@EgoGayX I really like these two..

Smoking crack doesn't make you a bad person.

Hiring prostitutes doesn't make you a bad person.

Drunk texting women doesn't make you a bad person.

Raping defenseless children with Jeffrey Epstein makes you a bad person.

Hope this clears things up.

Integrity, at its finest. Sad to see institutions that have made up the tapestry of pop culture, and journalism, falter to those drinking the poisoned Kool-Aid.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

@FOX5Vegas @truecrimegisela Wait...wha? During the event? I have questions...hmm

[Ruben Garcia @goRubenRuben]

Seven months into a deployment to Kabul, Afghanistan, in the fall of 2014, Pete Buttigieg sat with his thoughts in a way that years of relentless work as the youngest mayor of a major American city had not allowed him to. He had joined the Navy Reserve in 2009, when Don't Ask Don't Tell was still law, and had spent his entire adult public life, through Harvard, Oxford, McKinsey, the mayor's office, and a military commission, keeping the most fundamental fact about himself out of every room he walked into. He later told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow that the demands of running a city had almost made it bearable: the work was so consuming that he had not much minded, for what he called an inordinately long time, having almost no personal life. Afghanistan ended that. "I realize that you only get to be one person," he told Maddow. "You don't know how long you have on this earth." He came home to South Bend in September 2014. He came out to friends. Then to his parents. Then, on June 16, 2015, he published an essay in the South Bend Tribune, in the middle of his reelection campaign, becoming the first elected official in Indiana history to come out publicly while in office. He expected it to cost him the election. Instead, he won with 80 percent of the vote. Two months after the op-ed, he opened Hinge on his phone and matched with a 26-year-old drama teacher from Traverse City named Chasten Glezman, who had himself left home with a trash bag of clothes as a teenager after his family rejected him, slept in his car in a community college parking lot, worked at Starbucks until he was held at knifepoint, and eventually rebuilt himself into the kind of person who would spend an afternoon at a pub in South Bend trying a scotch egg on a first date with a mayor. They moved in together in 2016. In December 2017, at Gate B5 at Chicago's O'Hare, the exact spot Chasten had mentioned sitting when he first noticed Pete's profile, Pete got down on one knee. They married on June 16, 2018, the precise date of the op-ed that had made all of it possible.

It's a month to celebrate "have sexy time with whoever tf you want, because it shouldn't matter, but unfortunately people are judgemental, prejudicial mindless F+%ks, who feel it's their business on who you love."
Like loving someone the same sex as you was once against the law?!! Damn. Just let people be who they want to be.

[Silvernails @ViperSilverR]

@_Papa_Joe_ Yeah, you're not understanding a damn thing...

[Silvernails @ViperSilverR]

Who's the ignorant toad that keeps perpetuating this ? Smh. 🤬🤬

[jake ²⁷ @27LEV1]

In celebration of Pride Month, Zach Benson has donated $200,000 to a foundation that helps the LGBTQ+ community.

"I hope they find a cure soon," Zach states.

[Governor Tony Evers @GovEvers]

We celebrate Pride Month because we know what it took to get here, and we also know what is at stake today.

This month, and every month, we reaffirm our commitment to being a state where every LGBTQ person can live in their truth without fear and be welcomed just as they are.

[Silvernails @ViperSilverR]

@MikeyPopMuse Clearly his favorite is leg day

[Silvernails @ViperSilverR]

@TheAthletic Smh ...

[Silvernails @ViperSilverR]

@tiburonnsin This a joke? It's appalling regardless

[chris evans @notcapnamerica]

As a proud straight ally, I just want to say: Happy Pride everyone! Keep shining, keep dancing, keep being you 🌈

[Silvernails @ViperSilverR]

Thank you. People commenting on "Omg, this was him 3 days ago and he was fine! Look at him!" Yeah, doesn't really mean a thing. People put masks on everyday. It's also common for men to do this, in a split second sort of decision. Either there were issues of CTE, or he never adjusted, emotionally, to retirement. And maybe this event just solidified his grief for what his life & how he defined his self worth, once was.

[Silvernails @ViperSilverR]

Pretty standard actually. There aren't often morbid signs displayed, when someone is does this . Seems like he really thrived and found his identity, his self esteem in hockey, the culture of being on a team and excelling in a physical capacity. Sad that his demons won, the battle within exhausted him.

[Silvernails @ViperSilverR]

@CourtTV This is where I have to wonder when did an accident stop being just that? An accident? Just processing

[Silvernails @ViperSilverR]

@13mnwild Good for them if it's true. Makes zero difference.
