I hear Beetlejuice is so good Rep. Boebert got finger banged in a theater full of kids by her date while she groped his junk. In a theater full of kids. Out in the open. Literally in front of children.

That's pretty rich coming from the party that stands by Susanna Gibson (D), a woman who financed her campaign by selling porn.
Howard Stern has made a career out of being a deviant who objectifies and disparages women but because of his woke rhetoric, he doesn't face demonetization on youtube, rumble nor the wrath of cancel culture or the met too# movement.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
It just like Russell Brand. Nobody cared about his whoremongering until he repented and started to take on some conservative values.
I beg to differ. Like many others, I found Brand's style of 'humour' increasingly repellent, starting a good few years ago.
He was pushed into resigning from presenting on the TV channel BBC2 after the incident described below FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. It needs to be said that the actor Andrew Sachs was 78 at the time that Brand harassed him with obscene phone messages about his granddaughter, repeated on air. Not a nice person at all.
Russell was making money on youtube the entire time he was out doing this kind of stuff. It's only now that he is banned from youtube and being deplatformed.
The first time Russell Brand really dipped his toe into the water of conspiracy theories, in early 2021, the effect was swift - a YouTube channel whose videos normally received about 100,000 views was suddenly visited by more than a million people. It won him a new income stream and a fresh army of fans.
It is also where, on 15 September, he posted a video denying accusations of rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse between 2006 and 2013.
So how did Brand get so big on YouTube?
"BOMBSHELL lab leak report," his YouTube grid now screams. "You've Been LIED To About Why Ukraine War Began". Scroll a little and, "Bill Gates Has Been HIDING This And It's ALL About To Come Out". The channel serves as a time capsule of Brand's latest persona, honed since the Covid pandemic.
A veteran of the streaming platform, for roughly a decade he has posted on a broad range of topics, from politics to celebrity. In lockdown, he posted a video of him making soap with his wife.
But it was not until early 2021, when the tone of his videos shifted, that his audience started rising more sharply - almost doubling to nearly five million by the end of that year.
His following on YouTube now stands at 6.6 million, alongside multimillion-strong followings on X, formerly known as Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.
The door to this new fan base might have creaked open when Brand first discussed "the Great Reset" - a vague set of proposals from an influential think tank to rebuild the global economy after Covid. Parallel to this real report, a hazy theory that this represented proof of a plot to control the world's population and strip people of their freedoms, emerged.
At the time, Brand did not seem to be promoting that view.
"There are some people out there that believe in shady global cabals running things from behind the scenes. Now I don't believe that - I believe that there are plain visible economic interests that dominate the direction of international policy," he said.
Nevertheless, the very mention earned his video more than a million views, compared with the average 100,000 to 200,000 his videos were getting at that time. His next video on the Great Reset was watched almost three million times.
Subsequent video titles shouted: "The Great Reset is HAPPENING" and is "NOT a conspiracy!", each again racking up between one and three million views.
Words like "lie", "hid" and "exposed" began to appear more often in headlines.
Brand's coverage of wider politics, celebrity and relationships started to take a back seat.
Covid and vaccines, the idea that institutions are lying to you, and later the Ukraine war came to the fore.
His channel's transformation was complete. And it worked for Brand - his following grew much more rapidly than before.
"Leaders tend to be created by followers rather than the other way round," says Dr Carol Jasper, a social psychologist at the University of Stirling.
"I suspect Brand has been emboldened by his following, encouraged by the popularity and motivated to continue," she says, adding that making money could have been another incentive.
Social media analytics company Social Blade estimated Brand could be making up to £4,000 per video.
YouTube announced on Tuesday it had stopped Brand earning money from his videos.
It looks like he has only had a significant and financial profitable youtube presence for about the last two or three years.

You're making my case. If Russell Brand were being banned because of the rape allegations, why was he not banned at the time this was happening. Why would being banned depend on whether he was making a little or a lot of money on youtube and not whether he had violated the laws of the metoo# movement? The real reason Russell is being banned is because youtube now disagrees with his politics. It's the same reason Howard Stern gets away with treating women the way he does. He pays lip service to the leftist priesthood on COVID and climate change. That's enough for Soros, big tech, and the deep state to overlook his demeaning of women on air.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

I presume that 'this happening' refers to Brand's coercive sexual behaviour with women? Then the answer is that while the coercive behaviour (to the point of actual rape) now appears to have taken place for a considerable time, including time when he was beginning to make a lot of money from YouTube, no woman had yet summoned up the considerable courage required to denounce the said behaviour in public.
Why would being banned depend on whether he was making a little or a lot of money on youtube and not whether he had violated the laws of the metoo# movement?
Sorry - what are "the laws of the metoo# movement" that you don't like? Is it stuff like "if you rape women you are a bad guy and deserve to be shamed and punished"? Sounds great to me!
