If it's true that investigations of Mr. Weinstein have started, the investigating bodies ought to offer him some sort of plea deal in exchange for his exposure of other crimes that he may know and have evidence of - just like they might with a mobster.

I wonder if this is happening because he is “past his prime” and his company had financial problems.

(1) in their ideal world, Hollywood is a model of what the left would like this country to be; a world in which the rich, elites have control over and manipulate every aspect of our lives.

(2) socialism/communism is a natural consequence of their belief in (1); one only needs to look at the Venezuelan model to see what happens if they succeed and to a certain degree, folks like Weinstein have successfully implemented the Venezuelan model within the Hollywood sphere.

What this basically means in practical terms is this:

Once the government takes over control of every aspect of your life, the "Weinstein's" of the bureaucracy can force anyone to please them in order to maintain their allotted government disbursements.

The "casting couch" becomes universal if you want your handout.

All of life is nothing more than the repetition of ninth grade over and over again - Weinstein was just one of the cool-kids in-crowd - no more, no less.......

Weinstein was just livin' the dream, baby. /s

Every Leftist dreams of achieving that kind of power over the proles - droit de seigneur in exchange for free healthcare and a monthly check.
