Support NeoGAF

[neurosisxeno]

whos weinstien and what did they do?

Movie producer with a now established history of sexual harassment that donated to a lot of Dem's. He also was forced out of his own company and has already been blacklisted. Also how you can even compare the Clinton campaign accepting donations from Weinstein before this was well known and Trump actually saying/admitting he did the same exact things as being exactly the same is beyond me...

 

[RDreamer]

whos weinstien and what did they do?

Scummy Hollywood exec with a history of sexual harassment. Lots of women coming forward against him, including one story of him masturbating in front of someone. Really disgusting shit. He donated to Democrats in the past.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Call me when a single Democrat refers to Weinstein's bullshit as locker room talk, and maybe you'll start to make sense, GOP.

Also, when Weinstein is an elected Democrat official. If Republicans had to be responsible for every one of their voters......

I'm seeing tons of GOP-paid TV ads against Joe Donnelly in Indiana that are all about pushing people to call him to support GOP tax reform.

Someone should tell the Republicans to put out an actual bill first.

Oh wait they won’t because the whole party is run by intellectually vacant morons.

Sorry, fucking morons.

Maybe they could be useful for once and reauthorize CHIP instead of holding it hostage for some asinine Trump proposal, probably carving his face into the moon or something.

I hope Pence is miserable. Hope he’s crying in a bathroom that Trump doesn’t even let him enjoy a fucking football game without Trump making it about himself.

Also the fact that Republican proposals are the least popular in the country. Nobody except rich assholes wants the corporate tax rate and estate tax lowered/repealed. As they said on PSA, the only thing that Polls worse than Democratic Tax Policy is Republican Tax Policy.

 

[AntraxSuicide]

I never thought I'd be happy for my state government, but man, NC is a mess. Our biggest corruption is the fact that like 90% of our government worked for the law offices of Butler Snow before getting into office, and then after their terms, they go right back. It's a pretty blatant grift.

That's why it was so bizarre. They're everywhere, yet there's not even any real push right now. Wierd.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I reveal to you a Presidential Campaign firing on all cylinders:

A cartoon Mark Zuckerberg toured hurricane-struck Puerto Rico in virtual reality

Mark Zuckerberg put on an Oculus Rift this afternoon and used Facebook’s new virtual reality platform, Facebook Spaces, to transport himself to Puerto Rico, the Moon, and his house. He broadcast the moment live on Facebook in what turned out to be a rather strange demo of a social platform that doesn’t have a clear use yet. In particular, Zuckerberg’s choice of locations emphasized just how odd it’ll be to watch other people in any sort of serious situation in virtual reality.

Zuckerberg’s first stop, along with Facebook social VR chief Rachel Franklin, was to Puerto Rico, where he stood in front of a 360-degree video from NPR documenting the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. He used the opportunity to discuss what Facebook is doing to aid relief — matching donations, sharing data with the Red Cross — but it was all pretty strange to watch for what perhaps should have been an obvious reason: Zuckerberg was represented by a floating cartoon character.

Regarding NC, I do my part and vote in every election and vote pretty much straight D. Dare I have any hope? Is there a realistic chance that the Rs could lose the super majority in the next election? We're so gerrymandered.

 

[TheLaughingStock]

Harvey Weinstein, movie executive, serial sexual predator, and Crooked Hillary donor.

As Democrats denounce Weinstein, Clintons and Obama stay mum

Cillizza received flak, but the fact Weinstein was a major donor quickly blew up. Now folks are returning money, donating to charity, and those who don't are being put on the hot seat.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I reveal to you a Presidential Campaign firing on all cylinders:

This dude is talking about whatever the fuck that demo was supposed to be showing off being the future of social interactions.

His platform is the home of all kinds of racists, hateful, genocide wishing people as well as covert, clandestine accounts run by foreign entities. I wonder what could go wrong with giving these kinds of groups (that have already used Facebook to congregate) virtual spaces where they could meetup as if they were meeting up in person and no one would ever know about it because Facebook sure as fuck doesn't monitor or moderate its own platform...

Spoiler

Virtual nazi rallies or virtual meetings between questionable entities is what could go wrong

 

[pigeon]

That's why he received flak! Because he's an avatar of a media system which blames Democrats for taking donations from a sexual harasser while condoning Republicans sending a serial sexual assaulter to the White House.

One Trump confidant likened the president to a whistling teapot, saying that when he does not blow off steam he can turn into a pressure cooker and explode. "I think we are in pressure cooker territory," said this person, who requested anonymity to speak candidly.

It would just be a heat of the moment thing. I mean what person doesn't say the worst possible word they could think of in a fit of frustration? We should cut him some slack if that happens.

What made me think of just how bad it is, was when it came out his aides were actually encouraging him to tweet in order to "blow off steam". Thought the lash out tweets were examples of his pressure cooker moments, but apparently that's what stops him from getting even worse

You had one freaking job, Jerry.

I hope Dak and Zeke kneel.

 

[thepotatoman]

I'm noticing that if the Gerrymandering SCOTUS case goes through, both parties are really going to be incentivized to pad out their statewide popular vote. You can't afford to have any seat go uncontested in any state that's a potential to gerrymander either way.

Ted Cruz- "Dear diary, today I have finally kissed enough ass to be back in the good graces of Trump."

 

[CrimzonSamurai]

Why is Cruz exempt? The one guy who didn't immediately kneel in front of Trump's flaccid bits gets a pass? Weird.

Also why is it worse for some people that Pence didn't stay for the game he used taxpayer money to go to? I mean I know the whole kneeling thing plays into it but the fact our tax money goes to pay for anyone to go to a football game in the first place is objectionable to me.

The Mercers gave big sums of cash to Cruz Super PACs. Since the Mercers are also bankrolling Bannon, they aren't going to snipe one of their own.

Well when everyone else hates you, you need someone to support you

 

[yursnhere]

OK, maybe I should know the answer to this, but I have questions regarding campaign donations, and more specifically the ridiculous ‘controversy’ surrounding Weinstein’s donations to democrats. If the maximum individual contribution to a campaign is $2700 (adjusted for inflation), how is it that Weinstein has donated millions to democrats/DNC and specifically ~$30,000 to Hillary, Obama, etc? Wouldn’t he have reached his limit? Are they including donations to PACs and friends of his who he asked to donate too?

The same question goes for Kasowitz donating $32k personally to the NY attorney who then dropped the case against Ivanka and Trump Jr. Am I missing some loophole?

 

[shinra-bansho]

You can donate up to $2,700 per election i.e. you can do it once for a primary and then still do it again for a general. You can also put about $34k into each of the national committees e.g. House and Senate campaign committees separately. You can also donate $10K to state, district, local party.

Adds up.

A donor can basically give a maximum of about $420K.

Kremlin recommends 'restraint' on North Korea to avoid worsening tensions

http://thehill.com/policy/internati...t-on-north-korea-to-avoid-worsening-situation

Russia on Monday said countries should exercise restraint in dealing with North Korea following President Trump's comments on the threat from Pyongyang.

“Moscow has called and continues to call on the parties involved in the conflict and on those who have anything to do with this issue to exercise restraint and to avoid any steps that would only worsen the situation," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, according to Reuters.

He was planning something like this for before Alabama.
http://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/10/bannon-gop-primaries-mcconnell-trump-242522

President Donald Trump's closest allies are planning a slate of primary challenges against Republican senators, potentially undermining the party's prospects in 2018 and further inflaming tensions between GOP leaders and the White House.

Perhaps longer since he a hostile relationship with the Republican establishment and always wanted to change the party.

Even if his side wins a few seats. I think this will a prelude to a bigger battle within the party.

 

[RustyNails]

I think Bannon is looking to put his eggs in Cruz' basket for 2020. Not sure if thats a good idea for someone like Bannon. Cruz wont rock the boat with UN or NATO, and probably will takethe threat of nuclear annihilation a little more seriously. But he will likely go along with all the dog whistling bullshit like NFL protests, crazy border wall and Muslim ban.
