if you truly see differences, and you really believe that about America, you probably have a better read on it than I do.  I would suggest that it’s about as possible to become a new familial dynasty in the US today, as it is to breach the aristrocracy in UK. It’s possible, but what blood is to UK aristrocracy, money…

The salivating that the media does these days in anticipation of headlines is off-putting. Any chance we could not talk about this lady’s death every god-damned day from now until it happens? Pressure to die as a media courtesy must be a big drag.

Lots of smart answers, mine is just pragmatic. It’s not like the U.S. has this whole ‘running a country’ thing all sewed up, so while it may not be optimal, it’s certainly no worse ultimately than any other model. Additionally, Americans do so put up with the exact equivalent of monarchy and elites. They simply lack…

I could be wrong, but I disagree. I was so pleased to see Vanessa model strong-woman behaviour so beautifully... despite being drop-dead gorgeous, she clearly doesn’t ‘wiggle and giggle’ for anyone. QC women are strong, clear, independent, opinionated as generalizations. Just like our Vanessa.

name that sack of shit, someone please. I did not think the ‘managing partner’ or whatever kind of cheese he was at PwC was going to get sacked, so there’s hope in this case, even if only the hope of bigger frat brahs trying to salvage their public’s perception.

awesome. And how long after that until corporations are taking out life insurance policies (which we already know they do) on the weak herd and upping the process to actually offing them for profit?

Perhaps it vanished when UO realized that Maitre d’s have been perfecting this look by tucking nappies under chins for hundreds of years?

Well, Ken, first, getting all huffy about the distinction between an allegation and an indictment is slightly less-so moral high ground when the allegated-against paid 2 cash settlements. I’m not suggesting it makes him guilty, but it sure as shit clouds the ‘completely not guilty’ narrative. Moreover, really - have…

Good. Since the dangerous precedent has been set, and there are no end of profit interests lining up to make money off the warehousing and forced labour of detainees, the only thing that is likely to stop it (at least under Cheetolini) is financial loss to those intending to profit. Sue them off the face of the…

This guy and Josh Duggar.... the christian right’s attempts to demonstrate their values in politics/gov’t.

America has become so anxious to sell the film rights to the death scene, that they forget that their loved one isn’t dead yet and pay zero attention to whether that death can be prevented. This bullshit and the whole chasing OJ as a reality star - moral zero as entertainment, distract from reality with the same crap…

the country should take the same approach to Trump businesses that Scientology took to the IRS. Millions of businesses and individuals should launch lawsuits, until that sorry shitstain makes sparks distancing himself from his businesses.

consider the provenance... they were plucked from random contestants on a child pageant reality show because their white-trash-ness made them stand out, even in that milieu, as extra-juicy. Admittedly the whole pedophile angle was a bit more than reality tv can usually hold it’s nose and get past, but.

watch The Magdelene Sisters - it gives four (I believe) different stories of why young Irish women were incarcerated in these homes - often for life once the baby was born or died- becoming slaves to the RC Church for life, for the sin of (maybe) becoming pregnant....

If you’ve never seen these, they just might cure you of Nancy-ear-and-eye-offence-syndrome... check for more if you like - very funny....

you’re overcomplicating

So get the education and become a judge - the armchair qb’ing thing is not cool, you are defending the convicted (they’ve ahh, been defended professionally already, yes?). You called them ‘kids’ - they are not kids - their children together (fun fact, who will be parentless while these two walking turds are in jail)…

Hey cool- it *is* possible for the daughter of a billionaire/instagram-it-girl to learn the age old lesson about not shitting where you eat. If that’s gonna be a problem and all.

Rolling up on an unknown family/child’s birthday party in multiple vehicles flying flags outlawed for being racist, shouting racist slurs and holding guns is straight-up terrorism. Dry it up, morons - be grateful you’re not on your way to Guantanamo Bay.

I feel for Mack, as he’s no doubt taking a lot of shit for the position he’s in... if not from his classmates, then from ignorant adults - as is so well demonstrated below.
