worth noting you can sign the CLA and you vote is not just a protest but a legitimate vote.

Sadly he is likely permanently tarnished. It's important to note in this case 3 of the people involved in the event alleged filed suit civilly before the criminal trial even began. That's important because people generally wait for the outcome of a criminal case before suing so that they don't have to reprove facts. This leads me to believe they all knew the allegations were false and were trying to collect before that was shown in court. As far as the Anthony Rapp case went I am unsure what happened there to it was almost immediately dismissed but they were 40 year old allegations. The was another case where a man claimed he was groped by spacey in a bar but they were dropped almost immediately by the DA.

what they pass is useful to them and their donors. They are also less interested in passing bills and rather confirm judges, privatize services, and remove regulatory oversight. The point is making it easier to commit white collar crime.

its a divider issue they don't give a shit they just know they can maintain the religious vote with it while they rob everyone blind. They've also figured out making places not worth living in for progressives will drive them out of their districts.

I feel like you didnt read my response since it explains why in those 74 years they havent had a chance to do so and why things are different now. I also talk about how taiwans largest trade partner today is main land China. Reliable sources all acknowledge that ot isnt a secret.

lol well if you knew your history you would know they tried and failed. The PLA lost at the battle of Guningtou which effectively halted their advance towards Taiwan. Then the Korean War started and completely changed their priorities for years to come. Ever since then it's been a back and forth arms race of Taiwan's ROC maintaining a sufficient military readiness up to around 1980 as to deter China from taking action. Then the US got heavily involved and Taiwan became a center for semi conductor manufacture. It became a critical partner for countries around the world because of this and this bolstered the ROC's access to advanced western military equipment and help from nations dependent on Taiwanese industry also China itself became a major trade partner with Taiwan(bizarre right?). But the new CCP and PLA leadership of today are not like their counterparts of the past. Pooh Bear is a true despot who really wants the one China dream and cares little for the people. He has expressed real interest in aggression regardless of cost and needs a distraction to economic woes. Much like his Slavic counterpart's dream of reuniting the USSR pooh also has the One China bug hence actions taken in Hong Kong. He would have been all to happy to conduct and all out invasion and there was real evidence he planned to do so; However, the Ukrainian response I believe took them by surprise and Taiwan is much better prepared to repel an attack than Ukraine was.

So Anheuser-Busch is doing absolutely fine better than last years and last quarter. What I find absolutely HILARIOUS is these morons switching to other Anheuser-Busch brands in protest. Despite mostly fake news about their demise. They will eventually all just forget about this and move on to their new stupid thing.The dip from this was so small that there wasn't even really an opportunity to make any money off it. it valleyed at 53 just before a record high of 66 the month prior but its already bouncing back at 58. I wouldn't invest right now unless you're looking long-term because they ain't going nowhere. Also Bud Light sucks why do these idiots drink this shit.

China would happily attack Taiwan and would have already if it weren't for the backdraft they would receive from trade partners and for the horrendous outcome of the Ukraine war. They are desperate to conquer Taiwan and getting hold of their semiconductor manufacturing facilities is a wet dream for the Chinese.

I am aware. In America its a pretty taboo subject and its difficult to get the public to even pay attention to this issue. It would be nice to have systems in place that discourage recidivism but for many in the industry encouraging it is better for business. The only people that need to put on a face are sheriffs during election season.

I feel like third world prisons just aren't as elegant in their distribution of human suffering. Its a dated an inefficient system, its unstainable in its ability to really bring horror to scale. The Venezuelan prison population only accounts for .002 percent of the population or around 67,000 inmates. In the US the prison population accounts for .005 percent of the total population or 1.8 million and ever rising. The US accounts for a quarter of all inmates in the world though we represent only 5% of the worlds population. We do human suffering by the numbers. We've chosen quantity of quality. In a venezuelan prison sure you might be more likely to get chopped up by a cartel and the system is overpopulated as hell (157% over capacity). But in america we will profit off your misery and we have room for everyone! Sure we have dismemberments to here and there, we have slave farms, and even some chain gangs. But the beauty of the America approach to inmate facilities is its sustainable and scalable model that allows it to grow endlessly and distribute human suffering at scales never before conceived of. We are achieving the tin pot dictators "American Dream".

Lisa Mascaro Associated Press Washington — Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley released an unclassified document Thursday that Republicans claim is significant in their investigation of Hunter Biden as they probe the financial affairs of the president's son and revive previously debunked claims of wrongdoing. “The American people can now read this document for themselves," Grassley said. Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Oversight panel, said after lawmakers reviewed a redacted document in June, “Congress thoroughly reviewed and debunked" similar allegations that Giuliani had made. They said they were unaware of the document. Republicans have denounced the agreement with federal prosecutors as a "sweetheart deal."
