Except no. Would you accept an actor who refused to appear in scenes with women because their wife would get jealous? A talk show host who refused to have women guests ever? Yes, the audience will be annoying if he has women guests on. That is because his audience is annoying 100% of the time, it is not an excuse for…

Forbes suggests he made about $17 million in 2019, alone. A person making $50,000/year would have to work 340 years and save every last penny to accrue $17 million.

I guess the point is, though, that fans saying stuff doesn’t ultimately matter. If his gf/wife knows he’s not doing anything shady, and it truly is just a friendship, then who cares? Sounds like a little more going on than just being deterred by potential gossip.

As Chirotera points out above you, there’s definitely…

It’s 2009 all over again. Republicans have lost the Presidency, the House, and the Senate and handed the new Democratic President and Democratic majorities a massively damaged country. Republicans will now do everything in their power to obstruct any meaningful solutions to help fix any of the problems we face and, if…

If only such streamers/youtubers had a plataform that could reach their fans and adress such issues.

What I can’t comprehend is what exactly is McConnell trying to achieve with thsi? Don’t get me wrong, the dude is brilliant at what he does even if he has been one of the most toxic, and powerful, influences in US politics over the past decades.

American “democracy” at its finest. With all due respect to the people of that fine state, some dude from Kentucky, who’s not the president (and who’s been at his job for far too long), should NEVER wield this much power. The filibuster needs to go. Term limits need to be added.

How much respect for your relationship do you have if hanging out with someone new of the opposite gender is too much for you to handle? And if it’s because your significant other can’t handle it, is that a healthy relationship to be in? Come on, man.

I can absolutely see being tired of the fan interaction, but that’s…

Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) has been the most outspoken Democratic opponent of changing Senate rules and has sought to assemble a bipartisan cadre of centrist senators willing to hammer out deals across the aisle.

it could be all beat to hell, looking like roast beef

During the trial, the cosplayer reportedly said as part of her defense that she doesn’t habitually wear underwear. The judge replied that Taiwanese law does not infringe on her right to forgo underwear. Exposing oneself publicly, it seems, is another matter.

On the one hand, many cultures are too prudish about nudity and sexuality. On the other hand, if this were a guy in a trench coat on the subway, it wouldn’t even be a story. Just another pervert getting caught.

That would be nice. Maybe by the next century. If any nation as we know it still exists by then.

Yeah, that’s the whole problem — it’s indie, as in regular citizens trying to keep tabs on bad officers. It’s not a federal registry that law enforcement agencies are REQUIRED to search before hiring a potential officer.

A google search shows that there sort of is, but it’s a hodge-podge of indie projects, and more than one database exists.

While there are a lot of ways in which an anecdote is (and should be) more easily dismissed than data, a single story (well told) can be much more powerful than an analysis, and can stick with even an unreceptive audience in ways that can change their beliefs more fundamentally.

We do know it’s also typical in American policing for fired cops to be rehired at other law enforcement agencies

The fact that there isn’t a national database for blacklisted fired/terminated former officers is one just one more notch on the “Why US Law Enforcement is fucked up” belt. I mean, FFS, when these people get their asses shown the door, that should be a *PERMANENT* removal from the profession. No law enforcement…

In 2017 I was canvassing for the then candidate soon to be governor Murphy of NJ in a mixed townhome and condominium association. I was given my assignment by the local county Democratic Party so I assumed they did the proper research to see if it was allowed in that development. It turns out it was not and some…

So based on the fact that soliciting is legal there, regardless the fact he wasn’t soliciting in the first place, when someone called to say he was soliciting the response should have been “That’s not illegal” and no one should have even been dispatched.
