Weiner is not running for office and this is not a thread discussing an election. I am sending it to The BBQ Pit. ---

I don’t think the world is missing out on much, the guy is useless as far as I’m concerned. Its obviously some kind of compulsive behavior with the guy, and he is also a grade A narcissist. I do wonder about what drives such behavior. A guy I know through a fellow friend recently got busted for flashing his family jewels in stores at women across town, and apparently he had been doing it for quite some time in various places but had always been able to get away before, the guy had to know he would be caught eventually but he continued to press his luck. I had met and talked with the guy several times, had him in my home years ago, he seemed personable and normal I never would have suspected him of doing that. ---

If they can see his jewels from across town, he deserves to flash 'em. ---

I can’t even begin to understand guys who do this. What guy with any shred of common sense thinks “Hey, she must be dying to see my junk!”? ---

> [@Try2B\_Comprehensive](#): > > Anyone remember when this story was funny? I somehow managed to miss the initial flood of stories (was I on vacation?) and saw an absolutely hysterical clip from The Daily Show. Jon Stewart pointed out that Weiner had to apologize “to Bill Clinton. For what? Copyright infringement? A patent violation?” The funniest sex scandals never actually involve anyone having sex. But shortly afterward I wondered if any minors saw the pics. After all, he can’t really control who is getting them, which is (among other reasons) a really good reason why you shouldn’t send people pictures of your junk. (I’m also stunned by how many women carried on conversations with him, and even more stunned that none of their first responses were to tell on him. He could have been doing this for years before he was caught!) ---

> [@pool](#): > > I don’t think the world is missing out on much, the guy is useless as far as I’m concerned. Its obviously some kind of compulsive behavior with the guy, and he is also a grade A narcissist. That’s what I assumed at first, but now I think it’s almost the opposite. He’s perpetually horny (as he has stated in chats) but maybe suffers from some sort of anxiety, which can only be relieved by random women on the internet telling him how big his junk is. (So what happens when one of these random women disagrees with him?) A lot of people who suffer from OCD have an obsession that appears to have nothing in common with their compulsion. The obsession is what they can’t stop thinking about, and when they perform the compulsion that’s the only time they stop thinking about it. If Weiner suffers from OCD, it’s obvious what the compulsion is, but the obsession might be something completely unrelated to digitally flashing people. ---

I can imagine Weiner is perpetually horny, since Huma probably cut off the nookie right after he was forced out of the House. I would be terribly disappointed in her if she hadn’t. When he was forced out the the Mayoral race, I hope she chased him around the house with a meat cleaver. ---

With his name and compulsion he should have been a porn star. The looks though… ---

> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > The whole thing is a PSYOP. Look closely at the photos— it’s not even his bulge. Just some crisis erector. Hmm. Have there been any photos that actually show both his crotch and his face? I know that by even asking this I’m asking to be destroyed by Hillary’s would-be Amazons, but have there? I’m not saying he’s _not_ an insane narcissist. I’m not saying it’s _more_ likely that this is a complicated mix of frame and blackmail. I’m just saying that if the bigwigs in the New York Democratic Party told me it was raining, I’d try to figure out if they were sprinkling only piss on me or actual medical waste. ---

> [@](#): > > Weiner reportedly admitted to the Daily Mail that he had engaged in flirtatious exchanges with the girl but did not comment further on any of the specific allegations. He maintained that some of the details may be a hoax. Yeah, why are you all having difficulty believing that they hacked his phone again? It’s gotta be Trump, the Russians, or maybe Hillary trying to permanently detach Huma for her own selfish purposes. 😕:smack::eek: ---
