Biden AG nominee Garland wrote in 70s that song about ‘military rape’ was ‘hilarious’

[Counselor706]

President Joe Biden’s attorney general nominee Merrick Garland as a college student at Harvard University wrote in a review of a musical that a song about rape was one of the play’s “hilarious group numbers.”

In a Harvard Crimson article published January 22, 1976, he wrote in a critique of the play (emphasis added):

A combination of factors, however, keep the vocal problems from becoming disastrous. Most important are the Jones-Schmidt songs themselves, simple and engaging melodies with a few tender ballads like “Try to Remember” and some hilarious group numbers like “it Depends on what You Pay,” which provides a shopping list of rapes for sale (e.g. “the military rape–it’s done with drums and a great brass band.”

progressives have recently pushed for the banning of the cartoon character Pepe Le Pew — who first appeared in 1945 — for perpetuating “rape culture,” and the banning of Dr. Seuss for books written in the 1930s.

Lies.

Also, you capitalize the first word of a song. Dipshit monkeys that run that hot mess of an alt-right site.


miles, good job on using your TalkRadio av for your Counselor alt.

We need to get Garland in office and starting all of those needed prosecutions of Counselor's heroes and heroines.

Must be too old to meet today’s qualifications for locker room banter

From 2005, released before Donald Trump was elected as the twice impeached president of the United States. (Remember when miles posted his thread about this?)

Unknown : "She used to be great, she's still very beautiful."

Trump : "I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her, and I failed. I'll admit it. I did try and fuck her, she was married."

Unknown : "That's huge news there."

Trump : "No, no, Nancy. No this was [inaudible] and I moved on her very heavily in fact I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said I'll show you where they have some nice furniture. I moved on her like a bitch. I couldn't get there and she was married. Then all-of-a-sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony tits and everything. She's totally changed her look."

Bush : "Your girl's hot as shit. In the purple."

Multiple voices : "Whoah. Yes. Whoah."

Bush : "Yes. The Donald has scored. Whoah my man."

Trump : "Look at you. You are a pussy."

Bush : "You gotta get the thumbs up."

Trump : "Maybe it's a different one."

Bush : "It better not be the publicist. No, it's, it's her."

Trump : "Yeah that's her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."

Bush : "Whatever you want."

Trump : "Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

Bush : "Yeah those legs. All I can see is the legs."

Trump : "It looks good."

Bush : "Come on shorty."

Trump : "Oh nice legs huh."

Bush : "Get out of the way honey. Oh that's good legs. Go ahead."

Trump : "It's always good if you don't fall out of the bus. Like Ford, Gerald Ford, remember?"

[As Mr Trump attempts to leave the vehicle he struggles with the door]

Bush : "Down below, pull the handle."

[Mr Trump exits the bus and greets actress Arianne Zucker]

Trump : "Hello, how are you? Hi."

Zucker : "Hi Mr Trump. How are you?"

Trump : "Nice seeing you. Terrific. Terrific. You know Billy Bush?"

Bush : "Hello nice to see you. How are you doing Arianne?"

Zucker : "I'm doing very well thank you. [Addressing Trump] Are you ready to be a soap star?"

Trump : "We're ready. Let's go. Make me a soap star."

Bush : "How about a little hug for the Donald, he's just off the bus?"

Zucker : "Would you like a little hug darling?"

Trump : "Absolutely. Melania said this was okay."

Bush : "How about a little hug for the Bushy, I just got off the bus? Here we go, here we go. Excellent."

[Mr Bush gesticulates towards Ms Zucker as he turns to Mr Trump]

Bush : "Well you've got a good co-star here."

Trump : "Good. After you. Come on Billy, don't be shy."

Bush : "Soon as a beautiful woman shows up he just, he takes off. This always happens."

Trump : "Get over here, Billy."

Zucker : "I'm sorry, come here."

Bush : "Let the little guy in there. Come on."

Zucker : "Yeah, let the little guy in. How you feel now, better? I should actually be in the middle."

Bush : "It's hard to walk next to a guy like this."

Zucker : "Wait. Hold on."

[Ms Zucker changes position and walks between the two men]

Bush : "Yeah you get in the middle. There we go."

Trump : "Good. That's better."

Zucker : "This is much better."

Trump : "That's better."

Bush : "Now if you had to choose, honestly, between one of us. Me or the Donald, who would it be?"

Trump : "I don't know, that's tough competition."

Zucker : "That's some pressure right there."

Bush : "Seriously, you had to take one of us as a date."

Zucker : "I have to take the Fifth [Amendment of the US Constitution] on that one."

Bush : "Really?"

Zucker : "Yep. I'll take both."

[They reach the end of the corridor]

Trump : "Which way?"

Zucker : "Make a right. Here we go."

Bush : "Here he goes. I'm gonna leave you here. Give me my microphone."

Trump : "Okay. Okay. Oh, you're finished?"

Bush : "You're my man. Yeah."

Trump : "Oh. Good."​
