Sinema admits a romance with her security guard as she fights ex-wife’s lawsuit - Lemmy.World

I’m the only one who doesn’t give a fuck about politicians escapades? as long as everyone who fucks is a consenting adult IDGAF. that’s like bullshit telenovela drama. as long as they do their job, their bullshit shouldn’t be my bullshit.

chances are I have actual grievances with them about their building policies. how they cum isn’t one of my grievances (as long as it involves only consenting adults)

While I understand and appreciate the sentiment, I actually think it’s important for a variety of reasons, the main ones being:

  • other people care (even if just their spouse) and the information can be used as blackmail making them less accountable to actual voters
  • they often use their position to spend taxpayer money on the affairs
  • Although I don’t care in the general sense, I do think it often decreases their ability to be good politicians.

    you’re not wrong, they are already bought and owned by corporations, an affair won’t corrupt them, they are all corrupted by default. worrying about blackmail is like a non issue compared to lobbying.

    is a consenting adult

    Well, it was one of her employees, so there is definitely a questionable power dynamic here for sure.

    way too many cases of sexual harassment and even rape are treated as “affairs” they aren’t. Wasn’t there a recent case of an “affair” that was actually a rape that ended in suicide, but the press treated it as just an affair.

    if it is just a genuine affairs, I don’t give a fuck. otherwise, straight to jail.
