He's back.

I found that after reading "Anthony Weiner returns to Twitter after 9 years away — but followers say ‘just don’t’" (NY Post), which says "Though the competition was stiff, “Just don’t” was the clear winner, rising to the top of the poll as the choice of 62% of respondents." 

I voted for the least popular choice: "Update your bio, then run." He pleaded guilty to a crime and served his sentence. He's a registered sex offender. But he has a right to free speech and social media is for everyone. 

I'm assuming "then run" means get on with tweeting. Not run for office.

ADDED: I wondered, how's Huma Abedin these days. I see she filed for divorce in 2017, when he pled guilty, but she withdrew the case in 2018. Years later, there is still no divorce. The Guardian published an interview with her last month:
I struggle with anxiety, but therapy helped me deal with the shock and trauma of what happened in my personal life. Marriage made me feel powerful and free.... I had a partner for the first time, somebody I loved and looked forward to going home to every night. Everything felt possible. That’s why it was so hard to lose it all overnight.... 
Dating apps are intimidating. I’m trying to stay open, but dating is terrifying, which also makes it exciting. I believe in love – I had it, I know what it felt like, I’d love to have that feeling again....  There’s a reason God created sex. It’s that sense of fulfilment and connection, of what you’re giving to yourself and to your partner. 
I didn’t explore it enough. I was raised in a world where sex was a taboo subject and it made it very mysterious. It was forbidden in our culture, but my parents said it was my decision. I kept myself closed. The first man I was intimate with was Anthony. I should have had more fun. The number of nights that ended with work, when I’d collapse into bed, then go back to the office to send more emails….

That's really sad!

You know what they say about "assuming."

"the competition was stiff"??

Run and win the D-Prez sweepstakes. Anyone can do it.

Enigma said...

The tag should have been "Democratic Women Stand By Their Men"

Clintons
Esptein / Maxwell
Weiners


A pair of Weiners will always be happier than a lonely Weiner.

Will there ever come a point where the left says ‘Okay, even for us that’s too many sociopaths’…?

Andrew said...

Didn't he have a laptop too? Serious question. Before Hunter's laptop, there was Weiner's laptop. Am I wrong? I could've sworn...

I'm sure the FBI will get right on that. If they can find the laptop in that room with the Ark of the Covenant.

The FBI is the Progressive gestapo. Why everybody thinks this is okay is crazy to me. The power keg is going to blow soon. It won't end pretty.

Sounds like Hummer claims Islam is to blame for the shenanigans Anthony Weiner kept getting into.

Buckwheathikes said...

"social media is for everyone"

Wrong.

Has Twitter allowed back the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump?

Social media is for them.

Oh well ... Twitter seems a good place, anyhow, for the transvestites, pedophiles and modern-day flashers who make up the Democrat Party.

"That's really sad!"

How can the words of Hillary Clinton's protege be given any weight at all?

I still want to know if huma is radically circumcised. It would explain a lot about wieners behavior.

Most any non-Muslim man on seeing those horribly mutilated labia et al would have a very hard time dealing with it. We've been told for years about all the horror of female circumcision. Then, when we have a case worth consequences like this, crickets.

Some here will say that's on weiner. That if he loved her he would accept her as she is. Love wouldn't care.

Perhaps. But did winner know about this before the marriage or was he deceived?

Huma's mother is pretty radical Muslim who has written favorably about genital mutilation.

Huma is known to be a lying bint.

I'm betting she is mutilated and also that she didn't tell him before marriage. I almost feel sorry for the little shit. Weiner, that is.

Huma found love in the arms of another, but their love is taboo. Hillary, oh Hillary, it's always been Hillary. Huma's heart races every time she hears Hillary say, "Huma, that Chardonnay isn't going to pour itself."

Act like nothing happened. If you're going to do it at all, brazen your way through. Head up, chest out, own it like it's normal.

Christopher B said...

Don't.

Lurker21 said...

No blue checkmark? Probably not him. Look at the picture of young Tony in the corner, something old Tony would rather forget.

Rollo said...

Make up your mind, people, and remember what you decided. Either Huma and Hillary were lovers or Webb Hubbell is Chelsea's father. It's unlikely that both rumors are true (or that either rumor is true).

I read the excerpt from the Huma interview in The Guardian and thought, geesh, so typical of women or maybe just American women. Here's this good-looking, bright woman who had this fabulous job working with some of the world's most powerful people, who has a child and, apparently, plenty of friends and family, and here she is whining about her sex life and worrying about dating. Nothing is ever enough, nothing is ever good enough. It should been this, why wasn't it that? I guess everyone has to find something to b*tch about.

As to Anthony Weiner being on Twitter, it's not as if he's going to bring the level of discourse down to some cruder, more barbaric level.

mikee said...

Every option ignores the necessary addition of "until you get caught at it again, pervert."

Bob Boyd said...

Met a girl who claimed her dog had bitten Anthony Weiner.

I thought it meant his re-appearance was going to be like poking a hornet nest.

THIS^^. Does anybody really believe Huma and Weiner were in love?? Weiner was Huma's beard.

Lurker21 said...

Female genital mutilation is common in Africa, less common in in South Asia, where the Abedins came from, and probably less common in Saudi Arabia, where they lived. Some educated Muslims will defend it out of team spirit without thinking of inflicting it on their daughters.

People aren't always as smart or as confident as one might assume. I doubt Wiener is very many people's idea of Prince Charming, but it's not absolutely inconceivable that he might have been Huma's. Washington DC is a strange place, and power and connections distort perceptions.

HoodlumDoodlum said...

Why would you talk to the Guardian about your current and historical sex life? What need would that serve? She's not selling a book or anything, is she?

stutefish said...

I read "update your bio then run" as "come back to twitter just long enough to bring your bio up to date, then run away and never look back (at the inevitable shitstorm)."

Readering said...

Does the couple separately or together feel responsible for Dobbs?

Dalben said...

It's not a free speech question, it's asking what people would advise him to do. No ones saying he's not allowed to post on twitter, but the large majority - inlcuding me - say it's a bad idea.

"He's Back"

??? Is this a Musk thing? (His being allowed back)

'Make up your mind, people, and remember what you decided. Either Huma and Hillary were lovers or Webb Hubbell is Chelsea's father. It's unlikely that both rumors are true (or that either rumor is true).'

You're forgetting...Hillary would do ANYTHING to gain political power. If that means being a lesbian but getting married and having a kid, so be it.

Not saying she's gay, btw, but that woman is the devil. Nothing she does would surprise me.

Somebody here once posted a fine version of Putting On the Ritz where each stanza ended with Huma Abedin.
