You seem to be saying you don't understand the concept or "innocent until proven guilty." That applies to legal repercussions. It doesn't mean that a man with many accusations of sexual assault deserves the benefit of the doubt. I find the numerous accusations against him credible, and I found his denials uncredible. Especially when you consider several of his accusers have died under questionable circumstances.
Rapp had to pay Spacey thirty nine thousand dollars.
If you ever wonder why victims don't come forward, think about the humiliation, the accusations, the assumptions, the trauma relived and repeated and revisited and repeated again and again. And in the end, the law says "we won't protect you" and the court says "we don't believe you" and your abuser says "you owe me money."
We actually don't know that. We just know for sure that he and Maxwell trafficked little girls for a whole bunch of famous and powerful people who killed him before he could talk.
Right? Like we get it, you're not in the files, and you want to remind everyone you were acquitted and found not civilly liable of your own sexual misconduct. But "not guilty" is not the same as "innocent," and dodging legal responsibility is not vindication.
The crazy part about Fetterman is that he wasn't tied down by the Democratic leadership. They backed McCormick, a pro-business centrist, during the senate primary, and they didn't want him as lieutenant governor before that. He was a progressive wildcard that touted his independence from the party. He was always pro-Israel, but he was also pro-healthcare for all, pro-marijuana legalization, supported human rights and a progressive tax code. His heel-turn has been shocking and baffling, and lost him most of his supporters. Fetterman could be primaried from the left or yhe right, and he will probably lose either way. He could switch parties, but there aren't enough batshit Republicans in PA to make up for his flaws.
I understand why he's a threat to them, I just don't understand their battle strategy. Everything they do to attack him elevates his profile and makes actual Democrats suspicious of the oligarchs.
Sure, but again, he's the mayor. He can't set financial policy for the banks of the world. NYC has a huge administrative budget, but it ends at the five boroughs. He can't be like "All UN delegates have to end all wars." He has authority over city administrative issues, and it looks like Trump is going to go after him personally.
Important things happen in his city, and that makes him the most powerful mayor in the country. But that's like being the tallest elementary school student. And the job is a career killer. The last NYC mayor to be elected to higher office was in 1869.
So much god-damned attention on a fucking mayoral race. Sure, it's NYC, but he's still just the mayor. Like they could have just ignored him and sapped the energy from his win, and then primaried him when his term was up.
It's just further evidence that the Democratic leadership is entirely inept.
That's the level of copium I've been mainlining since his heel turn. Like I didn't want McCormick in the primary, and I definitely didn't want fucking Oz, but this is pretty bad.
I feel like Fetterman knows his health is failing and he won't run again, so he's just selling out entirely. His initial support of Israel made sense with the demographics of Pennsylvania, but he's gone too far to avoid losing in the next primary for anything statewide.
Not exactly. Like every good urban legend, there's an element of truth to give it legs.
Tryptophan does metabolize into serotonin, some of which further metabolizes into melatonin, which can make you sleepy. But there isn't more tryptophan in turkey than there is in other meats and some vegetables. It is an essential amino acid that you get from pretty much every meal that contains protein. Also, an overabundance of tryptophan doesn't necessarily mean more seratonin or melatonin.
People get sleepy after eating a lot of turkey because their bellies are full of turkey (and probably stuffing and corn bread and mashed potatoes and gravy and pie and a few glasses of wine)
