It has been scarcely a week since the tsunami hit. On October 6 The New York Times decided it could not afford to be behind the curve as the biggest scandal ever to hit Tinsel town unfolded with all its unseemly tawdriness. The sea change came after decades of coverup and turning a blind eye as one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood roamed like some hulking, unshaven, brute beast, pathologically preying at will upon young starlets....
(Mentions FR) Ironically, some of Weinstein’s few remaining supporters were to be found online on conservative discussion boards, where they blamed the victim—such as the poster on a Free Republic discussion thread, who, in an attempt to deflect blame away from Weinstein, retorted: “And what about the whores who serviced him?” Others referred to her as “slut” (fortunately, this was very much a minority opinion on that stellar conservative site)...

Lets hope so. There is sooooo much filth that needs exposure. I am glad that what is happening in hollyweird is gurgling to the top. There are degrees of filth. The lower echelon of filth is exposing the higher echelon of filth. It’s a beautiful thing to watch. I can only hope they ALL go down by their own behavior.
This trash has been moved to Chat on it’s own merits.
As a husband and father of daughters, yes, I without excuse naturally defend women against any predators. And no, I have never wished to be in a position to take advantage of women. Can you say the same?
I’m not all that familiar with it. As I said upthread, I finally googled it. Here’s part of the wiki entry...
Pizzagate is a debunked[2][3][4] conspiracy theory that emerged and went viral during the 2016 United States presidential election cycle.
...
Proponents of the Pizzagate theory falsely claimed that the e-mails contained coded messages referring to human trafficking and connecting a number of restaurants in the United States and members of the Democratic Party with an alleged child-sex ring.[5][6] The theory has been extensively discredited by a wide array of organizations, including the District of Columbia Police Department.[3][4][7]
These are exactly the kind of comments on "pro-marriage and family" FR that bothered me. Of course many of the women exercised poor judgment, and their motivations were less than pure, but that does not excuse the decades-long serial predator Weinstein.
Well, back when I drove the Brownsville-Harlingen-McAllen
run right on the border and Reynosa, Mexico was only a couple
miles south.. no, never. Not me. I just bought grapefruits and brought them home.
Well good for you!
Seriously.
Let’s not leave out the Obama Administration and Zero’s agencies and departments while he was in office and any ties they might have to corruption, depravity, lies, and treason. So many descriptive words we could use!
If you really want to bring down the opposition, throw this right in their faces and DON’T STOP!
Keep harping on it! Evidence is all over the place. Remember Jennifer flowers?
I don’t give a damn because I’m not one. So, to all y’all who ARE, Repukes or Dimocrats (Swamp dwellers), GFY!
We’re comin’ after you! And we ain’t gonna wait for the Lord to do justice!
You’re sense of right and wrong are really twisted. Pity on you.
Look harder. How much are you being paid, troll?
So, someone willing to trade sex for a movie role is a victim?
So you used google and wiki and the police dept. that called the Seth Rich murder a “robbery gone wrong”. Hey, thanks for taking the minutes out of your day to really research this. The children appreciate it.
Now, go look up Nancy Schaeffer.
Why are you bugging Robinson? I posted the wiki excerpt.
“Hollywood hasn’t been rocked this hard since the Fatty Arbuckle scandal”
An apt comparison if later Harvey is found to be innocent.
Many cases described go way beyond voluntary “trade” of “favors” — women to whom he exposed himself and masturbated before, woman assaulted, women raped. This goes way beyond the voluntary “trade”....
Which is why I specified “willing.”
Not an apt comparison because the Arbuckle case depended upon highly unreliable testimony from one dubious 3rd-party “witness” (the victim in question was dead). In Weinstein’s case, there are now DOZENS of first-hand testimonies, and a digital recording of Harvey admitting one assault. So far Weinstein admits to causing “much pain” though he still pretends all physical contact was consensual. Still, this is far beyond the Arbuckle case, just in the evidence that is already available to the public. There seems to be no possibility that Harvey is “innocent” of sexual harassment in many cases, or of sexual assault (groping) in the case with an audio recording confirming it in his own voice and words.
Yes,The fact that you don’t recognize this is shameful in itself. Please never respond to me ever again, troll.
