I saw a piece on Vice a few weeks ago about the rampant sex trafficking in the Philippines and all I could think was that Dutuerte's murder squads are going after the wrong people....
The Vice story covered the Australian shitstain Peter Scully. I have good reason to believe that Justin was a customer of Scully's because like many of Scully's sick customers he was arrested in summer of 2016.
Justin spent over $30,000 on this shit. Words escape me.
Same. I think we watched different Vice pieces. The one I watched was about online sex trafficking and attempts by law enforcement in the US to crack down on it and then following Philipine police as they busted some asshole selling off 10 year olds. I was trying to find it online and while I couldn't find it, I did find this:
It's a different piece I'm referring to. It was on HBO just within the last couple weeks.

The essential problem of anti-woman sexual abuse in Hollywood remains and the celebrity examples of Hollywood prog women are still deaf to the maxim "Physician, heal thyself.
What makes you think it's anti-woman? Seems to me the problem is one of power and privilege. And all those powerful producers, directors and moguls take advantage of it against whoever wants their favor - male or female. There are, for example, a lot of gay people in Hollywood. Do you think they refrain from using their power over young desperately eager young actors?
Well when it's abusive to women it's anti-woman, but you're right of course, it isn't just women, and they say the core motivation of such behavior can be more about exhibition of power than targeting.
However my point was to sidebar notice the hypocrisy of the pussy hat celebrity types virtue signaling as superior champions of femininity, looking down their noses at women not sharing their political platform, all while knowingly and purposefully ignoring abuse of women within their own personal sphere.
Did you notice Harvey Weinstein's first lawyer was Lisa Bloom? That's Gloria Allred's daughter. Ever notice how her and her mom like to parade groups of women in front of cameras to attack Republicans like Herman Cain with allegations of abuse when an opportunity turns up to drop the famous of the Right down a peg? In fact it was Bloom who took the failed shot at charging Trump with some sort of unsubstantiated charge.
But when it was still believed Weinstein retained political power with the Democrats Lisa quickly forgot her pose as protector of the estrogen set and easily switched from defending the allegedly abused to defending the abuser.
I think I heard she's backed off and run for cover since Weinstein's destruction has become inescapable though. I think now it's more like "Who me? I never liked him..."

What could be a concern for Harvey Weinstein's victims is Ronan Farrow had to go to the New Yorker to tell their story because NBC tried to silence him.
NBC makes a shit-ton of money from programs that Weinstein backs.
That$$ what it$$$ all about.

#NBC didn't just pass on the Weinstein piece they actively tried to suppress it. They are implicated in the cover up #Tucker @FoxNews

FLASHBACK: Watch Barbara Walters SHAME Corey Feldman for speaking about Hollywood abuse

F**king Bitch!
This was never considered appropriate behaviour but it was tolerated. Given the number of spin-merchants and hacks on his payroll, a veritable mini-Stasi, devoted to deflecting allegations, Weinstein was clearly a chronic and cynical offender (I won't say hardened).

He used up his second chance many decades ago.
$1:
Even in a city and industry that prides itself on strict adherence to anti-gun orthodoxy, Hollywood Producer and Democratic mega-donor Harvey Weinstein distinguished himself as an enemy of law-abiding gun owners. In a January 2014 interview on The Howard Stern Show, the mogul launched into a lengthy anti-NRA tirade.
The rant started when Stern, a carry permit holder, asked Weinstein whether he owned a gun. Weinstein responded, “I don’t think we need guns in this country, and I hate it. And I think the NRA is a disaster area.” The producer went on to share his plans to make an anti-NRA feature film, titled, The Senator’s Wife. Weinstein noted, “I'm going to make a movie with Meryl Streep, and we're going to take this head-on. And they're going to wish they weren't alive after I'm done with them.” The mogul also contended that the movie would damage the gun industry, stating, “Gun stocks, I don't want to be involved in that stuff. It's going to be like crash and burn.”
It’s nearly four years later and The Senator’s Wife is reportedly still in the development stage. However, Weinstein’s grudge against NRA is back in the national spotlight, thanks to the producer’s bizarre attempt to deflect attention from a spiraling sexual misconduct scandal.
On October 5, the New York Times published an article titled, “Harvey Weinstein Paid Off Sexual Harassment Accusers for Decades.” The piece detailed allegations that the mogul used his position of influence to make unwanted sexual advances towards young women in the movie industry, including movie star Ashley Judd.
That same day, Weinstein issued a statement that addressed the Times’s story and attempted to excuse some of his behavior. Oddly, following a series of tepid apologies and justifications, the statement turned to NRA.
The beginning of the final paragraph of Weinstein’s statement read:
I am going to need a place to channel that anger, so I’ve decided that I’m going to give the NRA my full attention. I hope Wayne LaPierre will enjoy his retirement party. I’m going to do it at the same place I had my Bar Mitzvah.
Weinstein’s clumsy attack on gun owners was immediately seen for what it was, an attempt to distract the public and curry favor with anti-gun Hollywood. The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel remarked on Twitter, “Gotta love how Harvey Weinstein's statement includes swipes at NRA/Trump. Clear message: Hey guys, i'm a good liberal. Give me a pass.” Even MSNBC’s Chris Hayes tweeted, “Weinstein's attempt to rally liberals to his side by attacking the NRA is gross and absurd and I hope people don't fall for it.”
The ploy didn’t work. In the days since the Times ran their initial article, a host of other women, including stars Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow, have come forward and accused Weinstein of sexual harassment. Some of the more recent allegations have taken on an even more serious character, with the New Yorker reporting that Weinstein allegedly raped at least three women. The New Yorker report also included an account of an N.Y.P.D. sting operation where Weinstein was allegedly caught on tape mistreating a woman.
The allegations have put several prominent Democratic politicians in a difficult position. CBS has reported that Weinstein-hosted political fundraisers have brought in more than $5 million for Democrats.
An ardent Hillary Clinton supporter, Weinstein hosted a June 2016 fundraiser at his Manhattan home that reportedly raised $1.8 million for the failed candidate. Further, according to the New York Times, in October 2016, Weinstein “co-produced a Broadway fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign that was headlined by former President Bill Clinton, her husband, and Chelsea Clinton, her daughter, and featured dozens of performing artists.” Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) are among the prominent politicians who have disgorged themselves of Weinstein’s money in the wake of his sex scandal.
It should not come as a surprise that an individual who has allegedly used his influence and physical stature to overpower and abuse woman would detest the right to keep and bear arms. Published research on sexual assault from Florida State Professor of Criminology Gary Kleck concluded that rape victims “who resist are much less likely to have the rape completed against them than nonresisting victims,” and that, “[t]he form of resistance that appears most effective in preventing rape completion is resistance with a gun, knife, or other weapon.”
As for Weinstein’s recent threats against NRA, gun owners shouldn’t lose any sleep over the alleged sexual predator’s bluster. Even if Weinstein weren’t preoccupied with mounting legal woes, the producer isn’t much for follow-through. In response to criticism of his 2014 comments on The Howard Stern Show, Weinstein said he would curtail his support for violent movies. Weinstein said, “I have to choose movies that aren’t violent or as violent as they used to be,” and, “I know for me personally … I can’t continue to do that. The change starts here. It has already. For me, I can’t do it. I can’t make one movie and say this is what I want for my kids and then just go out and be a hypocrite.” A year later, Weinstein put out the blood-soaked Quentin Tarantino film The Hateful Eight.
On October 8, the Weinstein Company board, which includes Weinstein’s brother Bob, fired the embattled producer. Given the criminal implications of some of the allegations against the mogul, and reports of an FBI investigation, it is has yet to be determined if Weinstein’s retirement party will be held at a state or federal penitentiary.

"Hitler was against smoking therefore being against smoking makes you as bad as Hitler". Yep, looks like we've reached that stage.

Who woulda thunk it.
And Donald Trump is a republican president who is on a recording expressly saying he feels he can sexually assault women.
You can't support Donald Trump and condemn Weinstein, they are literally two peas in a pod. And political affiliation has fucking NOTHING to do with whether someone is a fucking scumbag.
Infact, if anything, since 1980 republicans have been responsible for 30 of 41 sex scandals. Including:
Sexually abusing young boys
Having an affair with a 13 year old girl.
Physically abusing the woman they were having an affair with
One person getting 29 women coming forward with claims of sexual harassment, abuse, and assaults.
Don't get me wrong, the democrats have equally fucked up stuff. But don't act high and mighty as if Democrats have no moral fibre when republicans are just as repugnant.

Jumping to conclusions?
Where's my support of Trump. I have utter disdain for those scumbag Clinton's and those who support them.
The problem is you guys seem to think that just because someone thinks Trump is a rancid piece of dog shit, they are automatically fans of the Clintons and all Democrats.

Then there are those who automatically think if someone despises the Clinton's and their devotees, they must support Trump.

I go with the Hitchens take. Although unfortunately deceased I'm 100% positive that if he was still with us today Christopher Hitchens would have absolutely hated Trump, just because he had a lifelong contempt for the odiously stupid and greedy and it was his calling to expose them. At the same time, back in the 1990's, he was also one of the few journalists on the left who held the Clintons to account, and wrote at least one definitive book on their history of scams ranging from the Arkansas governor's office to Whitewater. His famous words on Crossfire in relation to them were "I don't hate the Clintons, I absolutely loath them".
So, when it comes to both the Trumps and the Clintons and calling them out for being the grifter scum them all are,

Sometimes there is no good guy in a fight. Sometimes it's simply a scrap between two assholes.
