The bottom line is that we need to teach our society, and kids, that "power" does not equate to control over individuals. Whether it's men or women, red or blue, rich or not so rich, having power does not give someone the right to pretend they have the right to someone's body. Whether it's sexual or labor or medical or anything.
Why are there so many creeps on the right. I know the left has some too
Matt Lauer. NBC - not a politician and who knows where his politics truly lie.
Garrison Keillor. NPR - not a politician and who knows where his politics truly lie.
Charlie Rose. CBS/PBS - not a politician and who knows where his politics truly lie.
Glenn Thrush. NYT - not a politician and who knows where his politics truly lie.
Michael Oreskes. NPR - not a politician and who knows where his politics truly lie.
Mark Halperin. MSNBC/NBC - not a politician and who knows where his politics truly lie.
Hunter Biden - not a politician and who knows where his politics truly lie.
Jeffry Toobin CNN - not a politician and who knows where his politics truly lie. But the ladies said he wanked like a GOPer.
Anthony Weiner AkA Carlos Danger - not currently a politician and went through hell for his sexting issues.
Harvey Weinstein - not a politician and who knows where his politics truly lie. Not protected by dems and paying a hefty price.
The blue dress guy - Is a [censored] really creepy? But I'll give you this one as a reach.
John Edwards former Presidential candidate - Cheated on his wife... not creepy but sleazy.
I openly admit to there being creeps on the left, but all the posts so far only seem to be talking about the left when the right is chock full o'creeps. Trump, Jr., Rudy, Gaets, The judge (not a politician), Kudlow, etc.
You can't spit without hitting a GOPer creep and new ones get drug into the light almost weekly it seems. And I know that these guys aren't politicians doesn't really matter except we can't vote out private sector creeps. And you might not affiliate with the racists, bigots, white supremacists, militia types, conspiracy nuts, or Nazis but they have claimed the GOPer party as their own. So like I said, hard to believe all the creeps on the right.
Who knows where his politics truly lie? LMAO, All those news outlets "truly" know : ...they don't hire conservatives unless you're a token conservative like Ana Navarro, S.E.Cupp, or Jennifer Rubin and agree with liberal talking points. That's funny!
I don’t even consider Mark Halperin a lefty. He seems mere even keeled these days.
If you look into some of the statements made, there is a lot of inappropriateness, but is it appropriate to banish a person for life?
The most obvious one appears to have been missed. Al Franken. Inappropriate yes, but banishment was a bit harsh.
There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.
I do think Cuomo crossed the line. Going underclothing is something that you do in a private consensual setting.
As for the kissing and touching and weird questions, creepy, yes. But in the end these are misdemeanor crimes.
There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.
OF COURSE! Dems are always policing their own while GOPers reward their deviants, pervs, and crooks.
Dems just let their creeps loose in women's bathrooms!
Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
i agree. these lowlives transcend petty party/gender/race nonsense.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Frontier Airlines passenger taped to seat after allegedly groping, attacking flight attendants PUBLISHED TUE, AUG 3 20215:10 PM EDTUPDATED TUE, AUG 3 20216:03 PM EDT Leslie Josephs
A passenger was taped to his seat after he allegedly groped two flight attendants and punched another, according to a police report. The incident is the latest in a string of alleged physical violence on board aircraft this year.
A Frontier Airlines passenger was taped to his seat after he allegedly groped two flight attendants and punched another in the face on a Miami-bound flight from Philadelphia last week, according to a police report.
The passenger, 22-year-old Maxwell Berry of Norwalk, Ohio, had finished two drinks and was ordering another when he allegedly brushed his empty cup against a flight attendant’s “back side inappropriately,” said the Miami-Dade Police Department report about the July 31 flight. Berry later allegedly groped the breasts of two flight attendants, who asked a third cabin crew member for help, the report said. Berry then allegedly punched that flight attendant in the face “with a closed fist.”
Berry could not immediately be reached for comment.
“A fight ensued,” said the report. The third flight attendant and “nearby passengers” restrained Berry “and had to tape him down to the seat and tie him with a seatbelt extender” for the rest of the flight, the police report said. Berry was arrested at Miami International Airport.
The incident marks the latest report of unruly and physically violent behavior of passengers on planes in recent months. The Federal Aviation Administration said it has received 3,715 reports of unruly behavior by passengers since the start of the year, close to 75% of them related to passengers who refuse comply with the federal mask mandate.
The FAA is receiving about 100 reports a week, a rate that has been steady over the past several weeks, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Incidents of violence and the uptick in unruly passenger reports have alarmed flight attendant labor unions, who have asked airlines and federal prosecutors to do more to stop the behavior.
A survey by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA published last week said that 84% of cabin crew members have dealt with unruly travelers this year and that 17% have experienced a physical incident.
“The situation on Frontier this weekend is one of the worst examples,” said AFA International President Sara Nelson in a written statement. “When he refused to comply after multiple attempts to de-escalate, the crew was forced to restrain the passenger with the tools available to them onboard. We are supporting the crew.”
Frontier said the crew members who worked the Saturday flight are on paid leave pending an investigation
“Frontier Airlines maintains the utmost value, respect, concern and support for all of our flight attendants, including those who were assaulted on this flight,” the carrier said in a statement.
what is it about airports and airplanes that just bring out the absolute worst in people?
i cant even comment on just this dude cause there's been so many videos of people getting into fights and crap recently.
is this like national cabin fever stuff?
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
I've never seen anything like this in an airport or on a plane. I'm sure it's a combination of many things, alcohol or drugs, privilege (everybody thinks they have some imaginary right to be an ass whenever they're told to do or act a certain way), alcohol or drugs, people thinking they don't have to respect authority, alcohol or drugs, and oh yeah, I've read reports that a lot of people are all pissy about having to wear masks and keep them pulled over their noses.
They can be people who don't have anything to do with politics.
Republicans and Democrates are politicians a profession of lies. Voting is in most cases pick the best from two evils.
In general they are professional liars. Hypocracy is thier way of life. The best politicians are really the best liars. It is how they get into office and how they stay in office. The good ones will get some good things done by simply out playing the others. It is a profession of quid pro quo. At it's best it is compromise.
Some are better than others but they will sell thier souls for votes to stay in power.
It just so happens at this point in time because of trump. Republicans have gone off the rails.
It's all the pent up hate being released. When a country is divided this is what it gets like. Before NAM ended the country got pretty divided along political and racial divides as well as pro war vs. anti war factions. I had a young twenty something uncle that was mouthy and a bigot back then. Somebody didn't like him much because they burnt his car right outside of my house in a small farm town with a 20K population.
None of this is new when tensions are this high and unlike the old days, any scuffle ends with arrests so more make the news.
Your feelings and opinions do not add up to facts.
The Horrific Details of How Andrew Cuomo Allegedly Preyed on a State Trooper Pilar Melendez Tue, August 3, 2021, 1:42 PM·7 min read
Letitia James American lawyer and politician
When New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that her office had substantiated a slew of allegations of sexual harassment against scandal-plagued Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday, perhaps the most shocking revelation involved a female state trooper assigned to his protective detail.
In addition to targeting the woman for assignment to him and subsequently sexually harassing her on several occasions, the AG’s probe led by two outside lawyers found, Cuomo tried to play off his interest in the cop as a push for more diversity on his staff.
In other words, the probe suggested, an erstwhile liberal titan who had as recently as last year styled himself a MeToo stalwart was now using another progressive priority—diversity in politics and law enforcement—to try to save his own skin.
Gov. Cuomo Broke the Law by Sexually Harassing Multiple Women, AG Concludes
The independent investigation into Cuomo found he sexually harassed at least 11 current and former female state staffers in a “hostile” and “unsafe” work environment that repeatedly covered up for his “pattern of inappropriate conduct.” In addition to detailing new incidents of misconduct, the probe offered fresh details about previously reported allegations against Cuomo, including that he groped a current staffer’s breast last November, kissed her on the lips at least once, and touched her inappropriately several times. Her allegations were already being investigated by the Albany Police Department.
But even as the investigation concluded that Cuomo “engaged in unlawful sexual harassment,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said her office did not reach a conclusion “as to whether the conduct amounts to or should be the subject of criminal prosecution.”
“The independent investigation found that Governor Cuomo sexually harassed many women, many of whom were young women, by engaging in unwanted groping, kisses, hugging, and by making inappropriate comments,” James said in a Tuesday press conference.
All of the allegations detailed in the report are the stuff of nightmares, and Cuomo has steadfastly denied or tried to explain the incidents away as misunderstandings.
“I never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. I am 63 years old, I’ve lived my entire adult life in public view. That is just not who I am and that’s not who I have ever been,” Cuomo said during a Tuesday briefing. He went on to repeat his axiom that his penchant for allegedly consensual touching is just a harmless personality trait.
But the episode involving the unnamed trooper, as described by investigators, appeared to be uniquely brazen.
Biden Tells Andrew Cuomo to Quit Already as Scandal Spirals
Among the acts of sexual misconduct described in the probe were at least one occasion where the trooper said Cuomo ran his hands down her body, issued her a kiss on the cheek in front of a colleague, and made a request she help him find a girlfriend who can “handle pain.”
“I felt...completely violated because to me, like that’s between my chest and my privates,” the trooper told investigators while describing a 2019 incident in which, the report says, Cuomo ran “his hand across her stomach, from her belly button to her right hip, while she held a door open for him at an event.”
“But, you know, I’m here to do a job,” she added.
The investigation found that Cuomo took deliberate steps to ensure the trooper was moved onto his Protective Services Unit in the first place, even though she did not have the traditionally required experience for the prestigious role.
The inciting incident: a chance meeting at an event at Robert F. Kennedy Bridge in November 2017.
“Haha they changed the minimum from 3 years to 2. Just for you,” a senior member of the trooper’s team told her in a 2017 email, along with a notice indicating her two-year service on the force was now sufficient for her to join the unit in charge of protecting Cuomo.
The report states that the senior investigator in charge of the trooper’s transfer testified that Cuomo was directly involved in the “decision to hire her” after he said he was impressed with her performance at the bridge event.
The governor’s other stated reason for pushing for the trooper’s involvement in the PSU was that he was “seeking to increase diversity in the PSU, including having more women,” the senior investigator testified.
“When asked about his involvement in Trooper #1’s transfer, the Governor recited several times that he ‘was on constant alert to recruit more women, Blacks, and Asians to the state police detail,’” the report states.
Ex-Staffer: Cuomo’s Office Was a Creepy ‘Environment of Control’
It added that Cuomo said when he testified to investigators that he did not know about the minimum service requirement for the PSU and that he had encouraged two women at the RFK Bridge event to apply to the unit.
But the report found that Cuomo’s testimony was inconsistent with information from the senior investigator, the trooper, and another woman who was at the event.
“Senior Investigator #1 told us that although there was at least one additional woman (who was also a Trooper) present at the RFK Bridge event, he does not remember that Trooper speaking with the Governor,” the report states. “Nor did Senior Investigator #1 recall the Governor or anyone from the Executive Chamber speaking to him about hiring the second woman. To the contrary, Senior Investigator #1 stated that shortly after the event, the second Trooper remarked to him, ‘oh, you recruited [Trooper #1], but not me.’”
After joining the PSU in January 2018, where she remains a current member, the trooper who said she was harassed by Cuomo told investigators she was moved from working at his Mount Kisco residence to his travel team—and sometimes even served as the Governor’s driver.
During her interactions with Cuomo, the trooper told investigators, the Governor was generally “flirtatious” and “creepy”—a behavior trait she did not see him have with her male colleagues. Soon, the trooper said her encounters with Cuomo turned “inappropriate and offensive,” including repeatedly touching her body without her consent, kissing her on the cheek in front of a colleague, and making several demeaning and sexually suggestive comments. She said she never reported these incidents because she was afraid of career ruin.
In August 2019, the trooper said, Cuomo asked her while she was not wearing a dress as she drove him to an event, to which she responded that “because she wears a gun and would not have anywhere to put the gun if she wore a dress.” After Cuomo left the car, the trooper said she received a message from a superior telling her not to repeat what the governor said, a sign she took as an attempt to “silence” her.
“On one occasion in an elevator, the Governor ran his finger down the center of Trooper #1’s back from the top of her neck down the center of her spine, while saying, ‘Hey you,’” the report states.
A few weeks later, in the summer of 2019, the trooper said, Cuomo asked to kiss her in the driveway of his Mount Kisco home.
“I remember just freezing, being—in the back of my head, I’m like, Oh, how do I say no politely, because in my head if I said no, he’s going to take it out on the detail. And now I’m on the bad list,” the trooper testified to investigators, according to the report. “Unsure what to do, she replied, ‘Sure.’ The Governor then proceeded to kiss Trooper #1 on the cheek and said something to the effect of, ‘Oh, I’m not supposed to do that’ or ‘unless that’s against the rules.’”
A male PSU colleague also corroborated the incident to investigators and joked to the trooper “that the Governor had never asked to kiss him,” the report states.
The report added that Cuomo once went so far as to ask the trooper why she would want to get married, before stressing that the commitment “always ends in divorce, and you lose money, and your sex drive goes down."
In another conversation, Cuomo asked the trooper her age, before telling her that she was “too old for me” when she said she was in her late 20s. She tried to deflect the conversation by joking about becoming a matchmaker for Cuomo and asked him for his requirements.
“According to Trooper #1, the Governor responded that for a girlfriend, he was looking for someone who ‘can handle pain,’” the report states.
The allegations levied by the trooper immediately spurred outrage among the law-enforcement community, including the New York State Police Investigators Association, which called Cuomo’s actions “completely unacceptable and utterly disgraceful.”
The trooper’s claims echo accusations from several other former Cuomo aides, including Charlotte Bennett. The five-month investigation into Cuomo, which involved 179 witness interviews, also found that he “routinely” interacted with women in a way they found humiliating and fostered a toxic work environment.
“I have always said my office is a demanding place to work and it is not for everyone. We work really, really hard,” Cuomo responded to the allegations on Tuesday.
Don't blame the clown for acting like a clown. Ask yourself why you keep going to the circus.
You know what's amazing to me? Reading these two articles one after another. I cannot emphasize enough that I'm NOT commenting on the individual situations or saying that anything is ok, simply putting one next to another and letting differences be highlighted.
First article - rando on plane gets drunk and grabs every boob in reach. Gets duct-taped to his seat (and probably roughed up in the process) and cannot comment because the law is in his mouth from going so far up his backside.
Second article - politician who gained celebrity status for his overall 'meh' response to COVID apparently has a well-established track record of sexual assault including (you guessed it) groping breasts. DA's response is "they didn't reach a conclusion as to whether the conduct amounts to or should be the subject of criminal prosecution".
Unreal.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
I think one big difference is that on the plane there were plenty of witnesses and probably multiple videos on cell phones. Plus the guy supposedly punched one of the flight attendants which is what will most likely get him in the most trouble.
The politician probably did most things in the shadows, so it becomes a he said she said situation. And while he probably is a turd, it becomes really hard to prove anything in a court of law

Most in flight incidents are over wearing a mask......
Flight attendants say they’re seeing a growing number of unruly airline passengers
Airlines and the FAA back that up, reporting over 3,600 cases of unruly passengers this year, most often over face masks, which are required on planes until mid-September.
Ignorance, riff raff or cult member? That's actually a multiple choice question where any one of those answers or all of the above would also be correct. There is no wrong answer there.
