Kal-El814 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 When the greatest consequences for people in power who violate the law are, "lose your current job," and/or, "pay some money you can easily afford," we can expect this stuff to continue forever. Be it a governor harassing a shitload of people, a car manufacturer pumping 40x more CO2 into the air than they claimed, a family poisoning the public with opioids, a comedian gatekeeping / sexually harassing... it's ridiculous.

Do you have a link to that? The only person I was aware of who got prison time was someone on the engineering team, but it’s been a while since I looked into it.

Germany asked for him, and so we extradited him to Germany in 2020. This year he got paroled. So he didn’t serve all of his 7 year sentence. About 4 years.

Kal-El814 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I mean… I believe that Chris means that he tried to do the right thing and he probably has blinders on when it comes to his brother; all of this is understandable. That said none of that shit should have happened in the first place for really obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew M. Cuomo and his staff, saying that his participation was ‘inappropriate’ and that he will not take part in such discussions in the future. Quote The cable news anchor encouraged his brother to take a defiant position and not to resign from the governor’s office, the people said. At one point, he used the phrase “cancel culture” as a reason to hold firm in the face of the allegations, two people present on one call said.

Xbob42 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Like I've been saying for years, once your approval rating as a politician drops below 50%, you should be immediately incinerated. Those who manage to stay above 50% will be incinerated at the end of their term instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
