Geraldo may have apologized for his tweets supporting Matt Lauer, but he has yet to apologize for this.” Midler ended her message with #Me Too.</i><br /><br />Yesterday, Rivera drew outrage when he tweeted about Lauer, “News is a flirty business & it seems like [the] current epidemic of #SexHarassmentAllegations may be criminalizing courtship & conflating it [with] predation.” He added that harassment allegations “shouldn’t be used to get even w bad bosses or hated ex’s.”<br /><br />Rivera’s employer, Fox News, said it was “troubled” by his comments, and Rivera later apologized in a string of tweets, saying, among other things, that he “didn’t sufficiently explain that this is a horrendous problem long hidden.”<br /><br />The controversy led to the viral resurfacing of the Walters-Midler clip, in which Midler calls Rivera a “slimy talk show host” and recounts being interviewed – and groped – by Rivera in the 1970s.<br /><br />“This was when [Rivera] was very, sort of, hot,” Midler tells Walters in the video. “And he and his producer left the crew in the other room, they pushed me into my bathroom, they broke two poppers and pushed them under my nose and proceeded to grope me. Groped me. I did not offer myself up on the altar of Geraldo Rivera. He was, he was unseemly.”<br /><br />Rivera acknowledged the encounter back in ’91, when the seriousness (or lack thereof) given to the subject of sexual harassment can be glimpsed in the title of Rivera’s memoir: Exposing Myself. In it, Rivera wrote about Midler, “We were in the bathroom, preparing for the interview, and at some point I put my hands on her breasts.”<br /><br />Here is Midler’s tweet from earlier this afternoon, with the Walters clip: VIDEO<br /><br />http://deadline.com/2017/11/bette-midler-geraldo-rivera-groping-apology-barbara-walters-1202217685/<br /><br />:oCharltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-84918158482795217092017-11-30T14:36:49.548-05:002017-11-30T14:36:49.548-05:00I like Tillerson.

Pish tosh.
I see the Idaho Spud is stuttering ....<br /><br />Pish tosh.<br /><br />I see the Idaho Spud is stuttering again and well he should be putting up fake news from the national Review.<br /><br />Let's take their objections one by one.<br /><br />1. “Middle-class tax hike.” <br /><br />NR has reworded the argument. The argument wasn't that there were no middle class tax cuts. The argument has always been that it is a scam to identify this tax cut as a 'middle-class tax cut' when the majority of it goes to the top 5-10%. The argument was that any middle class tax cuts amount to trinkets for the natives when compared to the bonanza it will give to corporations and the rich. The argument was that any middle class tax cuts will disappear according to the tax plan but tax cuts to corporations are permanent. The argument that everyone will get a tax cut is specious since some of the people who can least afford it will end up with tax increases.<br /><br />I'll have to wait until Dec. 1 to read the WaPo article NR references but here is the latest <i>Tax Policy Center</i> analysis of the tax plan. Take a look at the chart.<br /><br />http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/feature/analysis-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act<br /><br />2. “Health-care tax hike.”<br /><br />Again 'healthcare tax cuts' is NR's wording. What opponents of the tax bill are saying is that $338 billion is being pulled from Medicaid which mainly aids the poor and disadvantaged in order to fund massive tax cuts for the rich. Likewise, by removing the individual mandate there will be about $139 billion in savings to the federal government which will be used for those tax cuts for the rich. Not even mentioning the 13 million the CBO say will lose their health insurance because of this move, by allowing the young and healthy to opt out of the system CBO estimates it will raise insurance premiums for all Americans by about 10%. Since this out of pocket cost is the direct result of the Trump tax plan, it can rightly be called a tax increase.<br /><br />3. “Tax cuts tilted toward the rich.”<br /><br />The NR argues hey, what's everyone getting so excited about? The rich are paying more taxes than anyone else anyway. Even the most progressive plan would mean the rich are going to get more money. Chill.<br /><br />Bushwa. <br /><br />See the chart in the link above.<br /><br />There is a difference between 'tax reform' and 'tax cuts'. The GOP plan is simply a tax cut, one geared overwhelmingly to cuts for the rich. If the GOP and Trump want to push this thing through the least we can demand is that they call it what it is, "A Huuuuge Tax Cut for the Rich". Don't call it a middle-class tax cut. To claim that is an insult to 99% of the American people and it shows the basic dishonesty of Trump and the GOP.<br /><br />4. “Blows up the deficit.”<br /><br />NR's basic argument is that it is hypocritical to worry about deficits because they keep going up anyway.<br /><br />What nonsense. And NR is supposed to be a conservative publication. They are not conservative, they are a right wing rag, an apologists for the GOP.<br /><br />This bill doesn't just increase the deficit. It explodes it. At a time when the economy is moving along steadily and interest rates are low we should be holding the line on the deficit if not reducing it. Instead the GOP wants to bust it wide open. That is where the hypocrisy lies given the words they have spouted for years about fiscal responsibility.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-63512044132211513122017-11-30T14:05:57.353-05:002017-11-30T14:05:57.353-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-19453739621132298202017-11-30T13:53:55.064-05:002017-11-30T13:53:55.064-05:00Tillerson reported to be leaving the first of the ...Tillerson reported to be leaving the first of the year.<br /><br />Pompeo may take his place.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-21325065223122260852017-11-30T13:50:47.988-05:002017-11-30T13:50:47.988-05:00North Korea says it's not interested in diplom...North Korea says it's not interested in diplomacy.<br /><br />CNNCharltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-87623302338353966132017-11-30T12:26:17.316-05:002017-11-30T12:26:17.316-05:00Four Misleading Arguments against the Tax-Reform B...<b>Four Misleading Arguments against the Tax-Reform Bills</b><br /><br />(Photo: Outline205/Dreamstime) <br /><br />by BRIAN RIEDL November 29, 2017 4:50 PM @BRIAN_RIEDL <br /><br /><i>The legislation isn’t perfect, but its critics aren’t telling the truth.</i><br /><br />Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/454167/tax-reform-four-misleading-argumentsBrian Riedlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-38051813055105504212017-11-30T12:23:01.075-05:002017-11-30T12:23:01.075-05:00Four Misleading Arguments against the Tax-Reform B...<b>Four Misleading Arguments against the Tax-Reform Bills</b><br /><br />(Photo: Outline205/Dreamstime) <br /><br />by BRIAN RIEDL November 29, 2017 4:50 PM @BRIAN_RIEDL <br /><br /><i>The legislation isn’t perfect, but its critics aren’t telling the truth.</i><br /><br />Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/454167/tax-reform-four-misleading-argumentsBrian Riedlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-45795893492457135672017-11-30T12:00:18.388-05:002017-11-30T12:00:18.388-05:00QI clients scored an average yearly loss of 11.8%,...QI clients scored an average yearly loss of 11.8%, according to the Wall Street Urinal, which Quirk always claimed "wasn't that bad in a down market what with our low 3% trading fee".<br /><br />Many clients felt otherwise and finally sued, claiming they had been losing nearly 15%/year counting the 'trading fee', for forever.<br /><br />Their case ended up in bankruptcy court and the clients recovered zero, and as a final slap had to pay their lawyers, too, who had fooled them into signing onto an hourly rate rather than a contingency.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-44461453845452888142017-11-30T11:43:05.388-05:002017-11-30T11:43:05.388-05:00Quirk Investments had a deeply flawed advertising ...<i>Quirk Investments</i> had a deeply flawed advertising slogan which many analysts blamed for its demise:<br /><br /><b>Quirk Investments -That's QI, NOT IQ !</b><br /><br />that had a memorable little jingle to it that I've forgotten.<br /><br />Other analysts, however, always maintained it was just shitty little company.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-49581408731828921322017-11-30T11:35:55.856-05:002017-11-30T11:35:55.856-05:00(since Quirk Investiments went tits up Quirk has b...(since <i>Quirk Investiments</i> went tits up Quirk has been wanting to punish the entire country)Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-49758356342147176472017-11-30T11:33:44.845-05:002017-11-30T11:33:44.845-05:00Morning Joke Scarborough says he's demented, b...<i>Morning Joke</i> Scarborough says he's demented, beginning Alzheimer's, impeach now.<br /><br />'Mika' made him say it.<br /><br />She wears the pants in the family and Joke's the receptive.<br /><br />Some people actually watch these two geese on a daily basis, believe it or not.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-12308530396781900202017-11-30T11:29:06.149-05:002017-11-30T11:29:06.149-05:00DRUDGE<b>DRUDGE</b>Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-63417597046581895572017-11-30T11:28:19.885-05:002017-11-30T11:28:19.885-05:00MAGA !
