God I remember I read some persons memoir or something, and she said she saw Monica Lewinsky at a bar and went up and told her Chelsea Clinton was there (she wasn’t) and got her to go out a back door while Monica was thanking her, as a “prank”

John Oliver is the one I do not want to see allegations happen against. I mean I really cannot see it happening.

Awwww FFS, this sucks but let’s lance the boil and get rid of all the scum.

The rich and powerful have many opportunities to have consensual sex (get this!) outside of the workplace. The guys in position of power engaging in this sort of behavior absolutely are getting off on the domination aspect of assaulting subordinates.

Right and not to further politicize it all but I plan to refute this point with the fact that liberals are clearly the only ones holding their constituents accountable. The difference in this respect, is that conservatives are still giving their disgusting leaders passes. Shame on all of them.

I would have to assume that NBC had plenty of evidence, even if it’s circumstantial, to make this move. Social media seems to be full of people deriding NBC and siding with Lauer because he’s “guilty before proven innocent”. It wouldn’t be a stretch for them to have known about rumblings and, given the current climate…

I’d add that everything is black and white. There’s no understanding of nuance. No compassion for anyone else only self pity and blaming others for their own failures.

No it isn’t. It a civil matter and not criminal. ALL CAPS doesn’t make your statement true.

Maybe — stay with me here — just maybe (I know this will sound crazy at first, but ...) we shouldn’t take hashtag slogans quite so literally and without reflection to such a degree that we write long, hand-wringing, navel-gazing, pearl-clutching columns about their face-value meaning.

Better gut the State Department some more. That will shape ‘em up.

This is disgusting. Bring the troops home. Reinstate the draft. No exceptions.

...chalked the discrepancy up to security concerns around putting an exact figure...

GTKRWN, beyond being just terrible and awful, is also just the stupidest acronym I’ve ever seen.

Cinci/NKy is the literal worst. Between the Creationism Museum, the shithawk ambulance chasers minted every semester at NKU’s law school, that megachurch in Monroe where lightning kept torching their “Godzilla Jesus” sculpture, their class-warfare peddling favorite son Jerry Springer, the racist ass ghost of Marge…

Wow. Sex trafficking, I hadn’t thought of his behavior that way. Good.

If someone spews Nazi shit in your face, punch a Nazi. Its a clear cut, tried and true method of dealing with them. Failing to do so means that one Nazi might turn into two... or four. Or 400. They breed with each other like rabbits spewing their hate and their vitriol. Write down their names. Tell the places they…

I think folks at the NYT don’t get how real the threat really is - they don’t take it seriously. Nazis, and White Supremacists have never had horns or flames shooting out of their eyes- they are always “regular people”. This is not news. We HAVE to talk about what white supremacy and “Nazism” really is.

His wife claims our history is lies and that the Nazis were the good guys? No. No. No one should be that stupid. No one should be that damn stupid.

Thanks for doing some real journalism since the NYT couldn’t be bothered. I’m familiar enough with the extremist right that none of this surprises me, but a huge number of people are distinctly not.

I was super-duper worried that he’d get asked a tough question, and then he’d be like, really uncomfortable and stuff.
