And except for those who still support him ... we know what has to be done!

What is it, exactly, that "has to be done"?

POTUS attending the Super Bowl has got to be a logistic nightmare - and annoying for fans.

Trump is a busy boy! He did more in his first 100 hours than Biden did in 100 days. And he has now easily surpassed Biden's entire 4 years. It's encouraging to have a capable, effective and productive POTUS!

“I don’t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong,”

Agreed. It is lamentable that people would do that.

"Trump can go to hell…," said Samir Abu Basel, a father of five in Gaza City displaced from his house by the war.

I’m sure Trump has no intention of actually going to Gaza, but he’s probably appreciative of the invitation.

The poor driver must be terrified down there.

Sadly, I think a week is more than even a young, healthy man could endure in those conditions. I have little hope for a rescue.

Posted in: Ex-lawmaker gets suspended sentence for raping junior high school girl See in context

If you read the article, it's pretty clear.

"The Tokyo District Court found Tamotsu Shiiki, 58, guilty of nonconsensual sexual intercourse."

It’s hard to tell. Every time something like this comes up, people scream, “minors can’t consent!” So pardon the confusion.

Posted in: Japan's posh pet market grows as owners pamper their 'family members' See in context

Saw a middle aged couple with a baby car at a festival performance. The father reached over to pick up their baby. Despite the crowd pushing into my back, I moved as best as I could to give him room. It was hard enough avoiding falling over the baby car with lateral force on my entire backside and only the low baby car in front of me.

it was his miniature poodle. These people inconvenience countless others with their oversized carrier — for a dog! And don’t get me started about the people who show up to festivals with small dogs on a long leash, letting the dog walk around!

Absolutely self centered!

Another post referred to Floyd -- the Black man killed by U.S. police, whose death in 2020 sparked mass anti-racism protests -- as a "drug addict and a scammer."

All true. What is the problem?

Partially true. He was a drug addict. I don’t know about the scammer claim. But he was not killed by the police. Bro overdosed.

Well, he was right. He simply no longer has the balls to speak the truth because he hopes to win a prize from the weirdos in LA.

Posted in: Gov't pulls ads from Fuji TV after scandal See in context

So you do actually mean the young women too, then?

If they were attending said parties, then yes. If they were attending any other sort of event where people were taking advantage of them, then probably no. Pretty sure the article said "party" tho. I mean, what girl in her right mind would willingly go somewhere that she knew others had been taken advantage of and that she would also be abused somehow. Suggesting that maligns the women in the entertainment industry, imo.

No. The “an” can be safely removed in his case.

Note my use of the term "I think."

As long as you realize you were mistaken, it's all good.

Who do you think the people were that were having all the fun, then?

The people at the party. It's rather simple.

Posted in: Gov't pulls ads from Fuji TV after scandal See in context

Not "having fun" in general, but in a way that facilitates abuse of young women. This reflects a culture where this was thought as normal and was abused by people with undue amount of power over the women.

The article didn’t state that - and Japan Today is always complete and accurate in its coverage.

Posted in: Gov't pulls ads from Fuji TV after scandal See in context

I think you mean celebrities having fun. I'm not sure about the young women.

You’re not sure about the young women, but you’re certain you know what I mean - even though I said something completely different.

riiiiight
