She's probably not wrong on that point because Hollywood is almost entirely liberal so I'm sure plenty of the dirtbags going around assaulting and exploiting people vote democrat every four years (the pictures of Weinstein with Clinton and Obama are really on the nose). Rich people are bad. ImpAtom posted:You... are aware that there are literal bucketloads of pictures of GOP politicians with him as well, right? You're not wrong but Harvey Weinstein is a hardcore democrat. Liberals are trash. CPL593H fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Sep 13, 2021 |

Also, Tara Reade. Democrats have no credibility on this topic, or should not. Republicans are obviously hypocrites, but that's barely worth even trying to point out.

As far as I can tell, she repudiated all of her TERFish views. Doesn't make them not-lovely and between that and supporting Larry Elder I can certainly understand skepticism towards her, but I don't think she's currently a TERF, certainly not to the extent where she's actively using her energy and money to push that cause. Mind you, I forgot about the existence of Rose McGowan until now.

Pretty sure McGowan is only allying with Elder here because every single ostensibly liberal news outlet and authority is busy trying to save Newsom’s rear end from getting recalled, and already made the calculation that they didn’t want to give airtime to a story that could sink gavin for good because they care more about team sports than morality

Outside of like one month of "maybe Larry can do this after all," this recall has been a joke with no realistic chance of success. If the LIBERAL NEWS MEDIA is busy going to work for Gavin, they did as much or more work to make him look more vulnerable than he actually is to a right-wing crackpot candidate. It's been unclear from the beginning what amazing Republican candidate was waiting in the wings to replace Newsom, and it ended up being a choice between reality TV stars and a radio host, which is what passes for leadership in a state GOP that is very diminished from its heyday as California gentrifies further and further. In any case, hitching your cause to the falling star of a conservative radio host will do nothing to deliver you or anyone else justice. It's become that much easier for all these liberal power brokers to ignore her, in California and everywhere else. There are no evil Democrats quaking in fear that their moment has come. It's not even really a political issue in the first place. The Epstein-tier people are united by their plutocracy, not their politics. Box of Bunnies posted:one wonders where she got that idea from

On the other hand, if she doesn't understand how criticising one side over allegations of sexual misconduct to varying degrees, credible or otherwise, and then hitching her wagon to a guy who has similar allegations against him - not to mention the fact that he's likely a domestic abuser - undermines whatever she has to say, then I don't know what anyone can tell her.

This was posted in the Norm MacDonald tribute thread in GBS, and the thread starter promptly shut the thread. https://twitter.com/Mollyissilly/status/1437854467181977606 (click into the post to see more from the author) A related tweet I found: https://twitter.com/KerriLendo/status/1437865176481607680 I enjoyed Norm's material, but I also think that his reputation as a kind of hyper-edgy comic -- he "wanted laughter not applause" -- kind of helped fans brush over the stuff he said.

It's great how when women make accusations while the person is alive and active, they're accused of trying to profit from him, ruin his career, cancel culture run amok, etc., but when they wait til the person is dead they're told "hey that's not fair, now he can't defend himself!!"
