Even the president of a bank can’t deny a withdrawal unless they involve the police, and at that point they’d have to present evidence of illegal activity. Short of that, they have to give the account holder their money as soon as they possibly can.

There is no reasonable - or legal - reason for a bank to deny an account holder (or a representative listed on the account) with proper identification access to the money in their account. It’s one of the fundamental attributes of a bank account.

Thank you. It's clear that my reading comprehension was for shit.

Now, perhaps, someone can explain to me how this scumbag cop isn't up for 2nd degree murder. How much more intentional can murder be when people are yelling at a guy to stop because the man he's kneeling on is dying?

It's because rich white people "value [their] privacy," even when their fortunes are derived directly from being public figures.

And I'm telling you he should already be gone. This is just icing on the resignation cake. His brother should also be fired from his job on general principle.

The point is that he’s already been proven to be a liar with the covid stats. That he hasn’t resigned yet proves that he’s an unrepentant scumbag. Even his usefulness as a lightning rod for Trump hate is done so there’s no reason any Democrat (and I am one) should be defending him.

Your speculation simply isn’t based on facts. Democrats tend to run sexual harassers and abusers out of their positions while Republicans elect them President. Granted, it hasn’t always been true, but Bill Clinton could not secure a presidential nomination today unless he ran as a Republican.

I’d say there’s another issue with the “demand,” besides it being a demand. $20 million for a community center? That’s a ton of money, especially in the midwest. No charitable organization should be handing out that kind of money without a detailed plan for how it’s going to be spent.

This. Having the star of the show denigrate Inara for her profession renders invalid the status and self-empowerment that is conveyed to her by the rest of their society.

There's really no point until his testicles descend.

I didn't miss it. Enjoy your rage.

It’s a motel. While other long-term residents might know the score, it only takes one temporary resident who might honestly have been concerned. Demonizing that person is no better than harshly judging a young mother who is between a rock and a hard place.

If a joke, great one.

That's in the thread I was describing, too. It's obviously absurd nonsense with a healthy dose of misogyny thrown in. Joss would be so proud, especially if such arguments managed to make someone feel like crying.

Wasn’t the old southern butter cooking lady briefly cancelled for this exact same bullshit before 2018?

You know what usually keeps the press from reporting on bad behavior? Not behaving badly. Biden should be screaming mad that his press office couldn’t complete a month of service without kicking themselves in the crotch. Declining to answer a question is the most basic skill for anyone in press relations. His cancer…

Being professional is supposed to be a 24-hour thing. If you can’t handle a difficult or inappropriate question, you shouldn’t work in the White House at all, let alone as a [deputy] press secretary. You keep your shit together, respectfully decline to answer, then talk about it with your boss.

It’s insane. The only time it has ever been okay to even suggest abortion to a woman is when there are terrible congenital defects or life-threatening complications...and even then it should only be suggested by doctors and close family members.

I don’t know about Whedon fans as a demographic but there are definitely people defending his bullshit. One guy on a forum I frequent has gone so far as to make it that Charisma Carpenter was wrong for getting pregnant because it made it so very difficult for everyone working on Angel. You know, because a TV actor…
