    There's been a number of allegations against Spacey, this is just the first one to get criminal charges against him. He's supposedly paid off a number of people who didn't take kindly to his sexual advances. I suspect he'll be smacked with a lot of civil suits, while having relatively few criminal charges filed against him.

    There is also getting caught up in the moment. Spacey is clearly very arrogant. There has to be a certain excitement that comes when people admire you. There is a good feeling to making them feel good and that can easily become entwined with the sex drive because it is a way we have been taught to make us feel intimate and special to someone. Spacey may feel as if he is doing them a favor and bringing them the joy of intimacy with someone they admire. He may see their momentary fear as something they will regret later if they pull back because he feels he is so great. There is a reality fans tend to fill the heads of stars with grand fantasies.

    I am not saying this excuses the behavior, or is what happened, but it is a thing and we may need to adjust the thinking of society and the rules for fame to protect people.

    Well......

    Let's face it a lot of these people were getting away with this stuff for such a long time so they developed a belief that they are invincible.

    Especially Hollywood people.

    FTFY. Scum is scum, no matter who they think they are. Y'all focus on Hollywood because you don't want to know what's going on in your own backyard.

    Kerist, I used to like Louis C.K. :sigh:

    Scum is scum. True.

    But Hollywood had an extra layer of protection that politicians and CEO's (of non-media companies) couldn't touch.

    What extra layer is that? Seems to me that successful Hollywood people who turn out to be sexual offenders are falling like flies, whereas political success still protects known sexual offenders in positions of power.

    Now.

    Not ten years ago. Not twenty years ago. Not thirty, forty, or fifty.

    Do try to keep up with the actual conversation.

    That would be pretty much all of them.
    And how's that impacted his political career? He still getting speaking engagements? Or is he in a prison cell?

    So who are you thinking of? Clinton has already been pointed out, Kennedy is another obvious example. Who are these politicians who fell from grace for sexual offenses 30 or 50 years ago?

    That you know of.
    Antisemitic dog whistles in conspiracy culture are like teenager spit in fast food.

    I would know.

    Never have I voiced or beloved on such a thing.

    Nor am I into conspiracies. Conspiracies are for idiots. Like you.

    Fuck you cunt.

    Okay, I'll bite: What makes it fake? This is said to be the complete dossier. While some elements have yet to be proven, everything I've read says that the only thing no one's found evidence for is the infamous "pee tape" (which involves Russian hookers pissing on a bed that the Obamas once slept in). If you've got hard info contradicting this, I'd like to see it.

    So, you're quoting the Washington Times? You do know that they're owned by the Moonies, right? If they said that Trump was a baby killer who was in league with the Russians, I'd be dubious of their accusations. Especially if no one else backed them up. You're going to have to do better than that.

    Remember, it was that flaming liberal, John McCain, who turned the dossier over to the FBI. And this piece by an ostensibly unbiased group refutes the assertation that nothing in the Steele Dossier has been proven true.
    Lots more at the link.

    Washington Times?

    Who cares?

    They are fucking quoting the reporter who pushed the Dossier big time.

    Yahoo News’ Michael Isikoff, an early public conduit for Christopher Steele’s anti-Trump dossier, now says the former British spy’s sensational Russia collusion charges lack apparent evidence and are “likely false.”

    As reported by the Daily Caller, Mr. Isikoff this month told Mediaite columnist John Ziegler: “When you actually get into the details of the Steele dossier, the specific allegations, we have not seen the evidence to support them, and in fact, there is good grounds to think that some of the more sensational allegations will never be proven and are likely false.”
