You wouldn't think that someone with an established history of #rape, and paying for back-door #abortions would be clamoring to impose an absurd, and likely unconstitutional ban on #contraception. But, here we are.
Controversial #Trump movie ‘The Apprentice’ depicts him as #rapist
[probably because he is one]
A movie called “The Apprentice” about a young Donald Trump’s rise to power premiered Mon evening at the #Cannes Film Festival, the #film stars Sebastian Stan as Trump & Jeremy Strong, who plays the ruthless lawyer & political fixer Roy Cohn.
“By & large, it is a very dark & chilling origin story.”
As they were making the #film, director #AliAbbasi said he had many people question why he would choose #Trump as his subject matter….
“…there is no nice metaphorical way to deal w/the rising wave of #fascism,” he said. “There’s only the messy way … the way of dealing w/this … on its own terms, on its own level … good people have been quiet for too long … it’s time to make #movies relevant. It’s time to make movies #political again.”
Just in case folk need reminding of Eric Clapton's hugely racist rant in 1976 which he later on drink and drugs. An excuse he also used in 1999 when admitting he raped his then wife Pattie Boyd numerous times in the 70s too.
I censored the slurs but you can probably guess what they are.

Israel on the other hand is systematically and repeatedly using rape against both female and male hostages and prisoners in occupied west bank and Gaza: democracynow.org/2023/12/1/hea…
"Stormy Daniels has reminded us of what a disgusting misogynistic creep Donald Trump is: unable to control his carnal impulses, eager to exploit his power and influence and wealth to procure sex, devoid of shame or guilt or remorse, incapable of fidelity, focused completely on his own sexual satiety, and totally fine about said sexual satiety being generated by violent means."
"A quarter of the way through the 21st century, a predilection towards sexual misconduct and misogyny is practically a BFOQ of a Republican politician. The party of trickle-down economics and tax cuts for gazillionaires has long been the party of plunder. As long as Donald Trump is its leader, it will also be the party of rape."
Leader of the @MissouriGOP, 65yo Rep. Dean Van Schoiack (aka @ColonelDean) is upset that members of the Missouri House have the audacity to try to introduce a bill that won't let him marry a 12yo girl calling it "Interference is my God Given Rights to her fertile, ripe body."
Rid the world of these monsters. Reject fascist republicans. Men speak out against rape of children.
The vote came after it narrowly cleared the AZ House last wk. The bill is expected to be signed by Gov Katie Hobbs.
The 1864 #law, which predates AZ’s statehood, permits #abortion only to save the patient’s life—& provides NO exceptions for survivors of #rape or #incest.
The law also states the age of consent for a “woman” is 10 yrs.
Tate was indicted in June along with his brother Tristan and two Romanian citizens on charges of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women – allegations they have denied.
The court, in a 4-3 ruling, ruled that the judge in the New York County trial prejudiced #Weinstein with improper rulings, including allowing women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case.
The court — the highest court in New York state’s #judicial system — ruled that a #NewTrial must take place.
#NY’s highest court on Thurs overturned Harvey #Weinstein’s 2020 conviction on #felony#SexCrime charges, a stunning reversal in the foundational case of the #MeToo era.
In a 4-3 decision, the #NY Court of Appeals found that the #trial#judge who presided over #HarveyWeinstein’s case had made a crucial mistake, allowing prosecutors to call as #witnesses a series of women who said Weinstein had assaulted them — but whose accusations were not part of the #charges against him.
The overturning of #HarveyWeinstein’s NY #SexCrimes conviction, & the ordering of a new trial, may feel like a sudden, shocking turn. He is a fully disgraced figure: sentenced to long #prison terms in 2 cities, defined by the public testimonies of nearly 100 alleged victims [survivors] whose stories formed the cornerstone of the #MeToo movement. But in #legal terms, his NY conviction was always controversial, & his appeals always stood a chance.
Peter Dutton after Bruce Lehrmann was found to have raped Brittany Higgins in Linda Reynold's office:
"Well, I think Linda Reynolds has absolutely been vindicated".
A special State Dept panel recommended Secretary of State Blinken disqualify multiple Israeli military & police units from receiving US aid after reviewing allegations of serious human rights abuses. But Blinken has failed to act according to current & former officials.
They include reports of extrajudicial killings by the Border Police; an incident in which a battalion gagged, handcuffed & left an elderly Palestinian American man for dead; & that interrogators tortured & raped a teenager who had been accused of throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails.
The recommendations came from a special committee of State Department officials known as the Israel Leahy Vetting Forum. The panel, made up of Middle East & human rights experts, is named for former Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the chief author of 1997 laws that requires the U.S. to cut off assistance to any foreign military or law enforcement units — from battalions of soldiers to police stations — that are credibly accused of flagrant human rights violations.
This is the panel charged with making sure US Law is followed - specifically the Leahy Law. Flat out ignoring US Law is not acceptable, or you are no better than Trump.
