I’m curious how different communities may have different views on consent.Son of Mathonwy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 23, 2025 3:37 pmConsent is a bit too woke for this lot.Which Tyler wrote: ↑Wed Apr 23, 2025 2:32 pm WTF?

I think the clash may occur because teaching consent properly invalidates their cultural belief that a wife is the inalienable property of her husband (as with all things in that culture, offer available to whites only).Sandydragon wrote: ↑Wed Apr 23, 2025 7:47 pmI’m curious how different communities may have different views on consent.Son of Mathonwy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 23, 2025 3:37 pmConsent is a bit too woke for this lot.Which Tyler wrote: ↑Wed Apr 23, 2025 2:32 pm WTF?

She wasn't arrested for one of her judgements but the eagerness of Trump's lackeys to go after a judge might cow some of them. It's crossed another line. The next arrest will be easier, less of a headline.Which Tyler wrote: ↑Fri Apr 25, 2025 5:53 pm US judge arrested after allegedly obstructing ICE agents
It’s a tricky one. I’m normal times, a judge being arrested for helping a wanted person escape from federal agents wouldn’t be such an issue. She allegedly overstepped the mark and she isn’t above the law.Son of Mathonwy wrote: ↑Sat Apr 26, 2025 4:33 pmShe wasn't arrested for one of her judgements but the eagerness of Trump's lackeys to go after a judge might cow some of them.

Not sure I can agree with you on "overstepped the mark." She wasn't looking to help him escape the justice system, but to escape ICE who were looking to deport him without trial.Sandydragon wrote: ↑Sat Apr 26, 2025 5:39 pmIt’s a tricky one.

The problem is that these aren’t normal times and we don’t trust the Trump administration.
But doing illegal things tends to get you arrested. The conscience bit usually comes at a trial. She wasn’t arrested for a judgement she handed down, but for doing something that was illegal. That’s the point. Thus not so unexpectedPuja wrote: ↑Sun Apr 27, 2025 7:59 pmNot sure I can agree with you on "overstepped the mark."

It is worth noting that "warrant issued by a judge" is not necessarily equivalent to "guilty", especially not in America where judges are political appointments that do not necessarily need to have any experience in the law whatsoever, but even if we assume he is absolutely guilty and an utter piece of trash, he should be getting a trial in front of a jury of his peers. It's very easy to only defend the unequivocally innocent ones, and say "Oh, this one's accused of X and Y so he's trash", but rights have to be for everyone, or anyone can find themselves moved into the "not worthy of due process bucket" at any time.
Her act was definitely illegal. So was hiding people from the Gestapo. I started typing a sentence to say "we're not there yet," bu when ICE is disappearing people to Salvadoran oubliettes for the crime of "having a tattoo and brown skin", I'm not sure the qualifier is appropriate anymore.
Illegal, sure. Not in her duty or responsibilities as a judge, probably. In her position as a human being - that's a solid mark to be stepping up to.

Utterly wild. I don't have much time for Piers Morgan but, on the rare occasion that he and I share a position, he does do a very good job of pinning people down to their stupid opinions. Sadly, given the state of the world, I suspect that she's done it as a business decision, given that it's now very lucrative to be a "courageous racist, saying what the liberal elite don't want to hear."

I absolutely disagree with Piers Morgan, when he calls her a "despicable human being." Piers, you fucking trash-ass idiot, racists aren't human beings.Puja wrote: ↑Thu May 08, 2025 4:24 pm https://bsky.app/profile/sonic.bsky.soc ... m2zwmra22a

Great way to depress tourism, JD. Hope the teams don't mind playing to empty stadiums. You'd have to be pretty football crazy to go and risk watching the matches from a detention centre.
