Feminist Politicians and Harvey Weinstein

[Perd Hapley]

Per Michael Knowles, "Kevin Spacey played his Gay Out of Jail Free card."

They really didn't think through the #metoo hashtag. When I was growing up the "#" was referred as the "Pound" sign....

You, and people of our generation, are not the target audience of hashtags.  To that audience, it is not a "pound" sign.

But it's still funny.

I was cracking up.

So apparently Netflix is woke and cancelled "House of Cards" because of Spacey. So woke that they put like 100 people out of a job to show their solidarity with something or other.


On the general topic, sadly, this is turning into quite a McCarthy-like witch hunt. It looks like a lot of innocent people are going to get hit for things as benign as touching a shoulder, giving a hug, or just saying the "wrong" thing. The real offenders will be lost in the mass.

Typical for the SJW crowd though. I saw that the person who started the whole thing has a warrant out for her arrest for a FEB drug violation and is blaming that on men or sex or something.

What the *expletive deleted*ck!  I love House of Cards.

We're getting mixed messages on this.  Now Netflix is claiming that they were planning to end the series after this season.  The timing is suspicious.

All of this.  While I'm sure the problem is widespread in Hollywood (and elsewhere in society), I suspect that some of the people "coming forward" are looking for their 15 minutes.  Or looking to get even with someone they don't like.

Did Rose McGowan really set this in motion? Props to her, then.

Let's just say I have always found her to be quite impressive.*  


Well, not always. Marylin Manson.

... and now House of Cards production has been suspended:

Obviously there are more important issues in the world, but I wonder if Netflix is overreacting.

[Perd Hapley]

They've been telling us for the past few decades that sex is just harmless fun. There's nothing special about our bodies. We're just machines.

Sanctity snuck back in sideways, somehow.

[Angel Eyes]

Now the head of NPR has been accused:

[Perd Hapley]

“I was overcome with passion,” he reportedly told her. “I couldn’t help myself.”

I guess he thinks that's a defense.

Great.  Now the meat has STDs.

[Perd Hapley]

Well, this is interesting.

So a lawyer that represented Al Gore in 2000, and argued before SCOTUS for fake rainbow marriages, also helped Weinstein keep on Weinsteining. Plus, the Israelis were secretly infiltrating Rose McGowan's life? 

[Angel Eyes]

Add "reverend" Jesse Jackson to the list:

[Perd Hapley]

I wonder how many of the SJW crowd might be regretting the "me too" thing at this point? Seems like more of them are getting fingered than are the people they might like to see called out.

Kevin Spacey took a hit this morning...

In what is being perceived as a possible attempt to deflect months of declining poll results and mounting criticism over his policies, inappropriate behavior, and investigations into possible corruption in his presidential campaign, President Trump came out as gay Thursday morning.

So apparently Social Justice Warrior LT Sulu has now been accused of slipping some guy a mickey.

https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2017/11/10/oh-myyy-george-takei-accused-of-wait-for-it-sexual-assault/

In the interest of fairness, no matter how much I despise Takei's politics and big mouth, as I mentioned a ways back in the topic, I'm really beginning to wonder how much of this stuff actually happened and how much is people now jumping on the attention bandwagon. I still believe before all this is over that many innocent people will end up having their lives ruined. It's quite becoming, "Tie chains around the witch and throw her in the water. If she drowns, she's not a witch."

[Perd Hapley]

What are we up to, like 5 new celebrity/politician accusations of sexual assault per day? Yeah, I'm done. Don't want to hear anymore. Work it out between you, 5-0, and your lawyers; just leave the rest of us out of this.

[DustinD]

In Minnesota, we are about to have two politicians likely resign over claims of sexual harassment. One is rather pro-gun, former game warden, Army, and police officer. The other is a gun grabber, financially corrupt, and a scumbag. He is also a police officer and EMT.

[Fly320s]

I'm feeling left out.  Do I get to accuse someone, too, or do I get to be sexually harassed?  And do I get to choose who sexually harasses me?

Your choices are limited to Rosie O'Donnell, Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.

On the one hand, I find Bernie the least revolting. On the other hand, if HRC assaulted me, I would be forced to strike her in self defense. (No, I would not enjoy that. Why would you suggest such an awful thing?)

As for Rosie, that's a hard pass.

Well, we know which way you swing anyway
