Politics 2: Electric Boogaloo — Page 516

The system works!

http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-judge-20171110-story.html

Brett J. Talley, President Trump’s nominee to be a federal judge in Alabama, has never tried a case, was unanimously rated “not qualified” by the American Bar Assn.’s judicial rating committee, has practiced law for only three years and, as a blogger last year, displayed a degree of partisanship unusual for a judicial nominee, denouncing “Hillary Rotten Clinton” and pledging support for the National Rifle Assn.

On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee, on a party-line vote, approved him for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench.

Talley, 36, is part of what Trump has called the “untold story” of his success in filling the courts with young conservatives.

“The judge story is an untold story. Nobody wants to talk about it,” Trump said last month, standing alongside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in the White House Rose Garden. “But when you think of it, Mitch and I were saying, that has consequences 40 years out, depending on the age of the judge — but 40 years out.”

Civil rights groups and liberal advocates see the matter differently. They denounced Thursday’s vote, calling it “laughable” that none of the committee Republicans objected to confirming a lawyer with as little experience as Talley to preside over federal trials.

“He’s practiced law for less than three years and never argued a motion, let alone brought a case. This is the least amount of experience I’ve seen in a judicial nominee,” said Kristine Lucius, executive vice president of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights.

You have an interesting definition of “The system works!”.

I didn’t say who it worked for.

Why do fellow members of my gender have to act like such idiots. KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF!!

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I don’t care how much you give me, I may get corrupted because I am human, but I will never stick my hands on a woman where they don’t belong.

This has to more to do than just power.

Maybe there’s something about Hollywood that attracts that sort of person. Or, even scarier, perhaps that sort of person is just much more likely to succeed.

It’s not specific to Hollywood, it’s everywhere. The only reason we’re hearing about this stuff from Hollywood is because we know those peoples names, and often the names of the victims. People in less famous professions aren’t so lucky (or ones in professions where political affiliation will save you from any amount of heinous crimes).

I didn’t say it was specific to Hollywood, just that it may be more commonplace in Hollywood than other professions. And you’re right, it is only a big deal because these people are famous. If this kind of abuse was happening in the Lawyer ‘industry;’ I doubt people would even hear about it, and those that did probably wouldn’t care beyond a passing “that’s unfortunate.”

Maybe it is more commonplace to an extent, due to the nature of things like the auditioning process, dressing rooms and such, but this kind of thing is commonplace everywhere. It’s happening in law, I can assure you that. And, I know that was just a random example, but it’s one of the most dangerous professions for this, as the predators there know exactly how to get away with it.

Not random at all. The articles I linked place ‘Lawyer’ as the 2nd most psychopath-prone profession, right under CEO and right above Media. But perhaps I shouldn’t have said ‘if’, because I’m sure it is happening, people just aren’t hearing or caring about it.

Part of it is also the “gig” nature of entertainment work - you’re working with these people for a few weeks or months at a time, then the gig is done and you never have to see them again. This breeds both predatory behavior and silencing of victims, whereas in most fields, you’re stuck with the same people for years at a time, so a predator is less likely to go after someone if they know they’re always going to be around, and a victim is more likely to speak up if they have to see their predator for God knows how long.

Absolutely true.

“Take the Bible. Zachariah and Elizabeth for instance. Zachariah was extremely old to marry Elizabeth and they became the parents of John the Baptist,” Ziegler said choosing his words carefully before invoking Christ. “Also take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus.”

“There’s just nothing immoral or illegal here,” Ziegler concluded. “Maybe just a little bit unusual.”

1. To compare Mary and Joseph to what Roy Moore did, offends me as Christian.

2. The auditor obviously does not believe in the Bible. If he did, he would not call Mary and Joseph the parents of Jesus. Mary is a parent of Jesus, Joseph is not. Joseph is merely married to his mother.

3. Also, he’s defending a pedophiliac.

4. The culture Jesus was born into is far different than the culture of modern America. Different social mores, difference expectations.

That’s why I said it offends me to hear Mary and Joseph compared to Roy Moore.

Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me “old,” when I would NEVER call him “short and fat?” Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend - and maybe someday that will happen!

It’s so great having a child as our president.

pres trump on foreign soil calling 3 u.s. intel professionals “political hacks” while praising Putin

where is GOP outrage?

Does the Fake News Media remember when Crooked Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, was begging Russia to be our friend with the misspelled reset button? Obama tried also, but he had zero chemistry with Putin.

Lol chemistry? Are you trying to fuck Putin??
