    He asked a 15 year old girl to send him naked pictures of herself and to simulate sex acts for his perverse pleasure. That's why it's illegal - as it should be.

    The only smart thing Weiner has said is that he's sick. I agree with him. He's very sick and he deserves what is happening to him.

    I believe after he sexted a picture of his aroused self to someone - while his child was in bed with him - he probably crossed the line into child neglect territory.

    You are either really new to Intranet, naïve or both! One word of advise, if you have young children, for the love of all that's holy, PLEASE do not allow them a cell phone or near a connected PC!

    Yeah Townhall had it out Monday.


    Former Rep. Anthony Weiner has been sentenced to 21 months in federal prison, plus three years of supervised release, for transferring obscene material to a minor. Prosecutors were seeking a two-year sentence. Transferring obscene material to a minor carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.

    Weiner plead guilty to the charge after it was found that he had sent inappropriate messages to a 15-year-old girl who had first contacted him on Twitter. Among other things, Weiner told the high school student that her body was "insane" and sent her various explicit pictures. He was aware of her age, yet continued to contact the teen on various platforms. Weiner sent the girl "thousands" of messages.

    In court, Weiner's lawyers argued for a reduced sentence as he never actually attempted to meet the 15-year-old, and he claimed that the girl wanted to write a book about her experience.

    Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, was one of Clinton's top aides. Abedin has since filed for divorce.

    Weiner was also investigated by child protection agencies when a woman revealed that he had sent her an explicit picture that contained an image of his son.....snip~

    https://townhall.com/tipsheet/chris.../anthony-weiner-sentenced-to-xx-jail-n2385958

    Thus ends the career of this NY Democrat. The Democrats distanced themselves from the Weiner with break neck speed on this one. None came to the Weiners defense. Completely blew the Weiner off. :grin: What say ye?

    "None of it has panned out?" Not sure what "panning out" means for you but quite a bit of it has been confirmed and we're learning more each day while the right-wing desperately tries to distract from the growing body of evidence of a systemic attempt by Russia to interfere in our election.

    What we're learning, if anything, is that there was no collusion between Trump and the Russians. Can't say that about Clinton, they paid her millions.

    You are trying to squirm out of the lie you attempted to create. I refer you to to the definition of 'assumption' by Felix Unger . On the contrary it was Sarah Palin who coined the term 'Lame Stream Media', whereas Limbaugh prefers to use the term 'Drive By Media' for the perfidious 'Main Stream Media'. Your personal attack fails to accomplish your aim. Perhaps you should get up to speed on who said what rather than parrot the lies told to you.

    I don't give a damn about Weiner. He's done and justice was served. What I would like to know more about is Abedin. What kind of a person would marry a slime like Weiner. Their religious backgrounds and culture seem to conflict. Was this a marriage of convenience? Why.

    It matters since Abedin was a close aide for crooked Hillary who we are not done with.

    I wonder who set the marriage up. The Weiner had to know Abedin was more in love with Hillary.

    Considering how many politicians have bounced back from convictions before - I'm thinking Marion Barry, for instance - you can never say with certainty that he's petered out.

    I'm willing to give Huma the benefit of the doubt on this since when they married it might not have been an issue for him yet. Now why she STAYED married to him afterwards is another question. If I was guilty of what Weiner did, my wife would have had me BBQ-ed and she'd own at least half my stuff. I have to admit, that question is a puzzler.

    Good pun! I don't know about that member but I do think he's going to have well deserved butt hurt after and while enjoying the joint.

    1) You said you were wondering why the "LSM" wasn't running the story. It was. Just about every news agency ran the story. So why are you trying to lie? You're not Trump on Twitter; you can't simply run back and delete everything you've said that makes you look bad.

    2) I couldn't give a rat's ass what right-wing blabber mouth coined the term. Also, notice that I said "The LIKES of Rush Limbaugh." Palin is certainly a lot like Limbaugh in a lot of regards.

    I posted the information before 12 PM on Monday Sept. 25th. At that time CNN, CBC, MSNBC and other news organizations had not posted this on the internet or on announced it on TV.
    If as you claim you don't give a rat's ass about what right-wing blabber mouth coined the term, why did you falsely claim that Rush Limbaugh created that phrase? I corrected you. If you can't take corrective criticism that's your problem not mine.

    Who says its the end of his career? Dems hold themselves to lower standards-the only reason they would drop him is if they thought he couldn't win-not because of what he did.
