I read the first couple of lines then hastily navigated away. I really don't need to see or read about that kind of shit.

Trump just won Iowa by a landslide... Liberal media refuses to show his victory speech, but did take the time to talk about how he hates immigrants.

They did mention he won, but also stated they weren't going to air *hate speech*... So the media are refusing to air speeches by a guy who represents half the country.

Yeah. Iowa has a population of 3 million. He picked up 110,298 votes...51% of the turnout (of registered Republican voters).

So far he doesn't represent anyone, what with not having any current active political position.

More miscarriages of justice, how do the police explain their behavior that led to:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67957726
Eighteen months later, the teenager lodges a fresh set of false sexual allegations against her second victim, who spends 10 weeks in prison before being released.
He and two of her other male victims went on to try to take their own lives.
The men weren't convicted but their lives were still wrecked by the police just on the words of one person.

Police can’t win can they, if they ignore accusations that are true they are vilified and if they believe false claims the same is true.

I don't use this word with full force, but it works for this type of woman - I HATE women like this. The devastation of lives is horrific and the possibility that actual victims are less likely to be believed is as bad.

The police have to be seen to investigate. The men's lives were wrecked by the lies, not by police actions. The actions/investigations have to happen after the allegations. But the responsibility for the lives of those men being wrecked lies firmly with the woman who, for whatever bizarre reason, decided to make up a story. Not once, but three or more times. WTAF.

I am always horrified about how awful humans can be

Her lies didn't decide to put someone in prison for ten weeks, the police did.

Surely that happened BECAUSE she lied? I mean, the police didn't just wander up to him and chuck him in prison because they felt like it. They had an accusation they had to follow up. If they didn't, they'd be vilified for not taking her seriously.

Yes, the police investigated and he was in prison for ten weeks - but the REASON was her lies.

Two wrongs don't make a right, the police were incompetent and abused their powers.
Credit to the copper who first called her a liar, that was brave.
