I hate it that these people kept silent this long.
What changed just now? |
Republicans don’t want this cretin in the senate. He’s too much trouble and can’t be contained. |
He wants to move up the Big League. |
The women, Bozo. What changed for them just now? |
Things that are swept under the rug in Alabama start coming out when the national spotlight gets turned on. |
There’s a tectonic shift following the Weinstein revelations. Victims finally feel empowered enough to challenge abusive men in positions of authority and power. The now see the pattern of abuse. They’re not doing it alone. |
| Rootin Tootin Roy better hope no more women start coming out or he will be in even deeper trouble. This guy is the Harvey Weinstein of Alabama politics. Maybe a quick trip to outpatient rehab can cure him too! |
| To be fair to Moore, the 14 year old was unusually tall, probably looked closer to 16-18 when he did it. And the age of consent in Alabama is 16. And the dating pool is/was quite shallow as most women in the 70s in Alabama were married by their late teens. My grandmother was married at 17, the week after she graduated from high school. |
He became a national story so national newspapers went down there. In the course of investigating something else they heard the rumors and tracked down the women. They didn't go looking to tell their story. Perhaps because the dbag has been a powerful judge and political figure, regularly accused of corruption in their state. |
If every allegation is true, then Moore was a pseudo-pedo and Bill is a rapist, right? |
At fourteen she was in serious risk of being a spinster. Thanks Roy for showing her all that she missed.
|
Gee, thanks for the demographic analysis of the dating pool in Alabama in the 70s! How old are “you” and how old are the girls you’re dating in your homespun fable? |
|
So now we just cancel elections?
Alabama state law gives the governor broad authority to set the date of special elections, NYT reports Gov. Kay Ivey may order a new date for the election—sometime early next year—giving Republicans time to ease Roy Moore from the race. |
What happens when people mail in the absentee ballots that have already gone out? |
Read the WaPo story. Then read it again. Do some thinking about how the accusers would be able to construct a time machine to travel back to 1979 to plant the seeds of the story for corroboration nearly four decades later, and then read it for a third time. |
