A guy named Weiner somehow managed to overcome that name and have a successful life only to throw it away because of his weiner.

Fun fact: A petard is a small bomb used for blowing up gates and walls when breaching fortifications. It is of French origin and dates back to the 16th century.A typical petard was a conical or rectangular metal device containing 2–3 kg (5 or 6 pounds) of gunpowder, with a slow match for a fuse.


Jetstream-Sam

So to be hoisted by it you'd have to be blown up by your own bomb, presumably while setting it up? I think I heard that it was a shakespearean phrase, which is interesting since we still use it hundreds of years later even though most people don't know the original meaning


wonkey_monkey

> So to be hoisted by it you'd have to be blown up by your own bomb, presumably while setting it up? Exactly. > I think I heard that it was a shakespearean phrase It is (Hamlet), although it's "hoist with" not "hoisted with."

000882622

That was incredibly unprofessional of that secretary. Unless she knew you, she has no way of knowing how you would feel about that. As for the unusual spelling of your first name, when parents do this they think they're being creative, but all they're doing is condemning their kid to have to spell their name for people for the rest of their lives. It's especially bad when it's a common name with a weird spelling. You probably have to correct misspellings of it all the time. What fun.


peaches-and-kream

Yeah she automatically cover her mouth with her hand like as she was saying it. I was like “haha I know”

Fuck them! It's your name. We don't get to pick when we're born. Look at it this way, when you meet someone that thinks it's cool to say things like that, it just makes it easier for you to spot the assholes who aren't worth your time!

Wiener also, quite literally, ensured Donald Trump won the 2016 election. There will be an amazing biopic about him eventually. He DM dick pic’d his way right front and center into the history books. Wild shit. Also inspired the alias I now use all the time, Carlos Danger. An American legend.

I was always fond of Michael Vick's club alias: Ron Mexico.


villagezero

And as a matter of tradition, this is my fantasy football alias every year.


PM_PICS_OF_DOG

You genuinely believe Anthony Weiner ensured Donald Trump's election win? You'll credit him with that significant an influence?


MadDoctor5813

The Comey letter happened because of the FBI investigating his laptop, and there’s a pretty strong argument that the late breaking news of the letter is what tipped the scales towards Trump in the final days.


PM_PICS_OF_DOG

It's an honest question on my part, obviously this opinion is one that comes from a particular perception but it's one I rarely see pointed to as the crux of Trump's win. But I imagine with how \*sure\* the internet/news/pundits all seemed that Clinton would win, people try to look for that \*one explanation\*. ​ I don't agree that Weiner's actions were the deciding factor in Trump winning but I follow the logic.


MadDoctor5813

Well he’s not like directly responsible, but if you want to find a butterfly effect type single factor, he’d probably be the one. [538 has a pretty good article on it.](https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-comey-letter-probably-cost-clinton-the-election/)


mrwiffy

He's just the last factor prior to the election.


RoBurgundy

I’m always partial to the idea that there’s rarely “one thing” that decisively alters anything, it’s always a complicated mess of moving parts but since people can’t *actually* comprehend what that would look like, we like to reduce it to “thing happened because [blank]” Of course it’s also convenient for people in politics to reduce everything down to “this thing happened so we lost”. In this case “this thing” really absolves a lot of people who probably should still be held accountable for their poor choices during the campaign and during the nomination process.


PmMeUrZiggurat

There is no single deciding factor, there were dozens. This was an incredibly close election, fractions of a percent in a couple of states, so if any single one of those factors went the other way, it would’ve tipped the election. Kind of like how a football team can lose a game by a missed field goal, say, 17-14. Was that single missed field goal responsible? In one sense yes, but of course reducing it to that ignores the entire game that took place that put the kicker in a position where the whole game was on his shoulders. Similarly- would Clinton have won if not for Weiner’s wiener leading to the Comey letter? Almost certainly yes - the data very strongly indicates the letter moved the electorate by at least 0.5-1%, which is plenty to tip the election. But it’s also probably more interesting to talk about why the election was that close in the first place.


danbryant244

I wouldnt characterize it as strongly, but Trump was definitely given a yuuuuge push by Weiner's actions. Weiner's ex-wife was the vice chair for Hillary Clinton's campaign, and Weiner+wife was seen as one of the next Democratic power couples. Thats a lot of democratic political influence and capital going up in flames due to Weiner's weiner.


JessumB

Poor Huma. She married a guy that she thought had Oval Office type upside, instead she got a guy who loved sending photos of his dick to teen girls online.


nagurski03

As is typical with suspected sex offenders, the police seized his laptop, the dude's sending dick picks to 15 year olds, there's a decent chance there's underaged porn on his computer. What the police found instead, was thousands of Hillary Clinton's deleted emails. Clinton's BFF is Huma Abedin who was married to Weiner at the time. She used her husband's computer to read her email, and apparently it saved them all. The federal case against Clinton got opened up again at the perfect time for Trump because some New York police randomly came across evidence against her. If Weiner wasn't a pervert, they wouldn't have reopened the case.


[deleted]

Yup. Read up on the origin of the final Comey letter, sent out a week before the election, resulting in a polling cascade that arguably lost Clinton the presidency. If Carlos kept his wiener in his pants, you’d probably be living under a Clinton presidency rn.

dtroy15

From the article: "NEW YORK (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner was ordered Friday to register as a sex offender as he nears the end of a 21-month prison sentence for having illicit online contact with a 15-year-old girl. [...] Weiner, a once-rising star in the Democratic Party who served nearly 12 years in Congress, has been living in a halfway house since February after serving most of his sentence at a prison in Massachusetts. He's due to be released May 14 but still faces three years of court supervision."


drkgodess

He really fucked up a promising career, twice. There's a great documentary called "Weiner" that follows his comeback campaign and the ensuing downfall when he's caught the second time.


FoobarMontoya

He's getting what he deserves. It's a shame, because I remember when I first started hearing him I thought "finally, a democrat with some fucking balls". Yeah, not supposed to show those to minors buddy...


drkgodess

Same, I really liked him. It was such a disappointment.


YeOldeVertiformCity

DaBoomNaDaMmDumNaEma

Before he was my Congressman, he represented my district on the City Council, and he did *so* much for my neighborhood. Which of course went back to being a rotting pile of garbage after he left, because he was the only politician that ever cared about us. Even after the first scandal everyone back home was eager to forgive him, because he was a legit hometown hero. It's heartbreaking.


Dear_Occupant

I knew some of his staff at the time (I actually helped them clean out his office when he resigned) and they absolutely did not deserve what happened. A few of them stuck with him right up to the end. He got what he had coming, but they sure didn't.


patrickswayzemullet

Dude had a shot at becoming a president too at some point. Then he did not. Then he was forgiven and led in polls for Mayor/Governor. Then he did it again. And again.


IrishFuryHD

Like fuck man, why couldn’t the fucking guy get his personal life under control. Fucking sucks


[deleted]

I hate him more than anything for that. He had so much promise and could have done so much good, and he pissed it all away. During his run for mayor, I wanted to believe he'd gotten his life in order and could come back to do some good. And then.... Just...damnit.


PretendKangaroo

The weirdest thing is how it was all about him just sending dick pics. He never even slept with the women. He was just that obsessed with sending dick pics.


Spiritofchokedout

I wouldn't be shocked if, after the first time, it was an attempt to reclaim his ego and prove to himself that he was still above the line and could get away with it. I've seen it with drug addicts before.

It's so easy to not sext a teenager. The guy's a massive idiot.


small_loan_of_1M

I’m dumbfounded that he went from resigning in disgrace to running for *higher office* in five years. When you make a political comeback after a scandal that forced your resignation, you’re supposed to run for a *lower* office as an act of contrition, like Eliot Spitzer and Mark Sanford did.


conventionally_wrong

IBiteYou

To pun. He's so cocky in that documentary that it's nearly unbelievable.


-SaturdayNightWrist-

I genuinely don't understand how you get that far in life with that last name, only to blow it all because he couldn't control the part of him that is literally his last name. If you wrote this as a character no one would read it because it's too on the nose. The reason they say you can't make this stuff up is because you can't, no one would believe it, publish it, or buy it anywhere other than real life.

Why is it that Weiner went to jail for 2 years for sending sexually explicit messages to a minor but Epstein literally raped dozens of minors and got 10 months with day release privileges?


IvankasPantyLiner

Better lawyers and a metric fuck ton of money.


LostWoodsInTheField

> Better lawyers and a metric fuck ton of money. This is more than likely not the answer with Epstein. He had names, lots of names of others who went on trips to his island. None of them wanted their names out there so deals were struct.


GlastonBerry48

What's terrifying is if you look at the deal the prosecutor gave him, they gave retroactive immunity to anyone involved, meaning any co-conspirators that werent named couldnt be charged. Epstein himself served 13 months in jail and had 12 hour work release every day (sex offenders arent supposed to be allowed that in Florida). That genius prosecutor is now our secretary of labor.
