Grab her by the pussy:
NEW: Fox host Jesse Watters just bragged on live TV that he lured a woman 14 years younger than him (who worked for him) by secretly ruining her tires and then offering her a ride. He was married at the time and is now married to the woman he lured. “It works like a charm.”

Lots of food for thought in this post. I wonder how long it will take before U.S. airlines start canceling flights because of staff being out with Covid.
It’s employee abuse to make staff work while crammed into small spaces with hundreds of potential infectors.
This is a great story about a campus rape by football players in the mid to late 1970s. One football player becomes a real hero in this. You need to read it.
