Makes sense.
Trump thinks it's not wrong to kiss women and grab them by their genitals without approval.

No he just thinks they'll let you if you have money. For many women that's not incorrect. 

It's simpler than that. It's called "being a fucking creepy asshole".

Alright, but the one who did it still lost his job.  And the fact that they both lost their jobs instantly proves my point.  Those kinds of jokes aren't tolerated anywhere but in sealed locker rooms where only your friends can hear them.  

or in many comedy clubs around the world...

Do you really not see the difference between someone clearly making a joke in a setting designed specifically for making jokes, and talking about how you like to sexually harass women to someone you barely know?



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Bullshit.

They were not concerned about this during the what, 15 years, that it's been going on? His former boss Roger Ailes, did the same, and probably worse for many years, and was removed from the network just around a year ago when it came out to the public.

Fox and Ailes knew about O'Reilly's sexual harassment alegations for many years. It wasn't until companies started pulling adds from the channel and they started losing millions because of this that they fired him. It was the same with Ailes.

Reminds me of the BBC over here in the UK.

So if you tell the same joke to one person, you are guilty of it? Saying something isnt the same as doing it. If it is then someone should question Robert De Niro for wanting to punch Trump in the face. Its illegal to punch the president in the face after all. So if Trump hasnt done it, then he must have been joking.

It doesnt matter if "you hear worse" or "have seen worse". That serves a no basis for anything because it still doesnt make it any less wrong. Every person has to be judged on his own.

Well I think releasing secret recordings of private conversations is wrong, but what do I know...

Do you believe we should incarcerate people who leak sensible information instead of those whose crimes come out to the light thanks to those who leaked them?

Bill O’Reilly seems to be an awful person.

Awhile back, my mom asked me to look him up because her husband is a fan and they heard some negative things about him. After I showed her all the sexual assault allegations and especially the things his daughter said about him, I could tell she wasn't thrilled. It was some ugly, ugly stuff and he came across as extremely arrogant and vicious.

Personally, I look forward to the conspiracy theories that are going to be manufactured in order to write over his actions and turn this into a political propaganda piece. The puppets will dance when their masters command.

If it contain evidence of crimes, then no. There were no evidence of crime in the converstaion with Trump though.

“After a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the company and Bill O’Reilly have agreed that Bill O’Reilly will not be returning to the Fox News Channel,” 21st Century Fox, Fox News’s parent company, said in a statement.

Bullshit.

It's probably similar to the Bill Cosby stuff. There were murmurings about his past for a while, but it never really blew up until a lot of the stories went public, and when pressure mounted, companies ditched Cosby like the plague. He had a deal with NBC for a new show I believe, now TV stations won't even air re-runs of the Cosby Show from the 80s, lol. 

No corporate entity wants to be associated with him.

Sure.. when you aren't wearing A MICROPHONE.

People didn't sneak up and hide an iphone in his pocket. Despite all his wild claims people didn't bug his office. He made that statement while wearing a damn Microphone.

That is like someone yelling it out at a baseball game.

So? They werent on air, so he probably thought they werent recording. Not really like yelling it to a bunch of people now is it?
