Harvey Weinstein Is Not A Joking Matter
DB Daily Update ^ | 10.16.2017 | David Blackmon

Posted on 10/16/2017 5:03:15 AM PDT by EyesOfTX

Speaking of Harvey Weinstein, it appears to me that the nation reached “Peak Weinstein” over this past weekend. The clearest indicator of that reality is the edict in pop culture that you cannot joke about Harvey Weinstein and his crimes. Un-funny late night TV host James Corden, with whom I am so unfamliar that I had to google his name to get the spelling right, found this out the hard way when he was lambasted in social media and later, the legacy media for telling a bunch of not funny Weinstein jokes during a gig hosting a charity event Saturday evening.

So, a note to all you comics and aspiring comics out there, longing to whip out your repertoire of Harvey Weinstein jokes: Stop. Just stop. Nothing about what Harvey Weinstein did is funny. Oh, there is tons of irony in this situation, as it applies to Hollywood’s larger depraved culture and to all the Democrat politicians – especially anyone named Clinton or Obama – who are desperate to find ways to keep Weinstein’s hush money, but none of this is funny. Women were raped here, abused in heinous ways, their careers and lives destroyed by an out-of-control monster who everyone in Hollywood knew about for years and did nothing to stop him.

What the Weinstein scandal is, is tragic. The most tragic aspect of it is that Weinstein is far from the only monster out there, and in fact most likely is just a representative of an overall culture of abuse that probably will be allowed to continue to exist as the fake news media, which is desperate to shift the public’s attention off of its Democrat benefactors who bathed in Weinstein’s money, moves on to other, faker news.

Even the coverage of the Mandalay Bay shooting is dwindling.

Either the media got the “Shooter was a White man.” story they wanted, or embarrassing stuff is starting to surface so it’s time to move on.

Yeah, I did a google search on the Vegas shootings last night, and it came up withe zero stories dated Oct. 15. That’s tragic, too.

When did Monica Lewinsky fall prey to sexual assault?

She has claimed for 20 years that she and her President were simply in love.

In fact her insistence on that point is what kept the pervert in chief in power, and foisted upon us the fat, sweating, staggering, pants-crapper Hillary as senator, secretary of state and finally as lying, degenerate, washed-up hag of a presidential candidate.

I would agree that “we” are not alone in the damage inflicted by the putrid gutbag Hillary, with the assistance of Ms. Lewinsky and her devotion to the Rapist in Chief.

Good question. One theory is that Weinstein is being sacrificed. Why? So people can transfer the outrage to Trump and call for his impeachment because he is a “sexual predator”. Certainly Hillary, of all people, seems to be beating the drum for that.

Figure out who one of his more recent victims might have been. Then see what cards she had to play in her hand.

It's called "Winning" and it's Lewinsky saying "remember me!" at this most opportune time while everyone is piling on Weinstein and trying to tie Trump to it.

THIS JUST IN: Chelsea Clinton made a run for it to avoid answering
questions about Harvey's Weinstein's donations to the Clinton Foundation.

=========================================

THE IRS AND SEC MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW IF THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY LISTED PAYMENTS TO CLINTON UNDER "BUSINESS EXPENSES."

CONTACT enforcement@sec.gov

He's a lecher, but he's generous. Harvey Weinstein donated a bundle to The Clinton Foundation........ and also to Clinton's sex defense fund after the Lewinsky episode.

===========================================

So I guess this means all the contributors to Billbooboo's sexual escapade slush fund were, in fact, paying off the 800,000 dollars Billy-boy had to pay Paula Jones for sexual harassment.

THE IRS MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW IF CLINTON'S SEX DEFENSE FUND HAD OTHER USES. FOR EXAMPLE: the do-good Clinton's multi-million payouts for (A) celeb-laden galas including Hollywarped types, (B) seminars for (ahem) "young leaders," (C) Bill's globe-trotting, setting up profit-making insider deals, (D) Bill's 28 trips to Pedo Island, etc etc etc.

Did Harvey Weinstein direct The Weinstein Company to list his contribution to Clinton's sex defense fund under "business expenses?"

CONTACT enforcement@sec.gov

Making jokes is what late night talk show hosts do.

Or what they used to do before they went into politics.

After slamming them for not making jokes, why slam them for making jokes?

Seth MacFarlane was contemptible for lightly joking about Weinstein and saying years later that it "came from a place of loathing and anger," and it would have been like that if Corden had been making little Harvey quips while Weinstein was riding high, but a little ridicule now that he's fallen isn't a bad thing.

I’m gonna put on my tinfoil hat for a second and suggest that there is going to be a resurgence of the 2916 Trump “bimbo eruption”. It’s really not a stretch to assume that this Weinstein outing will somehow be equated with DJT. Harvey was expendable, for “the cause”, you know. “See, Donald did it too” kinda stuff.

Rant over,,....

Many years ago, singer Courtney Love said she publicly warned about Harvey Weinstein.

To punish Love for speaking out about Harvey's sexual proclivities, she was banned forever from representation by the powerhouse talent agency CAA.......Creative Artists Agency.

In February 2017, former Vice President Joe Biden signed with Creative Artists Agency to represent Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, across all areas, including the initiative to end cancer they began during their final years in office, partnerships with the University of Delaware and the University of Pennsylvania, and the Biden Foundation.[

=====================================

Creative Artists Agency has a long list of A-list clients, including J. J. Abrams, Toni Braxton,George Clooney,Marion Cotillard,Tom Cruise, Michael Douglas,Tom Hanks,David Letterman, Brad Pitt, Martin Scorsese, Will Smith, director Steven Spielberg, Sharon Stone, (Trump hater) Meryl Streep,and numerous other stars and directors and filmmakers. Sports clients included Derek Jeter. Corporate clients included Coca-Cola and Mattel.
