Baaaad, baaaad joke

11 Yep. That's *exactly* what any "normal" citizen would receive for similar crimes. *nods* Okay, AllenG platform addendum- Minimum Sentencing requirements for anyone who holds elective office start at 50% more time than anyone else.

12 house arrest with whom?

13 Filner has purchased a large Sex Castle sign for the front of the house and is hoping for the best.

14

I have a bad feeling about this.

15 Moderately more seriously, he sounds like the kind of serial offender who is nearly 100% likely to re-offend. Chemical castration is the only just punishment.

16 Oh, it'll be "hard" time all right.  They didn't take away my internet access or remove my massive pr0n collection.

17 Bob Menendez.   Still Free.

18 Now, Robert.   Can I call you Bob?   Fine, now Bob, I vant you to stand in front of zee mirror and remoof all your clothes.  Now I vant you to hold your penis in your hand and say out loud, 'I haff a very nice penis.'   I want you to do zis effery zingle day for zee next three months.   Can you do  zat for me Bob?   And effery time you start to feel inadequate, go back to your mirror and do  zis simple exercise again.  Your self-esteem will grow by leaps and bounds.

19 Someone call up Popeye! I need some "escorts" since I can't go anywhere for 3 months!

20 so the media make a bigger deal of a  Citizen child with an imaginary pretend Hand making  gun than a congressman with actual hands  going where they shouldn't have been?

21 The article says he plead guilty to 1 felony and 2 misdoemeoners. I wasn't aware that sexual harrasment was a criminal offnse to begin with.


It has always been something that was grounds for civil action but not criminal.. But I am sure CA has some really strange laws now to "protect women".

22 Is he also facing lawsuits from the women?
I would think there would be harsher punishment for Filner and/or the CA Dem party with that (monetary payouts, etc.).

23 *Runs* *Hides*

24 Gonna need some backup.

Three Months of House Arrest




"Damn it!  Who's hogging the cable modem bandwidth again?"

26 Filner is quoted as saying that he's a changed man and he's deeply grateful that the period of house arrest will coincide with Girl Scout cookie season.

27 Guess Who's Funding the Republican Civil War
Labor unions. And they're doing it through a pro-business Republican PAC.

The Republican Main Street Partnership has emerged as an outspoken, deep-pocketed player in pro-business GOP plans to beat back tea-party challengers next year. But the group's new super PAC has an unexpected source for its seed money: labor unions.

The super PAC, called Defending Main Street, has not yet submitted a major donor disclosure to the Federal Election Commission. But documents filed by other groups show that two labor organizations, the International Union of Operating Engineers and the Laborers' International Union of North America, directed a combined $400,000 to the Republican group in September and October.

Main Street says it has raised roughly $2 million total between its super PAC and an affiliated nonprofit group so far—and that means labor has supplied at least 20 percent of those funds.

For the unions, this is not a surprising move. While both labor groups direct most of their millions to Democrats, they have consistently given smaller amounts to friendly Republicans.

But the scale of these six-figure donations—$250,000 from the Operating Engineers and $150,000 from LIUNA—makes this effort distinct.

28 In other news ... Big, big news on Wall Street today. Vaseline up 17% based upon strong quarterly earnings estimates. Kleenex also up based upon demand forecasts.

29 26 Filner is quoted as saying that he's a changed man and he's deeply grateful that the period of house arrest will coincide with Girl Scout cookie season.

Posted by: Cicero (@cicero) at December 09, 2013 02:18 PM (8ZskC)

A box of thin mints in exchange for a hug? Don't make me cut you, mister.

30 Filner has become deeply interested in spiritual matters and invites any "hot" Jehovah's Witness to come over with some Watchtowers.

31 I'm going to assume that the three months he spends under house arrest will be counted towards his years of service for pension.

32 I'm not sure people serve hard time, or should serve hard time, for this kind of thing. Hard time. Hard. Groping himself. ISWYDT. **Golf. Clap**

33 26 Filner is quoted as saying that he's a changed man and he's deeply grateful that the period of house arrest will coincide with Girl Scout cookie season. --- "Vilderness Girls!" "Aren't you out awfully late to be selling cookies?" "Scout-master says we aren't meeting our quotas."

34 I must not understand this whole war on women thing. I assumed it meant if you prey on women like a Clinton or a Filner that was a bad thing. I was way off.

35 Filner has become deeply interested in spiritual matters and invites any "hot" Jehovah's Witness to come over with some Watchtowers. I thought all the JW missionaries were supposed to be male. And I'm pretty sure *they* would think there's something Wrong With That.

36 Filner says his latest crusade is designed to bring gender equality to the electric utilities by pressuring them to hire more female meter readers.

37

If I may be so bold, ace, I'd say this is another example of     how    America has become a MacGuffin.      

 

These Democrat women didn't come forward to report Filner's behavior because it didn't matter what he did -- he was a Democrat and he Said The Right Democrat Things.  That meant he was   one of the Good Guys,   even if he was a handsy pervert.      In pursuit of the America MacGuffin, the Democrats     can't afford to sideline even the creepiest of their supporters, because that undermines their message about how wonderful Democrat ideology is.  It doesn' MATTER that a significant number of high profile Democrats appear to suffer from the same   handsy/creepy/pervert bug.   They're an abberation that must be endured and hushed up in pursuit of the greater goal.  Democrats can do no wrong, so any wrong done by a Democrat isn't really wrong.

38 May be more to come:

"The charges do not involve FilnerÂ’s former communications director, Irene McCormack Jackson, who expedited the mayorÂ’s downfall by becoming the first to go public with sexual harassment allegations in July. She has filed a lawsuit against Filner and the city, claiming her boss asked her to work without panties, demanded kisses, told her he wanted to see her naked and dragged her in a headlock while whispering in her ear."

39 Bible, Bob?

40 So Filner's punishment is staying home for three months? Funny, other than mine being length of weeks rather than months, that is pretty much what I do on vacation.

41 Bob Filner is hot!

42 If I may be so bold, ace, I'd say this is another example of how America has become a MacGuffin.

45 Wasn't Filner like co-chair of the Progressive Caucus in DC with Pelosi or something like that?

46 Clearly he's already served hard time.

47 49 They should hook him up to the Clockwork Orange chair and tune his TV to the The View 24/7. --- Tis a sin, A SIN, to use the lovely lovely Ludwig Van that way!

"Filner must agree not to seek or hold public office, undergo treatment as recommended by a licensed psychiatrist or psychologist and surrender his city retirement."




Hope he can get by on his congressional pension.

That we're paying for.

60

Now, Robert.   I haff  gone through your file again, and I have come to a different conclusion.   You are a sad, sad pathetic wreck of a failed  human being  and there  is nussing...absolutely nussing...I can do for you.  May God haff mercy on your  soul.  

 

Oh, by the way, you owe me $600 for my consultation!

61 So 3 months at home with nothing to do but surf porn?  Fitting punishment....

62

Not only does AP withhold from the reader that Filner is a Democrat until the very last paragraph, they completely withhold the fact that Filner was a Congressman serving in Washington, DC, for twenty years, and that many of these incidents of harassment occurred during his Congressional service. The way AP writes the story, it is suggested that Filner was nothing but a purely local politician -- Local Crime Story, yo -- who only rose to some kind of minor prominence this past January, when he began serving as a mayor in an out-of-the-way little backwater.

 

Remember this every time you get solicited for money by the gutless nickelfuckers of the GOP.  Tell them that, until they start Rochambeau-ing the MFM, they can piss up a rope.  As well, never speak to an MFM reporter without making it plain that you know they're nothing but the Democrat propaganda apparatus.  Even then, tell them to fuck off and call the DNC for their talking points.

63 I wonder how much time Filner would have gotten if he tried to steal their tampons?

64 Oh, he groped Pelosi. She was just too flattered by the attention to do anything about it.

That or she's got so much Botox in her body that she didn't actually feel the groping occur.

84 The Christians are standing, three deep, arms linked, offering no resistance but their prayers, as the topless women assault, spit on them, scream at them, spray-paint their crotches, and burn an effigy in the square, running around in circles and ululating like maniacs. The word "demonic" comes to mind when looking at this orgy of hate.

They had threatened to burn down the church, and the Christians linked arms and surrounded the church to protect it.

Yeah, they're hella expensive now.  Especially all the original toys.

Now, it's all the Clone Wars shit.

93

The 'name that party' game that gets played whenever a Democrat is caught in a scandal is itself old news. We laugh about it but it begs a vastly more serious existential question. We have to ask ourselves:  Can we ultimately win against these people when nearly all major mass media outlets, the greatest shapers and manipulators of public opinion in the history of man,  have become the de facto agitprop division of the Democratic Party?  That's the big question, maybe the biggest question.

 

The answer, I think, is no, we cannot win against the combined power of the federal government and a subordinate mass media--a media which the Founders intended to serve as a bulwark against governmental power. And no, I don't have a solution--not a peaceable solution, anyway.

94 "star wars new hope starship the one that went to the deathstar." Available options: Y-Wing (all but one got all blowed up), no one "famous" in one. X-Wing (two get away)- Luke Skywalker & Wedge Antilles piloting. Millennium Falcon- Han's ship. TIE Fighters (all the bad guys except Darth Vader) Darth Vader's TIE (sometimes called TIE Advanced 1)

I did see a plush toy version of it for cheaper than $45.  It can't break, yet it looks just like the MF and your 8 year old can have fun bouncing around the house with it without fear.

109 "I did see a plush toy version of it for cheaper than $45" Hmm, that might be a winner. Thanks!

110 Lauren,

Here's the one I was talking about.


http://tinyurl.com/jwlwnps

111 Filner would make a couch run off in disgust-

112

Neglected neighborhoods.  Yeah, right, that's what Filner was about.  Not the public sector unions that got him his squeaker of an election victory over the well-known veteran city councilman gay GOP reformer.  Sure, of course, there's also the idiotic/racist tribalistic element to the Dem "coalition" - blacks, Hispanics, Filipinos in this case.

 

Neglected neighborhoods?  They're famous for not being able to elect people.  Otherwise they wouldn't be "neglected".

 

Love that false framework/dichotomy as well.  Goes to the foundational problem.  City government isn't needed by "downtown business interests" - if they're actually businesses, they need customers and sales, not governments.  And the "neglected" neighborhoods need only streets and basic public services - ya know, the sort that have been easily provided by competent local governments the world over for many years.  Not talking Apollo program stuff here.

 

The very few minutes of TV "news" I am unable to avoid (it literally is the only exposure I have to that crap, local or national) while dressing in the gym locker room suffice to slacken my jaw.  All the make-believe crap and false frameworks are relentlessly pushed - false drama, govt. in a role it has no competence or right to be in, on and on.  

 

Filner's replacement will be determined by whether the public sector unions can muster enough turn-out to defeat Faulconer, nothing more.  Neglected neighborhoods have nothing to do with it. 

113 He serially assaulted woman, while abusing  positions of trust. He should have gone to prison. This is one step below rape. He is scum. He stuck his tongue down at least one woman's mouth, IIRC.

114 As far as the slap-on-the-wrist nature of the sentencing: I don't know if this is really a slap-on-the-wrist. I'm not sure people serve hard time, or should serve hard time, for this kind of thing.


Why not?  Baldy is correct; too bad the party of stoopid won't take advantage of this real war on women.

115 37 Filner has become deeply interested in spiritual matters and invites any "hot" Jehovah's Witness to come over with some Watchtowers. I thought all the JW missionaries were supposed to be male.
