    Let he whose fucking party demands our votes and constitution be restored be sainted, and all the rest thrown to the wolves! If I wanted a fucking soap opera I would watch broadcast TV and if I want porn I can get better porn for free! Without our votes and constitution, soap operas and porn are more appealing than watching their nonsense. Donald Duck is inciting civil war, and 40% of the fucking country is backing him up! What does it take for the American people to realize their government no longer serves anyone? Maybe if Donald Duck withdraws all our troops from NATO and starts WWIII, just for an excuse to declare martial law and tell congress to shove it?

  2. Watch the movie Kate & Leopold. There's a lesson in it about this very sort of thing.

    Was the staffer from work? How old was the staffer? Were they the same age? These are the types of questions that I would be asking.

    I don't think naivety very adequately describes my position. There is a growing list of people in power who have resigned over misconduct; many times sexual. Katie Hill didn't break the law, but she betrayed the public trust (by misrepresenting herself as a mild-mannered married politician). I would say also that she took advantage of the staffer, though she was an adult. Despite them being consenting adults, I would argue that she doesn't adhere to the types of values I want involved in decision making. That isn't naïve.

    In this day and age everyone and their mother wants to believe themselves to be a part of some kind of sexuality. I feel like I'm being thrown under the bus because you want to believe that you're some kind of player! You may or may not be; maybe you're a member of a swanky website or participate in online dating. Either way I think that politically we need thinkers in the game, and I think that type of behavior shows indiscretion.

    What if it were a man? If this were a threesome with a male congressman I bet some folks would scream bloody murder. & what about Donald Trump and his inappropriate comments about grabbing women's private parts? Are we condemning one thing as being over a line but not the other? I feel there may be a double standard. And if we ignore it, we're setting a weird precedent.

    But I don't really care what she did. I'm a sexual kinda guy... :kissingcat::kissingclosed::kissingheart::kissingsmiling: :tongueclosed::tongueout::tonguewink::screamcat:

    The thing that I found disturbing about the Access Hollywood tape was the bragging about using power and status to take advantage of women. Not okay.

    I think I'd see it differently if she were merely seeing one person or the other; regardless of their gender. But she's being naughty. That allows one to draw questions about her motives.

    And if it were a man we'd all be screaming debauchery, demagoguery, and heresy. If you don't think that's true tell me so, but I think it probably is. "Oh, the guy is plowing his staffer while his wife giggles in the corner of the bed". :hearteyes:

    Its already possible to make deep fakes on any kid's graphics card, and one expert on the subject insists within three years it be possible to make much more convincing deep fakes. Soon enough, you can watch porn, comedy, or whatever videos of whoever you want. Porn's big advantage, is there isn't a lot of dialogue or plot. The current PC enthusiast computers can easily render such things and next gen consoles coming out next year will even be able to render them. The Unity gaming engine already allows anyone with a VR headset to design and build their own virtual reality, without any experience, if you want to watch them up close and personal.

    As the children of Fundamentalists leave home for higher education and jobs in the more urban areas they have adopted this same view, that sane politics are the issue, and not what someone does in the bedroom. If you don't have a little fantasy in your sex life, sucks to be you.

    I'm still wondering where the nude photo of this representative came from. You mentioned deep fake. It would be so easy to discredit anyone that way.

    Quantum mechanics has implied for over a century that, ultimately, nothing makes any damned sense whatsoever. In other words, we must take life and the greater truth on faith, we must make a leap of faith and pay it forward for our freedom and awareness to have any meaning. When the quantum internet becomes widely available, each will have to decide for themselves if they are talking with an AI or a person, conducting business with people or machines. The same advances that will empower such AI will also ensure that speculation, such as on Wall Street, becomes a less profitable venture run by machines, making it more profitable to actually share our words, play nice, and invest in each other.

    The legal system and society will either learn how to share their words and play nice, or be swept aside. The AI will make it easy to become whoever you so desire, for better or for worse. It has already been possible for over ten years to put a lie detector in every cellphone and television, while fact checkers are making rapid progress. Nobody wants to use them, but that will change very soon, within three years when the internet and even your laptop will require AI applications just to work. At the current rate of progress, within a decade, a modest laptop should have the theoretical capacity to operate a Star Trek holodeck, and you can already build such a machine, for around three to four thousand dollars. The newest Threadripper processors and upcoming graphics cards will have far more capacity that is required, roughly 160 teraflops, and you can add in things like Intel's stochastic learning chip for a few hundred bucks extra.

    Honesty is just more efficient, so I tell people to Get Over It Already! Nobody, but nobody, can hand you your own soul on a platter!

  16. Likely as not, it came from her own personal pornography collection. She is the kind of girl who has threesomes. Let's not be naive. She's probably a part of some b-list porno ring.

    So, Congressperson, Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset?

    Maybe. Or what they used to call a "useful idiot". Jill Stein played the role in 2016.

    Our Green Party Candidate is a bit of an aside; yet If I'm upset, I will Question the Candidate's voters. These voters, like cats cannot be herded by Democra
