Hollywood/Political Sex Offense Scandals (Now Louis CK and AL-GOPSenateNom Roy Moore)

[jpx7]

They were talking, together, about pussy. Calling each other pussies. No journalism here. Just all kinds of Bush.

Also, I think it can be good journalism to seem to be talking about one thing, but actually conduce the subject into talking about / admitting something else. But I'm an advocate of adversarial journalism, with respect to power, so I understand not everyone may agree.

Conversations between hawk/jpx/Julio/nsacpi are so damn awesome. Keep it coming.

[jpx7]

Not to distract from the much-more-interesting conversation we're having in this thread, but this is not a good look for the ardent Clintonites:

[nsacpi]

How about we make some of the subtext full text here, so we can stop circling around the same things and see instead if there's anything on the other side?

(i) You're in awe of Trump's twisted, weaponized semiotics, whereby he's leveraged the theoretical fact of the arbitrariness of the sign in order to accrue physical and political power. (To some extent, I too am perversely in awe of this.)

(ii) You see Trump as a sort of useful monstrosity for your ideological ends, and you want to see that play out; as such, you are invested in protecting and prolonging his ascendancy against any assaults that might meaningfully destabilize, delegitimize, or depose his administration. (To some extent, I understand this; but, while someone like Sanders is useful to my ideological ends, I do not think I would be defending him with such vehemence if the pussy-grabbing shoe were on his foot.)

(iii) You have engaged in sufficient lewd "locker-room banter" in your life that you are wary of admitting or assigning it much evidentiary weight when gauging the likelihood or veracity of claims of legitimate misconduct or assault, claims that may sound on the same wavelength as said speech, but which also may—if you squint hard enough—simply be coincidentally similar. (To some extent, I sympathize—I have said plenty of crass things that I would not want deployed against me in the case of some spurious accusation. But for me, off-handed bragging about assault and subsequent impunity is both beyond the typical for "locker-room banter"—not to mention meriting more weight given the volume of complaints—and also not something that I would either say or allow to go unremonstrated in casual conversation.)

iv) he enjoy messing w us

One of the oddest things sad on a news broadcast ever.

well there was Dan Rather just walking off the set because a tennis match ran long...and although it was not broadcast "What's the frequency Kenneth" is a classic

although not said by a professional broadcaster I think "alternative facts" will have a long shelf life...it will feature prominently in histories of the Trump administration...would be a great title

And to make things quicker, let's go ahead a say that virtually all the male music stars - rock, hip-hop, rap, country, whatever - are guilty, and some of the women as well. Gene Simmons, Don Henly, David Bowie...

[The Chosen One]

I’ve always liked Matthews.

I remember watching the Thrill thing live That night. Was hilarious then the next morning when Morning Joe and Co. we’re ball busting him.

Linda sarsour allegedly hid sexual harassment and threatened those that worked for her to not report.

What a shock someone who believes on a barbarian lifestyle would do this. She is such a champion for women's rights.

[thethe]

About the dems being moral? Let's rethink that...

[sturg33]

They are so dumb. Opportunity to gain some moral authority with voters and they can't do it.

Surely 57 will post another meme about it

But we were told that the Democrats really care about women. That is wasn't a political move to try and get Trump out of office (As I predicted a week earlier). I just don't get how anyone can support these shallow hacks.

[thethe]

So the dems call for frankens resignation when Roy Moore is still poetically a senate candidate. Moore looses and like magic Franken is no longer asked to resign. Funny how that works. Those moral dems...
