Donna Karan: Weinstein Accusers May Have Been ‘Asking for It’

“You look at everything all over the world today and how women are dressing and what they are asking by just presenting themselves the way they do. What are they asking for? Trouble,’ Karan said during an interview, when asked about the allegations against Weinstein, with whom she is friends. “How do we present ourselves as women? What are we asking? Are we asking for it by presenting all the sensuality and all the sexuality?” She called Weinstein and his wife "wonderful people.”

Actress Rose McGowan, who was reportedly one of Weinstein’s alleged victims, called Karan’s comments “deplorable.”
Then there is this causing a twitter stir.

This is what the Euros said when their Moslem "guests" began gang-raping young women.

It's also what Goebbels said to justify Kristallnacht.

And now it's...
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Deutschland is happy and gay!

We're marching to a faster pace
Look out, here comes the master race!

Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Rhineland's a fine land once more!
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Watch out, Europe
We're going on tour!

Springtime for Hitler and Germany...
Winter for Poland and France
Come on, Germans
Go into your dance!

Don't be schtupid, be a schmarty, come and join the Nazi party!

The cognitive dissonance is really starting to take its toll on lefties.

Never have done yoga. Can't do it now.

Honestly, wondering whether I will try that post surgery, whenever that takes place.

I suppose: It's possible. I might think: No frickin' way! So much always has been such a high bar or not worth the effort. Stark choice!!--pick one or the other, full stop is how I was raised, in more ways that youse guys know. I know how to do that.

The media is really soiling itself over this Weinstein travesty because they are the ones who made it possible. An active serial sex abuser who operated openly for decades and nobody did anything. Like Cosby before him. Protected by the media. There is clear precedent and it's probably continuing with some as yet unknown serial abusers, including but not limited to the gay sex abuse that goes on regularly in Hollywood. People who have spoken out are demeaned and belittled in the press, but that may change. Bryan Singer, take notes: your day of disgrace is coming. I have some sympathy for the women who traded self-respect for great success, especially since good ole Pervey apparently had a ton of compromising photos of them. However, there is nothing whatsoever courageous about outing him NOW that it's safe. And those feigning ignorance or staying quiet are just disgusting. If I've heard about this pervert then people in the industry definitely have heard about him. The entertainment-media complex, and their political mouthpieces, enabled this criminal all while lecturing and scorning the rest of America as deplorable. Shame.

I did call this right, oh, by the way. All these women, so fit, twisting themselves in different positions in order to--so fit are they!--to call out The Harvey. LMAO.

Yet, wait. There's so much hypocrisy left to highlight (including men sorts) ... .

SO gross. CNN decided to use the hypocritically pious commentator Jeffrey Toobin to comment on latest events re: Weinstein. I saw that and noted it (wtf? I thought--that's the Jeffrey Toobin who was at the center of a moral storm after he impregnated the daughter of fellow journalist Jeff Greenfield, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc., right? Yeah, I was right.). CNN didn't mention that bit 'o factoid[s]-context.

NEXT UP! Watching The Five today (a Fox show which I record and watch regularly), that CNN clip was used as a lead in to a sorta, kinda "even" [in both senses of that word] discussion on the topic at hand. Of course, The Five hosts didn't mention Toobin's history, either. What, did they not know/get that either? Talk about ostrich-like. I'll give points to Gutfeld, whom I've also read--watched--heard for many, many years, for at at least *obliquely" referencing the obvious point (um: Ailes? O'Reilly? Etc.?) that ALL in the media are sinners. But it's not as if he stated it plain. He. did. not. Perhaps it's because Jesse Watters, an obvious acolyte, is there. Or perhaps (and this SO pains me, because she's my fave) it's because Dana Perrino is so naive that she never knew what the phrase "casting couch" meant until Wednesday's evening episode of The Five. Or maybe because he doesn't want, in addition, to call out Kim or anyone else there, in any sort of real way.

I do have a--if you wanna call it that--sense of humor.

I mean: I'm laughing my ass off.

My thought is that he's just dug in, full stop.

... . ... . Ms. Greenfield met Mr. Toobin in the Condé Nast cafeteria when, while taking a breather from law school in her mid-20s, she worked as a fact-checker for Glamour magazine. They fell into a secretive off-and-on relationship spanning nearly a decade.

When Ms. Greenfield first informed him of her pregnancy, she said, Mr. Toobin questioned the paternity, balked at submitting to a test and vowed to take no responsibility for a baby he wasn’t sure was his. ... . ... .
.

Of course, that child was his, which is why he both "... vowed to take no responsibility... " AND [tellingly] "... balked at submitting to a test ...".

LMAO. Greg Gutfeld, of course, knew all about ^that. You can look it up. Longtime columnist and humorist, he is. I kid you not.

None of this is particularly funny, actually, to me, oh by the way.

It ain't funny to me when smart, sharp--even high IQ!!!! ; )--folks leave out not just the obvious, but also the obviousness.

It pisses me off.

No. No!

Actually, The People are making this possible. The People do make it possible. The People have made it possible. The People continue to make it possible.


It's up to The People.

Only Weak People blame The Media. The People get The Media that they deserve, much as The People get The Government that they deserve.

All soiling ought to fall on The People, on account of their choices--

--and that includes the choices made by each and every person in terms of government and media as well as the collective choices made by The People regarding both Media and Government.
