This is laughable, of course, because the Sombrero wasn’t here then, but 2nd, in this very thread, Weiner is addressed. Now, the circumstances in the Weiner v. Moore scenario are different, but neither belong in Congress. Both Dems and Pubs want that seat. Neither are above shenanigans to get it. I still would bet on whatever ‘Pub ends up high ticket. The “IF” that opened this thread proves the point of tribalism or zealotry or Patti Partisanship. Yep, sure does.

You LIE!!

Ever heard what a little kid says when playing alone with his toys Bob? You get a sort of color commentary, complete with monologue and sound effects. In his little world that tot is king, he determines the beginning and the end. That's the hit I get reading that stuff.

Nobody knows how many if any of the charges against Judge Moore are true or not true. One of the oldest political tricks in the book is to make a charge close to election day when it is too late for the one charged to properly respond. What made this one so bad was Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan's statements, which had the effect of being the last straw for wavering Moore supporters. They went on the offensive which of course benefited only one guy, Democrat and rabid liberal Doug Jones. So based on glorified rumor they've likely managed to change the balance of power in the Senate to the Democrats for the remainder of the Trump era. McCain, Corker and Flake are out, and with Strange/Moore out and Doug Jones in, Majority Leader Schumer anybody?

I'm telling you, I think McConnell may be in the early stages of dementia or something, and I don't know what to think about Paul Ryan. But Newt Gingrich said the matter, devoid of proof (which is exactly where we're at) should have been left up to the people of Alabama. If it were to prove that Roy Moore was guilty at some future date, given the people of Alabama in that case had elected him anyway, repercussions under Senate rules could have at that point been lawfully imposed. In the meantime, McCain, Corker, Flake (and possibly Ron Johnson and Susan Collins) should come out of the closet and switch party affiliation.
