A Trump Theory About Lauer and Other Fired Leftists

Okay, so I read on FreeRepublic this AM that Matt Lauer has been terminated for sexual harassment. And out of all these firings and charges they are almost all leftists. Nearly everyone single one of them. Weinstein. Spacey. Etc. etc.

There is a federal regulation that covers sexual harassment in the workplace. It applies to any company that has more than 15 employees.

It is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The Section initiates Title VII litigation in two ways. Pursuant to Section 707 of Title VII, the Attorney General has authority to bring suit against a state or local government employer where there is reason to believe that a “pattern or practice” of discrimination exists. Generally, these are factually and legally complex cases that seek injunctive relief to alter unlawful employment policies and practices – such as recruitment, hiring, assignment and promotion – which have the purpose or the effect of denying employment or promotional opportunities to a class of individuals. Under its “pattern or practice” authority, the Section also obtains relief, generally in the form of offers of employment, retroactive seniority and back pay, for individuals who have been the victims of unlawful employment policies and practices.

The Attorney General can basically file suit against any company that they believe is violating this act. Now who is the Attorney General? And why was this never used against leftist organizations before? Did Trump instruct Sessions to take all claims of sexual harassment seriously? In the Lauer case has the accuser already gone to the DOJ and gotten assurances that it's actionable?

I imagine that as a business owner Trump has had to take this seriously. Dot every I and cross every T or else. And as President maybe he's seen charge after charge after charge about leftists organizations with the DOJ never doing anything about it.

Maybe this is another way Trump is draining the swamp. Any thoughts?

I think this is part of a long-range plan to find someone to make a similar allegation against the President ... then ...

I think you might be giving to much credit to the information gathering efforts by Breitbart, Bannon, et al.

It's really a much easier sting operation than what many people are considering as recent revelations and disclosures. In essence, it gets back to the basic divide in the country, and the types of people, personalities and businesses that operate in these various spheres.

The left has always controlled entertainment, media and the vices (prostitution, drugs, alcohol, pornography, etc). Actually, if one were to draw an arc illustrating each of the different audiences & markets, mass media and entertainment are simply the 'family appropriate' segment.

As we all know, one key aspect of entertainment is sex. Entertainers may or may not have talent, but in the majority of cases, they must be visually attractive. (Of course, there are exceptions, but then the exceptions prove the general rule.)

OK, sort of a long winded preface, but the bottom line is that entertainment and media has **always been** a sordid business. It is simply through its control of the media channels themselves that allowed them to deflect, deny and shape public opinion.

Now, enter Trump; the media is his/our mortal enemy. He, like anyone else with a clue, knows that the media business is exactly what is currently being revealed. It was never an issue about knowing the facts, but rather, publicizing the information. But perhaps even more importantly, even if one were to go public, the general audience would simply yawn. That means they have to be pre-primed to treat certain revelations as a movement ie the #metoo effect.

So, Trump & his allies didn't need to collect information - it already existed, in spades. Two, he didn't have to publicize it; everyone would have ignored him. Rather, Trump's great insight, the one that warrants labeling him as 3D, is his understanding of prepping the audience to go into hysterics as if they were under the influence of mass hysteria.

That's what's going on, and why the public is now ready to hear every detail and sordid story coming out. And don't expect it to end any time soon. There are probably hundreds of separate cases - I mean, we're talking about an industry whose very product is the result of this kind of behavior.

They were always vulnerable; it was simply a matter of time dependent on the right person running the reveal.
