President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Every time you think we've hit a new low, the bottom drops out.

Yes, these are accusations against Moore. But nobody seems to be saying it didn't happen. Instead they're saying sexual conduct with a 14--year-old is justified.

This is beyond disgusting. Even for Fox News and it's merry band of state-run media.

 

Some things are very predictable.
In order:
1) Conservative Christian hero Roy Moore says the charges are all lies concocted by the libruhl Washington Post. In so saying, he does not address whether he will sue in order to clear his name.
2) Alabama Republicans, whose party is, as we know, the one and only true party of Christian family values, say, "If he did it, it's not a big deal."

 

"Christian" in Alabamaese (and in much of Republicanese) means "older white men can do whatever they want, because Jesus was an old white guy, too."

 

I am absolutely beyond astounded. I’m too astounded to be outraged.

 

But what about Hillary's emails?

 

Y’all, the Moore stuff is no big deal because King David had a few hundred concubines. #HannityLogic

 

Mitch McConnell: still not an Alabama voter.

And Uranium One! Don't forget about Uranium One.

 

There's a month (33 days actually) until this election. Unlikely the story goes away. Much more likely more women come forward. That's been the pattern of these stories so far. And really, really unlikely James Comey writes a letter to the Congress about Doug Jones' email server. Moore has done almost no public appearances since the primary, because he's yellow. I wouldn't be surprised if all his appearances from now on are in heretic Christian, excuse me, evangelical churches who know the Trump administration won't enforce the law against such campaigning. There's nothing the heretics like better than wallowing in their sense of persecution. If only they WERE persecuted.

 

So tell me, how does someone who is below the age of consent give consent? This is statutory rape, and by a District Attorney at that. Hannity is going to sprain his back carrying that much water.
