The Moore faction of republicans hate McConnell anyway. I think him opposing Moore is not going to have the intended effect.

I wondered if there would be more. I just wish it wasn't Gloria Allred. I feel like her name has such a taint on things (disclaimer: I really know nothing about her)

I don't think the intended effect is necessarily to change AL voters minds. It's to first try and get Moore to drop out so they can run someone else which isn't likely. And secondly to sever any perceived ties between Moore and the Senate GOP in advance of other elections. McConnell might not be able to get Moore out (we'll see how hard he actually tries other avenues like a write-in campaign) but he doesn't want Moore pulling down other campaigns.

Omg Stephen Miller's face in this picture. He definitely looks like the type to jump into a girl's track race to prove the superiority of men.

You're right– I should have simply said that I didn't trust the source. I thought that when I was asked to clarify I made that clear, but that should have been what I led with. Or maybe just try to stop assuming male sexual assault victims are lying for political gain. I'm not sure where you're getting that. This victim happens to be male, but that had nothing to do with my initial reaction. I can't see any pattern of my posts that would lead you to believe this. This is feeling personal. I'm not your enemy.

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. As pathetic as this is, until Mueller is done, we need Sessions to stay in his place because whomever 45 appoints next would not be under any obligation to not interfere with the investigation.

I don't even know if that's legal or if Sessions would do it, but agreed 100%.

This is verrrrrry interesting. McConnell could green light a Senate hearing. She's willing to testify under oath.

Seriously, that press conference will break your heart. It takes so much courage to do that.

Commentary on the Menendez deadlock, with a note about Mueller at the end: Also, does it temporarily confuse anyone else to hear about a Menendez trial, especially if you're watching the L&O True Crime series on the brothers? Or is it just me?

I'm sure she knows, and that makes this all the more inspiring that she came forward. (I'm not sure 'inspiring' is the right word but I hope you guys know what I'm trying to say.)

I just saw a clip of her press conference. That poor woman. Also it sounds like his behavior towards her was escalated. So who knows how many other teens he did this too?

Honestly, I will not give an inch to any republican, the men especially, who sit here and say now that Moore should step down. Fuck them. They allowed a fucking predator to be President, they have a shitty record of excusing disgusting behavior. They can fuck right off. I hate everything.

I had to turn off CNN on my phone and go back to listen to My Favorite Murder. Because I was listening to Moores campaign something or other who was all well I would hope that the senate wouldnt eject him if elected because thats unconsitutional and a whole host of other bullshit and I almost threw my phone and since its not paid off, I shouldnt do that.
