RUSSELL BRAND….This is what judge Bennathan said to him…. “About 20-years ago you were becoming famous…..you were clever…..and in many people’s eyes, funny and charismatic….you also became a sexual predator…..whatever a women wears….wherever they go…..indeed whatever they drink…..they retain the right to say no”….that’s it….one sentence…..that’s how simple consent is…..10-years Russ….rapist are not the most popular inmates….globally….don’t drop the soap..…word on the street is….Russ is allegedly fearing he will be targeted in prison following the court verdict…..a woman commented on this….. “Men fear prison because they know other men don’t stop raping…..just because there are no women around….I don’t wish that experience on anyone….but if even just imagining being treated the way he treated women is what it takes for him to begin to realize the severity of his actions…..then the justice system is doing what it’s supposed to do”…….and….
FEMINIST NEWS……Shared something I agree with…….
“Every woman knows the questions….. “What were you wearing?…..Why did you go back to his place?….How much had you had to drink?
They’re asked in police stations…..in courtrooms……on podcasts and at family dinners.
They’re asked as if the answers could cancel out a no.
Today a judge in London answered all of them at once…..while sentencing a man who used to be one of the most famous comedians in Britain…..to more than ten years in prison….it shouldn’t be remarkable to hear that from the bench…..it is, because so many women have heard the opposite from people who should have known better…..officers who didn’t file the report…..lawyers who made the dress the circumstance…..and commentators with millions of followers who read a woman’s worst night back to her as a confession…..consent isn’t a dress code….it isn’t a curfew or a drink limit…..it’s a question…..and the answer belongs to a woman alone.
If you or someone you know has experienced sexual violence…..RAINN is here: 800-656-HOPE
YOU EVER WONDER WHY…..A Jewish person can grow a beard to practice his faith….but when a Muslim does the same…he is labelled an extremist?…..a Nun can cover herself from head to toe….to devote herself to God….but when a Muslim woman does the same….she’s considered oppressed?….when a person defends his land….he is labelled a hero….but when a Muslim defends his land….he is labelled a terrorist?
PETE HEGSETH…..Before “STUPID” started his illegal war in Iran…..the United States had four Navy ports in the Middle East….America now has “Zero”….that was why sailors haven’t had shore leave….America also had 14 military bases….they now have two….satellite images showed 288 structures destroyed…..barracks, hangars, warehouses, fuel facilities, aircraft, radar equipment, communication systems, air-defense equipment…..the damage is in the trillions of dollars……that’s what Pee-t and the Pentagon are hiding……and…..
A US ARMY…..Sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier……reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, his wife, and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday….after some in the group laughed……and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony…..The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is one of the most sacred war memorials in the US……marking the final resting place of an unknown soldier who was killed in World War I…..this really shows you where we are….imagine that the guard at the Tomb if the Unknown Soldiers at Arlington……has to stop what he’s doing and yell at the party that contains the secretary of defense……because they don’t know how to act in a cemetery…..and no wonder “STUPID” doesn’t want to fire him…..he fits right in.
YIN/YANG…..
Anthony Bourdain: Rich people jog past discount stores in two-hundred-dollar leggings….and sneer at working folks for being overweight….try feeding three hungry kids on forty bucks a week…..when fresh broccoli cost six dollars….and a box of chemical macaroni cost eighty cents
George Orwell: The poor don’t eat cheap sugar and white flour….because they lack moral character….they eat it because of a starved belly demands…..the quickest, cheapest, fulness available….and food cartels engineered poison….to be cheaper than a single honest apple from an orchard.
SPAGHETTIFIED….That’s my new favorite word…..I had no idea if even existed until I ran across it being used in a sentence…. “If you fall into a black hole….you will be spaghettified”…and you imagined how you would look….didn’t ‘cha?
A PETITION….To deport Nicki Minaj to Trinidad….has gathered more than 100,000 signatures….cool with me….she’s not a citizen of the United States…..she can take her rapist daddy and brother with her….and no one is bumping her music anyway…..git!
