You have an odd definition of fun. Frankly I don't think have ever been more embarrassed by our political system than I am right now.

+1, its sickening. Yet we are still in line to continue to elect dirtbags.

And even worse, after they are known, protecting the party becomes more important than ousting the offenders.

 

Party over Country, hooray.

Breaking: Woman who reached a settlement with O’Reilly over harassment allegations sued him and Fox News for defamation and breach of contract, saying that statements he and the network made violated the settlement and portrayed her as a liar and extortionist. Story to come.

Woman shares new evidence of relationship with Roy Moore when she was 17

 

Delray Beach, Fla. — Debbie Wesson Gibson was in her attic hauling out boxes of Christmas decorations last week when she noticed a storage bin she said she had forgotten about. Inside was a scrapbook from her senior year of high school, and taped to a page titled “Those Who Inspire” was a graduation card.

 

“Happy graduation Debbie,” it read in slanted cursive handwriting. “I wanted to give you this card myself. I know that you’ll be a success in anything you do. Roy.”

 

The inscription, Gibson said, was written by Roy Moore, the Alabama Republican nominee for U.S. Senate who in recent days has repeatedly denied the accounts of five women who told The Washington Post that he pursued them when they were teenagers and he was an assistant district attorney in his 30s. Since those allegations were published last month, four more women have come forward to allege that Moore made unwanted sexual advances. The accounts in The Post included those of Leigh Corfman, who said she was 14 when Moore touched her sexually, and Gibson, who said that she publicly dated Moore when she was 17 and he was 34, a relationship she said she “wore like a badge of honor” until she began reevaluating it in light of the accounts of other women, and now, Moore’s own denials.

Mitt gets it.

 

Mitt Romney‏Verified account @MittRomney 1h1 hour ago Roy Moore in the US Senate would be a stain on the GOP and on the nation. Leigh Corfman and other victims are courageous heroes. No vote, no majority is worth losing our honor, our integrity.

The only issue is he is literally the opposition of the sitting president.

One week to go, any predictions on Jones vs. Roy Moore?

 

It's still hard to imagine a Republican losing that seat, and the VA/NJ election results were pretty overwhelming, but all bets are off in the Deep South.

 

Moore wins easily and is seated by McConnell

Moore wins easily and is seated at the kids' table.

 

HATCH defends Trump endorsing Roy Moore: “I don't think he had any choice but to do that... that's the only Republican we can get down there.”

 

Adds that “many of the things he allegedly did were decades ago.”

I mean, at this point its comical. Fake christians and awful people.

Hours after President Donald Trump re-affirmed his support for embattled Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, the Republican National Committee has resumed its support and financial assistance to the Alabama Republican.

 

An RNC official confirmed the committee will resume its financial support to the Alabama Republican Party’s effort to elect Moore to the U.S. Senate, despite the allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

 

The official spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the internal deliberations. The reversal was first reported by Breitbart News.

Sigh

At any cost. Sad

There's clearly no bridge too far at this point. Fully backing a lawless, theocratic child predator from top to bottom.

The funny part was Trump pretending that having a rally in Pensacola, because it's technically in another state...doesn't constitute campaigning for Moore.

 

In fact, that particular city is closer to Montgomery than Tallahassee, and comprises something like 10-15% of the total AL media market (South AL).

 

 

Lara Trump -- Eric's wife -- even recorded a robocall that is making its way around Alabama. The President's daughter-in-law invites Alabamians to attend Trump's campaign rally in Pensacola, Florida.

 

Lara does not mention her father-in-law's endorsement of Moore, but, make no mistake, Trump's rally has everything to do with the Alabama Senate race. Pensacola is 15 miles from the Alabama border and even Alabama's GOP Chairman Terry Lanthan has urged Alabamians to attend the rally.

 

It's rather deflating that Laraa, who headed "Women for Trump" during the 2016 campaign, recorded that robocall. She has long insisted her father-in-law respects women. "This is a man who has always championed women," she told CNN. "I know that there is another narrative that people suggest out there," she said, adding that his support for women is why she decided "to come out to speak on behalf of this man."

Kneeling for anthem, bad.

Pedophilia, fine since we need his vote.

I like how they aren't even really denying it. It's just "well we don't think he has molested a child in a while, so it should be fine".

 

Every one in Government for the Democratic Party should be openly hostile towards Moore. They should refuse to talk or work in committee with him. They should walk out of every room that he speaks in. They should openly refer to him as child molester and they should remind the public every day that the GOP openly supporters and backs a child molester.

 

 

Moore is now changing his defense, claiming that he doesn't even know any of his five accusers despite two of them having written evidence from Moore himself and the other alleging a years-long family relationship. Moore has also openly admitted to first noticing his wife when he was attending her dance recital when she was 15 and he was in his 30's.

What I heard this morning is that he isn't rerunning for re-election, but he is serving out his term. Has that changed?

"Please elect my son"

 

That was my personal favorite part of this. Hooray for fiefdoms.
