There's another kind of poverty that only Rich men know a moral malnutrition that starts their very soul. And they can't be saved with money and they're running out of time and all the while they're saying it's OK cause I've got mine.

The Patriarchy in a nutshell 😈

Convicted r*pist doesn’t feel like he should bear the “burden” of his guilt, thinks he’s entitled to a pardon, never takes one second to accept responsibility for his actions.

Castration would be better for the species. 😑

Gisele Pelicot was dragged back into court this week because one of her convicted rapists decided he didn’t want to “bear the burden” of being labelled a rapist.

He appealed and made her re-live the horrific crime.

The court denied his appeal and handed him a longer sentence.

Man who appealed Pelicot rape conviction handed longer jail term

A French court increases by a year the jail term of the only man who challenged his conviction for raping Gisèle Pelicot.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.
