Newsweek cover: Pop Go the Weasels

[demmiblue]

[FM123]

1. A picture is worth a thousand, wait, no - a million words here!!!

[ProfessorGAC]

2. Is This Real?

Hard to envision that on the newsstand.

[brush]

3. Real or not it's a great graphic hits the point perfectly. Wonder who the art director is?

[demmiblue]

7. Yep, it is:

11. Seriously? "Garden of Dicks?"

That's amazing; they'll sell a ton of copies.

[Initech]

14. Newsweek stopped print editions like 2 years ago if I remember correctly.

But hey I love this cover!

[Hortensis]

19. Lol. Imagine this displayed at 500,000 grocery checkout stands!

Maybe not, but a funny thought.

[Initech]

21. I would freaking love to see this!

[niyad]

32. the supermarket chain where I shop STILL has Cosmo covered. but millions (it seems)

of magazines devoted to gun humpers--for all to see. I complain regularly.

[ProfessorGAC]

38. I See That Too

And the one at the gas station right by my house has one with a "hottie" in short shorts and black leather halter. But, they cover Cosmo covers? Give me a break!

[Hortensis]

43. Lol. I routinely turn poisonous covers backwards.

Especially National Enquirer, a genuinely evil rag displayed all over the place.

[niyad]

44. since there are approximately 40 different gunhumper mags, and the backs are just as

bad as the fronts, that takes work. I do, however, cover the tabloids at the checkstand, and the reichwing books.

[Hortensis]

45. Lol. Every little bit.

[niyad]

46. have been doing this for many years now.

[Hortensis]

47. Only minor here until last couple. I don't look at the magazine

racks usually. Even the check-out stands I guess I didn't notice how political and evil Inquirer had become, beyond what it had been, until I was shocked one day by something. If there's room to move a stack of something else in front of it I sometimes will, but it sticks out. Dumb, I have no idea how often they reorganize those things.

I've read it's white working people who love those vicious lies about celebs, and now pumped up coverage of Trump, but given the political corruption of media I'm not at all sure their chumming for those sharks is only about profits.

I can see that gun mags would take a bit more time. Wonder if whoever's on security knows you and if you have a nickname.

[niyad]

48. oh, they know me!! the guy who used to do the mags and books asked me if I would at

least wait until he left before I rearranged everything.

when I was running a bookstore, I had all kinds of fun with the books and mags.

[Hortensis]

49. Terrific! Lol.

[ProfessorGAC]

22. That's Right

I forgot all about that. Thanks

[demmiblue]

29. Nope, they still circulate print editions.

[Initech]

31. Really? I thought they were online only.

[Duppers]

23. Don't think so.

Not found searching.

Funny Photoshop tho.

[demmiblue]

4. Whoa, I just read the accompanying article... very, very powerful and well written:

“Women, you have to treat ’em like shit.” —Donald Trump, New York magazine, November 9, 1992

After centuries of indifference to or even tacit (and sometimes open) sanctioning of sexual harassment, abuse or assault, we are suddenly in the midst of a cock conflagration. Powerful men in Hollywood, politics, journalism and many other fields are being pilloried, sacked or jailed for piggish or even criminal behavior toward women.

To understand how this bonfire started, we must speak frankly about the Garden of Dicks, a mythical place in the caveman lobe of the male brain. Like that other primeval paradise, the Garden of Eden, men have tried for millennia to create it here on Earth.

The Garden of Dicks is a Hooters. It’s an NFL locker room. It’s the Vatican. It’s the Rolling Stones’ private jet. It’s Harvey Weinstein’s suite at the Tribeca Grand Hotel.

...

In the Garden of Dicks, it’s always about the dick.

6. Despite the Billy Bush tape with trump..

approximately 50% of white women who voted, voted for trump. Not to mention the women who accused him of inappropriate behavior. I have yet to figure out how that happened. Why was trump given a pass by these women.

[Mr.Bill]

9. Because they feel threatened

by an empowered woman who gets things done like Hillary Clinton.

[CatMor]

10. How sad for them......

feeling threatened by someone who is out to help them.

[Mr.Bill]

13. Yes, it is.

I'll tell you what, Democratic elected officials will do a whole lot more to help republican citizens than the other way around.

[RandomAccess]

39. NONSENSE

That's an unflattering and untrue stereotype about women and as such is inappropriate for you to dredge up IMO.

There was plenty not to like about Hillary (ask me how I know), and that would've been especially true for anyone with a conservative bent. FURTHER, we had Russia inflaming all those Hillary's-not-my-favorite feelings big time. I watched a good bit of it on Facebook and Twitter and was aghast at the time, and looking back now that I know all about Russia's involvement, I'm even more aghast at how embedded they were and how successful they were.

[zipplewrath]

15. Because they've "bought into" the arrangement

It's a variation of Stockholm syndrome. Women acclimate the the arrangement and even learn to manipulate it. As such, they accept the way it is and even can become concerned about it changing somehow because it could affect their ability to manipulate it.

[lark]

16. Way too many women are taught from the cradle to despise other women and worship men.

I heard it so often from the women at work, how bitchy women are, you know you can't trust women, etc. etc. I just don't get it, my mom came from family with 8 girls and 4 boys and her sisters were her support system. She raised us the same way, and my sister is my best friend. I think it's a crying shame that so many women hate themselves and their sisters so much that they support a man who's been sued 22 times for sexual harassment and/or assault, was best friend with a convicted child rapist and is accused of raping and beating a 13 year old. /they would rather support him than a hard working brilliant woman because of 30 years of RW lies and because of their inbred hate of themselves.

[pandr32]

25. Well said

[RandomAccess]

40. I disagree

Yes, can be true of some women, but --

42. I'm most definitely speaking from personal experience at work.

I don't remember seeing this at school (?), but I worked for 47 years in an environment where there were 90% women and hundreds to thousands of us depending on which company I was working at, and I saw sadly this attitude over and over. I will never truly understand why so many have it, but it's certainly present.

[hlthe2b]

5. Powerful cover... Even more so because of "is Trump next"!

Off to read the article

[Madam45for2923]

8. Is there something they know? Hmmmm....

[ehrnst]

12. Reminds me of this necklace

[renate]

17. we're all so overwhelmed by everything that's happened since Election Day

... I for one had forgotten how truly shocking the accusations against Trump were.

It's just unbelievable that someone like him, with a history of genuinely disgusting behaviors, was allowed to get anywhere near the White House. I can't believe the media didn't cover his behavior towards women with 1% of the energy that they covered his stupid rallies... it's beyond imagining, because those were certainly newsworthy and salacious stories.

It's really amazing to see this all in print. And men on both sides are named, so it's not just an anti-Trump article, which I think will give extra credence to it. But wow, to see a story about the current president looking up women's skirts and commenting on their genitalia... I'm old enough to remember when that would have tanked a political career on Day One.

[iluvtennis]

18. I had not forgotten about the allegations against hi. What disgusts me is that women still voted

for him. GAH

[saidsimplesimon]

20. Soon it will be

pop go the traitors who suck up to the russian tsar and mafia money.

[vkkv]

24. Ouch ! I get the symbolism, sort-of... but Red nail polish, Playboy bunny hand gesture..

Is this really the hand of an average American woman?

Nope.

[Corvo Bianco]

26. Yes!

Go to hell unwanted boners.

[onetexan]

27. Newsweek says it like it is with its covers - thought-provoking and leans on controversial

and i for one love and applaud what it does.

[bucolic_frolic]

28. Horrors!

It takes balls to have a cover like that!

[Solly Mack]

30. K&R

[niyad]

33. k and r--and you nearly owed me a keyboard!!

[Docreed2003]

34. A big Orange dick...yep thats trump! Nt

[dalton99a]

41. Size is exaggerated for visibility

[malaise]

35. Is Don the Con next?

We can hope - he won't escape this one ever - women are pissed

[HipChick]

36. Ha! Let's hope...

[malaise]

37. The women showed us on Tuesday

It will grow - I need a pink pussy hat.
