Al Franken 'Greatest Groper' billboard stuns L.A. commuters

Los Angeles commuters were distracted from their iPads and cellphones on their way to work by a giant billboard that was altered to draw attention to the Sen. Al Franken sex scandal.

California street artist, Sabo, has gone after liberal politicians and Hollywood celebrities for years. Usually, he goes small--a poster-size piece at a bus stand or places with a lot of foot traffic. But his latest work involves a billboard for the upcoming film "The Greatest Showman." 

It's yooge!

"This hit cost me about $1,000 out of pocket," he tweeted Thursday morning. "I obviously can't crowd fund these projects so donations via [my main] site at http://www.unsavoryagents.com are much appreciated."

Now the question remains: will President Trump send him the dough anonymously or publicly?

The billboard shows Franken in his signature lecherous pose next to a circus performer for actor Hugh Jackman's flick about P.T. Barnum's rise to fame. You know Barnum, he said something like: "For every buck there is a schm*ck."

Franken is a Minnesota Democrat who, unlike Democrats John Conyers and Ruben Kihuen is not being told to resign by Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi and others. 

Franken issued a very carefully worded apology to a gaggle of women last month for grabbing their asses while smiling happily into the camera which, in one photo, actually proved he was groping a woman--in that case it was radio host Leeann Tweeden.

"I know that I am going to have to be much more conscious when in these circumstances, much more careful, much more sensitive and that will not happen again going forward," Franken said, speaking as if he unconsciously and accidentally allowed his hand to inadvertently grab the buttocks of multiple women who came forward, and likely more who did not.

His hands need a good talking to.

He refuses to resign.


House Hypocrite "Dancing Hands" calls for another Dem. to Resign over allegations

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (whose native American name is "Dancing Hands") now wants Nevada Democratic congressman to resign over sexual allegations, but tomorrow she may defend him. 

You never know which way the wind blows with Pelosi, but blow it does.

According to BuzzFeed News, a female finance director for Rep. Ruben Kihuen's 2016 election campaign (you can also substitute an "r" for the "l" in Ruben's case) quit her job after he allegedly made repeated sexual moves toward her.

Pelosi, who is also the House Minority Hypocrite as attested to when she first defended John Conyers and called him an "icon," then kicked him under the Prius when the pressure was on, wrote: 
"Across the nation, in every industry, brave women are coming forward to share stories of harassment that must be heard."

The crap-fest continued: 
"In Congress, no one should face sexual harassment in order to work in an office or in a campaign. The young woman's documented account is convincing, and I commend her for the courage it took to come forward.
"In light of these upsetting allegations, Congressman Kihuen should resign."

Kihuen was thought to be an up and comer for the party of Bull Connor and was able to flip a district in Nevada in the last election cycle. He is also a DREAMer, which means his parents brought him here illegally and he was able to obtain citizenship.


Kihuen allegedly harassed the former staffer by asking her for dates and twice touching her thigh with lust in his eye.

After the BussFeed report came out, U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Lujan (D.- NM) chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee issued a statement on Friday: "Congressman Kihuen should resign," he wrote, and said House members and candidates need to be held to the highest standard, and anyone guilty of sexual harassment or assault should not hold elected office.

He was not kidding.

Conyers has yet another victim come forward

John Conyers, Roy Moore, Al Franken and the rest of those who have been accused of sexual misconduct by believable women who have no axe to grind are allegedly horrible people.

But Conyers specifically, has a long history of controversy.

In 1998 Rep. Conyers allegedly put his hands on a female staffer in the passenger seat of the car he was driving. She stated on Tuesday that she was only "saved" from the unwanted groping when the cops pulled him over for driving "erratically."

This is just one more example in a long history of Conyers controversy that dates back many years.

Conyers' history of sexual misconduct was well-known, while some is now bubbling to the surface like flatulence in a bathtub. This raises serious questions about the old guy's political future and makes a great case for term limits. Conyers is the longest-serving sitting House member and refuses to resign. 

He said that if he gave up his day job, he wouldn't know what to do with his hands.

Conyers denies these allegations and the moon landing.

Weinstein case: police likely to join forces

Photo: Steve Crisp for Reuters
In New York, Los Angeles and London, authorities are pursuing criminal cases against sleazeball producer Harvey Weinstein as he faces a boatload of sexual misconduct accusations.

Detectives in those cities are likely to team up in a collaborative effort to build evidence and determine whether he can be arrested and charged for criminal activity, experts believe.

In the last six weeks, criminal cases have been opened as the scum-muffin faces lawsuits on both sides of the Pond.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) detectives interviewed witnesses in preparation for presenting a case to the DA's office, who will decide whether to press criminal charges based on the accusations that Weinstein raped an anonymous actress in a Beverly Hills hotel in 2013, according to David Ring, the attorney for the alleged victim.

There are also "multiple complaints involving Harvey Weinstein," the LAPD reported and they are under investigation.

Ring said that "The LAPD is actively investigating [the alleged victim's] case. It's my understanding that they are also coordinating their efforts with other jurisdictions, like New York City."

The New York Police Department (NYPD) is investigating rape complaints by two alleged victims who went public: Pas de la Huerta and Lucia Evans.

Detectives previously looked into Weinstein's conduct but the office of the New York DA, Cyrus Vance Jr., allowed him to 'walk' saying that there wasn't enough evidence to charge him at the time. 

Of course, Vance Sr. was a Democrat who had pushed for closer ties with the then Soviet Union and was a general screw-up. When the Russians invaded Afghanistan on Dec. 27, 1979, he opposed what he called "visceral anti-Sovietism." When he tried to secretly negotiate a solution to the Iran hostage crisis with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini using the PLO as intermediary, it failed badly.

Vance died in January 2002 from pneumonia and the complication of Alzheimer's disease at the age of 84. 

Now his son is carrying on in the same liberal tradition.

In 2015, Italian model Ambra Battilana Gutierrez wore a police wire that recorded her pleading with Weinstein to stop trying to force and threaten her into going into his hotel room. He also apologized in an earlier incident, as per the New Yorker.

Following the decision not to charge Weinstein in connection with her case, Gutierrez signed an agreement in which Weinstein paid her $1 million.

A New York attorney, Jeanne Christensen, who isn't involved in the NYPD case said that "There is a lot of pressure on here because they [referring to the NYPD] are accused of giving Weinstein a pass [in 2015]. A lot of political pressure. But by all indications, they are taking the case very seriously.

Christensen is a partner at Wigdor Law, a New York firm that often represents sexual assault or harassment victims, especially cases involving employment. It was she who said that it's likely investigators in different cities are sharing information.

The NYPD and a team from the New York DA's office led by a senior sex crimes prosecutor are working in conjunction on the case, Vance spokeswoman Joan Vollero said. She declined further comment. 

The NYPD refused further comment after saying earlier this month that they had "an actual case here."

Weinstein, like Al Franken, John Conyers, Roy Moore, Dustin Hoffman, Kevin Spacey, Ben Affleck, Chris Savino, Roy Price, Mark Halperin, Michael Oreskes, Lockhart Steele and others, have denied the allegations.

Most of these people, like Franken, have told the public how they feel, rather than actually apologizing to their alleged victims. The public does not care a fig about how Franken and the rest of them feel.

In London, police are investigating cases involving three women.

Christensen said that in alleged assault cases involving alcohol, or that have happened years ago, it's more difficult to prove the case. "The brain's natural defense is to block things out about what happened and if you spent some time where you never talked about it, it gets muddier," she said.

"A lot of women have come forward and they are not recalling in sufficient detail what the prosecution would need--and that's what it comes down to when you are having to prove a case, that's just how the law works."

Christensen said that the sheer number of complaints against Weinstein will be much more easily introduced in civil cases where rules regarding evidence involving a defendant's character and standard of proof are less stringent than in a criminal case.

UK lawyer Jill Greenfield is expected to file civil lawsuits on behalf of a number of women demanding settlements.

Actress Dominique Huett filed the first civil suit against Weinstein in early October. She is claiming $5 million in Los Angeles superior court, alleging the Weinstein Company "aided and abetted" the scumwad in "repeated acts of sexual misconduct."

The fat pig is going down!

Perhaps . . . perhaps not.

BREAKING: Conyers gets tagged by another woman

The story broke yesterday--Dem. Rep. John Conyers was accused of sexual harassment back in 2015 when he settled a harassment suit. According to affidavits, Conyers had paid taxpayer money to fly women in Washington D.C. to meet with him in hotel rooms. It is highly unlikely that he met the women there to discuss politics or play checkers. The related documents were initially provided by Mike Cernovich to BuzzFeed News.

Cernovich is an independent journalist and tweeted Sunday: "Ranking Democrat on major committee accused of several harassment by multiple women. Huge scandal. Developing . . . " he tweeted.

BuzzFeed reported: 
Michigan Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat and the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives, settled a wrongful dismissal complaint in 2015 with a former employee who alleged she was fired because she would not "succumb to [his] sexual advances."
The documents from the complaint include 4 signed affidavits, 3 of them notarized, from former staff members who allege that Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sexual favors, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public. Four people involved with the case verified the authenticity of the documents.

It was also reported by BuzzFeed that staffers were given the task of flying women in for Conyers using Congressional resources. One affidavit from a former female employee states she was tasked with flying in women for Conyers.

"One of my duties while working for Rep. Conyers was to keep a list of women that I assume he was having affairs with and call them at his request and, if necessary, have them flown in using Congressional resources," her affidavit said.

Conyers' victims were paid a settlement in exchange for their silence out of taxpayer money.

Just as an aside, Conyers' wife is also no angel. As the former Detroit City Council President, Monica Conyers was sentenced to 37 months in prison for bribery charges in March 2010.

Amazingly, as this post was being written, another woman came forward with more allegations about Conyers sexual misconduct. She is a former staffer who decided to abandon her settlement talks in order to come forward.
