#JailMichaelMoore In The Twitterham Community Detention Facility
Does anyone see the irony of @Jack and his Twitter Gestapo pulling the plug on @RealJamesWoods for a /sarc ‘n /snarky meme that’s obviously a joke and Michael Moore (@MMFlint) tweeting “Vote Because The GOP Doesn’t Care If You Are Raped” delivered as seriously as a heart attack by Twitter?
Here’s Michael Moores Tweet, Jack. Do you think you oughta do something about it?

**Not Suitable For Human Consumption
From the Washington Post we learn, “Mark Cuban to donate $10 million to women’s groups after investigation into Dallas Mavericks.”
After a seven-month investigation into the workplace culture of the Dallas Mavericks, owner Mark Cuban agreed to donate $10 million to women’s
groups, and the NBA has created a series of mandates Dallas must follow moving forward.
Those punishments were announced Wednesday afternoon, in concert with the release of a 43-page report from the investigation by former Manhattan district attorney Evan Krutoy and former New Jersey attorney general Anne Milgram.
I have zero empathy for the arrogant Mr. Cuban, but I do see that the precedent set by his purchasing “indulgences” is going to unleash a pack of predators similar to Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Push or Al Sharpton’s National Action Network of “Shakedown Kings“, except it will be of the #Metoo movement rather than the “No Justice, No Peace” movement. On second thought, I bet you’ll see the two Reverends end up right in the middle of this new opportunity for legalized extortion.
