What kind of role model is he for children? Sad

Innocent until proven guilty is a value we should instill in children. Reactionary bullshit should be discouraged in children and you should better know better

>In 1938, a 23-year-old Sinatra found himself in just such a situation, and he was officially arrested and booked for Seduction. The charge was eventually dropped when it was discovered that the supposedly single woman was in fact married. Later that year, armed with this new information, the original charge was revised slightly, and Sinatra was again arrested, this time for Adultery.

>A bond was set for Sinatra, which he promptly paid, and he was released. The Adultery charge was later dropped and in total, he spent only a few hours in jail as a result of the situation.

so innocent until proven guilty means nothing to you? Maybe try getting some American values, they're pretty great and the republic will be destroyed when a significant amount of the population abandons them

He was the general. He's the most highly decorated general in our history, because we just keep giving him more awards every time a living general gets too many stars. It'd be cool if you knew that or read literally anything he wrote. It'll help you act like an actual American and not a reactionary, because the founders' hated reactionaries. They valued logic and reason; they were men of the enlightenment. something this country is abandoning at breakneck speed

Here, pick something and read it. It will enlighten you

The entire revolution was a bunch of entitled colonizers which didn’t want to pay their fair share of taxes. Read a history book. They weren’t good people. Worse role models than Frank Sinatra.

I've read quite a few history books. And I'm happy to inform you that Jefferson would wholeheartedly agree with you, as he called himself a "barbarous ancestor" to those of us who would live centuries after him.

They weren't infallible, they weren't without massive flaws, just like all humans. They made huge mistakes but to look at only that, without looking at all they accomplished, all the good they did, is just as unreasonable as fetishizing them

How come when he posts his mug shot it's classy but if I post my mugshots to reddit it's trashy?

I'm cool as fuck. The world just don't know it yet.

As a comic book collector I can think is that he could be out there getting a whole bunch of copies of Action Comics #1 and storing them in a box in the ground at that very moment but instead he's doing whatever the fuck he's doing.

If only he knew.

My grandparents had a house in Bergen county. Well they had a small problem with a neighbor when they had company over. The neighbors' driveway was on the side street and people often parked in my grandparents' driveway. On one occasion this happened and my father sort of stormed over to talk to the neighbor and their guest to give them a piece of his mind and he stopped in his tracks when he saw that it was Frank, their neighbor was friends with Frank Sinatra and dad kinda was stopped in his tracks. I wish he was still around so I could hear more about the story, always wondered what they talked about lol

I think that was taken in Fort Lee and he was charged with compromising the morals of a married woman or something like that.

Well, Sinatra WAS considered the first teen idol, so this comment is very accurate! (There’s an old Looney Tune where a barnyard of chickens are screaming and fainting over a Sinatra rooster).
