  1. Harvey isn’t going like Rikers Island . He’s in for a brutal reality check.Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy he’s going to get a taste of fear that he that he has dished out to others for years.

    1. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. (Mark 11:25 KJV)

    1. @Joe Bitgood lol who knows him and trump are peas in a pod, Trump is passing out pardons like popcorn so he may’ve been added to the list lmbo

  2. Whoops! The end of TRUMPS best
    friend. NOW, Imagine how the end
    of Mr Big Stuff trump and FAMILY
    Will be if it arrives.

    1. You mean Oprahโ€™s friend…? She is also good friends with John of God and others? Why does Oprah associate with these types?

    2. William H Music 2020 Because of that video? Some stupid person made the video. I tell you what though, it must be embarrassing to be an AMERICAN!

    3. @William H Music 2020 What on earth have the democrats anything to do with this show? Why should they be embarrassed? Your comment is ridiculous beyond all belief.You know you can’t defend the indefensible. Instead you change the topic and babble whataboutism like all stupid Trump supporters so often do. One definition, among many others, of republican politician s is that they are corrupt, often criminal people, of which Donald is one. Think before you speak! There are a lot of really stupid Americans who do not care, or worse, do not understand that America is under a big threat from the criminal Donald and his family. It is even worse that there are republican congressmen who know he is a mentally ill, corrupt lunatic support him because they are afraid of losing there seats in congress. That is how corrupt America has become. The world is watching this decline of America with horror. A fallen America opens the door for dictator Putin to highjack the country. But what do you care! You probably do not understand how serious the situation in in America. When the justice system is so corrupt as it is now you live in a dictatorship, If you have any intelligence at all you should be afraid and not vote against your own interest. If you don’t care you should move to Russia or N Korea and let the decent, freedom loving Americans keep their democracy.
      Posted from the liberal Europe, free from corrupt, criminal politicians

  3. Now that Harvey, the good friend of many powerful people has been convicted, Hopefully they bring down the enablers and others who were of like mind? The world is waking up.

  4. It amazes me how they pick and choose who goes to jail for sexual assault and who doesn’t! Starting at the White House how about holding him accountable! Bill Cosby is paying his dues!

    1. Jim Jordan needs to go to for his actions in the scandal! Sandusky got what he deserved and his enablers should have too!

    2. No one should be exempt because of who they are and how much money they have ! The Queen and her family too!

  5. I’m overjoyed.
    I dream of a time when no one would Dare touch another person without their permission.
    Anyone who has used their position to assault another should be very afraid because this is just getting started.

    1. Most sexual contact that first originates by men to women and women to men is done without permission. The issue here isn’t about permission so much as it is about power taking advantage. There is a difference and that difference is important. If the base line for sexual misconduct was not recieving permission before touching then while Harvey Weinstein goes to prison it’s the beginning of the end impulsive sexual desire as men, as they are starting to do now, stay away from women in multiple social and work related situations in order to avoid the accusation of sexual misconduct.

    1. @Martin Jefferson Oh, I don’t need to Google it, it’s a long since debunked conspiracy theory, or is that what you wanted me to Google it for?

  6. I’ll bet Harvey jumpet to his feet like a teenage Russian gymnast in shock at the verdict,forgetting the walker that perambulated him into court.

  7. OMG… the walker?? puhLEASE… nice try…. sickening when criminals try to play the jury with the ‘feeble old man’ ploy. glad he’s going to finally find out what happens when HE is the victim. but for all those actors and actresses that knew about this, and did nothing (yeah i’m talking to you george clooney) – SHAME ON YOU. so many people knew about it and looked the other way – for DECADES!

  8. While #WonderfullyHungry, I simply wish fellow American men would stop being #hangry (aka #TerriblyHungry) so that they’d also be able to stop misbehaving terribly towards women both back then and now.
