Woman says Alabama Senate nominee Roy Moore initiated sexual encounter when she was 14, he was 32

Can I say that while I believe Moore's vermin and absolutely deserves having his career ruined, I still have reservations about the sexual assault allegations?
Not to say I think they're untrue, but I just don't know either way. It seems a tyranny of sorts that anyone can have their entire life ruined by someone alleging they were sexually assaulted, whether or not it ends up being untrue.
In this case, though, couldn't have happened to a better guy.

Bob Menendez is a US senator currently under felony charges for bribery, fraud, conspiracy, violating the travel act, and lying to investigators. It's a pretty huge deal. No senator has been put under official bribery charges since 1982. ([URL]https://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/05/robert-menendez-trial-senate-new-jersey-242333[/URL])

[QUOTE]Republican senators and their advisers, in a flurry of phone calls, emails and text messages, discussed fielding a write-in candidate, pushing Alabama’s governor to delay the Dec. 12 special election or even not seating Mr. Moore at all should he be elected. In an interview, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, declined to say whether he would agree to seat Mr. Moore should he win. Mr. McConnell deferred a question about a possible write-in campaign by Senator Luther Strange, the current occupant of the seat, to Mr. Strange.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]The frenzy reflected not just the worry over the Senate seat once held by Jeff Sessions, now the attorney general, but also the broader danger of the Republican Party’s being associated with Mr. Moore.
If Doug Jones, the Democratic nominee, wins next month, Mr. McConnell’s majority will shrink to one, possibly imperiling the Republican push to overhaul the tax code and most everything else that lawmakers are aiming to do to reverse their spiral before the midterm elections. It could also raise at least the potential that Democrats could seize control of the Senate in 2018, by holding all of their endangered seats and winning Republican seats in Nevada and Arizona.
But if Mr. Moore wins, the party faces a potentially more untenable prospect: welcoming a child-molesting suspect into their ranks, a move that every Republican candidate would have to answer for. That raised memories of Todd Akin, the Republican Senate candidate who in 2012 said victims of “legitimate rape” rarely got pregnant, an assertion that Democrats hung around every candidate that year.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE][URL="http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/359715-gop-scrambles-to-respond-to-moore-allegations"]The Republican National Committeeman from Alabama, Paul Reynolds, said that he trusts Vladimir Putin more than Moore’s accusers.[/URL] “My gosh, it's The Washington Post. If I’ve got a choice of putting my welfare into the hands of Putin or The Washington Post, Putin wins every time,” he told The Hill. “This is going to make Roy Moore supporters step up to the plate and give more, work more and pray more.”

The chairman of the Bibb County Republican Party, Jerry Pow, said that he’d vote for Moore even if it was proved he committed a sex crime against an underage girl. “I would vote for Judge Moore because I wouldn’t want to vote for Doug,” he told the Toronto Star, referring to Democratic candidate Doug Jones. “I’m not saying I support what he did.”[/QUOTE]
Republicans would defend shagging puppies if it meant keeping power from people who don't own a fraction of the world's wealth or don't have pink white skin.

[quote]A former prosecutor who once worked alongside embattled Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore in the early 1980s told CNN it was "common knowledge" at the time that Moore dated high school girls.
"It was common knowledge that Roy dated high school girls, everyone we knew thought it was weird," former deputy district attorney Teresa Jones told CNN in comments aired Saturday. "We wondered why someone his age would hang out at high school football games and the mall ... but you really wouldn't say anything to someone like that."[/quote]
[quote]Conservative talk radio host Sean Hannity asked Moore Friday on his show whether Moore would have dated teenagers when he was in his 30s.
"No, not generally," said Moore, who also said he always asked the permission of a girl's mother before dating her.[/quote]

If my party was about to support a FUCKING pedophile, I would switch parties or go independent and give them my "resignation" of the political party, which will involve the middle finger and a couple of fuck yous.

THIS is why Trump won the election. It doesn't take much to keep Democrats from voting for one of their own, but NOTHING will stop a great deal of Republicans from voting for their candidate.
Republicans are willing to stand with Nazis over Democrats, stands to reasons they'd support pedophiles too.
I really hate how late all these allegations are coming. I can understand why someone wouldn't want to speak out but it really complicates things when it's decades later.
Not just in terms of evidence, after such a long time someone can hardly even be considered the same person any more. Even if it's legally possible to prosecute this much later, as it is with some very serious crimes, it's difficult to say if there's any point.
Even if they're found guilty, what do you do then? Do they even need rehabilitation any longer?
Is there still a significant threat that they might do it again? If they haven't done it in the whole period since then they probably aren't a risk, but just because no one's accused them of it doesn't mean they haven't so who can really say?
It's just such an unfortunate clusterfuck of a situation.

Sean Hannity had Roy Moore as a guest on his radio show last week, and Hannity asked his viewers to give Moore the benefit of the doubt. This lead to several companies pulling their ads from Hannity's Fox News show, including the coffeemaker company Keurig.
In response, some Hannity fans started a Keurig boycott...

Waiting for some car companies to do something these snowflakes don't agree with so we can see something really valuable being mindlessly destroyed.
People hate on social media but it lets me know that people out there really are dumb enough to smash their overpriced coffeemakers purely in the name of virtue signalling.
People are destroying their Keurig machines and vowing off the brand for good?
Let it never be said that Sean Hannity has done no good.

Buying company's product to boycott the company for boycotting a radio personality for endorsing a pedophile. We really are living in a South Park episode. I'll probably have to take a short break from Polidicks or my logic circuits will get fried trying to decipher right wing logic.

Roy Moore is allegedly banned from a mall in Gadsden, Alabama for badgering teenage girls
[url]https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/locals-were-troubled-by-roy-moores-interactions-with-teen-girls-at-the-gadsden-mall[/url]
[quote]This past weekend, I spoke or messaged with more than a dozen people—including a major political figure in the state—who told me that they had heard, over the years, that Moore had been banned from the mall because he repeatedly badgered teen-age girls. Some say that they heard this at the time, others in the years since. These people include five members of the local legal community, two cops who worked in the town, several people who hung out at the mall in the early eighties, and a number of former mall employees. (A request for comment from the Moore campaign was not answered.) Several of them asked that I leave their names out of this piece. The stories that they say they’ve heard for years have been swirling online in the days since the Post published its report. “Sources tell me Moore was actually banned from the Gadsden Mall and the YMCA for his inappropriate behavior of soliciting sex from young girls,” the independent Alabama journalist Glynn Wilson wrote on his Web site on Sunday. (Wilson declined to divulge his sources.) Teresa Jones, a deputy district attorney for Etowah County in the early eighties, told CNN last week that “it was common knowledge that Roy dated high-school girls.” Jones told me that she couldn’t confirm the alleged mall banning, but said, “It’s a rumor I’ve heard for years.”[/quote]
