[Breitbart] A Fox News television reporter has become the latest individual to accuse Hollywood movie executive and Democratic Party mega-donor Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct, alleging that he masturbated in front of her in a restaurant hallway in an incident she claimed happened more than a decade ago.
Talking to the Huffington Post, Lauren Sivan claimed that whilst working as an anchor on a local cable channel in New York, Weinstein approached her at a private event in the Socialista nightclub in New York, before attempting to kiss her.
After Sivan rejected his advances, stating that she had a long-term boyfriend, Weinstein allegedly began to masturbate in front of her until he ejaculated into a potted plant, before zipping his trousers up and returning to the party.
’Well, can you just stand there and shut up,’ Weinstein allegedly told Sivan before completing the lurid act.

Does this qualify her for her own show on NBC now?
No, because Harvey Weinstein is a liberal. And a progressive. And a social justice warrior. The way women are degraded in Hollywood is disgusting and mind-boggling. Not that any liberal would complain.

From another report: "Sivan says she rejected Weinstein’s advances, in part, because she was in a serious relationship at the time. "
So.. if she wasn't in a relationship at the time?
If someone really doesn't want to do something, any reason will suffice, doesn't matter which. She could have said she was a tranvestite with AIDS, for that matter.
[Facebook] Many people don’t understand what would be in a person’s heart to spray bullets into a crowd to kill and wound as many as he can. Or what’s in the heart of a person who drives his car across a bridge in London and into a crowd of people, get out with a knife, and stab innocent people and police officers. Or what’s in the heart of a person who would take a knife and cut off the head of another human being. Many don’t understand what’s in the heart of a person who’s a senior attorney for CBS and says she has "no sympathy" for those killed or wounded in Las Vegas simply because people who listen to country music might be Republicans.
The common thread that runs through the heart of each of these is evil.

Progressive don't like to be faced with black and white, good and evil, etc, they want to live in a grey area of non-absolutes, of situational ethics. It must have been something he ate, a medication, or a gambling debt.

Coward. Graham pulled his punch. The common thread is Salafi or Shia Jihad, or fear of same. Franklin knows that. Evil has a face, always and anywhere it surfaces. It concretizes, has a face and a name that can be clearly understood and treated. Graham is an incompetent theologian.

BottomRev, really? I can show you a face and via ignorance you couldn't tell me whether that person is good or evil. You a primary part of the problem with zero solutions.

The reason they can't find a motivation is he didn't have one, except saving his own skin.
He was money laundering and his problem gambling put him in debt to very bad people. Let's say drug smugglers with Middle East connections. They sold his services to ISIS or similar to recoup what they were owed by Paddock, and he was told do this or meet a very unpleasant end. Being something of a sociopath made it easier for him.
[Mauldin Economics] I’ve written a lot about US public pension funds lately. Many of them are underfunded and will never be able to pay workers the promised benefits‐at least without dumping a huge and unwelcome bill on taxpayers.
And since taxpayers are generally voters, it’s not at all clear they will pay that bill.
Readers outside the US might have felt safe reading those stories. There go those Americans again... However, if you live outside the US, your country may be more like ours than you think.

The underlying 'problem' with pensions is that the ruling class is afraid that they might be forced to do something tangible and productive, so we need to import some serfs.

There isn't a pension problem. The problem is governments spending money they don't have, and leaving the problem for someone else to clean up.
Which is why I am hoping for a massive wave of government bond defaults that will force lenders to properly price risk and make borrowing much less attractive.
Although that won't work with central governments that print their own currency.
[Buzzfeed] The same week Mark Zuckerberg delivered his live video remarks about Russian election interference on Facebook, he picked up the phone and called Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee.
At one point during the nearly 30 minute conversation, Schiff asked why Facebook took so long to find the $100,000 in ads a Kremlin-linked entity bought in an effort to disrupt the 2016 US Presidential election and its aftermath. Zuckerberg’s answer apparently did not fully satisfy, and Schiff told BuzzFeed News he plans to follow up.
The Russian ad scandal has captured lawmakers' attention in a way Facebook’s previous political crises ‐ from allegations of bias in its Trending column to its role in spreading fake news ‐ have not. It has crystallized a trio of individual fears ‐ Facebook is too big, has too much influence, and cannot effectively monitor itself ‐ into one big expression of all of them.
And now, with Congress scrutinizing it and the world watching, Facebook is scrambling to contain an metastasizing crisis that has tarnished its public image and conjured the threat of possible government regulation. In November, the House Intelligence Committee, of which Schiff is a key part, plans to hold an open hearing to discuss Russian election interference. And Schiff would very much like to see Facebook there. "We have an interest in having them come into our committee," he said.

And now, with Congress scrutinizing it and the world watching,
Schiff talked to Zuckerberg for 1/2 an hour and we're supposed to believe that 'Congress scrutinizing it'? Not buying it. Repubs would be stupid to give this any consideration.
[Townhall] This week, writer-director Nick Cassavetes released his new movie, "Yellow," about a woman having an affair with her brother. "I have no experience with incest," says Cassavetes. "We started thinking about that. We had heard a few stories where brothers and sisters were completely, absolutely in love with one another. You know what? This whole movie is about judgment, and lack of it, and doing what you want."
But Cassavetes wasn't done: "Who gives a s--- if people judge you? I'm not saying this is an absolute, but in a way, if you're not having kids, who gives a damn? Love who you want. Isn't that what we say? Gay marriage -- love who you want? If it's your brother or sister, it's super weird, but if you look at it, you're not hurting anybody except every single person who freaks out because you're in love with one another."

You know what I want? I want not to be preached at by amoral idiots! Especially by someone whose whole existence and job experience is based on fantasy. Movies used to be for enjoyment, not virtue sharing.
