WTF, Treasury?! Alexander Hamilton is the founder of our currency.

While as Andrew Jackson was a genocidal monster who outright broke the law by refusing to enforce a Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Cherokee to keep their land, got elected president twice through the use of the most false allegations and mudslinging of his opponents' names the country had ever seen, created the "spoils system" of appointing your buddies to top posts, caused the worst economic depression the country would see until fucking 1929 by destroying the banking system in favor of personal cronies leading state banks (notice a corruption theme, yet?), personally benefited from removing natives from their lands (bet you do now!), and owned hundreds of slaves. But hey, he totally killed a few thousand British people that one time...two weeks after the war had technically ended (word hadn't reach back to the U.S. yet) and then brazenly claimed his victory helped the U.S. get more favorable terms in the peace treaty the ink to which was drying two goddamned weeks before the battle even happened.

I can see why it's a tough call who to boot out....

WTF, Treasury?!

Shh! You don't want to anger the Jackson! He'll come back to duel you! And how do you kill an UNDEAD Andrew Jackson?!? The only person who can do anything is Teddy Roosevelt. And I don't think he cares!

I have got to applaud him for beating an attempted assassin with his cane, though.

Notable not only for the WTF? factor, but also because every headline I've seen until now has said "JARED A CHILD RAPIST" or something to that effect, when in reality, it was the director of his foundation that was arrested for child porn. Still pretty WTF? though.

Considering the high(ish) profile of the case, it can't be entirely impossible to believe they wouldn't have actually raided his home without some sort of evidence pointing his way

Or he's a victim and his foundation's boss kept sending him kiddy porn :v

Either or, something must of sent police in his direction, even a bogus tip by an anonymous and vindictive person~

What. The. Fuck.

That judge hates children and believes that they can't think for themselves basically.

Oldest boy:"I do not apologize for not talking to (the father) because I have a reason for that and that’s because he’s violent and I saw him hit my mom and I’m not going to talk to him.”
...
Judge:"You, young man, have got it wrong. I think your father is a great man who has gone through hoops for you to have a relationship with you.”

Yeah, that's the officer of the law saying how the boy should be proud on how his father beats up mother.

Judge should be tried for child abuse. :T

I mean, what else do you call taking children from what shows no signs of being a bad environment, separating them, and sticking them with a bunch of criminals because they disagree with you?

It gets worse, the oldest's age was misreported. And the transcript includes this mess:

Quote

Referring to the contempt orders and sending the trio of kids to summer behind institutional walls, Gorcyca told the older sibling: "I wanted to do this because of your horrific behavior a long time ago and your dad begged me not to. ... One day you are going to realize what's going on in this case and you're going to apologize to your dad."

This case has been going on for five years. And she wanted to do this a long time ago.

Yay Fascism, the real kind.

(Hypothetically) some one should punch this judge in the face real hard since he feels it ain't a problem, so serve it up to him on a platter. Here's you sign <smack>.

It's a female judge. She should still get punched in the face.

The ideal punishment is her being kicked out and sentenced without trial for child abuse. Punishment: incarceration until retirement age or until she writes an apology the whole family accepts. No matter what is involved in this case, her judgement is nothing more than an abhorrent abuse of power.

The wicked judge gives up and the kids will be released!

What do you know, seems like the mother making the case public actually worked. That or people were indeed starting to line up to punch her.

bhu · « **Reply #893 on:** July 11, 2015, 03:11:20 PM »

She's only releasing them for summer camp. Once camp is over their fate is up to her again, and she can send them right back

I don't advocate violence.
She's just so stupid (clearly smart at other things) ...
she's the type that needs literally to "experience"
something, before she can even understand it.

Domestic Violence sucks, and there must be a reason
her friends have NOT told her about their own experiences.

I mean Rhonda Rousey just spoke out against Domestic Violence.
I'd bet she'd gladly show this !@#$ Judge a good time.

Update to I think an earlier post here:

Jared pleads guilty to child porn and prostitution charges.

I was under the impression that it was someone he knew who was doing it (his...agent guy?), and the authorities were searching his places for evidence and he was cooperating. But nope, turns out he's the diddler.

So was the other guy.

It was a two-fer.

This is why you don't deal in shady things with coworkers. When the dealer goes down, all his coworkers get checked out too

Here or sports thread. holy crap the NFL really doesn't care about ethics. The year after the huge debacle with domestic violence and what not, it comes out that an ESPN analyst at an NFL sanctioned and sponsored rookie symposium, designed to ease rookies into the culture and lifestyle of the NFL and make their first year easier on themselves, tells the rookies to get a "fall guy". Like, instead of going to jail, pay a guy off to do it for you. He gets in trouble instead of you. And no, not being hyperbolic, it's not paraphrasing, it's literally what he said: "fall guy".
