        It’s funny because if he had actually turned into a cool person I bet this would retroactively have become a kind of fun campy picture. But really it’s just a reminder of what a disappointment he’s turned out to be.

          Honestly there’s nothing wrong with swashbuckling cosplay or dudes with long hair. It’s just that this dude in particular happens to be a malignant sociopath and megalomaniac.

          Maybe we shouldn’t stigmatize those other things by trying to draw a connection between them and his overwhelming shittiness. That seems like confusing correlation with causation.

        There really should be an annual contest to crown the lamest person on earth. Maybe we could start one on here.

        Honestly, that sounds like a shakedown to me. The case was thrown out, and the family has said she had a variety of mental health issues. She also made a tweet blaming Elon Musk for being homeless, which isn’t a good look for her.

          Someone else posted on another thread a republican judge threw out case because she medically couldn’t move and she wanted somewhere closer to her. They then claimed the below:

          she refused to appear for an independent medical examination despite warnings that failure to do so would result in the case’s dismissal.

          So in context sounds like they got him off on technicalities. I dont know much else so hopefully someone else fill more.
