There's an interesting technological revolution that took off around the time Kennedy became the president: https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/minute/The_First_Televised_Presidential_Debate.htm

Though Kennedy's election wasn't the first televised presidential debate, TV was still in its infancy. I watched some shit on YouTube that said when Abraham Lincoln did speeches/rallies/debates they would be like 4 fucking hours long and go into things with depth and complexity when Kennedy came around they dumbed down things to fit into like 4 minutes.

So I guess I would just add "television/1960s TikTok" to you saying he got elected "based on his name, wealth and looks". I haven't seen the presidential debate from Kennedy's era that got him elected but I can guess he probably worked extremely well in front of a camera and his charisma shined through the TV set.

edit: this is the video that covered the change in debates - it's a 12 minute long video so very watchable and very interesting:

Amusing Ourselves to Death is a book about the issue. released in 1985. Roger Waters, of Pink Floyd fame, released an album named Amused to Death in 1992. It was inspired by the book and covers similar ground. Its pretty good.

Well there you have it. Rape isn't about sex, it's about power, and convincing women to engage in consensual sex is the rapiest kind of rape there is.

It's more about how much of a blithering hypocrite Harry and his gay cabal are at calling men out for predatory behavior - when they're engaging in more or less the same activities.

Federal judge blocks Trump's ban on transgender people serving in military​

A federal judge has granted an injunction that temporarily blocks the US military from enforcing Donald Trump’s executive order barring transgender people from military service while a lawsuit by 20 current and would-be service members challenging the measure goes forward.

Judge Ana Reyes stayed her order from going into effect until Friday morning to give the government to seek an emergency appeal.

Clock me if I'm late - and I was day behind in this thread - but there was talk of 'Hamilton' and this was found in the order:

Just incredibly cringy, but Zoomies are made of cringe. Also, have we confirmed that the women are actual women? Maybe harry likes the girldick.

How many times has a judge told Trump he can't repeal executive orders from Obama and Biden?
