    The president of the United States is going on an expletive laden tirade (again). Surely we have reached the point where you can publish the word Fuck in a headline. The broad news media coyness about “bad words” is so fucking asinine. He said the words, publish the words. The guy rapes kids, but heaven forbid those kids accidentally read a curse word, that’d scar them.

      Feel like the US media would say “he allegedly had unwanted intercourse with underage parnters” or some shit like that. Something real pedo-coded.

      It’s all elites protecting the pact that they have. Case in point, even the owner of TheDailyBeast is:

      Barry Charles Diller (born February 2, 1942) is an American billionaire businessman. He is chairman of IAC and Expedia Group, and founded the Fox Broadcasting Company with Rupert Murdoch and USA Broadcasting. Diller was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 1994

      Sure they’re ultimately just people, but their class interests and protections will always get ahead of that. Even within those more “left” than the average rich person, class fidelity still dominates their important choices.

        I didn’t know the daily beast was owned by a murdoch pal, not that I ever look at them directly, just social media links. Even more reason to bypass their website if you want their content so they don’t make money from it.

        So that explains why TheDailyBeast is always so clickbaity and editorialized. I’ve always hated and ignored their reporting, even though it’s mostly on my side of the political spectrum…

          Actually a lot of 8-year olds are very mature and are perfectly capable of deciding for themselves if they want sexual relations with mature men in perfect health. A loving relationship between two concending humans does not equate sexual assault, you monster!

          Not me. Writing the above made me wash my hands twice, my eyes once and puncture my eardrum so I could flush my brain with alcohol.
