Easy mistake but Brett “I Like Beer (and Raping)” Kavanaugh is the one doing all the chugging.
Prince Andrew must be seething that Donald Trump gets to chug along like nothing happened.

Seems like heavy drinking will earn you a seat on the Supreme Court, or make you Secretary of Defense.

Dammit! All I got was health problems from it…

Pretty sure he’s not sweating it.

Andrew screwed himself with that TV interview, he could likely have weathered it by keeping his mouth shut and just issuing a statement similar to what Donald says, I knew him, found out he was a creep and tossed him out of Mar-a-Lago. I seem to remember at one point an attorney for Guilffre claimed that had he not said he didn't know or meet her in that TV interview there wouldn't have been a lawsuit.
So if he's seething, it's his own damn fault.

The thing is, prince ahole didn’t stop hanging out with after the shit went down. Lil Donny did put some distance in there but Andy went back. The guy just thought he could keep getting away with it forever.

Andrew could have probably easily said something like “I didn’t know she was being coerced”. Virginia was of legal age when it occurred.

Who? What? Why?
MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Who?
Prince Andrew
What?
Being outed as a pedo
Why?
Because Trump gets to continue being the POTUS, while Andrew has basically been punted from the royal family.
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
Technically not legally a paedo as she was just about legal age. But still participated in a sex trafficking ring.

People, nobody deserves being downvoted for asking some simple questions. I too am not familiar with Prince Andrew.
WildPalmTree@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
They do if making the most cursory of searches would have told them. It’s not like a downvote is a huge punishment either. Just makes pointless questions easier to sort away.

Look, the man can’t medically sweat (/s), so at least he can play a round of cricket and not need a towel.

And trump must be seething that he didn’t think of having the police round up anyone who calls him a nonce in public?

American here…who?
Tenniswaffles@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Honey, if you use some context clues you should be able to figure out that they’re talking about someone from the royal family.
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
The Canadian Royal Family or the Scottish Royal Family?

The child of your once and future rulers.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
and future rulers.
Can we hurry it up? King George III was right, I want to come back!
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
Not really future. Elizabeth II unfortunately passed away.

Tbh probably the first time a lot of people heard about prince andrew was over this. He just sits on his sofa in his jammies now instead of working.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I know who he is because of Spitting Image. I wish it would come back again, there’s more material than they could ever hope to get through now.

i mean prince andrew seems to be doing just fine having literally suffered no consequences.....
FriendOfDeSoto@startrek.website 3 weeks ago
I mean by normal people standards, you are correct. He’s had to replace a golden spoon up his royal posterior with a silver one. But he still lives in a big house and will never want for money in his life. His involvement did cost him his representative job. He’s been royally demoted. So there were consequences for him although I’d be the first to agree they weren’t sufficiently punitive.
cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
sadly prince andrew's victim, virginia giuffre, didn't get the justice she deserves :(
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
If anything he just doesn’t have to actually work now.
ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
He has received the royal equivalent of punishment, a loss of status. The poor dear.
MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
But he’d be doing finer if he had the immunity that Donald Trump has.
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
He may have had some. His mum was the commander in chief after all. But his brother doesn’t seem to care much.
