Are we seeing another trend here?
Ellen, Hillary, Oprah.
Women with power are seriously dangerous.

A poignant example of the dangers of doing science without proper experimental design.

The "trend" you are perceiving does not exist. Hillary Clinton has been slandered at great length here, but you started this thread about Ellen and I don't think anyone has even mentioned Oprah but me and Puf -- neither in a context involving "danger."

That said, of course: anyone with power is seriously dangerous. This is the double bind that shapes the human governance of human societies.

^^My personal rule of thumb is that anyone who wants power probably shouldn't have it.

You could probably do a nationwide lottery and pick congress and the POTUS at random and get better results than you have today. Like jury duty, but with nukes.

I know, of course. I was being facetious.
The thread title is facetious, with the hope it would stimulate conversation on truths behind the facetious title - misogyny, mass media, power, money....and yes a bit of snark, mac..
Which is what you just did, thanks -

They work seven days a week doing whatever their agents need them to do in order to beat last years numbers.

Presumably some entrepreneur in Las Vegas is being proactive, and reaching out to celebrities with a following and a lifestyle brand to get them to sign on to these custom slot / game deals. This should take about five seconds.

Hollywood Is Making Millions Off Slot Machines

Ever since a Wheel of Fortune slot machine took the industry by storm two decades ago, manufacturers have been gravitating to licensed properties. That's meant bonus income for Hollywood studios (and the stars, who get a piece of the action if their faces are used) that can range from $1 million to $20 million, says gaming analyst Todd Eilers. In all, casino gaming manufacturers spend up to $200 million annually to land rights to popular brands like The Big Bang Theory and The Simpsons because a recognizable image can make all the difference on a casino floor.

...

Beyond royalty payments (even a contract that grants a few dollars per machine per day can translate to six figures annually for popular games), stars also benefit from a promotional boost. The licensing agent calls it "revenue-generating brand awareness," particularly for personalities that have a presence in Las Vegas, like Britney Spears, Celine Dion and Cirque du Soleil (who all have branded games on the Strip) ...


How about touching on the fact she was raised as a Christian Scientist, at least?
Clinton Connections? Her support for notorious DOD spook David Lynch?
Not even a primer on the CIA programming embedded in Finding Nemo?
Let's step it up, there's not a lot of 2017 left.
Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.
Don’t forget that.

That's a question to ask the wombat.
I am thinking he had his extra strength tinfoil hat on when he said that.

Also, I have had a change of heart.

Ellen is among the rare human beings on this earth who effects positive change in peoples lives, and in our culture in general.

Okay-



David Lynch Foundation Gala (Part 1) - Ellen Degeneres

Published on Jan 17, 2012
http://www.davidlynchfoundation.org/ Ellen DeGeneres opened the show at the David Lynch Foundation's 3rd annual Change Begins Within Gala. She talked about how she found other meditation techniques difficult - "How am I gonna do this!? This is just impossible." - Before she tried Transcendental Meditation: "There's something about TM - it is the only time I have that stillness, it's the only way I've ever been able to sit long enough. I open my eyes and I'm sad that it's twenty minutes later..... it gives me this peaceful feeling, I just love it so much and I talk about it as much as I can on my show without sounding like I'm preaching about it... I can't say enough good things about it... All the benefits that you can achieve from just sitting still and going within it really is a beautiful experience. I'm happy to be a part of this community and I hope to continue doing this."

Aw, this is all just some TM stuff.

TM is harmless, the way I see it anyway. Compared to some other stuff, like eating fast food or masturbating to pornography or driving an individualistic vehicle of any sort (electric or otherwise), it's positively neutral!

Well what if the DOD was putting millions into masturbation studies then?
Weaponized mastubation, imagine the possibilities!
