Oh look, we agree on something! They have taken a "not one inch" stand on any compromise, and it's worked for them. Every other thing where compromise has been provided, it's been a case of "give an inch, they take a mile". These fuckers have said, from day one, "no way in hell you're taking an inch out of anything other than our cold, dead, hands." It's worked for them, but it's fucked over any sense of reasonableness on the subject as a result. So much so that legislation was passed to forbid any research into gun control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickey_Amendment_(1996)
I will pretty much agree with you on that. I cancelled my membership when they fought tooth and nail against a straight forward, simple bill in Tennessee to keep guns out of children's hands. There has to be compromise, not scorched Earth policy on either side. The only problem is much like cigarettes as soon as the anti-smoking crowd got it's foot in the door it then proceeded to kick the door in and I could easily see the same thing happening with gun control.
Holy shit you ain't kidding. There's a 100% chance that if you looked in this guy's house/apartment you'd find a Warhammer miniatures army and collection of D&D books.
Dana Loesch is definitely one of the most stupid and repulsive cunts in America. Her mental gymnastics over Philano Castille were impressively pathetic. I love how the hee-haw far right fucks down there will throw any tarted-up cheerleader-looking chick under 50 years and 200 pounds on TV to speak for them and they’ll drone along with anything they say like a bunch of pussy-whipped teenagers.
Then go with a hot porn star instead. They only open their mouths for good reasons, and you won’t need to drown them in a mud puddle afterwards.
On a scale of 1 to "burn down the government," I wonder how furious the family members of the victims are right now? The lawsuits that come from this are going to be interesting, and likely will set some case law precedent.
Even worse. I read a report today that said the DoD failed to report about 30% of criminal convictions to the FBI in the past few years. They're fucked. At least they better be.
Louis CK is the next one up https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/09/arts/television/louis-ck-sexual-misconduct.html
The fuck..... people just think this shit is ok? Whipping out your cock and masturbating in front of someone because you tell jokes for a living? Is that the excuse we're going with now? I can't wait to see how his fan boys are going to try to spin this one.
I’ve heard stuff on podcasts and online that always hinted at Louie for shit like this but it’s first time I remember him being publicly named.
I’ve known of Louis’ behavior for some time. It’s been a few years since people have talked about it though. I’m sure he’s been shitting bricks the past few weeks. I’d hate to be a famous sexual predator right now. This is only picking up momentum.
It’s just weird because my personal version of hell is having to masturbate in front of someone. I could just never do it, let alone want to actually do it.
This is going to suck especially hard for him, because his entire career is based upon the ability to make jokes about topics exactly like this. I'm sure every magazine is gonna run a version of the headline "When Comedy Isn't Funny" or "The Joke's On Him." His act literally has masturbation jokes in it. All the sudden he's a sexual predator, and there is nothing he can do or say that will make him funny anymore. I give him a year before he's homeless.
I doubt he'll be homeless. He's got a LOT of money. Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee is supposed to have moved to Netflix before 2017 is over. They were doing new episodes and hosting the old ones from the last 8 seasons. I wonder if they'll delete the Louis CK one.
Not that it excuses his behavior at all, but it sounds like he is an actual serious sexual addict and in need of some long term cognitive behavioral therapy. Obviously news is just breaking and more details will show, but he sounds like he has compulsions that are very difficult for him to control. So to deal with it, he has his comedy, which made him popular for expressing details about a real problem--so it gave him money, fame, and power, which worsened the problem. There are all different sorts of people who are on the aggressor side of a sexual transgression, and in this case, he just sounds sick to me.
Nah, I’m thinking this is payback for the $200k she never paid him for work he did and the additional $500k gig that was promised and never delivered.
Okay, that at least makes sense. If it was purely him being uncomfortable because she appeared in a see-through negligee then he’s the wimpiest security guard ever.
