Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I thought the porn thing was a nothing burger of a streaming service displaying questionable content on a TV in one of the offices. Or am I confusing my porn scandals?
I mean - that may have been a spin they used but. The TV just happened to be naked hoochies boinking seems unlikely.
I looked up the story. Obviously, we can cast doubt on an Oklahoma prosecutor's objectivity and the possibility that office is in on a cover-up, but lacking other evidence I would say this is really nothing.
The most you can really make of it is that the old superintendent didn't handle it well and apologize to the board for what they witnessed. That seems in line with him being a total asshole. But was he watching Jackie Chan porn in his office while on a video conference? Very unlikely.
Here’s the quote from Becky Carson, one board member who saw it:
Pubic hair? She can’t determine a flash of buns from that?
I’m just saying, they had to ask him to turn off his movie with full frontal nudity during the meeting. And he could have immediately said “it wad this movie, this scene” when it blew up. But this story about being a Jackie Chan movie was fabricated by like-minded cops who were ordered to investigate. Which took weeks. And two months later he’s gone. Absorbed into a right-wing boondoggle to harass teachers nationally.
Nah.
As if we needed another reason to be concerned about this board of education, it can't be a good sign that she finds it so shameful to say the word "nipple".
This is going to sound stupid, but i believe that many/some women (this one anyway) see porn slower than men. My husband will catch a nipple shot on tv that I never see until i make him rewind.
Well, that's millions of years of evolution for you
I've seen everything
Just read the Snopes article further down.
Full frontal nudity, but no sex. In the next room behind him. They told him, he switched it off.
But the thing I believe got him fired was how unapologetic he was about it, claiming he's the victim of some leftist plot, he's the best senator ever and nothing like that happened when it clearly did.
