

andreakuszewski.bsky.social•86 days ago

Oh, good. When should we expect him as a guest in the White House?

vladaknowlton.bsky.social•86 days ago

Nice to see another country holding a rapist to account instead of making them president

gregpstone.bsky.social•86 days ago

On "brand" as a Trump humper.

stomachtax.bsky.social•86 days ago

guilty

lipstickscribbles.bsky.social•86 days ago

So we've identified who is buying Trump Card #2, eh?

moodystarbuck.bsky.social•86 days ago

Trump will pardon him anyway

alexdacunha.bsky.social•86 days ago

in UK he cannot

wiselineprt.bsky.social•86 days ago

He's done a reverse-Polanski.

wiselineprt.bsky.social•86 days ago

I didn't know Russell Brand had become a youth pastor.

rugbyfan.bsky.social•86 days ago

No real surprise, right on Brand for him.

arcadianvision.bsky.social•86 days ago

When's he being remanded?

messyredstudios.bsky.social•86 days ago

mattstern.bsky.social•86 days ago

On brand.

terraincognita1968.bsky.social•86 days ago

Not surprised. He knew it would be a selling point for ingratiating himself with the far right

happyclappyyay.bsky.social•86 days ago

It's a shame Trump can't pardon him.

mecha-sheep.bsky.social•86 days ago

There is something about Putin's supporters and sex crimes... As if the two are correlated. Scott Ritter, Matt Gaetz, Russel Brand, Donald Trump, the guy that flew to Russia and got killed (IIRC) there...

chrisneyland.bsky.social•86 days ago

To the surprise of absolutely nobody.

carbonhal.bsky.social•86 days ago

This will get interesting as he lives in the US currently. Will ICE deport a rapist immigrant? Will the DOJ allow extradition back to the UK? Will trump give him safe haven?

sunnyrainy2.bsky.social•86 days ago

Shades of Bill Cosby . . .

rikarduddenberg.bsky.social•86 days ago

Good

thecavepainter.bsky.social•86 days ago

Is anyone else worried he'll flee the UK and land a job in the administration??

neiltaffy.bsky.social•86 days ago

Well hes done the first bit already
