And instead of admitting his mistake he doubles down on trying to make you look bad. Pretty childish! Probably best to ignore him, like other posters are suggesting.

Lots of states including Texas have what are sometimes called "Romeo and Juliet Laws" which allow relationships between minors and young adults depending on the age difference. I doubt anyone objects to a 17 year old dating an 18 year old, but at some point we get to an age difference where it is objectionable. What's that difference? I don't know. I'm glad I'm not a politician that has to decide it either.
And on the flip side of this we have Republican elected officials defending child marriages for some reason. Which is worse?

How anybody can still take this guy seriously is beyond me.

Well, that's pretty nasty but the age of consent is 17. Dude may be a loser but it isn't illegalTanya 93 said:
In the early 2000's, I taught a senior girl who got married at 17 to her 29 year old bf.
Since it was small town Texas, all grades rode the same bus and school started at all 3 schools at the same time.
She rode with her two step kids: boy I think was ten and a girl in kindergarten
He also grounded her from smoking when she was failing my class.
That is grooming and very few blinked at it happening.

Yikes. Well if they had sex when he was 27 and she was 15 (and not married) that's a problem, legally speakingTanya 93 said:Captain Pablo said:Well, that's pretty nasty but the age of consent is 17. Dude may be a loser but it isn't illegalTanya 93 said:

Married.
Not dated.
Not screwed.
They started their relationship right before she turned 16.

Just let them have their victory. You fought the fight to hide your true intentions comrade, but in the end they figured you out. To cheer you up I just ordered you a cheese pizza with all the toppings, he will be at the normal place at the hour when mars is in retrograde with Beelzebub's navel.
Btw, they were sold out of adrenochrome poppers.
Another Doug said:
Yeah hallmark sign of someone who just reads the headlines. Show me where he was the one "debunked" pizza gate. He wasn't because pizzagate didn't need debunking any more jfk is returning from the grave needed debunking. Dude was a crackpot with right wing ties, a few months back Tucker Carlson was white knighting for the dude saying Biden having Meek investigated in the first place was a huge story and proof Biden was a dictator.

Sound of Freedom up to $149 million total sales. That's 10x what it cost to make. Is that good?
Quote:
The faith-based political thriller Sound of Freedom is headed for cinemas overseas.
Angel Studios on Wednesday announced release dates for 21 markets, including the U.K., Australia, Spain, South Africa and a host of countries in Latin America. It begins its foreign run next month. At the U.S. box office, the movie crossed the $100 million mark July 19, a little over two weeks after its release July 4. And it finished Tuesday of this week with a cume north of $130 million.

Did you report him?
I'm curious what the actual total would be if theaters were giving it the seats demanded. I understand that my community is not representative of all communities, but it continues very strong at my local theaters. Star Cinema Grill has reduced it to 1 showing per day in its smallest theater for the previous week and it continues to sell out.tomtomdrumdrum said:StandUpforAmerica said:

I'm curious how much of that was actually butts in seats and not unused pay it forward tickets. Wonder if we'll see that marketing strategy more going forward!

Do you think the theaters are choosing to have less showings than would meet local demand for some reason?
I posted examples of this theater adding showings on a 2nd screen during the 2nd week of showings. The normal schedule for this theater accommodates 4 showings per auditorium per day. They have shown Sound of Freedom up to 7 times per day and all 7 showings were 95% booked. Then on Sunday starting week 3 it dropped from 7 to 3 showings. It remained booked for a week and it was dropped to 2 showings, which remained booked. It dropped to 1 showing per day, fully booked and then dropped to 0 showings per day.Macarthur said:
I think someone posted a few pages back that the theaters, distributors, productions companies, etc. all have agreements on this type of thing. I think he was saying that individual theaters don't just have the freedom to say, I'm going to show this on 4 screens instead of 1.
And frankly, the distributor of this film has made a concerted effort to market this differently than most films.

Here is Jessica “Laurent” Clark in a deleted video, enticing women & girls—no age limit anywhere—to learn how to “sugar” which is, as she explicitly points out, trading of money for sex.

Enticing women on a commercial scale to trade money for sex is called sex trafficking. https://t.co/tzqQWkkDA5
