    Desi Lydic of The Daily Show says a mistress is included with the leather jacket. Funny stuff.

      Unless it’s little girls or he raped someone this really isn’t that big news. What’s this Bill Clinton morality suddenly popping up.

        Now that you mention it, I wonder if Monica Lewinsky’s current boyfriend sometimes thinks he’s the president of the US when she’s blowing him.

        Subordinates and spies are newsworthy.

        If these were randoms on hinge (or grinder) then hopefully there would be less uproar.

        Affairs are in the news all of the time. What’s up with you thinking this is some unusual thing? The morality never left.

        Shouldn’t you be moderating fifty empty subs, posting to yourself?

          As if an affair is news to oust a CEO over when the entire Western elite is raping children lmao.

          What’s the problem? Mad that you’re not allowed to post your imperialist propaganda to one of my communities?

        It’s maybe not news in America, because your president is a pedo rapist. Other countries mostly frown on this behaviour.

    Just fuck an escort if you are so horny and an unfaithful piece of shit. Having an affair with an employee and a business partner is the dumbest thing you can do as a CEO.

      so a thing to understand about weird rich guy sex stuff is that they find power dynamics sexually alluring. the fact that he had power over this employee surely factored into the desireability of the encounter

            Here’s a good test for whether it’s a slur. Would you say it in front of someone with Down’s Syndrome, or would you find another word?

            Without taking sides in this debate, let me just say that you’d have an easier time arguing that “slurs are sometimes okay to say” than trying to argue that “‘retard’ isn’t a slur”.

            It’s like, 100% a slur. You know how ethnic slurs are called ethnic slurs? That’s because there are non-ethnic kinds. Really curious what definition you use for slur that wouldn’t include “retard”. It’s an old-timey word used to describe a specific type of person, which is now largely considered offensive by that type of person, and has become used in a general sense as an insult…I mean, what box does it not check?

              personally i do consider it a slur and avoid it accordingly, but i think the difference with this one is that colloquial usage took it over entirely. i’m fairly sure the average person does not think of down syndrome when they hear that slur, they just think of a particularly stupid person. which is also how the words “idiot” and “dumb” stopped being slurs over time, even though those also used to refer to medical conditions.

              this might differ between cultural backgrounds, i suspect that’s why it was categorised as a slur in contemporary internet culture. but it’s pretty hard to find another slur that doesn’t unambiguously, inseparably refer to a particular group it degrades. with the r-slur, some people do appear to separate it, i think that’s why they insist it’s okay to use.

      Correction: Doing so without a prenup is dumber.

        He fucked her, not beat her in a fight.
        Of course it’s about sex. Power makes sexy. But he was probably just extremely horny for some variety.

      So far… I convinced than 99,9% of the bilionaries have one of those secret places epstein style to do things who would make the the movie “Hostel” look like a pg13 shopping mall movie

    I’m convicted this guy consulted with every AI over who would be okay to fuck at any given time.

    “Hey, Claude, should I have sex with this hot Chinese lady? (Uploads nude)”

    “Sex is a very entertaining and sane activity for most people when done responsibly. This particular picture you uploaded shows some healthy attributes that most men would define as attractive. If the occasion arises, go get her, tiger!”.

    The whole thing - from the jacket to putting is little huang werever he could - stinks of mid-life crisis mixed with the kind of entitlement and priviledge billioniares have in this society.

    Hope his wife of 40s years takes him to the cleaners.
