When a rapist sticks up for other rapists it's called a professional courtesy.
Unfortunately, as expected...
Defending the men in the Cornell gang rape case. He “feels bad” for them and they won't get a “fair shake.”

Don't byte the hand that feeds you
McDonald's is now reportedly pressuring franchisees to use AI to price food.
Its CEO raked in $20.6M last year, over 1,000x the median McDonald's worker pay of $19,020.
And they remain one of the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients.
I'm not lovin' it.

Her assault was their privilege
If that woman at Cornell had been raped by 7 black, Hispanic, transgender, or Muslim men, I'm positive those 7 men and the other 50 who knew but said nothing would have been punished far worse than just writing essays, if they survived the initial arrests, that is.

all trump had to do is sit back and relax and pretend like the recovery he inherited from biden was all his doing. instead he did tariffs and war and like reagan and bush before him, he fucked over the economy.

I'm an actor and have had the absolute honor (one of the biggest of my career) of performing on the main stage of The Kennedy Center. I feel physically ill that a beacon of art and culture has been cast into the shadows by a talentless degenerate, devoid of appreciation for art, for anything

They spend but we pay
Billionaire political spending was about $16 million in 2008. In 2026, it could reach $2–3 billion. Whatever your politics, that’s a staggering shift in who has the financial power to shape American elections.
