And Let's not forget about the other Deplorables

They're fooling themselves if they think that Junior Murdoch is ever going to let them run off with the family money.

Meanwhile, they have to (or at least, may have to) allow Rupert inside their bodies.

[shudder]

 

[KaraBulut]

Tsk.
These women keep marrying Rupert figuring that he's old and will die and they'll inherit a lot of money. But he may never die (he's probably made a pact with the Devil), and at some point, like Wendi Deng, they can't stand it anymore and leave. Many of them, at least, have sense enough to bail out before they tie the knot.

Honestly: if I got 2 houses and $305 million for a few encounters with a limp, wrinkly 90 year-old Aussie dick...

Most of us have done worse, for less.

Fair enough ...

I suppose even I would let him fuck me for that.

 

[TX-Beau]

Is that like Mick Jagger Jeri Hall?

 

[rareboy]

What? You didn't know that Murdoch was a star fucker?

At 95 that will only consist of the dreaded taffy pull.

That's an ego thing on his part, and gold-digging ho on her part. I wonder which one of the sons or staff she's actually fucking.

I had no idea. That had to be a letdown after Jagger, who may be fugly, but gave off seriously kinky try-anything vibes.

Wife #4 for Murdoch.

Ms Hall learned a lesson. She got a ring this time. She gave Jagger 20 years and produced 4 children with him but never married him, at least in the eyes of the Church of England and the legal system in the UK.

In addition to the ring, she got six years with Murdoch's credit cards when she was in her 50s and she got $300 million in the divorce. That's the wisdom that comes with age.

Uh oh. More troubles for Fox in their suit from Dominion:

https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/21/media/fox-news-producer-lawsuit/index.html

The Delaware lawsuit alleged that the “concerted efforts and actions” from Fox’s legal team ultimately caused Grossberg to testify in a way that portrayed the facts “in a false light” in order to “shift culpability” away from senior Fox News executives and “away from Fox Corporation.” ...

Grossberg, who indicated she was passed over for a top job on Bartiromo’s show because the network preferred it be filled by a male, said Fox News executives referred to the “Sunday Mornings Futures” host as a “crazy b**ch” and “menopausal.”

When she began work on Carlson’s show, Grossberg said the environment was horrific. On her first day, she said she learned the show’s workspace was decorated with large photos of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “in a plunging bathing suit revealing her cleavage.”

“Grossberg was mortified by what she was witnessing and began to experience a sinking feeling in her stomach as it became apparent how pervasive the misogyny and drive to embarrass and objectify women was among the male staff at [‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’],” the lawsuit filed in New York said.

The lawsuit continued to describe a culture at Carlson’s program in which women were subjected to crude terms and in which jokes about Jewish people were made out in the open. Grossberg named Carlson and members of his staff in the lawsuit filed in New York.

There should be the ability to eject any reporter in contravention of rules of order and respect from the White House briefing room.

That was just embarrassing.

It’s about time the American public became more familiar with right-wing billionaire Guo Wengui, a fugitive wanted by the Chinese government who’s been known to back American conservatives’ antidemocratic efforts.

This guy is poison and not only just because of his business partnership with Steve Bannon and his investment in Gettr....

His arrest may be bad news for the anti-democratic GQP.

Oh, dear. Another one.

Yoohoo. Ron DeSantis. Time to file a bill to ban Christian musicians from performing in public spaces or where children might be present.

Oh dear. Joseph Harding, the Florida State Rep who was the "Don't Say Gay" bill sponsor just pleaded guilty to wire fraud, money laundering and making false statements in connection with Covid-19 relief fraud.

Harding fraudulently obtained more than $150,000 in COVID-19 Small Business Administration loans. He then transferred portions of the money to his personal accounts and used to make a credit card payment.

A former Florida lawmaker pleaded guilty Tuesday to wire fraud, money laundering and making false statements in connection with Covid-19 relief fraud, according to a news release from the Department of Justice.

Harding is scheduled to be sentenced on July 25, the release said.

A wire fraud conviction carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, while money laundering and making false statements carry a maximum of 10 and five years, respectively.

The Florida Republican has drawn the national spotlight before, as a sponsor of the controversial legislation that banned certain instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom that opponents dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law. The legislation officially named the “Parental Rights in Education” law, signed by Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis in March 2022, set off a national firestorm and drew immediate pushback from LGBTQ advocates.

Apparently, he is as dumb as he looks.

 

[rareboy]

From the outset, this guy was poison. He already appears somewhere in this thread for his sponsorship of the bill and definitely called out for this hypocrisy given that he totally is a closet case.

Hope he gets years in the Big House as a bitch for one of the meaner doms in the cellblock.

What an evil, nasty fucker....and they are all out there...hationg on everyone and themselves and committing white collar crimes because they are so angry and impotent.

God...I loathe this POS.

I had thought that was an unfortunate random picture of Rep. Joseph Harding. Turns out he looks like that in just about every picture. Since he's from Florida, I guess it is actually a representative democracy.

GOP donor faces trial on charges of sex trafficking minors

A formerly well-connected Republican donor goes on trial in Minnesota on Tuesday accused of sex trafficking minors

abcnews.go.com

A formerly well-connected Republican donor, accused of plying petite, vulnerable teenage girls with cash, liquor and gifts, goes on trial Tuesday on federal charges of sex trafficking minors.

Anton “Tony” Lazzaro is charged with seven counts involving “commercial sex acts" with five minors ages 15 and 16 in 2020, when he was 30 years old. His indictment touched off a political firestorm that led to the downfall of Jennifer Carnahan as chair of the Republican Party of Minnesota.

His co-defendant, Gisela Castro Medina, who formerly led the College Republicans chapter at the University of St. Thomas, pleaded guilty to two counts last year. She is cooperating with prosecutors and will testify against him. She faces sentencing in August.
