It is so ironic that house of cards a TV series about the US president gets shutdown because someone came forward about how the protagonist sexually harrased them when they were young. In real life more than one president has been linked to pedophilia and nothing happened 🙃.

    Carter level ethics look crazy because we’re living in Trump level corruption.

    It's the bad kind of method acting

    You're surprised that the more powerful someone is, the more they're able to get away with?

    I wish that was unique to the Untied States but I've been watching a Swedish show called Young Royals and it is a major plot point that rich and powerful people get away with everything. Even in Scandinavia, the part of the world that seems to mostly have its shit together

    I've been seeing irony in a lot of movies lately. Captain America 4 ends with a president being held accountable for his actions and going to prison

    Rule 2 is that the entire thought must be in the title.

    Would you be able to update the title?
