Diddlydee , in US Army speaks out against Trump

‘No video has been released yet’ to the surprise of no one.

braindefragger , in Texas megachurch faces exodus of worshippers after a sex abuse scandal set off a summer of turmoil
garpujol , in Israeli soldiers sexually harassing Palestinian women at Hebron checkpoint: Report

It’s a good thing this is being documented so the Tankie Zionists can’t claim it never happened.

Siegfried ,

You think they can’t?

garpujol ,

Im mocking the CCP

Siegfried ,

Oh, sorry i think im a little too tired.

garpujol ,

Life is exhausting.

fine_sandy_bottom , in US Army speaks out against Trump

“For a despicable individual to physically prevent President Trump’s team from accompanying him to this solemn event is a disgrace and does not deserve to represent the hollowed [sic] grounds of Arlington National Cemetery. Whoever this individual is spreading these lies are dishonoring the men and women of our armed forces, and they are disrespecting everyone who paid the price for defending our country,” LaCivita continued.

This is vile.

floofloof ,

It’s grammatically sickening.

rottingleaf ,

OK, this reads almost Azeri.

GiuseppeAndTheYeti ,

But also very ironic since the man doesn’t know the word ‘hallowed’ is different than ‘hollowed’

Zess , in Trump takes sexist Harris attacks to ‘whole other level’ on Truth Social

Donald Trump is a rapist.

And republicans love that about him, because it distracts from their own rapings in their minds

Choose one.

act like

mosiacmango , (edited )

He was consistently sexually assaulting the 12-17yr old victim before the millions rolled in.

He has 100% been acting like a good person when he made millions by pretending that his repeated pedophilia was just an “moral failing” that had been “restored.” He even lied about getting her father’s blessing to resume being a pastor.

The man has been lying to himself and everyone around him for nearly four decades.

oof

Time for today’s fun game!

“Is it Georgia the repressive country or Georgia the aspiringly-repressive US state” has been replaced by “Is it Colombia the sometimes unstable and badly governed country or Columbia the sometimes unstable and always badly governed US university”

    Professorozone , in Some European Cities Are Rebelling Against Overtourism

    I’ll be happy to stay away from those places. I don’t want to go where I’m not welcome. Just need a list to find out which places are unfriendly.

    realcaseyrollins OP ,

    America itself is pretty big, with a lot of cultures. I’d traverse the mainland before visiting Europe.

    Professorozone ,

    But you’d still be in America.

    Rusty ,

    Are you implying that everyone on lemmy is American or are you inviting everyone to visit it?

    realcaseyrollins OP ,

    I’m mostly saying I don’t get the American trend of fetishizing foreign cultures and leaving the country to explore them when you haven’t even experienced different angles of American culture yet

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    Or maybe Americans want to see things that aren’t America.

    Because I’ve traveled quite a bit in both the U.S. and other countries and there is a huge difference between pretty much anywhere in Europe and pretty much anywhere in the U.S.

    There’s not really much in the U.S. even all that similar to Mexico, although there are certainly places which present an idealized version of Mexico (I’m looking at you, downtown L.A. Pueblo). I’ve never been to China, but I am guessing it’s very different from any U.S. city’s Chinatown. I know that actual Italy is absolutely nothing like New York’s Little Italy or even Clinton, Indiana’s Little Italy, which was much more recently settled by Italians. There’s a bunch of old Italian guys at their Little Italy festival.

    realcaseyrollins OP ,

    That’s all pretty fair TBH

    UnderpantsWeevil , in Young Palestinian creator who shared glimpses of daily life during war dies
    @UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

    dies

    after an Israeli airstrike put him in a coma

    Another victim of the passive voice and also Israeli genocide.

    Rozz ,

    I mean it was assumed he didn’t die of natural causes, but yes, context is still important.

    leisesprecher ,

    In case you didn’t notice: much of the news coverage uses passive. "Was killed, “died”, stuff like that. Who killed them usually omitted, as if it’s a natural disaster.

    realcaseyrollins OP ,

    Yeah the headline sucked

    Effectively an admission…😅

    @subignition@fedia.io avatar

    It's real dangerous to look at someone seeking legal representation and take that as an implication of guilt.

    Not defending Mr Beast at all, I'm sure there is no shortage of actual evidence of wrongdoing

    AbouBenAdhem , (edited )

    This isn’t even a reaction to known allegations—apparently he’s just anticipating potential future trouble:

    the reason that Donaldson hired the flashy lawyer is to conduct an internal audit of his company, the likes of which has recently come under fire as the result of various scandals.

    So I think it’s fair to say it’s an admission that his conduct might be legally questionable, without taking it as a confession of guilt

    minibyte ,

    IIRC there was significant backlash over the Squid Games clone, or what was supposed to be. This is probably a wise decision.

    If you wait until you need a lawyer, you waited too long.

    sexual_tomato ,

    Companies hire outside auditors all the time. If you grew super fast and don’t retain legal counsel, that’s a great reason to give a full shakedown when you finally do hire lawyers to help with compliance.

    Melody ,

    You don’t hire a well known “PR Superstar”-level lawyer without being super worried that your conduct might be viewed as wrong in a court of public opinion, regardless of whether or not you broke the law. The Lawyer ensures public opinion doesn’t affect the possible legal case mess that’s likely going on.

    Until those legal tangles are resolved, we really won’t know more; and oftentimes details left for public record will be minimal if no wrongdoing was found.

    Personally; I think it’s possible that the allegations might not be 100% legitimate, I do believe people would love to smear him if it meant potential financial gains and social notoriety. But I also think it’s equally as possible that he is in fact as bad of a person as is alleged; and I believe he’s likely to be very much a self-serving person who hides that dark side with his very public persona. There are a number of people in creator circles who whisper stories of negative interactions with him.

    AA5B ,

    And yet, auditing for scandals in your inner circle is also something you might do if you’re trying to do the right thing. I’m not saying he is, nor that I support him, just that y’all are following other lemmings off this cliff for insufficient reasons

    BurnedDonut ,

    I don’t like Mr. Beast. But I’m a lawyer and it’s not strange that someone taking legal action to determine if there is something wrong either it’s as a person or a corporation. Considering he is using his persona for his business audits of his business is nothing out of the norm. On the other hand calling it an admission of legally questionable behavior because someone went to a court of law so that it can be decided legally is same as calling someone guilty because others felt like it. Law doesn’t work like that. You can say it’s ethically problematic but than you can’t single him out because many people joined him in such bullshit.

    Skates ,

    Of course law doesn’t work that way. Law is inherently complicated because it needs to be abused only by those with the proper resources. Also - literally nobody fucking cares how the law works unless it’s a step between where you are and where you need to go. At which point rich people will hire others to get over the step, and poor people will just jump over the step. Rich people will get away with it and get a slap on the wrist, and poor people will suffer the full wrath of the system, to make sure everyone else knows it’s for real and doesn’t question the authority of those in charge. Rich people are free, poor people are held hostage within the system and cannot break out. Law doesn’t establish morality of actions or justice, it doesn’t prevent or punish what society deems evil, it just separates those who can get away with their actions from those who can’t.

    Kill your masters.

    BurnedDonut ,

    What a childish and ignorant opinion. Do you know how many people executed in history without even hearing about what they were accused of? Or do you know how many people didn’t even have the chance to defend themselves because ignorant people like you felt like that they know they are guilty? Or how many people are lynched in the streets because someone said they are guilty? History is full of such examples. Blaming the law and asking for anarchy is not a solution. Who’s going to stop the powerful in your utopia from taking everything from you? How it’s different than your rich gets to do all claim? Law is complicated because law deals with human relations, action and their results when you come up with a simple human civilization you can make simple laws. This modern society that you despise that gave you all these amenities came as a result of laws that you despise. You wanna go back be my guest go establish your own state let’s see how long you and your like minded people will stay alive.

    takeda ,

    The allegations are that he is a dickhead, and him resorting to hiring a flashy lawyer to fight it pretty much confirms that.

    He is not a defendant here he will be a plaintiff in those suits.

    BurnedDonut ,

    First of all I don’t like this guy and I find him as something wrong with him. Secondly I’m a lawyer with over 20 years so, if I call you “fisco” a pedophile and you file a lawsuit against my claim by your own statement it’s an admission of guilt and you should be legally registered as a pedophile.

    Not covered in this story: The church leadership says hey he told us about it but we thought it was with a “young lady” and whatevs it was all cool, we’re as shocked as you are it is horrible

    The victim says what the fuck I have been telling them about it FOR YEARS NOW

    InverseParallax ,

    Church: “Curses! And I would have gotten away with it to, if it weren’t for you meddling reporters and the fact that the victim wasn’t a girl!”

    mozz ,

    ?

    I think you may be thinking of a different scandal; this one’s victim was a girl named Cindy.

    InverseParallax ,

    My bad, I’m used to “alive boy or dead girl” being the standard.
