I have never taken any moral criticism from the right seriously. They are corrupt immoral hypocritical assholes.
That said, I will call out any democrat doing unethical shit because I don't give a shit about party or celebrities. If you are a piece of shit, I don't care about the letter next to your name.
And if you have an R next to your name, I give zero shits about any of your opinions you morally bankrupt piece of crap.
Fucking Don Bacon.
Air force general and the small handful of times I met him he was a stand up guy. Tipped well, his staff seemed to like him, the guys I work with that worked with him all seemed to like him. Genuinely no complaints about this guy before he ran for office.
Then he ran for office and like, immediately, started taking money from telecoms to kill net neutrality. And it cost shockingly little to buy his vote. He went on a tour of his district to talk about it, in the middle of the week, during work hours, exclusively in the rural areas of his district.
My friends, his district is the largest and third largest city in Nebraska, and a few outlying neighborhoods to gerrymander it. You have to really try to avoid the city when you do shit like that.
He slips a little further every year, he wasn't sucking the party dick that hard his first term, but he can't take it out of his mouth at this point.
John Edwards' career-ending scandal is seeming pretty damn quaint these days
Honestly, what even is a political scandal anymore? The goal post has been moved so far, I'm not sure it's even still in the same zip code.
It's when your party abandons you over it. Only democrats have them anymore, with the sole exception being when a republican goes against trump
Howard Dean would have been president, but he cheered weird that one time, so didn't get the nomination.
Spoiler: it’s not
Musk actually got two of the three mothers of his children to pretend it was all good and a big misunderstanding on their part.
His ex-wife still thinks he's an asshole though.
Is it a fact musk cheated on his wives or just hearsay? I just figured they all left after discovering who he truly is inside
The conspiracy of prime numbers.
Do what I say, not what I do
Well, at least it's one thing they are actual experts in..........
What is the criteria for "credibly accused"? Accused is easy enough. One simply must make an accusation against you. But what criteria is used to elevate that credible?
witnesses, accusations, court trials, investigations by law, settlements and outright admission.
Some of them have more of one type than the other but most of the people mentioned in this political context are not unlucky people who only have one or two incidents.
That does not mean the other people are saints. But most seem to at least not glorify in it, and many are content to exploit and rob the working class without such public incidents.
Not that I care about or even like these guys, but just playing devils advocate (mostly because very few people here do) but witnesses, accusations, court trials, and investigations by law is just due process. Also, with an outright admission, we've gone past the point of a mere accusation (credible or otherwise). I suppose a settlement is the only one I would attach to credible. Most people aren't going to pay up unless they're guilty.
Lemmy is an echo chamber but I'll say if for those rare republicans in the back:
If a prominent democrat has skeletons like this in their closet, they deserve the same scrutiny / disrepute as any republican.
Party means nothing
Yeah, that's why the democrats called for the immediate resignation of weiner, Adams, menenedez, and cuomo. Republicans circle wagons every time one of their own is credibly accused. Even bringing it up in the same context is disingenuous.
Sing that song to Alan Franken. Then sing it again to Anthony Weiner.
"bOtH sIDEs aRe BaD!"
Seriously one side is objectively worse.
Your opinion was already addressed by "lemmy is an echo chamber".
One side isnt objectively worse
They are only worse for the majority of humans and other species that live on Earth
How is that not objectively worse?
That's the joke TM
Its not objectively worse to black holes
I'm pretty sure bubonic plague isn't noticing, either.
People downvoting you clearly aren't reading past the first line....

cheating, rape, and violence ARE conservative family values, as long as it's the men doing any of those things
Don’t forget incest. There’s a reason the south has billboards saying “she’s your daughter, not your date”. If the problem is so bad that people are paying to run anti-incest campaigns, there’s a real issue with the people living there.
ready for some creepy AF handmaid's twilight tale zone dystopia shit?

no, i don't see that there's any such similar thing for boys
women doing the same would be progressive.
