Don't forget that Weiner is a serial on-line predator; this same behavior: -cost him his congressional seat, -cost him a near-certain win as mayor of NYC, and -cost the USA HRC as president. And he reached a plea deal on "friendly" (ie - overwhelmingly democrat) territory; the AUSA had no room within the law to cut Weiner any further breaks. He brought all of this on himself; don't pity him. |
Exactly. Chuck Schumer must feel like a fool for helping Anthony Weiner Head early on. |
The above describes about every man online. Weiner was flirting with women of all ages. I also don't think it cost the USA HRC as president. That was hillary's own doing and the DNC. |
Weiner was sentenced to 21 months in prison.

Nearly 2 years for sexting seems like a lot. This guy got out of jail in 6 weeks for DUI's that resulted in the death of a minor. http://www.gazette.net/stories/041608/montnew195536_32402.shtml |
That guy should have served a hell of lot more time. |
Yes, he should have. And Brock Turner should have served more than 6 months for brutal rape. But these things happen sometimes when rich white defendants are involved. |
That's crazy. I'm sorry for his family, and even for him. He wasn't a "predator." She sought him out, DM'd him, with the goal of a book. The others likewise reached out to him and were all adults. this girl was a girl, but also pursued her teachers, and now, fame. Her parents are beyond despicable. But anyway - the narrative everyone will use now is that he practically raped a bunch of little girls and that is not what happened. |
Did you attend the court proceeding? |
I think Weiner will likely serve 3 months tops |
Nope. But all of this was not only reported, but stated publicly by the girl and her dad. If you think on this climate any other teens went unnoticed by the DA or unreported by the press, I've got a bridge for sale. Here's her I Am Important!!! fame whoring from the fall: https://www.buzzfeed.com/davidmack/heres-an-open-letter-to-james-comey?utm_term=.dtrdD79kZ#.bp5rEK3L6 Here's the first fame grab, with daughter and daddy side by side, including a letter where she indicates she's pursued men before: https://www.google.com/amp/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3790824/amp/Anthony-Weiner-carried-months-long-online-sexual-relationship-troubled-15-year-old-girl-telling-hard-asking-dress-school-girl-outfits-pressing-engage-rape-fantasies.html Here she is on camera bragging about what she did, for a paid interview: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.insideedition.com/headlines/25440-teen-sexted-by-anthony-weiner-reveals-shamed-lawmakers-disgusting-messages-your-body-is-insane/amp My parents wouldn't have pimped me out or supported me being self-aggrandizing after this kind of crap. |
Seems like an appropriate sentence.
I will never forget June, 2011 when media people like Joan Walsh were defending him before he admitted he was lying, but nearly every Democratic party member in Congress was so happy that he might soon be gone. |
THis is about his behavior and you're just oozing with the misogyny? Lovely. Jackass. |
Chuck should publicly apologize for defending his friend, Anthony. |
shows just how strong these types of compulsive urges can be |
