CNN Staffer John Griffin Charged With Enticing Moms, Daughters Into 'Sexual Activity' (msn.com)

CNN's John Griffin, who was Chris Cuomo's producer, has been arrested by the FBI and charged with three counts related to the sexual abuse of underage girls. Among the incidents were paying a mother to bring her 9-year-old daughter to him where the child then engaged in sexual acts. Lots of lurid acts mostly involving trying to get underage girls to let him train them in sexual subservience. Major creep. That he was a big shot at CNN and Cuomo's producer should shock no one.

No surprise that CNN's main page is focused on Trump and not this. You have to do a search for John Griffin to find the article.

Fucking disgusting, the parent needs to go to jail too. There's even more in there now that I read it fully. Damn...

Amen!

Xi Jimping doesn't even flaunt his state media that hard.

WTF?

Saw this the other day. This was New Republic I believe. They're all propaganda, the Media Bias site says left leaning with low factual reporting.
The funny part is they released a piece a year ago July I believe that was pretty critical of Trump The hypocrisy runs deep.

If you don't like who your readers voted for in your person of the year poll, then you just cancel the poll, lol.

The funniest part is the Repliers carrying that over into the other Guardian poll.

Canada wants any unvaccinated trucker arriving from the U.S.to quarantine for 14 days? Wait until the drivers refuse to cross the border. Canadians will be pissed when the shelves go dry.

The influence of bare shelves Biden spreads! Imagine thinking you are ensuring freedom while suppressing citizens with unacceptable views. Yikes.

90% of Canadian truckers are vaccinated. Unvaccinated truckers can't enter the US either. Fringe gunna fringe, facts be damned.

 

[ab2cmiller]

For the love of God, tell me why in the world is Canada and the United States requiring vaccinations of truckers to cross the border. Please help me understand how vaccinating a truck driver has any impact on the spread of Covid?

I am not a operations management/logistics type so I could be wrong. Just seems silly to care at this point. Pretty clear the vaccines are not stopping infection or spread and we are all gonna get it. So why remove (up to) 10% of the workforce from a pretty important task?

 

[drayer54]

I have to think the risk of people who are isolated to the cab of a truck is pretty significant and is therefore worth adversely impacting an already stressed supply chain.

Different societal norms up here, my firm which is as conservative as it gets (regular anti-Trudeau LinkedIn articles on the daily) has a vaccine mandate in place. Our premiers have various vaccine mandates in place. If we allow one group to say "nuh uh" to it and allow them to be treated differently than the rest of us others will get that idea and where will it stop?

Albeit that group is incredibly small % wise up here and this belief is really only shared by the fringe PPC party. Greenore can attest this being just fringe loons supporting this.

Pretty based that you work for a conservative (albeit Canuck conservative) firm.

I think there was a time when it was justifiable to put mandates in place on the company level... after all, I'm sure businesses generally want their people in the office and didn't want people spreading covid in the office.

But at this point...thats not an issue anymore. Everybody is gonna get it. And everybody is gonna spread it. Throw in supply chain issues, and it doesn't make sense to require it anymore.

There is no such thing as a "progressive" CPA firm lol

The main issue for us is that unvaccinated face no barriers to receiving treatment at the hospital, so there is really no incentive for these people to get vaccinated if they can just waltz into a hospital and get the same level of care as a vaccinated person. Also the fact boosters seem to have short periods of protection against hospitalization is tough too.

Personal preference would be to let it run wild for us that are vaccinated, I'm sick of pandering to the anti-science crowd that are making this even a discussion. No masks no crowd restrictions just let me live my life lmao. Perfect world everyone's vaccinated and the hospitals are fine, but when cancer screenings are getting canceled because Dave is scared of microchips that's when I have an issue.

Does one have to be conservative to be anti-Trudeau?

Nope, I was adamant about him stepping down after the blackface stuff.

Don't really pay attention to Canadian politics. Not sure why you are adamant that he had to step down. I'm assuming that he sincerely apologized.

Looks like it was in 2001 and earlier. Certainly was a different time back then. A few entertainers (Jimmy Fallon, Robert Downy Jr., Dan Akroyd, , Sarah Silverman) did it in movies or skits. Heck there was an entire movie based off the premise. Ted Danson did blackface when he was roasting his then girlfriend Whoopi Goldberg. Did the fact that Ted Danson did blackface indicate that he had any racist feelings or views? I wonder if she was offended given the views of what was acceptable or not back then. I'm assuming none of these people would do it again in today's age because they recognize that it's wrong.

Came out around an election, much much better option Chrystia Freeland (Rhodes Scholar) would be an infinitely better choice. He's been a clown for most of his tenure.

He was 30 years old, as a kid in 2001 I knew blackface was racist. An adult, much less a teacher should have known that. Not a good look for a leader of a country. Not sure if blackface was deemed racist in the 90s/00s in the US but it certainly was up here.

Well it was unashamedly put into the West Point Grey Academy school yearbook. So either it wasn't as obvious back then as you state, or West Point Grey Academy was more likely to have racist views at the time and didn't think anything of it.

Ok? Seems like a mistake on their part to publish it. In my opinion black face was wrong in 2001 based on the cultural norms in my community. You're free to think otherwise.

For costume events/Halloween, it was still fine in ND when I was in college. Distinctly remember someone going to Halloween as Lil Wayne and....well without the face paint it wouldn't have worked lol.

But yeah different strokes for different folks. I dont think anyone should get in hot water for that sorta stuff but it is what it is.

For the record, if any non-white folks wanna be NorthDakota for Halloween, they have my blessing to use DarkWhiteFace. I'll send them a photo so they can match the color and also peep my typical outfit so they can match my style.
