Used his unearned wealth and power vested therein to spread bigotry, social sway and misinformation in one case. Then, uses position at head of political cult, White Nationalism and as "potus" in the second. Immoral and unethical in both. With the "potus'" place in the Justice System of the USA, not theirs to comment in any other than a neutral manner for fear of swaying opinions concerning the matter.

    As a Son of The Revolution, that needs to be fixed.

    Washington wasn't wrong when he cautioned against partisan politics. He said we shouldn't do it as he left office and that lasted all of an hour before we created the partisan politics that has been destroying us ever since. None of them knew that FPTP would be as detrimental as it is. That math wasn't done until the mid 1800s.

    Washington was wrong about plenty of other things, but not that.

    Surprisingly, that man is an established rapist and has neither apologized for nor retracted the ad....

    Coming from a convicted rapist “fair shake” is very likely being given essays, a slap on the wrist, and no chance of formal convictions.

    I'm still shocked they made them write essays, no punishment at all would actually be less insulting.

    How does one even begin with a "I'm sorry I did one of the worst crimes imaginable." essay with a straight face? I almost wanna read the essays because I'm sure they'll make me sick and I fucking hate myself.

    I don’t undestand how they could even attempt to write something that shows any true contrition. Leaving aside the question of whether any of them actually believe that they did anything wrong and feel regret, wouldn't writing any truly meaningful esaay leave them open to procecution? (Although, I guess that would only br a risk if we lived in a world where the police and procecutors give a shit).

    Zephorah was the only one that needed to respond. Are you an alt, or vice versa, QwQarchist? Very much seems like it.....

    Or maybe you're just a bot?

    I don't watch the news anymore because it feels manufactured. Who's defending the rapists?

    Tons of people are claiming that it's a "Men's Rights Issue" and that if she consented to sex, she consented to rape. A lot of "Regret is not rape" bullshit that ignores the fact that she initially consented, but then seven people raped her.

    I think the issue is that the initial report lists her as always consenting to everything and the men respecting when she said no to anything. Also how she was not really considering it to be anything like rape until everyone found out about it and then she was uninvited to the Halloween party (which she still planned on attending btw).

    I think the disconnect is between “feels rapey” and “legally rape.” And I don’t think that any of the right is defending it as morally good or anything just saying that her feeling taken advantage of after the fact cannot be grounds for it becoming rape, in a legal sense.
