@Memor-X I think they're probably right that it qualifies as compelled speech, though I'm not sure if there's a carve-out for this sort of thing
In general, in my opinion, if someone commits a crime, including a sex crime, and gets convicted and serves out their sentence, they shouldn't have the additional punishment of being made a social pariah forever.

(I don't quite agree with the phrase but... mostly a "Sure, all american cops are guilty by association and not putting a stop to the abuses of their co-workers... but that's not all cops, america isn't the world" thing, so it's 11312)
Nice overview of the random, scattered nature of attempted excuses/defenses of Trump by various groups including GOP congressmen and Trump-friendly media, and their (lack of) effectiveness as more damning information continues to come out
> Trump famously declared he wouldn’t lose any support if he shot somebody on Fifth Avenue. The crucial dynamic here is that if he did try this, while conservatives might initially experience some dismay, they would quickly recover and produce the same counterarguments. The Journal would be pointing out that the person he shot is in critical but stable condition and might well survive, thereby clearing Trump of murder.
> Hewitt would be noting that Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812, U.S. Grant in the Civil War, and Teddy Roosevelt at San Juan Hill are all examples of other presidents who have shot people. Shapiro would suggest Trump was perhaps just pursuing his long-standing interest in fighting urban crime.

I think the worst I've done is confused Google Assistant because they interpreted something I said to a customer as "hey google" so they tried to search to help about random words I said
@Yuuki why isn't he in jail at the moment? Isn't he being charged? Or is it still in the preliminary investigation phase? Or is he just being civilly sued?
> "I believe you can have both of those positions: you can have a personal view and you can acknowledge that in Canada, the prime minister does not impose a particular viewpoint on Canadians," he said of his opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage.
Oh look, he finally sort of gave a straight answer to that question
(Trigger warning) More than 1 in 7 girls say they were sexually assaulted by another student — but schools lack policies to help cbc.ca/news/canada/…
> 9% of boys reported sexual assault by peers
> "What concerns me is that people [will] dismiss this number … because they think it's too high and that can't be possible. And yet it is possible."
> Although she didn't know it at the time, Brooke was one of three girls at the school to come forward with allegations against the same student
> The school contacted the RCMP, and the male student, who cannot be named because of a publication ban, was arrested and charged with six counts of sexual assault, among other offences.
> Three separate trials took place in the following months. The student was eventually acquitted of four counts of sexual assault, including those related to Brooke. The two other charges were dropped by the Crown, and he pleaded guilty to sexual interference in one case.
Names have been changed for the girls to protect their privacy
This ruling is important not just for the content that will get turned over to the House, but for the validation of the House's impeachment inquiry as legitimate
> “Congress’s need to access grand jury material relevant to potential impeachable conduct by a President is heightened when the Executive Branch willfully obstructs channels for accessing other relevant evidence,” Howell said.
> Marketplace reviewed violence prevention policies in various provinces and found that many school boards lump sexual violence with other forms of bullying. Sexual assault is often listed alongside offences such as physical violence and vandalism.
@Yuuki BOYS WILL BE BOYS
> When good policies are matched with staff who are trained and students who are properly educated, experts say children are less likely to be exposed to sexual violence.
@Wipqozn @Yuuki School administrators have their head buried so far in the sand it sticks out the other side of the Earth. What a bad global society we have.
