He's a s***ty guy who needs to go away and not just be forgiven for realizing he's s***ty, but I'm not sure what would even make a "good" apology.

I dunno, it read like legitimate regret and introspection without asking for anything in return to me.

(against the accusers) The entire Alabama GOP coming out strongly in defense of kid touching is horrifying. Romney and McCain (and sorta Portman) are the only ones who have made unequivocal denunciations of Moore that I've seen. The rest have said weasel-word "if proven true" statements, knowing full well there isn't going to be a criminal case where the allegations get "proven" in court or something. Multiple, independent allegations with 30+ sources is about as good as you can get. Add Peter King from NY to the list of GOP people making a meaningful statement. He's putting the burden on Moore to disprove the allegations or step down within 48 hours. https://twitter.com/aseitzwald/status/929033173673152513

Trump judge nominee, 36, who has never tried a case, wins approval of Senate panel He's never tried a case and was unanimously deemed "unqualified" by the ABA, but hey he wrote blogs about how Clinton is evil and pledged allegiance to the NRA so that's all you need to get a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.

Mueller Probes Flynn’s Role in Alleged Plan to Deliver Cleric to Turkey Under alleged plan, ex-Trump adviser and his son were to be paid millions to forcibly remove Fethullah Gulen from U.S. and deliver him to Turkish custody So, basically a kidnapping plot?

I don't think so since it's mostly s***ting all over Moore and the Alabama GOP's response. The D and R threads have been intended for more partisan posting, not necessarily posting news about D or R.

Thirty sources, uncovered while reporting on a different story. It's not like they came out with accusations or wapo went hunting. I'm guessing the Alabama GOP had known for years and that's why they're all rushing out with their disgusting defenses of him. Greg, your boy hannity is on TV defending sexual contact with a 14 year old that Moore picked up outside her custody hearing as "consenual." Oh and his guest is claiming that the vast, vast majority of women who claim sexual assault or harassment are lying.

I expected weak denials of the Moore story, but I didn't expect the "well, actually" about the age of consent laws in Alabama in the 70's it outright defense of his actions. A child predator bigot is better than the guy who locked up the KKK for murdering children simply because Moore is a Republican. Sickening.

Kid-touching's okay as long as you've got an ( R ) next to your name!

more from Dale Hannity is also defending Moore, saying it's "just a he said, she said" thing

They're all old allegations past the statute of limitations and Trump has discovered that if you have no shame, you won't be held accountable. He did win the Presidency after bragging about getting away with sexually assaulting women because he's rich and famous, after all. There were some follow-up stories with them post-Weinstein https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/oc...arvey-weinstein

Rather than taking his defenders' "what's wrong with groping a 14 year old" line of defense, Moore has categorically denied the claims. He says he's going to sue WaPo for defamation, implicitly calling the four women on the record and the 30+ sources for the story all liars. (he won't, just like Trump never actually sued the NYT but the WH still maintains that the dozen women who have accused Trump of sexual assault are liars) Roy Moore is also fundraising off this story.

more from Daniel Dale Alabama GOP coming out strong in defense of child-targeting sex predator.

The fundamentalist bigotted kid-touching asshole's opponent is Doug Jones, the guy who successfully prosecuted the men who blew up a black church in Alabama in 1963, killing 4 girls. They had escaped justice for decades. An Alabama Senate race conjures the awful 1963 church bombing that killed 4 black girls So your choices are that guy, or the guy who molests children and got thrown off the Alabama Supreme Court twice for being an unlawful bigot.

Whitefish's repair work has failed, dropping the island back to only 18% generating capacity http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/09/us/puerto-ri...tage/index.html That 18% doesn't mean 18% of people have power. It means 18% of total possible power is being generated and distributed. It's mainly going to critical facilities like hospitals, meaning few homes actually have power nearly two months after the storm hit.
