As an aside on the AIDS thing: I was a little kid when it started to really hit the mainstream airwaves. Mid 80’s or so. Even as a kid, I had a hard time believing that it spontaneously occurred in a monkey in Africa, and then spread from there. And yes, I remember the propaganda that it was only a “gay disease”. My mom was a huge fan of the show “Dynasty” and loved Rock Hudson. He suddenly disappeared off the show and his character was replaced by George Hamilton iirc. It later turned out he passed away from AIDS related complications… and that he was gay.

Is that why they’ve tried like hell and after 4 indictments they haven’t been able to convict yet?

Where have you been? They started investigating (and attacking him) back in 2016 after they realized he would Actually be a threat to the establishment.
