Feel bad for his son when he’s old enough to google.
This sentencing should also include (inadvertently) aiding the campaign and getting Trump elected. Lock him up for life!
Agreed. I wish it was 21 years.
I beg to differ. I’d sentence every person who aided in that to life. With periodic sessions on the electric chair. While I play with the switch.
Nope, I’m not a sadist at all…
Pervy – and now convicted – creep. If only Huma had a) divorced him the first time around and b) not used his computer.
I know. Could huma have prevented trump? Or coney? Bernie? It’s like all the stars were aligned for trump :/
Let’s keep the blame where it belongs – with the wannabe child molester.
Pointing out terrible decisions made by Huma isn’t the same as giving a pedophile a pass.
@frosty, so she is now at fault, even partially, for his actions?
interesting.
Yep. Has Huma even formally divorced Carlos Danger yet or is she still hanging on?
They are in the process of divorcing. They had a formal hearing a couple of weeks ago.
OH MY GOD I forget about his Screen name!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Carlos Danger! You can’t make this stuff up!
I feel like 21 months is too short 😑
I’m not surprised the ninjago movie bombed. Its target fanbase grew up 3 years ago, and even then it was always niche.
I have nothing to say about the cash me outside girl except that people are more dumb than previously thought and will make anything famous.
Lynnie, you are right- it’s not long enough. I wonder how many women were involved? Will they experience PTSD? Self-shaming? The 15 year old and his son, sleeping next to him, may need help now and in years to come. His deeds will have their impact beyond 21 months.
I don’t care about what he cost the election. I care that he is a fucking child predator. Words cannot describe what I would do to a person who did that to or with my kid.
He needs to be locked up for life. He will reoffend when released. There will be no happy ending.
This!!! Let’s focus on what’s really the issue here – he is a pedophile. Who gives a shit about the election at this point. I’m sure if Huma didn’t use his computer it wouldn’t have changed much. If Bernie was the candidate instead of Hilary, then maybe we would have the outcome we deserve. But right now, he has a little boy who will grow up and his father will be a registered sex offender, his mother is being blamed for causing the demise of Hilary’s presidency, and oh yea! there’s a 16 year old out there who saw Anthony’s wiener.
Geralds game looks good, looks like it will remain faithful to the book. Also looking forward to netflixs adaptation of Stephen Kings novella 1922
He got off easy, 21 months for a sexual predator? Once Ok, twice are you crazy? Third time? You are a sexual predator or need in-patient treatment.
I can’t believe they made such a crappy deal (for the “state”, not weiner Weiner). Personally, I think you need to lock up child predators and NEVER let them out. Statistics show, they NEVER change. He is one sick puppy. Still makes me sick to think he was sexting next to his sleeping kid. Words just fail me (not really, but I know you can’t curse here lol).
Interestingly enough, some of the commenters on the New York Times website (one loud one on particularly) think that because he never actually physically connected with anyone, the jail sentence is too harsh. Also, they’re victim-blaming the 15-year-old, saying she sought Weiner out for money, attention and a book deal. I keep wondering whether they’d be saying that if he were black. No one seems to be mentioning that some of the sexting activity was happening with his toddler son in the room. The whole episode is tragic, but I think justice was served in this case.
He should have gotten more time for preying on children. Less than 2 years is not nearly enough.
Finally something democrats and republicans can agree on: Anthony Weiner is a loser who needs to be in jail, and for more than 21 months.
totally agree. his wealth and contacts got him off easy. imagine if this was a poor man, of whatever color. he’d have spent at least 20 years in jail. Weiner got a second chance and then did even worse things than the first time. If he knew he had a disease as he claims, he should have given up internet access or given up his phone.
Buzzfeed repub bonehead commenters are still trying to politicize this, because Buzzfeed is Demo. Of course.
Good for Weiner. Now when is Bill Cosby’s turn?
Not good enough, but its something.
I wish girls like the Cash Me outside chick wouldn’t be rewarded with lot of money so they can keep cursing. How old is she? 15?????? it should be illegal… she is still a minor so she won’t pocket the money anytime soon but who knows? kids these days stand no chance: they are surrounded and bombed with stupidity, appearances, illusions, money, greed….
I wish agents like her mother were held more accountable for their inability to take responsibility for their child. I dislike CMO Girl, but she is so obviously a product of her upbringing.
The lack of parenting happening with these teenage Insta famous girls is so sad. My brother is 13 so I often check what he does online and he was watching an instagram live or something like that where cashmeousside girl was getting told by the viewers that her mother beat her up because she was disrespectful and her mother was in the background watching the entire thing apparently. This girl was shouting obscenities and threatening to fight people with her mother watching. She had some sort of drama with another Insta famous 14 year old, named Malu I believe, who looks to be at least 21. She records her entire life and constantly asks for approval on whether or not her vagina is visible through her outfit and how her butt looks while twerking. She was already cheated on by a rapper and her mother is perfectly fine with all of it. Probably because the girl now has a record deal. I don’t get how money is worth more than your child’s well being.
Danielle Bregoli looks like all the white girls in juvie. She acts like one, too.
It’s beyond sad that this once-promising man (Weiner) continues to be brought down by such a terrible compulsion. The various consequences of his behavior upon himself, his family and our presidential election are a tragedy. Not forgetting those underage girls he targeted, either.
Stop the presses: Harry and Meghan holding hands at Invictus!
Woo hoo!
My understanding is that Weiner didn’t target underage girls. He’s an asshole with pathology around his impulses, a bad husband and not that great a House rep. But – he sexted like an addict, everyone else described in every news story about this was an adult (link me up with contrary proof), the girl was a teen who had not only done this before – no hate- but sold her story to the Daily Mail in lieu of going to authorities, he and she never even discussed meeting, and she subsequently got paid for an Inside Edition interview where she happily showed her face and openly said she went after him, made the first contact, and did so because she knew Hillary was running.
I think registering as a sex offender is appropriate. But 2 years in a federal prison seems crazy. And Huma was trying to stand by him, and chose not to conclude the divorce until her son’s father and primary caregiver for his entire life faced sentencing, which seems smart. I’m amazed at those criticizing Huma. Imagine waking up to this during the most professionally stressful period of your life.
He KNEW she was 15. He admitted the WHOLE TIME he knew she was 15.
He knowingly sent a 15 year old CHILD pictures of his PENIS
He knowingly encouraged a 15 year old to perform sexual acts on camera for him.
He deserves the time in prison and he probably won’t even end up serving the full 21 months. I think your sympathy for him is misplaced. It doesn’t matter that she went after him. It doesn’t matter that she sold her story. She isn’t an adult capable of making fully thought out decisions. HE IS THE ADULT IN THE SITUATION. HE KNOWS IT IS WRONG. HE IS 53 FOR CRYING OUT LOUD HE COULD BE HER GRANDFATHER.
^^^ bravo
THIS ^^^^^^^^ 1MILLION PER CENT!
This guy is an out and out perv! He should NOT be let out of prison, he WILL do it again, and again.
I wonder how he could have avoided a potentially money grubbing fifteen year old trying to cash in on her connection to him? Oh yeah, by not sexting with said fifteen year old!
(also I in no way blame the girl, just to be clear- total /s tag. Weiner is super gross and deserves jail time)
The girl might be bad news, but it’s irrelevant – 15 says it all.
If he does the full 21 months I think that is enough time in prison. What he needs is mental health care and to leave public life behind permanently. I truly hope for Huma’s sake that he gets his life together once he’s released from prison. It takes a very sick minded person to throw away one’s career, public persona, and family to do something like this. A part of me thinks though that Weiner is way beyond repair and will be eager to return to the spotlight in some form in a few years.
How many years would you deem appropriate if an adult engaged your child in this?
Meanwhile, guess who is no longer at the top of the charts for billboard despite releasing stupid behind the scenes videos and dropping her prices? And whose second release dropped 13 spots in one week. Lol!!!
I am thrilled he wasn’t able to slither away from justice like so many of his politically powerful ilk. Couldn’t have happened to a creepier guy and I hope he makes lots of new ” friends ” behind bars.
Didn’t Bey & Jay just buy a $90 million property? I don’t care how rich they are — spending that kind of money (on two homes!) would make me nervous as hell.
How far back does this behavior go? Was he always like this and then got caught or did this start after his career started?
That’s a good question, I listened to an interview he did with Alex Baldwin a few years ago, and I think he talked in general about his need for attention (which went back a long way), and that the sexting stuff was part of that. The whole thing is just a tragic mess for everyone involved, especially his poor son. I suppose Weiner will be on the sex registry even once he gets out of jail.
Yes, LittlefishMom – Weiner has to register as a sex offender.
This Weiner guy looks creepy. His sentence should have been longer. In other news, DM published an exclusive of Wendy Williams husband living a double life. He has been having an affair for 10 Years
Congrats to Kandi!
I can’t wait for the next season of RHOA – if only to see how she dealt with the Phaedra aftermath. That reunion bombshell was crazy.
I feel bad for Huma and their kid. Stuck between a rock and a hard place for this to be taking place during the campaign. Judge her all you want, but 1. she can do what she wants to do bc she is a G-A woman, and 2. she is likely hurt and I can sympathize with that, especially with her keeping her composure in public throughout the campaign.
Human I think has her own issues for staying with him. He is a self consumed narcissistic blowhard which is so sad, because he can be incredible speaker, very funny and charismatic, and has fought for lots of great causes in his political career. It’s just sad all around. He clearly has a serious problem that can’t be cured and Huma has problems with her own self worth and codependency or she would have kicked him to the curb a long time ago. Sad for his kid.
I never ‘get’ Moschino! It always looks like tacky gimmicky bullshit to me.
And then you judge her and place your values on her again–immediately after I say we should be ashamed of doing so. “She has problems with her self-worth and codependency?” Seriously?
Yes, seriously. Watch the documentary Weiner, which was even before the 15 year old texting thing, and get back to me. He has a serious problem. I’m not judging her, I’m just being honest when I say, she’s way too good for him and I don’t know how you could be with a man like that without compromising your self worth and self respect every second of every day. And there’s nothing admirable about her sticking by him at this point. He’s been abusive and had this problem for a very long time. My values include but are not limited to: not staying in abusive relationships with self consumed assholes.
Alert! Alert!
Sparkle and the Hot Ginge are SO CUTE!!

My kids love the ninjago series, even I get into it. The problem is that they got all these celebrities to do the voices instead of the people who actually voice the characters in the show. That alone made me not want to see it or take my son, it’s just not the same. They were hoping that they could bank on big names and it didn’t work.
I haven’t seen the movie, but the promos just didn’t seem as interesting as the original tv series (which I did see, at least up to what seemed to be the end of the Spinjitzu part, when Garmadon was healed: recent incarnations of Lego hero types have seemed kind of blah so I haven’t paid attention). Maybe it was partly the voices being off. Dunno why they chose to mess with success. Professional voice actors typically do a much better job anyway than celebrities who do live action, with some exceptions. (The Kung-Fu Panda ones worked in the movies.)
An interesting aside – Weiner is Jewish, and I don’t know how or even whether he connects religiously with that, but he was sentenced during the High Holy Day period. Between Rosh HaShanah (the new year) and Yom Kippur 10-day period when we examine ourselves and our behavior and are judged accordingly. I was going to look for something succinct to explain it, and then remembered that I wrote (I do some freelance journalism) a story about it for our local Jewish community paper. Link below for anyone who is really curious, but here’s the basics:
“The period is seen as a time when every Jewish adult is on trial. But rather than taking place in a court of law before a jury of our peers, the setting is inside ourselves, and God is the judge. In synagogue, we engage in communal prayer and communal confession.”
