Protected Under "Diplomatic Immunity"

"Adult Son of Israeli Diplomat Who Ran Over Florida Police Officer Gets No Jail Time, Moves to Israel"

Avraham Gil, 19, hit a police lieutenant who was conducting a traffic stop in January, and his lawyer claimed that he was protected under “diplomatic immunity.”

How many crimes has Sparry committed in the US?

X-Manson Annotated Chapter Three - Part 9 - THE ACCUSATION

I'm going to level with you. If you weren't already put off by this story, this section might seal the deal for you. This section deals with Emma Frost being placed at the center of a scandal where she is accused of sexually abusing her students. It's awful, but it is integral to understanding the world of this story. This will be the last section of Chapter 3.

tw for that, and tw for mentions of attempted suicide.

I'd like to know who this "Weedy Looking Man" is. My assumption is it is the X-Manson version of Trevor Fitzroy.

Like i said, this section isn't pretty. I am of the mindset that nothing happened, but this section will bring to the mind of some people the Satanic Panic and Q Anon conspiracy theories popular among the right wing.

Shinobi Shaw, the son of Sebastian Shaw.

*also, Doug and Marie-Ange are insufferably cute.

**Pot's legal in the United States as of 1990.

This feels like an outlandish parody until you realize that conservative media is exactly like that.

"She knew what could happen to teenaged girls" What the fuck does that mean? That feels close to "Well, you saw what she was wearing. She probably wanted it." It's a cryptic, weird thing to say.

This feels like a reflection of something you would see a lot of later in the 2000s. Ultimate Marvel used to do this thing where psychics would read minds and there would be a joke of "Oh, stop thinking about me naked." or "I wasn't thinking about it until you told me not to think about it." Shit like that. This feels like a more realistic take on how that might feel with someone with psychic powers. It isn't some kind of fun jokey thing for them. It's horrifying.

*I'm detecting a reoccurring argument between them with this line from Marie-Ange.

**That's an incredibly strange way to speak about someone, Douglas.

***She's not wrong for thinking that.

But let's focus on the thirteen students who put forward accusations against Emma.

I can't imagine who they might be. Possibly this world's version of the Hellions, sans Marie-Ange?

What were they arrested for?

Holy shit, Disney is not pissing around when it comes to copyright in this universe.

This makes sense about why Xavier kept his class sizes on the smaller end. Easier for him to be more personable and manipulate the students.

I wonder how much of that is coincidental and how much of it was orchestrated by Xavier.

The system failing to work.

She finds it difficult to maintain romantic connections if she doesn't have access to her psi-ablities? Difficulty reading the emotions of others? Autistic Emma Frost?

A full lobotomy with a gun killed her psychic abilities?

It's interesting that there are still mutant education systems in place in public schools.

I have no idea who this man is meant to be.

Also the "Roy Cohn Professor of American History" Roy Cohn? like the lawyer and all-around bastard who adored Joe McCarthy.

The Hinckley Law. This immediately puts me in mind of the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley Jr. Reagan was never Presiden in this Au, so is it possible that Hinckley attempted to assassinate him when he was running for Governer of California?

Furthermore...Did Ronald Reagan destroy Hinckley's personality?

You can tell this is fantasy because the American Left is presenting a unified front against Conservatism.

Mary Jo Kopechne was a mutant with gills!

The pear-shaped man is Sebastian Shaw. This feels like an accurate way to describe the man.

I feel like the molestations stopped around when Emma took over the school. Good god.

Sebastian, his nose heavy with clotted phlegm and coke: how can any red-blooded American man learn in the company of disgusting WHEMEN!

This feels like something from the McMartin Pre-School Scandal where kids were essentially coerced by law enforcement into making up bigger and bigger lies about satanic ritual abuse.

Example Below from the McMartin Preschool Trial's wikipedia page:

Some of the abuse was alleged to have occurred in secret tunnels beneath the school. Several excavations turned up evidence of old buildings on the site and other debris from before the school was built, but no evidence of any secret chambers or tunnels was found. There were claims of orgies at car washes and airports, and of children being flushed down toilets to secret rooms where they would be abused, then cleaned up and presented back to their parents.

The Cuban cigar angle feels like a nod to the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal.

*This reads like a modern day Trumper losing his shit.

**If you cared about your family's "Good Name" you wouldn't have named your son "Shinobi" you insufferable goddamn weeaboo.

Sebastian: the rich of america are entitled to live as kings! We are not unlike gods!

The mad philosopher Scalia. Is Antonin Scalia a supervillain in this universe?

*Again, you can tell this is a fantasy because we have the misfortune of having had Scalia on the Supreme Court.

Insane.

"That he knew of". I want to know more about what kind of Anti-Psi protection exists in this world.

All this kind of bums me out. I mean, i guess i'm happy about an au where Doug's doing kind of alright after a tragedy. But him becoming this big tech bro kind of sucks to me.

It's kind of cool that he turned Apple into a co-op. I guess.

“ Non avevi contatti con i Kennedy. No. Io nei primi anni Sessanta ho lavorato con Bobby a Chicago. Brevemente. Lavoravamo con un tizio di nome Ed Hicks che cercava di ottenere libere elezioni per i tassisti di Chicago. Kennedy era sostanzialmente un moralista. In breve tempo si sarebbe fatto una lista di nemici stupefacente e si vantava di sapere chi fossero e cosa stessero tramando. Non lo sapeva, ovvio. Quando un paio di anni piú tardi suo fratello venne ammazzato si ritrovarono invischiati in una sequela di intrighi e complotti che non sarebbero mai stati chiariti. In testa all’elenco c’erano l’omicidio di Castro e, se questo non fosse andato a segno, l’effettiva invasione di Cuba. Alla fine non credo che sarebbe successo ma è una specie di spia dei guai in cui si trovavano. Mi sono sempre chiesto se non ci sia stato un momento in cui Kennedy rendendosi conto che stava per morire non abbia sorriso di sollievo. Dopo l’ictus del vecchio Joseph per qualche motivo i Kennedy hanno ritenuto opportuno dichiarare guerra alla mafia. Ignorando lo storico accordo che il vecchio aveva stretto con loro. Non ho idea di cos’avessero in testa.

Jack continua a scoparsi la fidanzata di Sam Giancana – una signora di nome Judith Campbell. Anche se in tutta onestà – espressione curiosa – penso che Jack l’abbia vista per primo. Se non lui uno dei suoi papponi. Un tale di nome Sinatra. Cosa vogliamo dire dei Kennedy? Piú unici che rari. Un mio amico una sera a Martha’s Vineyard è andato a una festa privata e quando è arrivato Ted Kennedy stava accogliendo gli invitati sulla porta. Indossava una tuta giallo canarino ed era ubriaco. Il mio amico ha detto: Complimenti per la mise, senatore. E Kennedy ha detto sí, ma io me la posso permettere. Il mio amico – che è un avvocato di Washington – mi ha detto che i Kennedy non li aveva mai capiti. Li trovava sconcertanti. Ma quando ha sentito quelle parole dice che gli son cadute le bende dagli occhi. Ha pensato che probabilmente erano incise nello stemma di famiglia. Comunque si dica in latino. Sia come sia, non ho mai capito perché da nessuna parte esiste un monumento intitolato a Mary Jo Kopechne. La ragazza che Ted ha lasciato annegare nell’abitacolo dopo che lui ha tirato la macchina giú da un ponte. Non fosse stato per il sacrificio di quella donna quello squilibrato sarebbe diventato presidente degli Stati Uniti. Per me a parte Bobby erano solo una banda di psicopatici. Presumo che in qualche modo Bobby sperasse di poter scagionare la famiglia. Anche se certamente sapeva che non sarebbe stato possibile. Nei forzieri che avevano finanziato tutta l’impresa non c’era un solo centesimo pulito. E poi sono morti tutti. Ammazzati, perlopiú. Non sarà Shakespeare. Ma un discreto Dostoevskij. “

The Chappaquiddick incident occurred on the island in Massachusetts of the same name some time around midnight between July 18 & 19, 1969, when Senator Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy negligently drove his car off a narrow bridge, causing it to overturn in a tidal pond. This resulted in the drowning death of his 28-year-old passenger Mary Jo Kopechne, who was trapped inside the vehicle.

Ted Kennedy

Physique: Husky Build Height: 6′ 2″ (1.88 m)

Edward Moore “Ted” Kennedy (February 22, 1932 – August 25, 2009) was a United States Senator from Massachusetts and a member of the Democratic Party. He was the second most senior member of the Senate when he died and was the fourth-longest-serving senator in United States history, having served there for almost 47 years. The most prominent living member of the Kennedy family for many years, he was the last surviving son of Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. and Rose Kennedy; the youngest brother of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the father of Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy.

Handsome, hairy chest, thick ass and drunk half the time, Kennedy was known for his charisma and oratorical skills, becoming recognized as “The Lion of the Senate” through his long tenure and influence. More than 300 bills that Kennedy and his staff wrote were enacted into law. Unabashedly liberal, Kennedy championed an interventionist government emphasizing economic and social justice.

The Chappaquiddick incident in 1969 resulted in the death of his automobile passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, hindered his chances of ever becoming president. Back in the 90s I had a seroius Ted Kennedy thing going after the William Kennedy Smith rape trial and later the Clarence Thomas appointment hearings. I was just realizing my attraction to older men at the time and he was the kind of man I liked. Stocky to down right fat, thick white hair and horny as hell. Thoughts of him running around my mind with no pants on was hot. Even when I see him on TV making a speech, all I could think of was him standing behind the podium with no pants on.

Twice married with three children with his first wife, Joan Bennett Kennedy. After accusations of philandering and alcohol abuse surfaced, they divorced in 1982. 10 more years of whoring and drinking. In 1992 he remarried second wife, Victoria Kennedy and credits his recovery to his new relationship. Together the couple had two more children. On August 25, 2009, Kennedy died of a malignant brain tumor (glioblastoma) at his home in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, at the age of 77.

[wanderingmind867]

I hate the Kennedy family. I know they're a big deal in US politics, but they're almost all awful people. Let's discuss:

Family Patriarch Joseph Sr was an antisemitic man who wanted to compromise with Hitler. He was also a defeatist and very pessimistic. After like 1 year in England, he was convinced that the Nazis would win and that "democracy was finished in Britain". Quite a stellar man, no?

Then there's the story of how he gave one of his teen daughters a lobotomy because she had an intellectual disability. I'm not kidding. Rosemary Kennedy was given a lobotomy and shuffled off to a home, all because her dad thought she wasn't good enough.

Not like some of the kids were much better. JFK was a womanizer who constantly slept around on his wife. Joseph Jr died at 29, but that's a good thing. He was the oldest of the kids, and he openly praised Hitler and Eugenics. RFK cheated as much as JFK, and his son is now a nut who claims vaccines cause autism.

Finally, their youngest kid was Ted. Ted Kennedy also sucked. I know he died of Brain Cancer like my mom did, but I'm calling it as I see it. Ted Kennedy was drunk and drove and off a bridge. He had another passenger with him: 28 year old Mary Jo Kopechne. Ted Kennedy swam out of the car to safety, but went back to his hotel and slept soundly as she drowned. He never bothered to rescue her. And he did all this while his wife was pregnant! What a sleazy man.

The only Kennedy branch I respect are the Shrivers. Eunice Kennedy-Shriver was the founder of the Special Olympics. She was also the closest to Rosemary before the lobotomy. Eunice was the best of the lot. Besides Eunice and Rosemary, the rest of the family can go to hell for all I care. America's worst dynasty. A bunch of sleazy people in that family.

Here's the Most Brutally Honest Response to RFK Jr's Siblings After They Betrayed Him for Kamala

While Robert F. Kennedy Jr's family has been attacking him over his political beliefs for at least the last year, their behavior since he announced his support of the Trump/Vance presidential ticket has been shameful, to say the least.

RFK Jr's wife, actress Cheryl Hines, is standing by her husband even though she doesn't agree with him politically and even though she undoubtedly will pay a heavy professional price for her loyalty and love. It's no secret that her "Curb Your Enthusiasm" co-star Larry David has one of the more severe cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome in Hollywood, and her other colleagues are right there with him.

It's too bad RFK Jr's siblings are so blinded by their own political dogma to have that kind of grace. As Sister Toldjah shared, his sister Kerry shared a statement from a number of the siblings calling his endorsement of Trump a "betrayal of the values" their father held dear, and called this action "a sad ending to a sad story."

READ MORE: Kennedy Family Gets Deservedly Mocked After Statement on RFK Jr. Suspending Campaign and Endorsing Trump

Conservative commentator and radio host Tammy Bruce

penned an open letter to Kerry Kennedy and the rest of the family that's the most brutally honest and comprehensive response I've seen to their betrayal. Bruce posted it on X/Twitter and it's long, so I'll provide the full text below. 

It reads:

An open letter to Kerry Kennedy: You people are awful. Despite your family's checkered past and horrible behavior of so many of the men, Americans have stood with you out of loyalty, sentimentality, and too often, grief - despite the questionable establishment of your family's wealth, the treatment of Marilyn Monroe, the general womanizing, the abandonment of Mary Jo Kopechne to her death, allegations of rape, one could go on and on. But the point is, your family has stayed loyal and protective of family members who have done the most appalling of things. But the moment one of your own acts on his conscience for this country you attempt to throw him to the wolves and publicly condemn him. Never a word for the trail of abused or abandoned women left behind by a Kennedy, but because one of your men supports Trump in an effort to make the lives of Americans better, that alone is beyond the pale. In your ugly treatment of your brother you reveal the rot that has broken the hearts of the American people so many times over the years. Beyond that, the economic destruction of American families is something your family would never truly understand. You are not touched by the worry about having enough gas to get to work, or whether or not you can afford eggs this week, if you'll be safe walking your own neighborhood, or if your child will be safe in their urban public school or even if they will know how to read and write while collecting their diploma. You keep doing civil rights work and public service virtue signaling. But in the meantime, make a pledge to not keep doing damage as Americans are simply looking for a way to reclaim their own futures, the safety of their families, and knowing that maybe, just maybe, they can leave their children a little better off with a future they can rely on. The condition of this country should shock everyone, even if their name is Kennedy. We know it at least shocks one of you who, like us, has had enough of the fear and hopelessness assigned to us for generations. Americans are happy to see Bobby on our side as we refuse to comply and will not go gentle into the catastrophes to which we are expected to succumb. Instead, with Trump and all who join us, we will fight, fight, fight!

Mic drop.
