Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Bridget, you deserve to be fired from your job because you are terrible at your job, not because you had sex with a woman,

I love this so hard. Epic burn.

i haven't even been able to find the first one yet

[–] [email protected] 85 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Good and let's hope it stays that way, because the rape victim filmed without consent is also one of the people in that video.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago

gross ok. i'll watch something else

[–] FlyingSquid 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And even if there was no rape victim in the video, there's an internet full of porn out there and there's probably already something you'll accept as masturbatory material that was meant for the general adult population.

Commenting just in case there's an update to this breaking news story

[–] [email protected] 80 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The embedded video of Zander Moricz is so good! Click the link and go watch it. If the first line doesn't sell you, nothing will:

"Bridget, our first interaction was when you retweeted a hate article about me from The Nationalist while I was a Sarasota County School student."

Hell of a way to open a comment!

If I ever do something dumb that requires this type of public hearing please make sure this kid is the one doing the public roasting.

[–] cosmicrookie 69 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Why is police looking into this though?

Ah.. It's in the article. They found it in her husband's phone as he's being investigated for rape

In late November, a woman alleged that Christian Ziegler went to her apartment and raped her after his wife bowed out of a scheduled get-together.

The hypocrisy of the GOP is stunningly not stunning.

I don't like stereotyping, but they're consistently like... not only projection but worse.

And they say the same about us in r/conservative... Holy hell.

Did she commit a crime that's her private life is being exposed? I know her husband is a rapist, but why are these videos being released?

Yes, she's a hypocrite, but what about her privacy? Her rights? That's YOUR privacy and YOUR rights too.

[–] klugerama 21 points 1 year ago

The videos aren't being released publicly. It's in the article.

Only Christian Ziegler, the police, and presumably the prosecutor(s) have access.

[–] ikidd 15 points 1 year ago

I think she's being accused of sexual assault by one of these women, so it's on the playing field now.

Here another great read and some back grounds of the situation, just in case anyone isn't clued up https://www.vanityfair.com/news/christian-ziegler-bridget-ziegler-rape-accusation-scandal

It has always been "Moms for Libertines". They just get confused by words.

[–] GroundedGator 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think this former Sarasota county student said it best. https://youtu.be/yq4LMi5-C6o?si=eLUXLIJ92QrnCQQR

Really her hypocrisy is just laughable and no one should care or be involved with anyone else's bedroom activities.

She is pushing her hateful and hurtful agenda in Sarasota county public schools. Meanwhile, she sends her kids to private school.

!I'm a bit split on this the more I think about it. Her private life doesn't need to be put on blast, she's a horrible enough person without putting her hypocrisy in the spotlight. However, it is her piousness that she flaunts as her guiding principle to negatively affect and control the lives of others. So can they actually be separated.!<

I'm wrong about this. Just because she's a horrible person doesn't mean her private life should become public. Other than her husband's assault, nothing that was done should be a judgement against her and she doesn't deserve to have everything aired in the public.

And as an aside Zander Moricz, the kid from the video gives me hope and his graduation speech is well worth a watch. https://youtu.be/qpTVyozS7M0?si=ZSGIpcO8m8VPe6Ud

Are they going to be released?
