As a consumer no i don't like that control. As a capitalist i would be a hypocrite to condemn his actions. Would you agree that if the government stepped in that would be an act of socialism?

You can make up your own mind if a capitalist society is immoral, or that it cannot regulate itself and that the government's assistance is needed to instill ethics..
That is a slippery slope to becoming a true socialist country.

“Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, has been heralded by Democratic politicians and left-wing media as offering America a “new masculinity.”

But reports emerged Wednesday that Emhoff once drunkenly assaulted an ex-girlfriend because he thought she was flirting with another man.

The Daily Mail reported Wednesday that Emhoff has been accused of slapping a former girlfriend during an altercation in 2012, according to allegations made by friends of the woman involved.

The alleged incident occurred in Cannes, France, after the couple attended a star-studded gala, and comes as Emhoff has presented himself as a strong advocate for women’s rights during his tenure as the nation’s Second Gentleman.

Emhoff, who was celebrated by Maine Democrats when he visited a Portland abortion clinic earlier this year, also acknowledged in August that he’d had an extramarital affair.

In response to questions from CNN, Emhoff acknowledged cheating on his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, with their then ten-year-old daughter’s teacher and nanny. Sources told British media that the woman Emhoff slept with became pregnant as a result of the assignation, but she “did not keep the child.” It’s not clear whether she elected to have an abortion or gave the child up for adoption.

The ex-girlfriend Emhoff allegedly assaulted, identified by the Daily Mail only as “Jane” to protect her identity, was reportedly struck by Emhoff after he accused her of flirting with another man. Three friends of Jane provided corroborating accounts to the outlet, detailing how she called one of them in tears shortly after the incident, stating that Emhoff had struck her across the face with significant force.

The friends, who spoke under anonymity for fear of reprisal, recounted Jane’s description of the evening. After attending an AIDS charity gala at the Hotel du Cap in Antibes, the two were waiting in line for a car when Emhoff allegedly became enraged, believing Jane was flirting with a valet. In response, he reportedly slapped her hard enough to cause her to spin around. Jane reportedly ended the relationship that night.

These claims contrast sharply with Emhoff’s public image as a supporter of gender equality and women’s rights. ”

SB,

Yup. Every accusation is a confession. He's a petulant child. He has clearly demonstrated an utter lack of capacity for adult conversation or debate, and DunningKruger rules his psyche. When his drivel falls on enlightened ears that defy his will, he devolves into insults. Typical little-man syndrome.

Thanks. Brad.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Thanks. Brad.

Hey VelocityDave, did Kamala win the primary ? Did you vote for her ? Anyone you know , or know of, vote for her in the primary ?

You’re party did not like her, thought she was hurting Biden’s chances of re-election, so was looking to replace her on the ticket. Than BAM ! Biden showed his decline, and there she was, on a deserted island, the sun rose that am and the only person there was her. Your party and your media immediately went full throttle , made her your only dem choice and told you it’s only her or hitler.

You followed. Jaybot followed. Many of your peers followed. But Many dems and independents saw that sunlight and realised it was lights from dem video cameras.

Propaganda is not only fake news, it is also news they don’t tell you.

If Trump is Hitler, why didn’t happen his 1st 4 yrs. And moving the embassy to Jerusalem ? No other president did, even though they said they would. That what Hitler would do. Jeez.

I find it funny that the two in this thread that are for “peace hope love man” are the ones posting more insults and calling more names.

It’s trump’s fault.
