Can't make this (stuff) up

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Totally not actresses. Nope.



Article

https://god.dailydot.com/people-are-hav ... ter-thiel/

My take: any dude with even a modicum of emotional stability isn't gonna be on that app when there's tons of others with way more people. Likewise for women. In fact, I bet very few actual women will use this app because even if someone identifies as conservative, those who aren't batshit crazy won't pin their entire identity on political affiliations.

What you're gonna have left is a bunch of mostly angry, socially awkward dudes with a very skewed understanding of life, that if they do snag a date, will likely spend the whole time being weird and making everything political rather than being a normal human being.

Unless I missed a word or two, not one of them mentioned intelligence, educational achievement, compassion, competence or altruism, which is actually a refreshingly honest script. :thumbup:

Anyhow, those profiles are there for the daddies that are checking up on them. They really prefer RINOs and Antifa types because there's nothing hotter than a guy who can think for himself.

If what I've noticed is any indication, there are certainly some physically attractive virulently conservative women, but they're definitely vastly outnumbered by those that are either liberal or don't make politics the centerpiece of their personalities. Emphasis on physical, because attractiveness is multi-layered and not just contingent on the physical in my opinion.

In any case, if your political preferences are your personality, and this goes for absolutely everyone and not just conservative people, you're probably exhausting to be around.

That would have been a sight to see. I can't find video of the event, maybe it will pop up later.

U.S. Diplomat's Wife Flees UK As Police Suspect Her In Fatal Hit-And-Run

The wife of an unidentified U.S. diplomat has fled the U.K. amid an investigation into the death of a 19-year-old motorcyclist, who was driving on the correct side of the road when a driver pulled out onto the wrong side and struck him....

When police applied for a waiver from diplomatic immunity to conduct their investigation, however, the U.S. Embassy rejected it, informing them that the woman had left the country. Police say they had been following the usual investigative procedures.

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said in a statement that he has contacted U.S. Ambassador Woody Johnson “to express the U.K.’s disappointment with their decision, and to urge the Embassy to re-consider it.” ...
Woody Johnson?! Well, it does sound like he's being a real Dick Dick over this tragedy.

I hope Woody isn't 6'6" 290lbs who had the nickname "Big" when he was just a kid. Pretty shitty of the wife to flee the country after this. Perhaps the British legal system is not like ours, in which being innocent is expensive and you have to decide beforehand how innocent you want to be. When I got back to the US after almost three years in Japan, for a month or so I found myself on the wrong side of the road when making turns. But I never crashed or hit anything and did not have diplomatic immunity.

Update: After POSPOTUS abused the parents by trying to surprise them with a meeting with their son's murderer, there's:

White House and U.S. official's wife sued over teen's death in U.K.

POSPOTUS detests personal and national accountability.
US denies extradition request for Anne Sacoolas, diplomat's wife who allegedly hit, killed British teen

POSPOTUS, Pompeo and Trumpettes have a long history of shunning all personal responsibility, and of their being fine with driving a wedge between the US and our longterm allies on behalf of Putin.

I hope that the UK tries her in absentia, convicts her, and files a warrant with Interpol. Keep her from ever traveling abroad again, and perhaps also wreck her co-conspirator husband’s career.
Finally!
American Anne Sacoolas pleads guilty in crash that killed U.K. teen Harry Dunn

... She entered her plea in a London court via video link from Washington. Sentencing is expected to happen next month.
Will she return to the UK if sentenced to prison? I doubt it.
Since the accident, Dunn's parents have been leading a high-profile fight to achieve justice for their son while U.S. authorities refused her extradition.
Would Joe, Merrick and/or Antony Blinken extradite her?
"I just want her to own it — her accountability — for what she has done to us as a family and to my son. And I need to ask her why she left, why did she think it was OK to leave my son there and — and just leave the country," Dunn's father Tim Dunn told CBS News in 2021.

Sacoolas was originally charged with causing death by dangerous driving but pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of careless driving, which can bring a maximum jail term of up to five years.
Lock her up!
Dunn's mother Charlotte Charles told Sky News she had felt "sheer relief."

"I think that's the overwhelming feeling... just sheer relief that we could look up and say, 'Harry, we've done it mate. We've done what we promised.'"

She will probably be drinking earlier than usual after all this. I think she should not have had any special consideration as the wife of a US diplomat. I think there's a US Navy officer in prison in Japan now for causing a wreck that killed a couple of people. His wife has been whining about all of it ever since. Americans in general have a hard time realizing they're foreigners when they're not in America. They just can't understand it.

Avenatti sentenced to 14 years in California fraud case

Isn't it ironic that Avenatti turned out to be dirtier than the porn star he represented?

So in two years or less, they thought Avenatti was up to something, investigated, built a case, charged him, prosecuted and got a guilty verdict and a 14-year sentence. All while doing what with Trump?
