IIRC, that’s something that Congress needs to change, not Obama. Drug convictions of any type are deportable offenses.

No such thing as an “otherwise great” Trump supporter. I mean, to me, becoming a Trump supporter recently means that he’s cool with sexual assault and wishes he could do that to women.

Instead, we’ll just call her a misunderstood genius. And ignore her homophobia.

Russell Crowe has calmed his shit down. So no, not blaming him for this at all.

Yeah, mental illness doesn’t excuse you from being a dick. I can’t stand her, and I judge all “activists” who listen to her music and put her name out there, knowing what kind of person she is.

Uh, actually, she does engage in some harmful shit. Unless you’re cool with homophobia and racial slurs being used against other people?

She’s a hot mess who for some reason, keeps getting chance after chance. She’s a homophobe and has no problem slinging racial slurs at other musicians. If she was a white dude, she wouldn’t be getting any attention at this point.

Nah, it’s AA vernacular and also pretty disrespectful. It’s never used in a positive light. It’s never like “oh, these females do so well in school and are so smart.”

If it happened to either of those women, no one would give a fuck and people would make cracks about them deserving it, or liking it. Come on.

Yep. Banks is a hot mess. A homophobic hot mess who likes to throw racial slurs at people.

What about her homophobia? Do you condone that? Or her racist attacks on Zayn?

Of course not. He’s a man.

Banks is a monster who has gotten a pass on a lot of really shitty behavior, including rampant hate speech, homophobia, and racism. I don’t quite think she should get a pass here, too.

Doubtful. She’s had a long, proud history of disgusting, homophobic and racist behavior, and no one gives a fuck. People keep giving her a pass and calling her mentally ill or some shit.

What felony would apply?

There is a section of the tape where he tries to kick her out and she refuses to leave, so no.

His PR spin people tried really hard to make this seem like an unfounded attack on a successful black man. I think that triggered a lot of white guilt, especially in the sorts of folks who don’t believe women who are raped.

Because we’re caught up dealing with our own shit right now.

Adult Protective Services exist, but it’s not quite as easy to get assistance for adults. The system is overburdened, and adults don’t really have to engage with anyone (unlike children, who should be in school).

My MIL is this person. There are ... dozens of mostly-empty toothpaste tubes at her house. Food products from the 90's. etc.
