...(But so is Trump)

• Lorne Michaels was filmed leaving SNL's after-party in New York at about 4am
• When he was asked why the show avoided the Weinstein controversy, he smiled and responded: 'It's a New York thing'
• An audience member has since revealed the cast did try out a Weinstein joke during a dress rehearsal but it was cut before it went to air
• The joke apparently got a big reaction from the audience
• SNL regularly pokes fun of President Donald Trump who hails from New York

"The real story for me is why did the NYTs even report on it? And why now?"

I can only think of the history of the NYT's (and all of its monolithic liberal media brothers) treatment of homosexual child abuse in the Catholic priesthood. I remember, back in the 70s and 80s, hearing of people trying to report it to the media and getting nowhere.

Then in the 90s the media script flipped and all the stories that were spiked before were now dug up an reported widely as if they were first being heard of.

The only sense of it that I could make out was that for the sake of protecting a marginal homosexual movement, the liberal homosexual tolerant Catholic Church was given a pass. But when the homosexual movement had grown strong enough - to not let the story spin against homosexuality, but only against the Catholic Church - then the pass was pulled.

This could be a feminist equivalent: For the sake of protecting liberal feminist sluts, who used the casting couch as a path to advance their career, elite liberal male "predators" were given a pass.

But when liberal feminist sluts were (as a group) strong enough - to not allow the story to spin against them - then the passes for the Weinsteins, Bill Crosbys etc... was pulled.

And so by extending what is acceptable the left gets more extremist on every front as it eats its own.

Hal Linden changed his name too.

Actors and entertainers are lying hypocrites, and cowards.

Apparently, they were originally going to report this in 2004.

Only 12 years late.

Now mind you, I am not saying they were going to report this in 2004. But it sounds like it, by that story.

That’s funny you should say that. It’s a rumor that Rob Portman looked at the house I live in now to buy as a vacation house (right next to the little Miami river).
The rumor is he was walking through the house and told the realtor “ This would be a great place for some cocaine and hookers”. The realtor said by the look on his face he couldn’t tell if he was kidding or not.
This story was relayed to me by several neighbours and a local real estate agent on separate occasions.

I can’t imagine the grief that would come from having that last name.

You know, sometimes when I hear stories like this, and the Dolphins assistant that used cocaine, I think there’s this entire celebrity sub-culture of drug-using, sex with who (or what) you want any time you want degenerates running around out of control. I think they’re firmly entrenched in Washington, as well as the entertainment and sports arenas. All swept under the rug in the ultimate “don’t ask, don’t tell”. They just act like it’s so “normal”, that I’m convinced it’s the ‘norm’.

There is a good portion of our society that is just as you describe. I happen to live in a county that was once described as the Meth capital of the USA. At the time I'd walk around Walmart and wonder who among them was baking the stuff. Probably more than I thought. And then there are the pallets of drugs coming in from South and Central America. Who is ingesting all that? And then there are stories of when Colorado passed their marijuana law and campers filled up all the state parks for an entire summer while they smoked grass. For a sizable portion of America, doing drugs is the norm.

However, the reason Harvey got away with it is pretty much why we (as a society) tolerate drugs, we tolerate drunk driving, and we tolerate the "make a DNA deposit in the plant" stories: we don't like to bust people who act otherwise "normal." People will say "Yeah, he drove drunk, but he's a normal guy so go easy on him." "Yeah, he just showed me his junk in a restaurant hallway, but this is how all the women before me got parts in Hollywood. It's normal." "I'll do a little blow. Everyone else is doing it. It's normal."

The sad truth is that a big part of our nation is broken, not just the elite dirt bags like this one.

He is a disgrace to the honor and dignity of the Jews and to the humanity inherent in Jewish tradition...Democrats who sucked up to this monster to get his support and his money, should be publicly shamed as often as possible.

People in Hollywood knew he was taking advantage of powerless women - preying on their dreams of 'making it in Hollywood'... AND THEY DIDN'T CARE BECAUSE MOST OF THEM TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE POWERLESS TOO. Tina Fey made jokes about his 'reputation' years ago. Lesbian Hollywood women probably do the same with powerless young women. It's liberal 'elites' preying on the powerless...a big joke to them. It's why they hate Trump supporters...it's why they want powerless illegals to serve them - it's why abortion is their religion.

It's all connected.

“The Democratic National Committee, which received more than $300,000 from Weinstein since 2000, decided to donate more than $30,000 to left-leaning political groups that support Democratic female candidates. “

Obama and Hillary got big bucks too (more at link) Wonder who will ‘give the money back’... Are Democrats keeping $270,000 of the loot? $30,000 to the ‘women’s wing of Antifa?

“The Democratic National Committee, which received more than $300,000 from Weinstein since 2000, decided to donate more than $30,000 to left-leaning political groups that support Democratic female candidates. “

So they're really not giving it back, they are just shuffling it around for the sake of appearances. Everyone they were originally going to send money to still gets the money, the sources just get switched.

N-i-c-e wrap......certainly does explain their condescension and arrogance towards anyone that doesn't buy their line of political crap.

This means you Hillary and Obama.....et al.
