Yeah, there’s some of these things you could say are about poor boundaries or mistakes or something, but appearing naked in front of someone who hasn’t asked for it is a pretty bright line. If you’re doing that it’s not a mistake.

I don’t dent that there’s a Melcher connection. Everyone agrees that he chose Melchers former house to scare him. But I don’t think that this was some rational revenge plot.

This isn’t the only child sex trafficker who Trump knows. He was good buddies with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein who pled guilty to recruiting young teenage girls for sex.

I doubt it. Manson knew that Terry Melcher didn’t live there anymore so it’s not like it’s a straight revenge thing. He may have been intending to scare Melcher but I think he also genuinely believed his own shit. f this were just about Melcher then why kill the LaBiancas?

The murders were also random and for no logical reason. People could understand and deal with folks being killed in a robbery or for revenge or something, but this was just crazy. There seemed to be no real motive for it and that made it extra frightening to people

I agree. however, I think that Bannon will be able to hand wave away this defeat, at least in the short-term. Bannon will likely, and with some justification, argue that this is not a defeat for his ideals but is rather the result of Roy Moore’s personal failings and or some big liberal conspiracy to get him

Even aside from the sexual assault allegations, Moore doesn’t have a shred of integrity and is nothing but a narcissist. If he actually cared about the ideals that he professes, instead of just himself he would solve this problem by saying that he will resign and allow the Republican Governor of Alabama to appoint…

Yeah, cause women of color never support scumbags

I saw a documentary about an attempt to unionize strippers at one club and one of the problems is that they couldn’t get a national union to organize them. he unions didn’t want to touch sex work.

I thought the story about her mom’s song coming on the radio as she was making out with some guy was cuter.

It’s not a poison pill and it wasn’t put in there by Trump who’s not playing any kind of role in the tax reform process. The reason that they sunset most of the middle class tax cuts is because under Senate rules they can only add a certain amount to the deficit over the course of the decade. So, they have to find…

Oh I could still see them doing the wrong thing and voting for Moore. This is Alabama after all. And there have been quotes from people ayaibf that they’d rather vote for a child molester than a Democrat. But I think it’s not crazy to speculate that Jones might win.

I still think that a big part of this for him though is the fantasy of courtship and the idea that he’s some kind of Don Juan seducing these girls. When you listen to these accusations against these serial predators it seems clear that a lot of them have this scripted fantasy that they’re acting out. Louis CK liked to…

You’re right I forgot about that most recent victim.

The relevance of the pee pee tape isn’t that it would somehow be disqualifying. Who cares if Trump likes to engage in watersports. As someone who hates him, I would certainly laugh at that and make fun of him for it but it’s not like engaging in consensual kink with some sex workers disqualifies him from the…

It was written as opposition research. Just because something is opposition research doesn’t mean it’s false. It usually works a lot better if it’s actually true.

I think that’s premature. A lot of the details in the dossier have been shown to be true, so it could very well all be true. I thinknpeople want to dismiss it because the big things are so salacious and because they haven’t been backed up, yet. But back in 2016 when Clinton first mentioned that the Russians were…

I certainly have a little faith in the morality of the majority of Alabama voters. After all they elected Donald Trump. However, this case seems like it might be different. I believe that the most recent poll showed Doug Jones neck-and-neck with Roy Moore. Some journalists also pointed out that after each of these…

Although Moore doesn’t seem to have taken any efforts to hide his interest in young girls, he may have been smart enough not to shit where he ate. Perhaps he didn’t actually use his official duties to procure victims, he certainly seems to have found enough just around town. Also, in the cases we’ve heard about so…

Well we already have one woman who says he sexually assaulted her, and not in the context of a “consensual” date like the 14 year old victim says happened to her. There’s garaunteed to be other sexual violence in his past. This isn’t a one off case where he dated some teenage girl. Pursuing teens was apparently a huge…
