Hmm, I once worked for a company, some of the officers of which were convicted of bribing foreign officials. I guess I'm now implicated in that.

Bannon is as big a fraud as Trump is. The idea that either of these millionaires 'care' about the working class is laughable.

These are guys that use people to achieve their own ends, most of which are grounded in personal spite and revenge. I find the base adoration of both of them pathetically sad. Geez--you need heroes? Go find some real working class heroes like Bernie Sanders, but please stop with the charade that the Trump/Bannon phonies care.

As far as the way they treat the opposite sex? Well Trump is a known sexual assaulter and philanderer and Bannon has been charged with domestic violence battery.

You'll read about all that on Breitbart, but here's a story you won't see there. Since we're having fun pinning the blame, let's make sure to include Steve Bannon, who made millions with Harvey back in the day. Just saying...if we're gonna play this game, let's play it fair and square.

Wait, wait...tune this out! If Donald didn't tweet it, it's Fake News!

Sorry, but this is irrelevant. Bannon was in the movie biz at the time, and Weinstein has always been highly regarded in the field.

There was no concerted Dem/Lib effort at a cover-up and any woman could have stepped forward to file charges.

It's okay if Bannon did because he's a conservative.

Notice how nobody is asking Tim Allen, Scott Baio , John Voigt Vince Vaugh, Kelsey Grammar, Tom Selleck, James Caan, Dennis Miller, Patricia Heaton, Stallone etc. why they didn't speak up about Weinstein.

I can't wait to hear Bannon's excuse. Allow me to say what he won't: It's all about money. Money, money, money...

Now Oprah's speaking very carefully, stating that she didn't speak to Weinstein directly (he claims Oprah told him to stand up for himself), but that her team acted as a go-between for a future interview on 60 Minutes (which she's infected this season as celebrity correspondent). Baloney! They were friends--sitting together, smooching, grinning from ear to ear--Now she's supposedly jettisoned him?

These people must think we all just fell off the turnip truck. Weinstein's off to "rehab" (damage control), and his wife, whose fashion design company might just take a hit (since we how sanctimonious Hollyweird liberals are with respect to whose designs they wear and who they design for), left Weinstein--LAST WEEK.

They look the other way for as long as they can get away with it, and for as long as the big bucks are rolling in.
