      When congressman Jamie Raskin began wearing bandanas while enduring cancer treatments, he credited E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt, and his signature scarves, for his new look. Van Zandt has now taken Raskin's fashion options a step further and gifted the Maryland Democrat a bandana.

      "You are about to see a step up in my chemo head-cover fashions for the next few months," Raskin tweeted, alongside a photo of him donning his new bandana.

      I don't think crack cocaine addicted street prostitutes are fully "consenting" to the economic and social torture being inflicted on them for the crime of being a poor woman. Hunter is just as much a rapist as his father and Trump

        Yes a lot of prostitutes are physically forced into it and many more are economically coerced but prostitution is not a sex crime. Paying prostitutes is not rape.

        Illegalizing prostitution is the real crime because it destroys the agency of women to choose to do sex work and limits their access to legal recourse if they have crimes done to them.

        Asserting that all prostitutes are slaves with no agency infantilizes sex workers and undermines the struggle of sex worker unions.

          Paying prostitutes is not rape

          Paying them isn't, the rape is the rape part with the sexual assault not the payment for said sexual assault.

          Illegalizing prostitution is the real crime because it destroys the agency of women to choose to do sex work and limits their access to legal recourse if they have crimes done to them

          Libertarian argument that idealistically ignores economic coercion and the impossibility to consent under these conditions. Next.

          Asserting that all prostitutes are slaves with no agency infantilizes sex workers and undermines the struggle of sex worker unions.

          Everyone who gets raped should get justice and their rapists should be stopped and the law should protect them not protect their rapists and systematize and tax and benefit from that systematic rape.

            "Economic coercion" is a fact of animal life. Unless you are a plant who lives and dies by the whims of the weather we all have to work to survive.

            Following your logic professional athletes should get sent to prison for every tackle, trip, foul, check, etc. as their opponents are economically coerced into being assaulted. If profit incentive makes every action non consensual then nobody in the history of ever has done anything by their free will. This course of thinking makes the term "consensual" meaningless as it would be completely theoretical.

            If prostitutes aren't having consensual sex than nobody is. All sex is transactional. Ideally the transaction is that each party is pleasing the other in exchange for being pleased but this is never the entirety of the exchange. There are always a ton of other motivations and unexpressed and unconscious reasons and desires. Prostitution is simply the process of taking the guess work out of the transaction and making the expectations clear cut and simple.

            Sex work is the same as any other service or entertainment job. (Prostitution is only a specific expression of the general prostitution of the labourer -Marx) All people have to work in order to sustain themselves even under Communism. "from each according to their abilities..."

            Sex work is a viable and valuable profession. Not everyone is capable of finding and maintaining a sexual relationship and while ending capitalism might help a lot of those people it wont help them all. The majority of consumers of sex work are working class people who are too hurt by capitalism to find a non-profit outlet for their need for physical affection. Capitalists rich fucks engaged in "bougie decadence" is a minor part of the industry by volume.

            Would you deny the proletariat music and film by destroying all jobs in entertainment? Would you deny them therapists or counselors? Why would you deny them the physical and emotional comforts of a prostitute?

            Yes the industry is full of bad actors and exploitation in the worst ways but those are flaws with capitalism not the industry itself. Same thing with drugs. There is nothing inherently bad with getting high but the systems of exploitation and abuse that come from and feed into the recreational drug industry are horrific.

          Felix went over how it'd have to be both Jr and Eric to be remotely fair to the colossus that is Hunter way back during the election and that Hunter would STILL crush them.

      ow is this not a massive scandal in the US?

      It is, for Republicans. Democrats ignore it. Just like they ignored Tara Reade. Just like Republicans ignored "Grab them by the pussy" and "Stormy Daniels." It's just a bunch of bourgeois partisan hackery and lazy mudslinging between ruling class hypocrites. They all come together and reach across the aisle when it's time to bomb the global south or throw more people in ICE camps.

      Like how come Clinton’s blowjob was international news but the presidents son being a crack addict with connections to sex trafficking and high level corruption is not?

      I mean JFK was constantly cheating on his wife with Marilyn Monroe. And I'm pretty sure Herbert Hoover was having sex with a woman 1/3 his age in the white house closet or something. This kinda thing is normal among the American ruling class. They use it to mudsling at each other, but nobody really cares when their team does it.

        a fun moment in Hell of Presidents is when they're talking about Cleveland's campaign when it came out that he had an illegitimate son. Blaine supporters would chant "Ma! Ma! Where's my Pa?" and after Cleveland won Clevand supporters responded to it with shouts of "Gone to the White House, ha ha ha!"

        Just like they ignored Tara Reade.

        #metoo movement, 2017-2020. That brief, shining moment.

        "Compassion for rape victims is one thing. Taking allegations seriously is one thing. We have a democracy under threat from a fascist president. Tara Reade is an adult and she needs to be treated like one AND she needs to act like one. Prove your claim Tara. The burden is on her.

        One person is accused of rape, which the other person denies - which means either one person is a rapist or the other is making up a claim bout rape in the middle of a presidential campaign and by extension derailing democracy in America and imperiling the lives of millions."

      Libs think that Trump was a stain on the honor of an otherwise respectable institution, but at the same time they now feel that the bar for what is acceptable behavior from the presidential family has been lowered. Respectability basically just means you don't tweet about it when you're sniffing lines of blow off some young woman's breasts out of embezzled bills. As long as they can say, "so what, you voted for the grab 'em by the pussy guy," they'll be able to claim moral superiority and that's really what this is all about.

      The GOP astroturfed the Clinton scandal to marginalize him politically. People only cared because the GOP and allied media blew it up and used it as a circus. No one really cares about Hunter - The core beliefs of the modern GOP are so insane and untethered from reality that "Guy does drugs, gets blowjob from sex worker" is too mundane, and the Democrats have a party line of never, ever, ever acknowledging anything bad about Biden that rises to a sort of Mentat like auto-brain-washing.

      Basically the Democrats refuse to admit it happened and if it did happened it isn't important, and the GOP are, literally, screaming about Democrats harvesting the pineal glands of children and Trans people making their kids queer using Satanic powers. Shit is just too bizarre and unhinged for anyone here to really care.

      For the record I support drug legalisation, but I don’t support the kind of economic apartheid of one rule for the rich and another for everyone else.

      No, see, Hunter Biden is based because he's rich & can do whatever he wants, and makes chuds mad when doing so. If you're broke & never get to have any fun, you just need to learn that that's your lot in life & deal with it, or kill yourself.

              The whole reason that the liberals don't take this seriously is because the right make it about the wrong things.

              Prostitution is not a sex crime. Doing drugs only hurts yourself. Neither of these things is "bad" in and of itself.

              Paying for those things with money from corruption and graft is the crime here.

      Because nobody cares about Hunter Biden himself. Nobody is invested in him like they are in a president, he's not really a "public figure". He only exists as this character somewhere in the void that people mention every now and then, he's not the same kind of public figure that the Trump kids are, for example.

      It's not a story like "This nice, well-spoken young man who I see on the telly all the time did cocaine off of a stripper's bare tits? I can't believe it!"

      It's more "Biden's son who's known for doing coke and fucking prostitutes did coke and fucked prostitutes again, go figure."

      1. Because things are so partisan in America that even this amongst voters is something the opposing "team" will just waive off.

      2. Because scandals like this in America amongst the rich and powerful are pretty normal.

      3. People feel disenfranchised and feel like there is such a separation between this and their normal lives that it isn't worth getting worked up about outside of jokes.

      4. Because Hunter Biden isn't the President.

      the culture, and specifically the media, has changed a lot. we've had like a high profile sex scandal every month since then. "the rich and powerful are all drug addicted sex creeps!" -- the story was old news before it even broke.

      also the 90s was sort of the peak of evangelical Christianity's cultural power. you'll recall that John F. Kennedy was a well known womanizer and it hardly raised an eyebrow. Attitudes reversed sharply during the Carter administration and by the Reagan years, obscenity on television was an issue that the "moral majority" were actually voting on. Now that militant bloc of Concerned Parents has fizzled out into an unruly mob of divorcees and childless tradcaths who worship a golfer real estate agent who makes fun of them in his speeches and doesn't go to church, and who began his campaign with a voice recording where he claimed to enjoy sexual assault.

    I do have to give the Republicans credit. Even though this is just the opposite side of all the investigations, hearings, etc. on Donald Trump and ultimately pointless (Maybe if we have a 5th hearing on Donald Trump being a criminal or Hunter smoking crack and having sex with prostitutes, it will sway voters in a way the previous 4 didn't). The Hunter stuff is more salacious and straight-forward than the Russiagate shit.

    How do we even know that these women were fellating Hunter? Maybe she's a doctor inspecting a mole and she's only naked because Hunter said he'd be more comfortable taking his clothes off for the examination if she took hers off, too.
