This article rolls together pursuits of underage girls (bad), harassment (bad), and consensual sex between adults (fine), into a weird “it’s all bad” burrito.

Still, I’d prefer he stop DM’ing me, asking for pics.

Watch for Biden to put heavy pressure on Congress and the Fed to throw money at the economy like cash is water and the economy is on fire, because if everything coalesces into a stock-market drop and a recession after the vaccine’s been fully distributed, the midterms are going to be a bloodbath.

Much as I don’t really want it to happen, I do have to admit, Young Rock would be a really good ‘first step’ for a Presidential run.

I’m Gen X. I’m also about 25-30 years away from retirement. Older Xers may be nearinf retirement age, but not all of us (many Xers are in their early- to mid-40s).

Apparently NYS is going after him for taxes and GA for trying to get votes thrown out. Hopefully he spends the rest of his life and all his money tied up in court. Or in prison. Real prison.
