Anthony Weiner is trending on Twitter again

[rusty fender]

and it's because he's sexting again , but this time he's doing it with his young son! Jeebus he's a POS and a detriment to the Clinton campaign

[LenaBaby61]

1. Anthony Weiner is trending on Twitter again.

"And it's because he's sexting again , but this time he's doing it with his young son! Jeebus he's a POS and a detriment to the Clinton campaign."

A friend just emailed me something about this.

Now the press will probably be adding Weiner's sexting exploits to the the NON-Clinton Charity scandal concerning Huma and Wiener's personal lives. It's bad enough crazies on the right have said that Huma is part of the Islamic Brotherhood , but now Weiner's sexting again, but with his son next to him in the bed this time.

IS right.

[TheBlackAdder]

112. It's OK. He's just trying to give away his lollipop to make people like him and vote for him again.

.


I met that guy, over at the MSNBC Studios in NYC.

While he was having make-up applied to appear on the Rachel Maddow show, he called us in to chat with him, as we were sitting in Morning Joe's Green Room (a shared converted broom closet that sits four--stretching your arms, you could practically touch both walls). He started with a canned story about how when he was a young kid he wanted to run for his class office. He rode his bicycle around the block, handing out fliers and talking to the neighborhood kids. When it was election day, he says he lost handily because the other kid gave out lollipops to the class. That taught him a lesson on how to win people over to vote for you.

Wow! Retaining an elementary grade bribery story as a basic tenet of personal politics--amazing!


He's just handing out his lollipop to get some future voters. That's all!


.

[Angel Martin]

135. I don't want to get a "lollipop"

from someone like Anthony Weiner.

[bravenak]

2. I got damn tired of him and his weiner

[still_one]

10. you are right.

[Beakybird]

3. Abedin must immediately file for divorce

Or quit working for Clinton.

[MohRokTah]

4. OFFS!!!! Nice 83rd post!

[philosslayer]

161. Well.... she did....

Do you object?

[phleshdef]

19. And you must immediately delete your account!

[sheshe2]

54. And she is guilty of what?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

79. Exacty right she she! Don't see why the wife should be held responsible for the husband's transgressions...

That's ridiculous... and sexist.

[sheshe2]

117. Thanks, Inabluestate.

Totally agree, it's sexist.

[MADem]

71. No. She should file because she's too good for him, but that has nothing to do with her job.

She's behaved professionally. It's not her fault her husband is a jerk. To suggest that she should need to "quit" is just "off" to me -- that's not how we do it.

[pinboy3niner]

5. Danger, Carlos!

[Dr. Strange]

96. Well played!

Fifteen points to team pinboy3niner.

[KMOD]

6. This has nothing to do with Hillary.

It also has not much to do with Huma. It has to do with him. If all piggy husbands were to suddenly disappear, most women would be single.

[former9thward]

12. Ahh no.

99 % of husbands do not do what he does. What world do you live in?

[Control-Z]

25. Not sure where you got that 99%.

I wouldn't venture to guess what the real number is but I guarantee you are way off. There are a lot of pigs out there. Many have never been caught. And many do far worse than Anthony.

Their behavior has nothing to do with their spouses or their spouses' boss. It has everything to do with them.

[Loki Liesmith]

94. If most shitty wives disappeared

You'd have a lot of single husbands too.

Women aren't some kind of moral angels. To think so is just patronizing.

[cwydro]

74. Dayum, are they that bad?

Glad I'm a gay woman!

[KMOD]

147. lol

[citood]

131. He's a walking security risk.

IOW, he keeps getting caught in compromising situations, for which he could have been blackmailed. Not great if his wife presumably has a security clearance.

In other news, Huma has released a statement and she and Weiner are splitting up.

[Warpy]

152. I think that's an overstatement and unfair to Abedin.

He is, however, locked into compulsive behavior that is now affecting his son and embarrassing his wife. He'll lose them both.

You can, by the way, have a security clearance and not share anything with a spouse. Ask every single married government worker out there, especially the ones in the Pentagon and the CIA.

[citood]

165. I have had a security clearance in the past

And, I have been interviewed when peers needed a clearance.

They obviously exhibit some interest in your friends and family, when applying for the clearance...and there must be a reason for it.

I didn't say he was guaranteed to harm security...I said he was a security risk - and that is no overstatement.

[karynnj]

145. It does put Hillary Clinton is an awkward position even as Abedin has filed for divorce

It would be better for Clinton and likely for Abedin, if in the chaos of her personal life, she left the campaign. At this stage being that high in a campaign is nearly a 24/7 job. Abedin is a distraction at this point -- and likely replaceable in the campaign. It would be better to leave than to force Clinton to have to make a decision on whether to keep her.

Nothing would prevent HRC from giving her a top job in her administration when she wins.

[Nye Bevan]

7. What an embarrassment that creep is. (nt)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. The New York Post has the story.

http://nypost.com/2016/08/28/anthony-weiner-sexted-busty-brunette-while-his-son-was-in-bed-with-him/

WTF is wrong with this guy?

[KMOD]

9. He's a typical idiot man.

Left and Right, men are losing their shit at the prospect of a woman becoming POTUS.

[former9thward]

13. No, he is NOT a typical man

In what bizarre world world you suggest that?

[KMOD]

23. The real world.

[unapatriciated]

64. Well in my real world

My husband is home working over a fifty hour week so I could go and take care of my 40 year old son who was diagnosed with a rare cancer in June. He also dipped into his retirement account to help pay my son's medical bills. And we have been married for ten years so my son was grown before I met him. So no weinet is not a typical man.

[unapatriciated]

62. Agree

I know a few married men, one being mine and no they don't do sexting

[blue neen]

14. Anthony Weiner is an idiot, but I reject your assertion of "He's a typical idiot man".

There's really nothing typical about him, and there are many men who are more than happy to vote for Hillary Clinton. That would include my husband, son, brother-in-law, nephew.

[KMOD]

22. That's great,

but there is no doubt that men are losing their shit over this election.

My own husband, a life long democrat, has made me and my daughters cringe more than once.

Susan Sarandon, and her vagina, same thing.

Sexism, misogyny and bigotry is still alive and well.

I applaud all men who realize the Hillary Clinton is not only the best, but the most reasonable, and most rational choice. But sadly, many men are having a hard time coming to that decision. I see it day and night. It's sad.

[blue neen]

27. It's true that sexism, misogyny, and bigotry are still, unfortunately, very common.

We should not, however, paint with that broad brush by saying things like "typical idiot man".

We don't like it when it's done to us.

As far as "Susan Sarandon, and her vagina, same thing", um, I have no idea what you are referring to there.

[KMOD]

29. Susan seems to believe that women

vote with their vaginas.

She is not only incredibly insulting with her ignorance, she is also incredibly ignorant.

And it sucks for me, because I am a huge Rocky Horror Picture Show fan.

I'll still watch it, but man, she is freaking dumb.

[TipTok]

80. I think some people have an intellectual/ethical stumbling block...

... at voting for someone just because of their gender.

It would be dishonest to say that there aren't people out there who are voting Clinton for that specific reason (gender) and not for policy, experience or their belief in her ability to lead.

I think that's what Sarandon was trying to say.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

139. Ahhh, and there it is

A personal thing.

I truly am sorry for you.

Although last I checked Susan Sarandon is a woman, so I'm not sure why only men are on your radar.

[citood]

132. As a man, I would say we all have our 'inner cad'.

Some of us just control it a lot better than Weiner...because we value relationships, family, jobs, etc. more important than our impulses.

Weiner doesn't - if this were alcohol, he might be defined as an addict.

The rest of us are 'occasional cads', who only screw up every once in a while.

[phleshdef]

16. I'm pretty sure Weiner is a strong Clinton supporter.

And I'm a man that is also happily voting for her in November. The hell you going on about?

[KMOD]

24. What I'm witnessing in real life.

[phleshdef]

46. Wow, okay, super compelling argument for whatever you are getting at (which I'm still unsure about).

[KMOD]

48. My point is that there are still too many men who have

issues with having a woman President.

It shows in the polls, and I see it clearly not only on this message board, but in real life.

To ignore this factor, is pretty damn ignorant.

If Hillary Clinton were a man, she would win in a landslide victory.

[phleshdef]

53. I think she stands a good chance of winning in a landslide victory as a woman.

[TipTok]

81. Is that due to her or the way that the competition shook out?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

140. Could you be any more obvious?

I've seen your posts for months.

C'mon, you're not really a Democrat, are you? Nor a liberal either?

[TipTok]

150. More an observation about polling data...

We've never had two candidates who have such high unfavorability numbers.

I suspect that Hillary will convincingly win but I also wonder if Trump was the greatest gift she ever received.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. I don't think that's true.

Most men don't keep sending women photos of their junk even after they've already damaged their careers and embarrassed their wives for doing exactly that thing. It's very doubtful that Weiner is "a typical idiot man" who is "losing his shit" at the idea of a woman becoming POTUS, since his wife is Hillary's closest aide and AFAIK he's endorsed her. His problem is that he has some sort of weird sex thing going on that is not typical.

[KMOD]

26. You are right in that he is a complete ass,

and not the typical man.


However, the prospect of having a woman as President is sending many like him off the deep end.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. I think Weiner would be texting pics of his weiner

regardless of who was running for president. He's got a problem that has nothing to do with politics. I don't personally know a single man who has "gone off the deep end" on account of Hillary; I suspect most of those who have are inhabiting the stinkier corners of the Internet.

[KMOD]

30. My husband, a life long democrat,

who will vote for Hillary, but he seems to have issues.

Some men are certainly having issues. It's clear as day.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. The fact that your husband has "issues" is an anecdote.

Anecdotes are not data. The men I know do not have "issues" regarding Hillary, but I don't take their attitudes as data either. Nor do I consider the sexual weirdness of Anthony Weiner relevant to the election in any way, except maybe as being very embarrassing for his wife, Hillary's aide.

[KMOD]

39. No, I don't believe that's so.

My husband happens to be an awesome man, but I am sensitive towards subtle clues.

Most men are definitely having issues.

I will agree that most men also think Weiner is an asshole. But that's beside the point.

Even the most ardent men who support Hillary Clinton, show signs of it.

It's ok, because that's how we learn and grow. But to deny it is disingenuous.

Sexism is indeed ingrained in our society. To ignore it is foolish. We will never overcome our ingrained prejudices is we continue to ignore them.

[Wilms]

73. "Most men are definitely having issues."

:cough:

[Warren DeMontague]

75. Some -people- are having issues, thats for sure

...

All sorts.



...



---

But how we get from Hillary hopefully becoming the next POTUS to Weiner doing the exact same weiner dance he did a few years ago, is frankly (see what I did there?) beyond me.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

118. "Most men are definitely having issues."

Now you're just pulling stuff out of your ass. As a feminist, I find your statements embarrassing and deeply sexist. And Anthony Weiner showing off his junk -- again -- has exactly ZERO to do with any "sexism" against HRC or any woman President in general. That you attempted to conflate the two is utterly bizarre.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

142. Wait, your husband IS voting for Hillary, but your still mad at him?

Geez.....

[KMOD]

143. Where did you get that?

I'm not mad at my husband at all.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

144. Uh huh

but there is no doubt that men are losing their shit over this election.

My own husband, a life long democrat, has made me and my daughters cringe more than once.

After reading that you think Weiner did this because he is "losing his shit over a woman president", I can only imagine what you're projecting on to hubby.

[KMOD]

146. Um, no

You have no idea about our relationship, and I'm not about to let some ass on the internet make assumptions about us.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

154. You're the one offering up these tidbits

You're the one who opened the door with some bizarre projection of why a sex addict can't stop himself.

[KMOD]

156. Look, you are not free to comment about my marriage.

I'm pretty sure that would be against the TOS.

You need to step off. My marriage is none of your fucking business.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

158. Why did you bring it up then?

Formosa's Law invoked. Look it up I won't be responding to you any longer.

Have a nice day.

[KMOD]

162. There is a world of diference in my bringing up something

anecdotally, and you making outrageous insinuations.

I can assure you, my husband and I have the exact same thoughts about you.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

164. So your husband knows you use him as a negative example here?

That's fucked up.

[KMOD]

166. Negative example?

No, my husband knows that sexism is ingrained and prevalent.

Once again, keep your projections about my marriage to yourself.

If you want to ask me a question, I will answer, but you are not free to speculate.

You speculating about two people you don't even know is what is fucked up.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

168. And again, I quote.

Post #9 He's a typical idiot man.

Left and Right, men are losing their shit at the prospect of a woman becoming POTUS.

Post#23. The real world.

22. That's great,

but there is no doubt that men are losing their shit over this election.

My own husband, a life long democrat, has made me and my daughters cringe more than once.

Basically, you've used your poor husband as a conduit and yes, A NEGATIVE EXAMPLE to make your idiotic point about Weiner, who has done this TWICE before when Hillary wasn't running, a point you continue to ignore throughout this thread that others have made.



There's only one person looking negative out of all your posts, and it ain't your husband.....

[KMOD]

170. The only reference to my husband

is in post #22.

My husband is well aware that he sometimes says sexist things. Yes, my daughters and I call him out when he does. He doesn't have a problem with that. He's not like other guys who blow it off. He tries to recognize it, and he tries to change. There is nobody who loves my daughters and me more than my husband.

I'll take his opinion of me over yours.

[blue neen]

34. Oh, he went off the deep end, all right, but it has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton's candidacy.

Nothing at all and it never did.

[KMOD]

42. How do you know that?

[blue neen]

60. Anthony Weiner's first sexting scandel was in 2011, during President Obama's first term.

The second scandal was in 2013, during Obama's second term. Hillary wasn't running for President at either of those times.

Stop trying to tie Weiner's sexual proclivities to the prospect of a woman being President. It's ridiculous and beneath someone who is a Clinton supporter such as yourself.

[Zambero]

159. But... But...

Isn't is always the woman's fault?

And not just one woman, but TWO. What did Wiener's wife do to drive him to this desperate behavior? And when did Hillary know something was awry but decided not to intervene to help the poor man?

Somewhere, there must be a concealed email that connects all the critical dots that just got pulled out of the air!

[Warren DeMontague]

45. So you're saying that the prospect of a woman POTUS-even one who his wife has a high placed job with

And who is the head of his own party- is "sending him off the deep end"; to the point of.... Well, doing the exact same fucking thing that he actually did at least once before?

...interesting theory.

[KMOD]

56. It's quite common

[Warren DeMontague]

59. Given that this is the second time that guy has made this exact fuckup?

Yeah, I guess it is.

[JI7]

85. 3rd time

[Warren DeMontague]

92. Good Lord.

[Marr]

121. I expect you draw no distinction between a man who

doesn't think a woman should be president, and a man who doesn't think that particular woman should be president.

One is misogyny, the other is simply political disagreement.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

141. He's done this twice! before long before Hillary ran for President!

LOL, nevermind the fact he's killing his golden ticket.

[tammywammy]

36. This has nothing to do with Hillary.

[KMOD]

40. No, it doesn't.

But some try to make it seem like it does.

[Go Vols]

66. and a good job you are doing of it.

[a la izquierda]

98. You're doing precisely that.

Have you read your own posts?

[JI7]

38. Weiner is a Clinton supporter . Weiner put his OWN at risk and lost what would have been his TWICE

he has a history of doing this.

it's just stupid to claim this has something to do with a woman becoming president.

[KMOD]

41. Weiner's wife Huma Abedin is a Clinton supporter,

Weiner, not so much.

What did he put at risk? His own what?

[JI7]

43. his congressional seat and the Mayor's race which would have been his. WEiner IS a friend of the

Clintons. he was attacking sanders during the primary.

[KMOD]

44. Anthony Weiner is all about Anthony Weiner,

He is nothing like Hillary Clinton.

He's married to Huma Abedin, the relationship with the Clintons ends there.

[JI7]

47. he supported clinton's senate run and bill clinton did the wedding ceremony

so he isn't just the guy married to someone that works for huma.

[KMOD]

49. Huma has been at Hillary's side for ages.

Of course, they would be a part of her wedding.

[JI7]

50. whatever, you didn't even know weiner lost his congressional seat and the mayor's race over sexting

[KMOD]

51. uh, yes I did.

But that has nothing to do with Hillary or Huma.

Anthony can go eff himself, as far as I'm concerned.

[JI7]

58. do you think what Weiner did is worse than Clinton with Lewinsky and Flowers ?

do you think Bill clinton did what he did so he could ruin his wife's future political career ?

[unapatriciated]

65. Bingo

[Kingofalldems]

97. So should Hillary drop out?

[JI7]

134. no my point was that weiner didn't sext because he wanted to hurt Hillary

[Zambero]

157. Yes, since it is always the woman's fault

In this instance it's the woman who knows the woman who is married to the guy that did the thing. So there are actually two women to blame!

[Hekate]

69. I have to disagree. I hope perspective returns after a good night's sleep.

[TipTok]

78. Sensing some projection there...

[Orrex]

83. Can you provide an example of a typical idiot woman for comparison?

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

99. A woman who will be humiliated again and again

and still stay with the creep?

One public embarrassment? Go to marriage counseling and best wishes.

Three public embarrassments? Get the fuck out of there!

Something is wrong with any woman who takes this shit again and again when it's obvious she can live independently and support herself.

I hope Huma leaves him this time. She deserves better and so does her son!

[smirkymonkey]

115. I can't believe she is still with the guy.

Have some self respect!

[whathehell]

87. No, he's not...Weiner clearly has a particular problem. n/t

[Loki Liesmith]

95. Nice sexism you got there

[Dustlawyer]

108. Generalize much?

[jmg257]

133. HUH - what does some married ass, who obviously isn't that bright, being a pervert have to do with

Hillary becoming president?

Some clown gets off on sexting, and that relates to "men can't handle a woman president" how??

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

138. Wait, what?

You think Anthony Weiner isn't voting for Hillary?

[Monk06]

15. It's the New Jerk Post for criminy sake Do you think Huma and Tony are going to respond this

two months before the ballot drops?

Get real

It may be a hack or not but responding to it would be a gold mine for the RW blogverse not to mention FUCKS NOUS

Notice Hil is lying low lately

She's rope a doping til the last four weeks letting Trump chop holes in his lifeboat and then she going to hit the last 100 meters sprinting

As far as Boney Tony goes he's an attractive. vain but insecure guy going through a midlife crisis but he deals with it by showing his dick rather than buying the little red sports car

Not exactly politically important

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. The Post is a rather revolting tabloid,

but might the story be true nevertheless?

[Nye Bevan]

31. Given Weiner's well-documented cock-tweeting history,

it's reasonable to say that this story is not outside the bounds of probability.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

35. I'm assuming it's true.

[Monk06]

52. Maybe so but why care or comment eight weeks before the most important election of the last

forty years

It is one big nothin for me on the scale of what is important in the next two months and the decade that follows

For Wiener or Abedin to comment on any of this would play into the hands of the Brietbart, Limpballs internet circle jerk

No need If true it is less than not at all important

And if you question my judgment I have one word for you BENGHAZI !!!

[cwydro]

111. Attractive? Ick.

He's a weird looking dude in my book.

Repulsive.

[Monk06]

136. Well attractive in a Madmen downtown NY sort of way

[ForgoTheConsequence]

129. Looks like you were wrong.

Hillary Clinton Aide Huma Abedin Says She Is Leaving Husband Anthony Weiner After Latest Sexting Revelation

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-29/ap-newsalert-hillary-clinton-aide-huma-abedin-says-she-is-leaving-husband-anthony-weiner-after-latest-sexting-revelation?utm_content=politics&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&cmpid%3D=socialflow-twitter-politics



Swing and a miss!

[Monk06]

137. I wasn't wrong I just said it shouldn't matter either way to the public How Abedin handles it is

her business and nobody elses

[ForgoTheConsequence]

148. Wrong.

"Do you think Huma and Tony are going to respond this

two months before the ballot drops?

Get real"


You implied that they would not respond. You were wrong.

[Monk06]

149. Don't you have some beans to count somewhere? Implication is not declaration

I was talking about them responding to the news report

Leaving your husband is not responding to news it's making news

Personally I feel sorry for her and Weiner could have been an asset in congress but for his sexual obsession

It's a shame all around

[ChairmanAgnostic]

105. That's my question

Primal urges erase all situational understanding? When his spouse is on a presidential campaign? I reminds me, in a way, of Billy Carter, or that weird Reagan son.

[Blue_Tires]

119. Typical New York post -- Called the woman "busty"

and added the cheesecake photos to prove it...

[blue neen]

11. Mr. Weiner has always been inappropriate, but this realllllly crosses the line.

Huma Abedin has to make her own decisions, but her husband's behavior is now putting her child at risk.

[Upthevibe]

18. This is a bad association for us all. God help me! I'm already freaked by watching Ann Colter.

I also feel strongly that the wife needs to do something. It makes me sick!

[blue neen]

21. There is no association for us all. He is hurting his wife and child, and ultimately, himself.

As for Ann Coulter---don't pay any attention to her. She's getting more irrelevant each day, and that's the best thing that could happen.

[Hekate]

68. This time around I think Child Protective Services will have to take note. Idiot.

I understand loyalty, and gods know Huma's boss Hillary understands loyalty, but having a child literally in the picture is beyond crazy and quite illegal.

[alphafemale]

163. That pic opened that child up to be prey to all manner of pervs

And it will likely follow him for life.

And I would be willing to bet that was not the only time the kid made it into the background of one e of his dad's dick pics.

Sick, self absorbed bastard.

[nolabear]

32. This transcends stupid. He's lost his and is now risking hers.

I don't know what's at work there, but it's serious.

[Warren DeMontague]

37. Is this about the McChicken?

[wheniwasincongress]

55. Wow

hopefully THIS will finally push Huma to leave him. Who has seen the "Weiner" documentary? Anthony berates Huma for not acting like a "normal wife" when she refuses to do events for him. He doesn't even refer to his sexting as sexting; he calls it "the thing" or "my scandal" or simply "it." Huma supposedly dated John Cusack and George Clooney - she won't have trouble finding another man.

[KMOD]

57. Holy condesension

[pinboy3niner]

61. I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt that last pic is Anthony Weiner

Of course I'm no expert...

[Warren DeMontague]

63. He really shouldn't do that face, in selfies

it makes him look like one of those troll dolls.

[Warren DeMontague]

76. All I get on my Twitter feed is inspirational cat quotes

i think im doing it wrong

[pinboy3niner]

77. Yeah, my Twitter feed blocks all the good stuff too

But the cats are hilarious so I figure I'm coming out ahead.

[Warren DeMontague]

91. I'm no Carlos Danger

I'm more like Carlos the mild thrill of taking the tags off the mattresses that you're not supposed to

[Hekate]

67. "The stay at home cad" the article called him. The jerk is shameless and an embarrassment.

Poor Huma. I hope she ditches him and finds the money to hire a qualified nanny if her mom or sister can't step in this year. My bet is that this time around Child Protective Services is going to be on his sorry ass.

[MADem]

70. Huma needs to divorce him. I hope she does, soon. nt

[NanceGreggs]

82. Huma needs to do ...

... what SHE decides to do, and not what anyone else decides she needs to do.

I appreciate where you're coming from. But what happens in a marriage is a private matter and, despite the publicity that is inevitable when political figures are involved, it remains a private matter to be dealt with by the two people who are the only parties to that marriage.

And that's as it should be. What goes on between a husband and wife is their business, and not the business of complete strangers on the internet telling them what they should or shouldn't do.

[MADem]

86. Oh, sure. But I hope like hell she kicks him like a football. I can dream, can't I?

It's a private matter, but that asshole is making it public and dragging the child in to it, too. Huma is just too much of a quality person to put up with this nonsense for much longer. Anthony keeps dragging the public in to his private marriage with his quirky, pervy and immediately-made-public use of twitter.

Someone needs to break his thumbs so we're not subjected to new views of his manhood. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she unloads him.

Three strikes and you're out, and he continues to be a distraction. IMO, and that's all it is.

89. And what about the effect that's going to have on his son ? Huma must have serious self worth issues

if she thinks she can't do better than this asshole, but the bigger issue is the effect this will have on the kid.

[MADem]

122. Huma, I think, believes in 2nd chances. I think she gets a bit irritated when it comes to

3rd and 4th ones, though, which is why she announced their separation this morning. I think her self-worth is just fine.

[OnDoutside]

127. Delighted to hear it.

[Hekate]

130. YES! You go, girl! Because this new episode is about protecting her BABY. nt

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

102. The idiot Huma is married to makes it everyone's business

due to his extreme stupidity.

I completely understand why Huma stayed with him the first time he got caught publicly, but after three times? Not so much. I hope she leaves this time. God knows this is not the life I would want for myself or my daughters, and I surely wouldn't want my daughters thinking this kind of public humiliation and abuse is ok for women.

[MowCowWhoHow III]

72. I guess he's a serial philanderer who's addicted to sending dick pix

Surely every rational part of his brain must be screaming "This is a bad idea Carlos!!!" every time he gets the urge, but here he is again.

[JI7]

84. how is he a philanderer ?

[brettdale]

88. uhm

A: Did the person he send the txt to, consent to receive the txt?
B: Was the person over the age of 18?
3: If the txt was released to the media without his permission, he is just as
big of a victim as Jennifer Lawrence.

[MADem]

126. He's a married man who took traditional vows of fidelity. It's not about "the person he texted."

He betrayed his wife, more than once, embarrassed her publicly, she gave him another chance, and he did it again. And again. She's had enough and she is separating from him.

[MowCowWhoHow III]

90. I suppose that was the wrong word choice

There's currently no evidence that he followed through physically any of the times he's been caught.

So what's preferable? Libertine, Roué or Sleazebag?

In any event, I look forward to him being Catfished ta fuck in future episodes.

[Vinca]

93. What the hell is wrong with the guy?

At one point he had one of the most promising political careers, but somehow his dick overruled his brain.

[KittyWampus]

100. He is not part of the Clinton Campaign. I object to you saying that.

His WIFE works for the Clinton campaign.

[boston bean]

101. He is a sick puppy. Something wrong with him. nt

[bigwillq]

103. He's a disgrace.

[Warren DeMontague]

104. He should find more wholesome hobbies. Like, eating at McDonalds.

i hear the McChicken is excellent.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

106. Do we know for sure that this is true. Is that HIM in the picks? It's New York Post, too.

[Sunlei]

107. woah, the NY post caught a big stupid, stupid fish.

[Adrahil]

109. Not a fan of Carlos Danger, but...

WTF does he have to do with the Clinton Campaign?

Because his wife is Clinton's top aide? Clinton isn't responsible for Carlos.

[AngryAmish]

114. Because the probable chief of staff could be blackmailed by her degenerate husband's exhibitionism?

That is just a little thing.

[MADem]

128. Can you imagine a story about John Sununu or Andy Card's wife sending intimate photos to

strangers?

The media would have a field day.

This will likely be a short term blip because Weiner has done this before--if this were the first time it would probably be a real distraction.

[jberryhill]

160. Blackmailed how?

I could see him being blackmailed to prevent her from finding out, but that's already happened.

She's separating from him, so what leverage does a potential blackmailer gain.

Spell this out for me - exactly how does she become the subject of some sort of blackmail based on his behavior?

[Odin2005]

110. What a fucking pig.

[B2G]

113. She can't ignore this. Her son's in the picture.

He crossed a gigantic line this time. Poor kid is going to see that one day. Sad.

[Eugene]

116. *groan*

Right or wrong, he is associated with the Clintons, and hostile press outlets
were out to catch him doing something stupid. Not only did he not disappoint,
but he also managed to outdo himself.

Dumb move, Carlos! Dumb! Dumb! Dumb!

[ksoze]

120. Just Announced: They're Seperating

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/30/nyregion/anthony-weiner-sexting-huma-abedin.html

[Marr]

123. "Mr. Weiner". lol, that's just so unfortunate.

[Blue_Tires]

124. So why did Weiner even get married if

he still loves playing the field so often?

[orpupilofnature57]

153. Not the first marriage of political ambition .

[Blue_Tires]

155. Shades of Charles Robb...

[Agschmid]

167. Because marriage is a useless antiquated societal norm.

[Blue_Tires]

169. I dunno... It can't be completely useless

Some people out there must get something out of it...

[Agschmid]

171. They do get something...

A divorce.

I'm clearly a bit jaded here.

[JI7]

172. he doesn't seem to have interest in actually being with other women

He just gets off on the sexting and sending pics .

[demmiblue]

125. Good lawd, I can see less than half of this thread.

Who the heck went of the deep end?!

Weiner is an absolute arse. That one particular pic is beyond disgusting.

Huma and her son do not deserve this. She needs to find a responsible caregiver to help her out ASAP.

[orpupilofnature57]

151. Nothing we can do, he's an Aristocrat now .
