Usually people go to prison before they become president of South Africa.

Zuma was in jail on Robben Island at the same time Mandela was, I think.

Sadly I think with the rise in Incels this type of thing will become more common. Apparently there is a guy in Toronto who lives proudly with his Real Doll wife.

Army veteran has a ‘child’ with his life-size doll ‘wife’

March 17, 2020

A US Army veteran in Georgia has seemingly taken “mail-order brides” to a new level- and has seemingly gone off the deep end.

...

There’s only one problem: Stephanie is a life-sized doll, devoid of life or sentience.

...Sporting giant breasts on an almost tiny-childlike frame, Stephanie’s backstory is that she was “saved” East from a life in China.

“I met Terry W. East online and two weeks later I was out of tyranny away from my homeland China and in his arms on my way to becoming an American,” Stephanie “wrote” on Facebook.

East has been spotted with his “bride” in photos, accepting holiday gifts from her and even being seen “passed out” on the floor after a night of drinking.
...

Stephanie has also recently “given birth” to a baby doll, adding to the family.

According to some users posting on Stephanie’s social media page, Terry East is allegedly a “wounded veteran that came back not right in the head,” and took on “Stephanie” as his “wife.”

“His family and friends were even a part of it,” Kaylie Wadyka claimed. “His mom was there for the ‘birth’ of the baby.”

How long till there a doll-doll marriage? Maybe the kid will blow up and be the first

I wonder if Milo came up with that scam all on his own or had some help

Wow, you mean to tell me conservative outrage about CANCEL CULTURE and WRONGTHINK was entirely performative and they aren't actually defenders of free speech? Oh my god, I'm so shocked, I never ever could have predicted that

Bill Cosby's conviction overturned and freed from prison.

The decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in the Cosby case isn't going to surprise many lawyers. As a matter of fact, Cosby of course is guilty as sin. But what the DA did here was insane, and the fact that the trial court went along with it is also insane.

Now now he enjoys a presumption of innocence just like anyone else who had a conviction overturned or vacated on a technicality.

He enjoys a presumption of guilty and vindicated. Pervert and legal hero. Rich and ashamed

U.S. Proposal for 15% Global Minimum Tax Wins Support From 130 Countries

Alabama police: Nearly two dozen shots fired into Democratic state senator's home

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-w...mocratic-state

"According to Mobile police spokesman Lt. Christopher Levy, the attack "does not appear to be a random act," but they haven't been able to determine if it was motivated by the senator's political stances, AL.com reports."

Nah, overturned conviction equates to presumption of innocence. It's why lots of former defendants who were freed on such technicalities are often erroneously referred to as "exonerated".
