It’s probably a little of both. The press does always interview the most over the top people.

Obviously the hatred is priority number one, but how nonsensical it is even from his viewpoint gets to me.

It’s fake. They aren’t really filming people talking. It takes a half hour to light the scene, time to place the cameras, and then they need to check sound and touch up hair and makeup. Any “hidden cameras” or security footage is really a regular camera set up at the perfect angle.

Dammit...why don’t I ever just read down to where someone else inevitably gives a better answer for the same argument I’m about to make?

I bet it’s the straight forward answer- they aren’t supposed to have sex as part of the contract, so if they start getting naked in front of cameras, it’s tantamount to harassment. I’m sure the contestants sign off on how they handle every conceivable situation to avoid harassment or things like flashing the crew.

You were clear and respectful.

There aren’t any body parts people can find sexy that don’t have a separate function. There’s nothing wrong with sexualizing any body part (though I’ll never understand feet!)

And to be fair, it’s because Nicki is the real deal under all the BS, so she can’t adjust to being ethered.

That’s being nice. I don’t think Maher is racist because he’s never been one for the last three decades (though he’s terrible on Islam and religion in general).

But as a comedian and show host for the past 30 years, he’s never even been accused of racism or uttering anything negative against Black people.

Now that it’s all out, a lot of what the rumors were have surfaced.

For 7 hours on the stand!

I thought that at first, but I’m now wondering if he didn’t do that all along. It seems like there’s some deep, broken, thing inside of him, and he must have some sort of sociopathic tendencies to be able to live with that kind of guilt.

It’s so sad to watch now. That’s such a good comic persona, and he was such a positive role model for parents....all down the drain.

Yeah, it’s like they say- it’s not about sex. It’s about controlling the environment and forcing your desires onto someone else. I would imagine powerful people are more likely to have that background/mindset.

I’m now at the point where I’m wondering how he got that way. I don’t want to be rude in speculating, but it feels like he must’ve been abused as a kid.

He coerced her into that too. The reports from the victims read like a bad after school movie where you’d think the victim would never accept the pill.

The part that doesn’t fit is Leslie Harris. Black women are criminally underrepresented behind the camera.

What constitutes the charges against him? Why was he indicted when five other journalists arrested at the same time weren’t?

Trump doesn’t run the Washington DC Police. They don’t allow federal interference in their decisionmaking because they couldn’t exist if they did.
