What the actual fuck? He wasn't found "liable for rape," he was found guilty of it. But I think we all knew this would come in some form. As societal norms are somewhat irritating to rapists, this isn't really a surprise.

What I now posit is: Why should anyone else follow the law? It clearly doesn't matter, so what system of government do we have at this point?

We have Luigi, and I'm sure there'll be a Mario. But I'm sorry ... look, I'm not a fan of Stephanopoulos, yet forcing a network to pay millions for accurate reporting is direct Nazi shit. If you are not afraid of who we are becoming, well, you aren't paying attention.
