It couldnt happen to a nicer guy. Man, you know youre having a bad day when the company with your name on it, the company you personally founded, comes to you and says youre fired! But thats exactly what happened to producer of mediocre films and all-around high Hollywood muckety-muck Harvey Weinstein on Sunday, as the Weinstein Companys board of directors, including his own brother, unanimously voted to can him. Thats a really bad day.
Its important to note that the Weinstein Companys board of directors did not fire Weinstein because they found out about their CEOs serial abuse of women. They fired him because the rest of us found out about it. Big difference.
Speaking of steins, California Senator Dianne Feinstein (who was happy to take money from Harvey Weinstein), right in the middle of her latest effort to ban gun ownership in America, openly admitted in an interview on Face The Nation on Sunday that there is no law, either on the books or that she could pass, that would have stopped the Las Vegas gunman: No, he passed background checks registering for handguns and other weapons on multiple occasions, she told host John Dickerson. Well, duh.
The reality with Sen. Feinstein is that she wants to do a bill for the sake of doing a bill, so that she can take credit for doing something, even if it is, as a practical matter, meaningless. Because making futile gestures in the name of doing something so they can take political credit is what Democrats do.

Boom......that right there tells you so much about Hollywood....
and the conscienceless Democrats that sucked-up to the Monster-Stein.
Wonder if Diane can explain the country of origin for her hubby’s food processing business in American Samoa?
Are those workers born and raised in American Samoa?
Would it be fair to investigate further and see if those labor practices could reasonably be characterized as exploitation or, possibly, economic-slave trade?
Sure seems like the wealth and power may be built on a lie.
Weinstein Company Board Member —— Marc Lasry —— resigned today in the wake of Thursdays devastating New York Times report that outlines a pattern of Weinstein’s behavior stretching back at least two decades. Lasry is a billionaire hedge fund manager, CEO of Avenue Capital Group and a co-owner of the NBAs Milwaukee Bucks.
Wikileaks lists 550 conflicts of interest of the Clinton Foundation. Prominent name is billionaire Marc Lasry
<><>Chelsea Clinton’s first job was w/ Lasry’s hedge fund.
<><> Lasry got Chelsea’s hubby’s hedge fund off the ground.
<><> Lasry’s son, Alexander, worked for Obama’s Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett.
<><> Lasry’s daughter, Samantha, was a staffer for Congressman Rahm Emanuel.
(NOTE: Emanuel later became a top Clinton aide AND a Goldman Sachs lobbyist at the same time. Emanuel became Obama’s COS AND ran the Dept of Treasury at the same time......now he’s Chicago mayor.)
NY TIMES 2015 report——”For the Clintons a hedge fund in the family.”
EXCERPT When Chelsea’s hubby, and his partners began raising money in 2011 for a new hedge fund firm, Eaglevale Partners, a number of investors in the firm were longtime supporters of the Clintons, according to interviews and financial documents reviewed by The New York Times. Tens of millions of dollars raised by Eaglevale can be attributed to investors with some relationship or link to the Clintons.
The investors include hedge fund managers like Marc Lasry and James Leitner; an overseas money management firm connected to the Rothschild family; and people from Goldman Sachs, including the chief executive, Lloyd C. Blankfein. Some of the investors in Eaglevale have contributed campaign money to the former president and Mrs. Clinton. Some have also contributed to the familys foundation.
Identifying who put money into Eaglevale, a roughly $400 million fund that has had underwhelming returns for much of its brief history, is difficult because hedge funds do not publicly disclose their investors.
Still, the overlap between at least some of Eaglevales investors and backers of the Clintons illustrates how politics and finance can intersect and shows the fine line the Clinton family must navigate as their charitable and business endeavors come under scrutiny in an election cycle.
SNIP
Mr. Lasry, a co-founder of the big hedge fund Avenue Capital and a longtime friend and financial backer of both the former president and Mrs. Clinton, said he invested $1 million in Eaglevale.
In an interview in his Park Avenue office, adorned with many photos of him with the former president, he said that he recommended that his relative by marriage, Craig Effron, another hedge fund manager, also invest in the fund.
I gave them money because I thought they would make me money, said Mr. Lasry, whose $13 billion firm was one of the first places Chelsea worked after graduating from Stanford.
A number of other investors reached by The Times declined to be interviewed.
Looks like Michele swallowed (smirk).
"So if you could make a ten million dollar donation, Harvey.
The Clinton Foundation is helping dozens of impoverished Haitians."
Perhaps, it is appropriate time for a deep biographical summary covering each of the board members of the Weinstein Company.
It’s going to be a challenge for the Democrat fund raisers to navigate through the maze of third-rail bad-boys.
Do Weinstein and Epstein have any connections?
The MSM is actively silent about the Weinstein-Clinton-Obama connection. More fake news by omission.
More leads on the dirty business of Weinstein.

Nice take.
The really substantial thing about the Harvey expose is that anyone associated w/ him looks bad....including his board members.....all of them Democrat donors.
Tout Hollywood---slavishly Democrat---KNEW about Harvey's proclivities ..... and did nothing.
Harvey left a disgusting trail of body fluids....and Hollywood comes out all wet (smirk).
I have doubts about any women that would allow this swine-looking pervert close enough to harass them in the first place.
And if your "career" is so important to you that you think you have to allow this creepy fat ass slob near you, then, darling, you didn't have much of a career in the first place.
And I gotta say...if this pig is what appeals to women...then we have all gone down the greasy drain.
Drive on Hollywood...stay classy.
So brave of them. They didn’t fire him because they found out about his abuse. They fired him because we found out.
I’m betting now that he is no longer a gatekeeper to the stars we will here of much more vile things he has done like rape and pedophilia.
Im kind of happy about the whole Harvey Weinstein affair, in the same way the liberals are happy about the Vegas shooting or any dead Soldier. Rats love it when they have a crisis to leverage, especially if it involves dead conservatives. Luckily, this one doesn’t involve any conservatives at all.
YES! Who knew what and when did they know??!!??
(Such a shame, right in the middle of the so-called War on Women).
Regarding Feinstein, there’s also the billions of unrelated spending that comes with such legislation. Much of which ends up in her pocket
DiFi and her hubby know plenty about using her senior Govt status and her influence to steer business and profits to enrich themselves.
Let's hope an empaneled Grand Jury w/ subpoena power is not investigating things like how her husband's investment group managed to obtain several Billion dollars taxpayer-funded govt contracts .....
BACKSTORY: Back in Sept 2014, Senate intel head Di/Fi was whining about the CIA looking through her computers and taking documents. Clearly, the CIA had plenty on her----even BEFORE the shocking Chi/Com missile scandal brke involving a Cali state Senator.
Di/Fi's known aversion to guns did not prevent her from honoring Sen Leland Lee's co-defendant, Raymond Chow---Chow is the key figure in Cali's Demorat state Sen Yee's shocking missile-sales deal w/ China (Yee is a notorious grabber of American guns).
INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS: Feinstein heads the Senate Intel Committee; Her hubby Richard Blum made million as the lawyer for Chinese interests and from tax- funded govt contracts;
<><> Did Di use her access to potentially valuable US security data improperly?
<><> How'd her hubby Richard Blum make millions in China deals?.
<><> Is hubby cutting new deals w/ the Chi/Coms?

LIFE CAN BE BEAUTIFUL IN THE FEDERAL SECTOR ---Di/Fi and husband profit for 15 years from federal funds
NY Post | 1/19/15 | Richard Johnson / FR Posted by Libloather
A report on the lucrative deal Sen. Dianne Feinsteins husband has to sell 56 post office buildings barely scratched the surface of Di's conflicts of interest. The California Democrats financier husband, Richard C. Blum, is estimated to be a billionaire from his shrewd investments in companies that profit from federal policies.
For at least 15 years, Feinstein has appeared to support government contracts that push federal funds toward companies co-owned or governed by her powerful, billionaire husband, Richard C. Blum, Breitbart News reported. (Excerpt) Read more at pagesix.com ...

THERE'S GOLD IN THEM THAR HILLS---Sponsored by Senator Diane Feinstein, the Desert Wilderness Protection Act and its companion bill known as the California Desert Protection Act created three new national parks and seventy- four new wilderness areas in the desert of California that total 8 million acres (an area the size of Maryland).
This closes acreage to development, forces out private owners within the protected area and closes mines and ranches. It also expands the Death Valley and Joshua Tree national monuments and upgrades them to national parks.
It seems that the real motivation for passage of this bill lies with the special interest groups that would benefit monetarily. Through a complex series of land exchanges, Catellus Corporation (Owned by none other than Richard Blum DiFI Hubby), a subsidiary of Santa Fe Pacific, will receive land that contains some of the richest gold deposits in the world.
Is it WeinSTEEN or WeinSTINE? Could be said that Diane FeinSTINE took money from Harvey WeinSTEEN.
I believe MOST of the actors who make it big sold their souls. They want to be famous so bad they’ll do anything.
It’s typically about power. How do you think “sweat hog” Travolta got the lead on Saturday Night Fever?
It appears the leftists, including feminazis, circled the wagons for Weinstein for years and years until the circle was breached. Now they are wringing their hands and bringing out the faux moral outrage. The hypocrisy is nauseating.
But, of course, leftists are leftists. With them, morality and doing the right thing is inconsequential; it’s all about power and money. (And not getting caught.)
Ummm...perverted sexual acts upon the male person that was responsible for casting that piece of crap?
Or something.
Hollyweird disgusts me.
