Like people knew about R Kelly for YEARS. If a black man was pissing on white children in sex tapes they would have drawn and quartered him.

I still have no way to parse how in the gently caress he walked away from the 2002 incident other than "because racism," more specifically misogynoir. Dude videotaped himself committing statutory rape yet was found not guilty on all charges.

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
The National Enquirer is used to blackmailing celebrities and politicians who are worth “only” millions of dollars and have a career to worry about. They bit off way WAY more then they can chew trying to pull the same poo poo with Bezos.

Why would any try to blackmail the richest man in the world? He doesn't have to care about anyone's opinion of him; he's so high up, he'd be really hard to bring down. Also, he has small countries GDP amount of money. Even small countries have intelligence agencies...

I've been thinking about how delusional you must be about how powerful you are to try to blackmail someone like Jeff Bezos with something as innocuous as some lame rear end dick pics.

Surely the only way you carry that plan to fruition, without coming to some sort of realization that it's a bad loving idea, is to have done this countless times before. To have become so comfortable with blackmailing people that they genuinely don't consider the possibility that it doesn't go exactly according to plan, betrays that AMI has done this over and over and over without it ever blowing up in their faces.

Pride comes before the fall. Get hosed, Pecker.

And what's the chance Bezos continues that 'no budget limit' investigation/defence to find every crime they've comitted. Heck he can blow the entire budget of Mueller's investigation to date and not even notice it if he's motivated to.

I'm a nuclear engineer. They're different. If we tried to hand the Navy a directive to build a fleet, they'd just subcontract it to Areva or something because they'd rightly realize it's waaaaaay beyond their capabilities to fix American nuclear power outside of telling the NRC to eat poo poo and throwing infinite money at the problem.

Politics chat: I really really wanna see the natl enquirer die.

Im definately not a nuclear anything and I definately defer to your expertise, but isn't the reason we use pressurized water reactors in power supply because the Navy uses them? As far as I know they aren't using anything crazy like liquid metal/NaK cooling?

Yeah, that's a possibility I didn't really think about.

What they've done is such a mind-numbingly bad idea that if it's the case that they were simply desperate, they must be tied up in some horrific dealings

People do not give a gently caress about black women and black girls. Black girls are called "fast" and accused of being more sexually developed.

I can't find it but there was an amazing essay on "Fast Girls"& how black girls are blamed for their own sexual abuse and rapes.

I think I mentioned this before but the first time I was cat called and sexually harassed (outside of my family's sexual abuse) I was 11 years old and one of my cousins was talking about how she was sexually active with a man in their mid 20s.

Saudi Arabia has far more money and power than Bezos. They straight up murdered a US resident in plain sight on the international stage and got away with it. They have an army with US-built weapons, aircraft, etc. Bezos has a newspaper and some toys. AMI is just a pawn in this game.
