Can we get a merit-based points system for government offices?

Even worse than the content, the message, Paul Ryan’s sniveling voice, and the font selection - the fucking auto-replay to make us relive it.

How did no one think twice about putting Terry Richardson and R. Kelly together?! Like, wow. Just wow! I’ve never seen the video (has anyone?) but the descriptions are cringe inducing enough.

Yes!

That’s a disturbing thought.

It would always have to be an underestimate since there’s no way of fully comprehending the depths of ego and shallows of smarts involved. It’s an unknowable quantity.

I really hope it does finally stick. Though, it’s always interesting to see just what precisely can change the tide of public opinion. Like, video recordings involving underage girls - hmmm, maybe we should reserve judgement? A report by Buzzfeed involving a sex cult and adult women - that’s the proverbial straw?

If these bumbling idiots had the slightest bit less ego and just a wee more smarts, we’d never be hearing about any of it.

Haha!

No clue, but his last collaboration (that I know of) was some horribly ill-conceived duo with Gaga and I think that was like 2013 or so. I don’t think he’s particularly current. Even without the stink of these allegations, he seems more like a state fair act at this point than anything.

I don’t have quite enough faith in the overall public consciousness to relate R’s low ticket sales directly to the Buzzfeed report. Maybe he’s just, you know, not as big of a draw as he was 10 years ago.

I was only asking a question, not proposing an alternative, hence why I made the not-a-doctor disclaimer at the outset. I appreciate your response, and realize that there is a lot to be considered and even more that I don’t understand on the issue. Thank you!

Now I want a computer/reptile room! Sounds intriguing, very Series of Unfortunate Events.

Eek!

Shhh, don’t speak it lest it come true.

I will! Thank you!

These are the hindrances to letting our white men truly achieve.

Also, there was something about how unqualified black women are taking the high earning jobs.

Yes, I’m sure they cuss with the best of them in private, but likely have the better judgment to restrain themselves from doing an 8-ball and calling a reporter for the New Yorker to give colorful descriptions of their colleagues.

AHAHAHAHAHA! That’s fantastic!
