On October 6, Helen Donahue, who previously worked as a social media editor for Vice and also wrote for the website, posted photos of bruises on her upper body, neck, and face to Twitter. “sux men in media hate women yet write abt feminism n masquerade as allies but its sadder this happens,” she wrote. “2015 i screamed @ my own reflection.”

Shortly after, another writer named Deirdre Coyle quoted Donahue’s tweet, writing “these bruises came from the same guy who physically forced me to do cocaine during sex.” And yet another woman known on Twitter by her first name, Dilara, quoted Coyle’s tweet, writing: “This is the same guy who choked me at the foot of his stairs until I passed out and then repeatedly punched me in the face.”

Corruption is not exclusive to any party and its not always about sex either. That is handy for the blackmailers tho..

I am shocked that your ever watchful eye missed what has been known for decades.. not. Breitbarf probly never reported on Eastwood's behaviour.. he's conservative after all.. No capital in it

You just can't stay on the subject can you?

Every time leftists are stumped for an answer, they change the subject.

Your source is an IRISH source who is far from America. You couldn't find any reliable, credible American sources to back up your absurd allegations.

The fact remains that the "War on women" is a democrat war. Lunatic Hollywood democrats and lunatic media buffoons carrying water for democrats are the rapists, sexual assaulters and pedophiles who screech loudest about the so called republican war on women.

The Irish are far removed from the United States and have no idea what Eastwood may have or may not have done...at any time. Besides which, this Irish source is from the far left lunatic fringe.

Here's your challenge. Find a credible American source to substantiate the allegations...emphasis on [b]CREDIBLE.

So far, you've ducked, bobbed, weaved and evaded. Hey leftists, what's your problem? Surely, if your allegations are true, you could find credible American sources to back you up.

Movie stars (and movies) probably have a larger influence over Americans than whoever the president is, given that it changes so frequently. It's also easier to distance yourself from somebody that you wholeheartedly disagree with, ideologically, than somebody you may have been watching on-screen for years and maybe identified with some of the characters and emotions they portray.

While a few of the Hollywood elite [like Spielberg] donate 1M to Super Packs- most spend the $2,700 on their chosen candidate.

The upper echelon of donors in elections tends to include more people from finance and energy.

But regardless of industry, the families investing the most in presidential politics overwhelmingly lean right, contributing tens of millions of dollars to support Republican candidates who have pledged to pare regulations; cut taxes on income, capital gains and inheritances; and shrink entitlement programs. While such measures would help protect their own wealth, the donors describe their embrace of them more broadly, as the surest means of promoting economic growth and preserving a system that would allow others to prosper, too.

Republicans are far outpacing Democrats in exploiting the world of “super PACs,” which, unlike candidates’ own campaigns, can raise unlimited sums from any donor, and which have so far amassed the bulk of the money in the election.

The 158 families each contributed $250,000 or more in the campaign through June 30, according to the most recent available Federal Election Commission filings and other data, while an additional 200 families gave more than $100,000. Together, the two groups contributed well over half the money in the presidential election -- the vast majority of it supporting Republicans.

Given how much political influence that Hollywood has on our elections (and don't say that they don't - look at how much money has been thrown at campaigns in the last decade by celebrities) it is really quite alarming. The fact that these stories were either covered up or purposefully "missed" by the media doesn't bode well for the reputation of the media.

People like Weinstein were paying others to squash the stories - and were using Mossad agents to get anything they could on the actresses involved.

I would expect the President to be held to a higher standard than a fictional one. The Republicans had no problem impeaching Bill Clinton over a blow job, and they kept throwing his name around, in response to those of us who didn't want sexual predator Trump in the White House. They don't care, as long as their guy wins. He said himself that he could shoot someone, and they would still support him. The same apparently goes for raping his ex-wife, cheating on her and the others, goodness knows how many times, groping women, forcing himself on them in different ways.

"The Judge has been a candidate in four hotly-contested statewide political contests, twice as a gubernatorial candidate and twice as a candidate for chief justice. He has been a three-time candidate for local office, and he has been a national figure in two ground-breaking, judicial fights over religious liberty and traditional marriage.

If not, it's Judge Roy Moore

If he appears to be a nut job [he is]

He is also a sexual predator.

It reaches back to the 70s, when Moore was 32 and Leigh Corfman was 14. Yes. FOURTEEN YEARS OLD.

It wasn't just Corfman, either. There are four different women all willing to put their stories and names on the record about Moore's predilection for young girls.

Under Alabama law then and now, this conduct is not legal, as the Post notes:

The legal age of consent in Alabama, then and now, is 16. Under Alabama law in 1979, and today, a person who is at least 19 years old who has sexual contact with someone between 12 and 16 years old has committed sexual abuse in the second degree. Sexual contact is defined as touching of sexual or intimate parts. The crime is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail.

The law then and now also includes a section on enticing a child younger than 16 to enter a home with the purpose of proposing sexual intercourse or fondling of sexual and genital parts. That is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Bannon and Breitbart are already ahead of the story, justifying their guy's sexual predatory behavior, while sneering "smear!" at the Washington Post.

In a 2005 interview, Trump talked about walking in on naked contestants -- but that was in response to a discussion about the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, whose contestants are adults. Trump said:

Well, I'll tell you the funniest is that I’ll go backstage before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it. You know, I'm inspecting, I want to make sure that everything is good.

You know, the dresses. ‘Is everyone okay?’ You know, they're standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody okay?’ And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I've been very good.

How will this go down in Alabama? Not sure.
Despite the quote above, Trump won Alabama with 62% of the vote. I suspect these sort of things aren't something the state's Republicans particularly care about. Unless it's a Democrat in which case they would be banging on their Bibles and speaking in tongues.
