    Ah, the religion of peace does not value infidels but is happy to use them –
    A 30-year-old asylum seeker in Belgium has been sentenced to four years imprisonment after he raped a mentally disabled woman hoping to get her pregnant so he could use the child as an excuse to remain in the country.
    The migrant, named Karim, met with the 19-year-old girl in November 2014 in the city of Liege and held her for three days at a squat where he was living, raping her repeatedly, Belgian newspaper La Dernière Heure reports.
    The mother of the girl, who despite being 19 is said to have a mental capacity equal to a seven or eight-year-old child, told the court that 30-year-old Karim wanted to get the girl pregnant as he had previously been deported from the country and banned from living there for six years.

    So if its Weinstein its the casting couch, so what do yo call it when a 21 year old media intern just happens to hook up with a 53 year head of security for the intel committee??
    New York Times reporter Ali Watkins’ swift rise to prominence in Washington, D.C. journalism circles happened quickly by industry standards, as she is still only 26 years old. But now the media industry is wondering if some of her success is due to top-secret pillow talk — and ethical lapses that may have come with it.
    Last week, a shock indictment revealed that prior to joining the Times, Watkins had a three-year romantic relationship with former Senate Intelligence Committee aide James A. Wolfe, 58, who was accused by federal prosecutors of lying about leaks of sensitive information to journalists, including Watkins herself. And now the New York Times has announced it is investigating Watkins’ conduct, just as the young reporter is leaving the office for a “pre-planned vacation.”
    Watkins began her career in 2013 at McClatchy Washington Bureau, where she was a finalist for the coveted Pulitzer Prize less than three years after she started as an intern while she was still earning her journalism degree from Temple University, according to her LinkedIn page. Along with two colleagues, Watkins and her team were finalists for the 2015 national reporting Pulitzer for “timely coverage of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on CIA torture.” She then landed at The Huffington Post and bolted to BuzzFeed and eventually Politico, all by 2017. She stayed at each news organization for a brief time, covering national security.

    So far, this story, if true, is of monumentous portions of the separation of powers.. Rosiestein threatening the Oversight Committee? WTF???? This is crossing the line, big time. It’s more than CYA, it’s putting the department ahead of Lady Justice, ahead of everything. The Justice Department is really showing it’s teeth to those who have lawfull Oversight over them….for precisely this very reason. They are bearing down and snapping back like the rabid dogs they are.
    Andrew McCarthy is being much too kind and fair and balanced here. He calmly points to what we know already. Hey, the State Department or CIA can break all sorts of laws. But it’s the Justice Department that can put you in jail.. Threatening the Oversight Committee? Who do they think they are? The Justice Department ain’t even in the Constituttion and no statue can ever supersede the Constitution.
    Anyway, glad McCarty is calm about this…I am not. This fight is not about R or D’s or I ‘s or Trump. It’s bipartisan. It’s country over government. That’s the fight. Ok, here’s Calm Andy.

    Can you believe this is a thing! Will NAMBLA be in the streets rioting soon?
    The U.S. House approved a ban Wednesday on the importation and trafficking of anatomically correct child sex dolls and robots that “normalize sex between adults and minors.”
    The proposal was approved in the House by a voice vote and now moves to the Senate.
    “These dolls can be programmed to simulate rape. The very thought makes me nauseous,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, a Virginia Republican.
    Child sex dolls are one niche of a nascent robotic sex industry that has generated debate about the ethics of the use of lifelike machines for sexual activity. It is a subject that turns from squeamish to outright revulsion for many when it touches on child sex dolls and robots.

    There are some real sickos out there, besides the child robots for pedophiles and Walt’s 4:14 pm post about UCSB students writing course material about teaching 4 year olds about masturbation and watching porn.

    Libertarian or bigot?
    The pronoun controversy seems silly. “If somebody wants to be called ‘ze’ or ‘zir,’ why not?” I ask him for my next online video.
    “I don’t care what people want to be called,” he answered. “But that doesn’t mean I should be compelled by law to call them that. The government has absolutely no business whatsoever ever governing the content of your voluntary speech.”
    What if I politely asked him to call me “ze”?
    “We could have a conversation about that,” says Peterson, “just like I would if you asked me to use a nickname. But there’s a big difference between privately negotiated modes of address and legislatively demanded, compelled speech.”
    That sounds like a reasonable, libertarian take on the issue, but for comments like that, Peterson is called a “bigot,” “Hitler,” “transphobic piece of s—t.”
    “That it has to do with transgender people is virtually irrelevant,” replies Peterson. “The issue is compelled speech.”

    ,,,something you won’t hear from a trumpski cult 45er,,,
    ,,,Last night, I rode the greyhound bus from Bakersfield to Las Vegas to visit family.
    When we got to the California/Nevada state line, as always, there’s a checkpoint.
    (This checkpoint USED to be one where they made sure you weren’t carrying fruits into California, bc of an invasive fruit fly species).
    Anyway…
    The bus driver makes an announcement: “We are being boarded by Border Patrol. Please be prepared to show your documentation upon request”.
    WAIT. WHAT THE FUCK?
    So you know I’m ready to act an ASS.
    I stand up and say LOUDLY:
    THIS IS A VIOLATION OF YOUR 4TH AMENDMENT RIGHTS. YOU DON’T HAVE TO SHOW THEM SHIT!!! This is illegal. We are not within 100 miles of an international border so that have NO authority to ask you for ANYTHING. TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF!
    And, Since my Spanish sucks, I Google translated how to say that in Spanish and repeated myself:
    Esto es una violación de los derechos de su cuarta enmienda. ¡No tienes que mostrarles nada! Esto es ilegal No cumples, y no tengas miedo. Están equivocados, y no dejaremos pasar esto
    The lady next to me did not speak English. She looked terrified. I reassured her that I had her back.
    The agents get on. Proceed to announce that they are about to start asking for “documentation” from people.
    I Stand up and yell “I’m not showing you shit! I’m not driving this bus, so you have NO RIGHT to ask me for anything! And the rest of you guys don’t have to show them anything, either! This is harassment and racial profiling! Don’t show them a gotdamn thing! We are not within 100 miles of a border so they have NO LEGAL RIGHT or jurisdiction here! GOOGLE IT!”
    The agents start to look exasperated, because they can see I’m willing to act a WHOLE DONKEY. One of them said “Fine. We can see that you’re a citizen because of your filthy mouth”. And then they just said “go ahead” to the bus driver and got off.

    Well, it’s conspiracy theory time.
    1) I have always associated jon smith as an advent supporter/friend/soul mate defender of Steve. But, when I found out Steve is married, that threw the idea of jon being Steve’s butt boy out the window.
    2) Then there is Robert Cross with his feline side, the Chico State connection, and one unhinged Campbell’s Soup. A link? Boy, Bobbie sure got defensive when someone joked that Mary Cross, an Auburn Fire Captain, got busted for DUI here and Bobbie threaten to sue for slander. Mary is only 50. What ever happened to that DUI case? Anyway….Bobbie and Linda went to bed, Linda rolled over and Bobbie is dead.
    3). Third and in light of today’s anticipated IG report. We assume that Lisa and Peter are lovers. Any proof? Suppose the “lover story” is part of the Ministry of Disinformation fake news to give “lover cover” less weight to a deeper more planned, more evil workings of the silent coup. Lisa and Bruce G. Ohr (whose wife worked for Fusion GPS on “the dossier” and has been demoted) worked hand in hand. Ohr’s title was Associate Deputy Attorney General, whose office was four doors down from his boss, one Deputy Attorney Rod Rosenstein. Then there is Lisa’s constant meeting with Andy, one Andy McCabe who was fired publicly, much to jon smith’s dismay.
    Then there is Peter. Peter, Peter, Peter. Interviewed Flynn, went flying off to England to talk with the mole, got placed on Meuller’s team. Peter telling Lisa what to do, Lisa telling Peter what’s going on in the offices and meetings. Very well cordinated. More than mere lovers?? More than just pillow talk? A day by day, sometimes hour by hour, running narrative of the silent coup. The best time line by far.
    I think we need to probe the depths of Lisa’s contact with peter and we need to investigate the depths of Peter’s probe with Lisa. Lovers? Let’s see the evidence stand up in court. More must be revealed.
    What ever happened to Lisa? We know Peter is over at HR, pouring through personnel files.
