At what point does ardently pursuing a woman become stalking or inappropriate? There is an old expression... "A faint heart never won a lady"  Being timid doesn't work, so be bold. So what's the cut off? Is she telling you to stop because she is coy or shy... or does she really mean "fuck off I'll sue you for harassment"  ?  and then there's a woman pursuing a man. Or same sex. Are we doomed to die out as a race because we fail to make the connection so we can breed?

 

 

Ok,so anything that is an old saying is now considered offensive to the extreme.

 

All must tiptoe ever so gingerly through the minefield of ever constantly changing defintions of the PC elites who decide on these,any and all matters.

John Lasseter's Pattern of Alleged Misconduct Detailed by Disney/Pixar Insiders

 

One longtime Pixar employee says Lasseter was known for "grabbing, kissing, making comments about physical attributes."

 

Rashida Jones is still credited as a writer on Toy Story 4, the next installment in the beloved franchise. But, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter, the actress and her writing partner at the time, Will McCormack, left the project early on after John Lasseter, the acclaimed head of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation, made an unwanted advance.

 

Jones and McCormack did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Disney declined to comment on the alleged incident though a studio source said the departure was over "creative differences." Multiple sources spoke with THR but asked not to be named out of fear that their careers in the tight-knit animation community would be damaged.

 

Based on the accounts of former Pixar insiders as well as sources in the animation community, the alleged incident was not an isolated occurrence. One longtime Pixar employee says Lasseter, who is well-known for hugging employees and others in the entertainment community, was also known by insiders for “grabbing, kissing, making comments about physical attributes.” Multiple sources say Lasseter is known to drink heavily at company social events such as premiere parties but this source says the behavior was not always confined to such settings.

 

(From The Hollywood Reporter)

 

It is hard to overstate Lasseter’s value to Disney. He is known as the genius behind Pixar films from Toy Story to the upcoming Coco. He took charge of Walt Disney Animation in 2006 and lead a revival that included such gigantic hits as Frozen and Inside Out.

Well perhaps there were conventions used in the past where, up to a point it's flattering to be pursued but it was easy to make clear (maybe even without saying so) when to stop. Like tennis .... the ball's in your court. Do you return it and keep playing? or quit the game?

Lavar Ball is a real prick isn't he ? he must be if a CNN guy won't even agree with him on what Trump did for his son.

Trump didn’t do anything according to Ball, because rescuing his son wasn’t Trumps sole intent of traveling to China.......

 

Someone get this guy some more entitlement please.

Another Woman Accused Rep. John Conyers Of Sexual Harassment In Court Filings This Year

 

A former scheduler in the Conyers' office attempted to file a sealed lawsuit against him this February in the US District Court for the District of Columbia that alleges she suffered unwanted touching by the Democrat “repeatedly and daily.” She abandoned the lawsuit the next month, after the court denied her motion to seal the complaint.

 

The woman was not involved in the 2015 sexual harassment and wrongful dismissal complaint that Conyers settled in 2015, which was revealed Monday by BuzzFeed News, and is now under investigation by the House Ethics Committee.

I've always thought that no matter the person's sexuality,if they can do their job properly then leave them be.

 

 

                  Same here - unless they demand that you endorse/accept their lifestyle.

To me,what they do in private is their business.

Fusion GPS paid journalists, court papers confirm

 

Newly filed court documents confirm that Fusion GPS, the company mostly responsible for the controversial “Trump dossier” on presidential candidate Donald Trump, made payments to three journalists between June 2016 until February 2017.

 

The revelation could be a breakthrough for House Republicans, who are exploring whether Fusion GPS used the dossier, which was later criticized for having inaccurate information on Trump, to feed anti-Trump stories to the press during and after the presidential campaign. The three journalists who were paid by Fusion GPS are known to have reported on "Russia issues relevant to [the committee's] investigation," the House Intelligence Committee said in a court filing.

 

But the recipients' names, the amounts, and purposes of those payments were either redacted from the documents that Fusion GPS filed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia or were not disclosed.

 

Fusion has asked the court to issue a restraining order against the House committee, which is demanding documents from the company that, among other things, explain the payments it made to reporters. Most of the documents sought are banking records.

“It wasn’t the White House, it wasn’t the State Department, it wasn’t father LaVar’s so-called people on the ground in China that got his son out of a long-term prison sentence - IT WAS ME,”

 

"just a poor man’s version of Don King, but without the hair. Just think.”

 

“LaVar, you could have spent the next 5 to 10 years during Thanksgiving with your son in China, but no NBA contract to support you. But remember LaVar, shoplifting is NOT a little thing. It’s a really big deal, especially in China. Ungrateful fool!”

Congressman Overseeing Sexual Harassment Settlements Investigated By FBI For Campaign Fraud

 

Pennsylvania Congressman Bob Brady, who oversees the settlements paid by Congress for sexual discrimination complaints, is under FBI investigation for false statements, conspiracy and campaign fraud, documents showed Tuesday.

 

Brady, a Democrat, is a ranking member of the Committee on House Administration, which gives him power over settlement payments with taxpayer dollars. The office also works to prevent sexual harassment in Congress.

 

The court papers say the Brady campaign paid a former judge $90,000 to drop out of a 2012 primary race. The judge and onetime Brady rival, Jimmie Moore, was caught and pleaded guilty to falsifying his campaign finances to conceal the payment. Brady’s camp claimed it knew nothing of Moore’s attempts to conceal the donation, but Moore’s lawyer disagreed.

 

“[brady] and the defendant agreed and understood that the payment from [brady’s] campaign … would be disguised,” attorney Jeffrey Miller said in court, “and the deception would include hiding at least some of [brady’s] funds as the purchase of a poll analyzing the primary matchup between [them], notwithstanding the fact that [brady] was already in possession of this same poll.”
