of course sports are poo poo, capitalism takes things people love and transforms them into horrific monstrosities which feed on humanity itself and poo poo out money for the people who made them that way

everything you like is also poo poo precisely because you like it, and if it isn't it will be; nothing is safe

quote:

Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty on some charges against him in a New York court.
Here's the breakdown of each count:

Count one: Predatory sexual assault — NOT GUILTY

Count two: Criminal sexual act against Miriam Haley — GUILTY

Count three: Predatory sexual assault — NOT GUILTY

Count four: Rape in the first degree against Jessica Mann — NOT GUILTY

Count five: Rape in the third degree — GUILTY

There are two guilty convictions here. Count two, criminal sexual act in the first degree, which carries a sentence of five to 25 years in prison, and count five, which is rape in the third degree, which can be probation or up to four years in prison.

If he actually does do something in the range of 3-5 years, he may not survive the experience. So there's that.

Hard to tell how much of that was theater though. He left the courtroom after the verdict without the walker, for instance.

After reading up on what Clint did to Sandra Locke, I can safely say "gently caress Clint Eastwood."

Good actor, but lovely person.

From October 1975 until April 1989, Locke cohabited with actor Clint Eastwood. They first met in 1972, but became involved while filming The Outlaw Josey Wales.[3][37] Late in the 1970s, Locke had two abortions.[a] "I'd feel sorry for any child that had me for a mother," she told syndicated columnist Dick Kleiner in 1969.[38] After the second abortion she underwent a tubal ligation, stating in her autobiography that her decision to have the procedures was due to Eastwood's adamancy that parenthood would not fit into their lifestyle.[4] Eastwood secretly fathered another woman's two children during the last three years of their relationship.[4]

In 1989, Locke filed a palimony suit against Eastwood after he changed the locks on their Bel-Air home, and moved her possessions into storage while she was filming Impulse.[3][39] Following a year-long legal battle, the parties reached a settlement wherein Eastwood set up a film development/directing pact for Locke at Warner Bros. in exchange for dropping the suit.[39][40] Locke sued Eastwood again for fraud in 1995, alleging the deal with Warner was a sham;[37] the studio had rejected all of the 30 or more projects she proposed and never used her as a director.[4] According to Locke's attorney Peggy Garrity, Eastwood committed "the ultimate betrayal" by arranging the "bogus" deal as a way to keep her out of work.[41][42] Locke settled the case with Eastwood out of court for an undisclosed amount of money.[43][44] The outcome of the case, Locke said, sent a "loud and clear" message to Hollywood, "that people cannot get away with whatever they want to just because they're powerful."[45]

You say that, but a remarkable amount of Trump's grudges seem to come from the New York elite treating him as a pathetic joke who would never truly be one of them. He'd get some light, backhanded flattery, but that was it and it wasn't enough.

There are factions within the elite, but the Clintons are friends with Trump. Beating Hillary might have strained that, but that might only really be a problem for her if it happens within her own party.

Both were friends with Epstien.

It just means an easier target to pressure and less publicicty and accountability for the pardon.

Everytime Max Landis has made the news someone made a helicopter parent joke, I've probably made at least four myself in various threads of CineD.
