Larry Flynt ad offering $10M on Trump dirt
Larry Flynt, the founder of Hustler magazine, took out a full page ad in the Washington Post -- which is owned by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos -- requesting dirt on Donald Trump in order to impeach the president.
Flynt is offering a $10 million bounty on credible information that leads to the impeachment of Trump. The porn king is asking for tax returns information, records from the president’s investment or any “secret dealings with the Russians” that provides what he calls a “smoking gun.”
In the ad Flynt writes, “Impeachment would be a messy, contentious affair, but the alternative – three more years of destabilizing dysfunction – is worse. Both good Democrats and good Republicans who put country over party did it before with Watergate. To succeed, impeachment requires unimpeachable evidence. That’s why I am making this offer.”
Flynt has attempted to take down other lawmakers in the past with $1 million prize for information on sex and scandals that forced the resignation of former Louisiana Rep. Bob Livingston (R) and former Louisiana Sen. David Vitter (R), who admitted to being involved in a prostitution ring.
Fox News: Larry Flynt ad offering $10M for dirt on Trump
From that last paragraph it may appear this could work but it won't. Trump has covered himself in bomberlust and his crowd at the Coliseum loves that. Let's see some Muslim Gladiators out there so lions can eat them while we watch and drink our beer.
The FOX Business Network reached out to Mr. Flynt and in a statement, the Hustler magazine publisher said, “There’s a lot more people who have access in power now than back then. I don’t expect any Trump’s billionaire cronies to respond, $10 million dollars is a lot of money to a lot of people especially those who are in lower positions,” Flynt said. “I can’t think of a more patriotic thing to do than to get this guy out of office.”
The Washington Post issued a statement exclusively to FOX Business on the upcoming ad saying, “We give advertisers wide latitude to have their say – generally if the ads are not illegal or advocating illegal actions we try not to place limits on speech or content.”

Zen Yogi: they reached out? Couldn't they just call him?
That's probably what they did, mate, but that's New English for the same thing.
Zen Yogi: what's the point?
They think it makes them seem more touchie feelie or seem smarter by using more words.
Zen Yogi: that's not much of a point, Silas
That's a fact but that's how they like to play it, Yogi.
The general impression from Fox is they want to set the idea that the offer by Flynt is illegal. They don't spill it but there's likely the thinking they can create the thinking Flynt is guilty of sedition but these are the same people who have been lauding free speech from coast to coast, often to the point of violence.
The Rockhouse doesn't believe anything from either team is particularly patriotic since Trump is flailing about as if his sole educational inspirations came from General Sline in "Spies Like Us" or General Ripper from "Dr Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." Both generals vehemently believed it's pointless to possess nuclear weapons if we do not use them.
The Rockhouse sees no patriotism in getting everybody wasted.
Larry Flynt has little chance of mustering an impeachment and the Rockhouse doesn't see that as particularly patriotic either but his concern and worry are logical relative to the prevailing absurdity. Trump has been making such a deal out of modernizing the country's nuclear weapons but his speeches have neglected one tiny detail.
Obama already did the modernization under his administration with the B61-12 nuclear weapon.
In May 2010 the National Nuclear Security Administration asked Congress for $40 million to redesign the bomb to enable the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II to carry the weapon internally by 2017.[ This version is designated Mod 12. The four hundred B61-12 bombs will be used by both tactical aircraft (such as the F-35) and strategic aircraft (such as the B-2) and the Tail Subassembly (TSA) will give them Joint Direct Attack Munition levels of accuracy, allowing the fifty kiloton warhead to have strategic effects from all carrying aircraft.[19] However, refitting the 400 weapons is now expected to cost over $10 billion. The B61 Mod 12 tail assembly contract was awarded to Boeing on November 27, 2012 for $178 million. Boeing will use their experience with the Joint Direct Attack Munition to yield JDAM equivalent accuracy in a nuclear bomb. This contract is only the first part of the billion dollar expense of producing and applying the tail kits, over and above the $10 billion cost to refurbish the warheads. The B61-12 uses an internal guidance system and can glide to its target. The bomb has four selectable yields: 0.3; 5; 10; and 50 kilotons.[24] On 1 July 2015, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) conducted the first of three flight tests of the B61-12 tail kit assembly.

Zen Yogi: I thought you said your intention is to ignore the politics so you can see beyond to the goodness?
That hasn't changed since this isn't much political and I just observe for the sake of the absurdity. Walking away from that takes no effort and all the less so when all of us are clear on the obvious goodness of getting the state to put away the nukes to be done with them.
Zen Yogi: disarmament?
Accept nothing less, mate. It's past a political situation when it affects everyone in the world.
Zen Yogi: can Larry Flynt stop him?
Probably not but it's a twisted effort and it's interesting to watch, particularly in the reactions to him. The flaw in thinking of impeachment is neglects to consider the next in Washington food chain are Mike Pence and Paul Ryan, two of the most singularly unimaginative people in Washington. They won't fix the problem and could easily make it worse.
While Trump isn't as intelligent as he loudly professes, he's streets ahead of those quomodocunquizing lickspittles so the Rockhouse sees no benefit in dealing with them instead.
Zen Yogi: you really love that quomodocunquizing
I do, mate. The vocabulary slips away but that word doesn't and it means willing to do anything for money. In any political or absurdist context, it has abundant applications.
Zen Yogi: peace
The finest goodness of all, mate.
