Why should she give t back anyway? It’s not like Weinstein made that money from groping people. It’s not exactly blood money. Sure, she shouldn’t have accepted it if she knew the details about him, but it’s weird to expect her to give t back.

Well, she's not going to, so I guess there's nothing to worry about.

Did anyone listen to the covert recording linked in the New Yorker article? Weinstein pleads, begs and commands a young model/actress to come into his hotel room for 5 minutes while he showers. She repeatedly says no and finally gets away. Weinstein sounds so desperate to get her in there. Clearly he was in need of his "fix" that night.

Listened to it on CNN last night. Very creepy. Also the news reporter who claims he cornered her in a
restaurant basement and then proceeded to “pleasure himself” in front of her. Hurricane Harvey has taken on a whole new meaning.

You must be her political adviser and life coach.

Sure, you can argue that she doesn't need to give the money back, that it didn't come from the bad behavior (and someone I'm sure can argue otherwise). But what "should" she do and say in this situation? Her answer shows how clueless she is to how she looks and comes across. This argumentative approach, saying that there is no one to give the money back to (what?), and then saying she will take care of all of this at the end of the year when she give 10% of her income to charity. That just raises a lot more questions. Are you giving all the money to charity? Or just part of it? Can you do that with political donations? Which charities? And are you just going to count that as part of your 10%, or in addition to your 10%?

No doubt she anticipated this question would be asked, and that is the answer she came up with. She's defensive (maybe for good reason?). How about a full-throated "We gave all the money back. I wrote the check yesterday." or " We gave all the money to such-and-such charity that focuses on women victims of sexual abuse?" followed by another condemnation of this behavior.

This is why we have Trump as our president.

Makes total sense. We accept a male who actually sexually harassed people over a female who accepted money from someone who sexually harassed people and said dumb things about it.

Nothing about Trump being president makes sense. But Hillary is perhaps the only person in America that could have lost to him, and she seems intent on spending the rest of her life reminding us of that.

If the democrats were smart they would distance themselves from Hillary just like if the republicans were smart they would distance themselves from Drumpf. I don't even see enough collective intelligence in both parties to do that.

We just elected a president with a history of doing the same thing.

[SCcoug]

We just elected another president with a history of doing the same thing.

Haha. Good catch.

[Uncle Ted]

We just elected a[nother] president with a history of doing the same thing.

Yeah, birds of a feather...

My favorite conspiracy radio entertainment in the morning is sounding off on this now.

Apparently most of the Hollywood studios and content distribution companies are owned by China. Who isn't owned by China? Weinstein's company. This is all just an elaborate scheme by China to force Weinstein to sell his company so that they can pick it up and further their means of controlling the media and messages the American people hear out of Hollywood.

There is no event for which UT can't find some meaningless connection.
