What if I told you an assistant DA in his mid 30s left his job with no explanation to move to Texas for a year then left the US entirely for Australia to live on a cattle ranch.

One thing that has gotten lost in the story about Moore is that his behaviour isn’t that rare. It’s a big part of evangelical culture. ‘Courting’ of teenagers by adults is seen as godly and moral. Hell, the duck dynasty guy said that women should be married off at 15. Moore is not alone, he just got caught. That’s why…

It isn’t normal anywhere. Perhaps he pulled something like a “this is the District Attorney, and I must speak to Jane Doe. No I can’t discuss the matter with anyone else...” kind of high-pressure move (implying something grave had happened), which would be a gross abuse of authority.

“Ali’s from Canada” nearly made me spit take. This was great. I’m sick of news people sitting there while ridiculous statements and claims are made unchallenged. Their job is to challenge them! Infuriating.

These incredible women who have come forward deserve our gratitude. And I feel we can do our small part to help their cause by supporting Roy Moore’s opponent. In addition to not being Roy Moore, Doug Jones supports affordable health care and Planned Parenthood. Please consider donating even $5.

That was awful to watch. The lawyer now... is he basically saying... yes his client was with a 14 year old girl.... and it’s ok because it’s acceptable in other countries anyway?

I keep having a creepy feeling with these Moore stories that we’re not getting the full picture yet. Like when Richardson describes that he called her at school just to ask her what she was doing. Everything we’ve heard so far points to him being an obsessive stalker at the very least. But I have a gut feeling that he…

I like that she was in trig class and he took it as a sin to call her. Cos, you know, he thought that she was real pretty and liked her tan.

Apologies if this has been posted before, but Moore’s equally disgusting lawyer tried to insinuate Velshi would have no problem with dating a teenage girl because of his ostensibly Muslim background. Stephanie Ruhle tore him a new one:

I’m sure more moore stuff will come out showing signs he is a sociopath. Alot of men that behave the way Moore did in his thirties are called immature or perverts but the thing is he’s also wreckless. He is superweird about god/law stuff so you know he is compulsive and thinks a martyr jesus complex will work for him…

It’s weird - I’ve been a pretty thoughtful and bold feminist for some time now, and yet there are still pieces of my past that elude me. When I was sixteen, I was at a live-in Catholic informal liberal arts program where we started out with 20 students and ended up with 13 by the end of the year (so small and…

What will happen, if things go well, is that they will consult with someone like my friend Carol Buckley who heads Elephant Aid International and Elephant Rescue North America, her new sanctuary in Georgia. Carol founded The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald Tn over thirty years ago. She or someone equally skilled would…

Is this actually a travelling circus, or a very small zoo with animals that sometimes travel? I ask because the visions of an elephant in a circus are (deservedly) very negative, but I have a small zoo with some travelling animals close to me, and they do excellent work. The two situations are really not similar at…

Well I be done seen about everything, when I see an elephant file.

My gut is its more like Alabamans would rather have a pedophile in the office then a democrat.

For a story that happened 30+ years ago, I’m shocked at how much evidence there is for this. Like being banned from the mall for creeping on teenage girls. Plus, on top of that, it’s clear that Roy Moore is just lying out of his ass-mouth, saying he never met one of the accusers, was never at that restaurant, while…

I am still watching this interview (keep pausing the dvr to answer comments). This asshole just tried to make a point defending older men with girls (after hearing the clip of Moore saying he always “asked their mothers”) as acceptable in other cultures BY SAYING TO ALI VELSHI (who’s from Toronto), “well I just looked…

He doesn’t believe the allegations against Moore, claiming there are holes in the accusers’ stories.

Read the letter Moore’s lawyer sent local AL media outlets. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/11/14/roy_moore_s_lawyer_sent_a_apocalypse_of_a_letter_threatening_local_media.html

Meanwhile, one Trenton Garmin, a lawyer working for the Moores was just on with Ali Velshi & Stephanie Ruhle threatening to sue the Washington Post and other media outlets publushing the Moore exposes - on behalf of Mrs. Moore, because “as she’s not a public person” this is slanderous to HER. (But he’s really arguing…
