  • I was talking about the posters of Nazis. I should've been more clear.

    EDIT - To be perfectly clear. There are two pictures of Nazis, and one picture of someone who would have been a Nazi supporter if he didn't prematurely die of hubris.

  • Dennis Miller was a great writer himself, and wrote all of the Weekend Update stuff that he did, and a bunch of sketches. It's ok to say he was once great at what he did, because he was. But I would recommend going back and watching Dennis Miller Live on HBO. I went back and re-watched it during the pandemic, and it's pure Libertarian garbage wrapped up in snarky wit and big words. So he's always been kind of a right-leaning douche, but 9/11 broke his brain and he dropped all the Libertarian pretense.

  • unless there is video and audio proof. how the fuck could someone be charged for this 20+ years later over “he said she said”?

    Same way a cold murder case gets investigated when all the DNA has degraded. They rely on circumstantial evidence. Now, that word has been corrupted by procedural crime drama TV shows, but make no mistake, a LOT of criminal cases are successfully prosecuted based on circumstantial evidence, because it is still legitimate evidence even though it's not direct evidence. They'll go through his electronic devices and look at text messages and photos and retrieve voice mails, they'll conduct interviews with others who were told about the allegations at the time and see how those stories line up, and so on.

    I'm not as familiar with this particular case as others are, but from the other comments I've read, it looks like the victim(s) had already filed police reports 20+ years ago, but those didn't go anywhere for whatever reason (lack of evidence, incompetent police work, etc). So that helps the case quite a bit.

    Could i just pick a random person and say they raped me in 2002 and then they will go to prison?

    Technically, yes. There have been cases where this has happened, although it is extremely rare. The police would investigate your allegations and almost certainly find them lacking, at which point you would be charged with filing false police reports, and most likely sued by the person you accused.

    Here's a fun statistic: A man is more likely to be raped than to be falsely accused of rape. Just in case you were wondering how often the latter happens.

  • Were the allegations not brought to the police before the tv documentary?

    I might be speaking out of my ass here, but it could be that the allegations were brought to the police first, but there wasn't enough evidence at the time for the police to file charges, and then the documentary investigation turned up more evidence than the police had.

  • The racist sexist bigots aren’t going to vote democrat no matter what.

    Don't make the mistake of thinking that racism and especially sexism don't exist within the Democratic voting base. They are much less of a problem than within the Republican voting base, but they are still significant enough to swing elections.

    And honestly to even suggest the radicalisation of the right was due to Obama is crazy.

    Not solely due to Obama, but his existence in the White House did get a lot of people to take off their masks.

  • Goddam what an obvious fucking name. If you wrote a procedural cop show where the child traffickers ran a site called KidFlix, you'd be laughed out of the building for being so on-the-nose.
