People do not ascend to the highest offices of power, nor to the upper echelons of economic power, by having scruples, and Clarence Thomas is no exception. On the contrary, they achieve such feats almost universally due to a lack ethics or morals, whether they never had them in the first place or gradually discarded…

B and C might be mutually exclusive. City Councils are often heavily beholden to law enforcement and police unions — lots of hand-and-glove relationships between them. So trying to hold law enforcement accountable will almost certainly sour relationships with the city council. I don’t see a good way around this…

The cause is pretty simple — the US’s and the world’s entire economic model is ‘robbing the future to get rich today.’ Almost exclusively at the hands of the wealthy. They try to pass the bill off as long as they possibly can, but the more and faster they pilfer the future, the quicker that bill comes due...and…

Mmm...no, that would qualify as a hostile work environment. And contributing towards or creation of a hostile work environment can absolutely get you fired. Pull this shit at a school or a college outside of a sports arena? Yeah, that’s going to be harassment. It can easily get you kicked out of class, and if you keep…

On the one hand, good for Reese throwing the shit back, full-on ‘reap what you sow’ style. On the other hand, this kind of shit shouldn’t be tolerated, let alone viewed as a normal part of the game. It is clearly poor sportsmanship. In other environments, this behavior is called harassment. It can easily get you…

Hence why they should continue being sued. Nobody is forcing them to endanger lives with their hateful rhetoric and violent, armed demonstrations. They could simply choose to, you know, not be racist asshats, shut up, and go home.

If the behavior continues afterward, then by all means, keep suing. Just because you get sued for one crime doesn’t mean you can’t be sued for another instance of the same crime.

The thing is, as much as Donald deserves this indictment and to be convicted (for this and many, many other crimes too numerous to count), anyone who has paid the slightest bit of attention to the state of America’s DOJ and its courts should already knows how this is going to end — before the SCOTUS which will bend…

Agreed, on both counts.

Mending relations between America and Africa is going to require pulling all of America’s knives out of Africa’s back first...and good luck with that. Twisting those knives has been incredibly lucrative for American businesses exploiting African countries. And, of course, then you have to stop a Republican-controlled…

Reagan is the reason America’s higher education has been going steadily downhill while the costs keep going up, starting off by attacking higher education in CA and cutting off public funding to those schools under the lie of ‘cost cutting’ forcing them to rely on tuition. Reagan continued this assault on education…

Put down the ‘Merica kool-aid...it’s rotting your brain.

...butchery, genocide, debauchery, depravity. Then pretending those things never happened, pretending it isn’t your responsibility to correct past mistakes. And not just distant past. This shit is still happening every single day. You just turn a blind eye to it, because it’s incompatible with your delusions of…

Strangely enough, the people complaining about ‘white guilt’ have the most to be feel guilty about. Funny how that is....

Related to the topic: the Right of Consent, despite not being explicitly called out in the US Constitution, is the single most important right anyone has. Most states even recognize the basic concept — albeit in an arbitrarily limited fashion — with what’s known as the ‘age of consent.’ Many laws in the US today even…

Insulin doesn’t have a patent. The only thing being ‘patented’ are delivery devices, and those are *STILL* patented.

Actually, not anymore. Legal and judicial precedents have since been set that would have protected those companies from being broken up. You see, before the 60s, companies had to demonstrate public *BENEFIT* before mergers were permitted, with the burden of proof on the merging businesses. Now the FTC and the DOJ have…

“Honestly their track record as of late...”

On the contrary, there *IS* a high degree of agreement among gamers regarding ‘good’ games. Great not nearly as much, and excellent even less so. But good? Absolutely.

That’s the biggest problem (and one not limited to gaming) — the people ‘in charge’ are almost never gamers themselves and thus have no tangible understanding or appreciation of the medium or what actually makes a ‘good’ game. It’s also why so many of their ‘investments’ end up being bad — their lack of understanding…
