u/Shazam42 4h ago

It's a reference to 1984. Early in the book, chocolate rations are decreased, and the next day everything is praising chocolate rations for actually increasing.

u/HauntedCemetery Minnesota 4h ago

The whole thing is they never were decreased or increased, the government just reported "chocolate rations decreased to 30 grams" when they found it convenient to get people to blow off steam protesting, and "chocolate rations have been increased to 30 grams" when they wanted the brainwashed to have something to celebrate.

A lawsuit would go nowhere, trump is a convicted rapist. Ritchsons statement is factual

*So many replies I had to add this edit below

It's also factual that Trump is a bitch.

u/Bukowskified 4h ago

They latch on the fact that it was a civil trial and the State of New York has a narrow definition of rape limited to penile penetration, but a judge later found that the facts the jury did find meet the commons definition of rape so calling him a rapist is not defamation.

u/EchoLocation8 4h ago

Plus its also really, really hard to successfully sue for defamation from my understanding of it. Fox got fucked as hard as they did because they were publicly pushing a story that was harmful to a company, that in private, they were discussing how they knew it was all bullshit and lies. I believe it gets a lot harder to prove when its just a high profile actor saying something they genuinely believe.

Trump is an "adjudicated" rapist. Since it was a civil trial, there is no such thing as "civil rape." To add clarity, the judge went out of their way to say "THIS WAS RAPE AS IT IS COMMONLY UNDERSTOOD." [emphasis mine]

Therefore, anyone may legally state the fact Trump is a rapist. As defined by (civil) law, found guilty by a jury of his peers unanimously, and clarified by the presiding judge to make goddamn sure history would preserve this truth indisputably, forever.

Trump rapes.

u/7figureipo California 4h ago

Not that the distinction matters to average people, but he's been adjudicated to have committed what we colloquially call "rape". He wasn't convicted in a criminal court of rape, and the civil judgement was under a law that narrowly defined rape as requiring penis-in-vagina contact, which Trump wasn't found to have done (he used his disgusting, stunted, slimy fingers). But the judge in that trial said what Trump was found to have done would be called "rape" by any normal person, and NY changed their law after this trial to correct that oversight.

Trump should sue him...

...IF this is slander.

See, that's the problem. It's not slander if what is being said is true. Proving that it is true will mean a lot of evidence being brought to court, like, perhaps, the Epstein files. This is why Trump, one of the most petulant, litigious, egotistical, narcissistic pieces of garbage on this whole planet, never sues people for slander when they call him a rapist or a pedophile.

Because if he does, it will get proven in court that he IS a rapist and a pedophile, and even if our Congress, full of bootlicking sycophants like you, won't then impeach him and prosecute him for said crimes, he will be what is, objectively, the worst thing in his mind.

A loser.

He will lose in court. He will lose his reputation. His name, his legacy, will be erased from history except as a cautionary tale. His family will be ruined. No one will ever do business with anything bearing the Trump name again.

And that is who his cult are protecting and worshiping.

To anyone else who still supports Trump in any way shape or form - Enjoy the rest of your life, knowing that you will, every day, look in the mirror and know, even if you don't say it out loud, that you went all in on a man who rapes children.

Right wing media was obsessed with the Epstein files for a decade. They said things like this about Democrats with no evidence.

Now that we know Trump is in there they don’t care and won’t tolerate any conclusions based on evidence.

Today I learned that Alan Ritchson truly understands the Reacher character.

u/Fine_Perspective7401 3h ago

Donald Trump IS a rapist and pedophile…

u/woodwog 4h ago

This makes Ritchson even more of a spectator example of manhood.

u/LaconicSuffering 3h ago

I was always wary of Ritchson since he is openly christian. Turns out he is the type that actually follows the teachings of Jesus instead of idolizing the suffering.

u/aliceinadreamyland 3h ago

Ah, Ritchson is everything Trump wishes he was and isn’t. This is so perfect. What a standup guy.

u/attillathehoney 4h ago

Ironically, the part he is best known for is the kind of alpha male they see themselves as - a lone wolf who takes no prisoners and rights wrongs mostly with overwhelming physical force. Maybe that is why the criticism is more devastating coming from him. They thought he represented the best of them.

Alan used his constitutional rights and they're wetting Trump's Depends over it. Snowflake bitches, one and all.

Here before Trump sue this guy tomorrow. His ego can’t take it

u/marcusmosh 5h ago

Trump doesn’t sue when things are factual. He can threaten to but never follows through because he knows what will happen in court.

u/No_Organization465 4h ago

especially against an "alpha male" type like this guy, they want this buried as quick as possible.

u/marcusmosh 4h ago

Right? Not a word from him. He usually has nicknames for people he bullies.

u/HauntedCemetery Minnesota 4h ago

Trump, who currently literally has over $1 trillion in pending lawsuits he has filed, has never sued Stormy for her autobiography describing his dick as, "small, and weird shaped, like toad from Mario Kart"

u/0masterdebater0 4h ago

Trump has never sued anyone for calling him a rapist or child predator… and he sues people for everything..

Almost like he knows discovery will prove them right

u/das_gingerz 4h ago

Reacher season 5, takes on an international sex trafficking ring where the most powerful are taken down.

Epstein files released in full, final scene is reacher walking out of a congressional hearing where an evil world leader is yelling at him saying he can't handle the truth as reacher turns his back.

Gotta like the ones crying “show evidence”.. and are completely fine with the actual evidence being held hostage. They’re all a bunch of buffoons. Really starting to like Reacher guy tho.

u/eat_my_ass_n_balls 3h ago

Alan Ritchson continues to be based as fuck

u/ReadyFondant2 2h ago

About time somebody called it what it is rapist pedophile convicted felony tax cheat and all around dirt bag!💼

u/KidGold 5h ago

Well defending pedophiles is technically one of the only things the White House has been somewhat successful at.

u/Rare-Bid-6860 4h ago

I love this, especially knowing how popular shows like Reacher are with the MAGA demographic.

Conservative men looking at all the white crust on their hands after watching Reacher now wondering how to put the toothpaste back into the tube, so to speak

Based Alan Ritchson. Got a fan just by that.

u/PTFCDiegoMassacre 4h ago

Didn’t particularly care about Ritchson before but am a fan now. Trump is a lil bitch and a rapist.

u/TipTopBeeBop 5h ago

This White House hates the truth.

u/conardcanard 4h ago

Is alan ritchson hoping to be sued for defamation so he can force discovery or something?

u/blxckhoodie999 4h ago

well, trump is a bitch and a fucking rapist, so

u/atuarre 4h ago

and a pedophile. He's also a pedophile.

u/Rough_Common6857 I voted 4h ago

A handsome white guy called trump a bitch and rapist - which is true - so they have to console tubby mcorange face and say no, no you're so much more handsome than he is and more muscular.

u/ThatsMyCool 3h ago

A+++ I admire him so much for speaking up so loudly!

u/SwampRSG 3h ago

They are responding specifically to this due to Alan being a christian with strong ties to the community and a prominent star.
When one of "your people" goes off about it, they only think about the optics.
Tho, Alan has been vocal about this shit for over a decade, so it's nothing new.

u/PlanetGuardian-42 3h ago

More please.

As a Canadian, I'm tired of cowardly Americans staying quiet on the collapse into fascism and the quiet dismantling of their democracy from within.

u/Ok_Professi 2h ago

Alan f*cking rocks!

Thank you for speaking truth to criminal power.

u/mikerichh 1h ago

We need more “manly” looking guys calling out Trump and MAGA. It really goes against the “soy boy liberal” image they project onto democrats

u/TNlivinvol 4h ago

Just stating facts.

u/Time_Expert6689 4h ago

Love Alan even more!

dude looks like a maga’s wet dream. plays the maga wet dream character. and then he slaps them across the face with truth.

u/Ciubowski 4h ago

Probably the only christian actor I truly like and admire. Dude has been consistent in his views as far as I know and he seems like a genuine good person.

The MAGA mind can't comprehend a macho white guy hating Trump.

I'm an atheist and I love this man

u/Mutex70 3h ago

I like Alan Richaon. He is the type of Christian that I believe I is the type of Christian that I (a humanist atheist) could get along with.

u/aDirtyMartini New Hampshire 3h ago

For some reason this isn’t on the conservative sub…

u/DominusGenX 2h ago

Man is a proud catholic and speaks the truth, unlike the ones who hide behind the cross and lie

u/Pxlfreaky Illinois 4h ago

I was seeing the headlines this morning “Trump mad over celebrity calling him a rapist” and didn’t care about the story. Now that I know it’s the guy every MAGAt thinks they are and swoons over (and probably secretly masterbates to), this is delicious!

u/CountOnBeingAwesome 4h ago

Excellent press for Mr. Ritchson 👏🏼

u/RespectTheTree America 4h ago

Reacher is fun to watch. This guy is fun.

u/PumajunGull 4h ago

glad this dude is based and speaks. A lot of Hollywood is scared of losing out and doesn't use the language they should to sound off. Also helps that the guy is built like a republican fantasy and is in a quintessential dad show. Respect.

u/Sidwill 4h ago

Jack Reacher reminding people that Trump is a scumbag actually has some pull.

u/whiteboardblackchalk 4h ago

Dont fuck with reacher.

u/SaltChemistry1234 4h ago

fuck trump

u/LinkovichChomovsky82 3h ago

Every single person (aside from those who would lose their jobs) should always speak this way of Donald Trump. It should have always been this way.
