re: Roy Moore calls allegations against him 'completely false'

"The Bezos Amazon Washington Post that dropped that dime on Donald Trump is the same Bezos Amazon Washington Post that dropped the dime this afternoon on Judge Roy Moore," Bannon said Thursday at a dinner of conservative activists in Manchester, New Hampshire, referring to Washington Post owner and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. "Now is that a coincidence? That's what I mean when I say opposition party, right?"

:rotflmao:

Bannon's best response is to ask if it's a coincidence that newspaper consistently reports news. He's fricking losing it, even by his low standards.

Also, Moore is only saying that the allegations regarding the 14 year old are false. He has admitted to dating minors as a middle aged man. Even if it was legal, everyone defending him has accept the fact that they are defending the idea of middle aged attorneys trying to pick up on high school girls. It's sad that this is what the right has come to.

Is it possible that your ideology is inherently inferior in some way to that of your opponents? Is there something about your ideology that, when expressed out loud, does not pass the common sense test?

Considering that we are the majority and have won the popular vote in 6 of the last 7 presidential elections... no, that's not the problem. That's just just the conservative lie that they themselves to pretend like they really are the "silent majority" because they can't hand reality.

quote:
-15 of 50 Governorships
-46 of 100 Senate seats
-194 of 435 House seats

All explained by geography. Wyoming has the same number of governors and senators as California and is even overrepresented in the house. It's silly that you would pretend like democrats have an advantage in our political system when it so clearly isn't the case based on the overrepresentation of rural red states.

quote:

-4 of 9 SCOTUS appointments
-Do not control the White House

Those two are tied together. The Senate, which is majority Republican despite those republican senators representing a minority of Americans, stonewalled a Democratic president's SCOTUS nominee. Then, an election occurred in which substantially more Americans wanted and voted for Clinton to be the president, but again, due to geography, the Republican who was clearly not the people's choice was declared the winner, and his nominee was approved by the Republican majority (who again, in case you forgot, represents a minority of Americans).

re: Ben Simmons says he didn't learn anything at LSU, waste of his time

He doesn't. He was born and raised in Australia. He could have stayed in Australia and been eligible right out of high school as an international player.

What did he get out of it?

Out of his time at LSU? Not much. I think his time at LSU probably hurt his marketability. I mean, that's his fault for how he behaved, but it's still true.

quote:
A couple of years' worth of publicity, that may not have made him the #1 pick, but it did increase his worth in terms of endorsements.

He got years of being talked up as the best player in the country.

He got this from coming to US for high school. Which you're right, he didn't have to do, but I don't think that invalidates his point about the NCAA.

I definitely don't feel bad for the kid, and his whining is part of the reason I'm not fan. I'm mostly just saying that I don't take personal offense to these particular comments as an LSU fan.

I'm sure many people will read his statement and get angry that he would thumb his nose at a chance for a free year of college education, and part of me is tempted to react that way too, but it's clear he didn't want that, and I'm not going to judge him too harshly for that.

I mean, it was clear all along that he didn't want to be here. And I think he has a point with this...

quote:
“I‘d have class and go lift, go practice, then ‘Oh, Ben you got to stay here and do media and the photo shoot.’ So I’d be kind of annoyed like ‘What am i getting out of this?’”

It's not LSU's fault, but yeah, the kind wanted to go to the NBA and if the NBA didn't have a rule against it, some team definitely would have taken him.

So yeah, no ill will to the kid. Not a fan of his, but he's certainly not the only one who thinks the one and done rule is bullshite, and I agree with that point in certain ways at least.

You really are incapable of understanding basic English. According to OP, CK was "caught" BEFORE he admitted the stories were true. That's the premise I'm responding to. That CK was "caught" based on the credibility of the accusations against him, even before he admitted it, and somehow Trump wasn't.

I know you clearly struggle with abstract ideas, but if you try really hard, I think you'll probably get it. But then, even if you do, you'll probably just keep playing dumb rather than admit it, so good luck with that! :cheers:

You're an idiot if you don't understand OP was arguing that CK only came clean because he was "caught". The allegations against Trump were more credible and more well documented than the ones against CK, so if CK was caught, so was Trump. It's that simple.

But then, we all already knew you were angry, raging idiot. No surprise there. :cheers:

Please elaborate. How is the denied allegation more "credible" than one freely admitted by all parties?

OP says CK only admitted to it because he was "caught". He was only "caught" in that women told their stories to the press and provided contemporaneous accounts from other people that they told at the time.

Trump was accused of worse behavior by more women and with more contemporaneous accounts than CK had been. If CK was "caught", Trump was also, and doubly so.

The fact is, even before CK released his statement, everyone with half a brain knew that the accusations were true. Innocent people don't get accused by multiple independent women each with similar stories and contemporaneous accounts of people they told about it. The standard of proof is higher for a criminal court, as it should be, but anyone with half a brain and half a heart would not be able to continue supporting CK after so many credible accusations, regardless of if he fessed up or not. Just the same, no one with a half a brain or half a heart could possibly vote for Trump given what we know about him even though, instead of coming clean, his response was instead to threaten lawsuits that he never filed and instead, when the women sued him, argue that he's immune to lawsuits as president.

And he has been rightfully disavowed by pretty much everyone. Whereas Trump was "caught" with accusations that were both more credible and worse in nature but conservatives still voted for him to be president.

Moore is clearly still the frontrunner because, by and large, Republicans don't care about voting for rapists. But the few of them that do have a modicum of conscience will probably at least just stay home, so the idea that this scandal is going to net him MORE voters is hilarious, even for Alabama.

*Multiple women give accounts of being pursued sexually by Roy Moore when they were minors and he was a middle aged man. Beyond this, the women have multiple people vouching for them that they told them of the encounters contemporaneously.*

You just proved my point. Why would voter ID suppress the vote of people who might not vote for them like conservatives do.

People living in poverty with no access to reliable transportation will have a very difficult time acquiring an ID.

Black people are more likely to live in those conditions.

Conservatives are the ones with a low opinion of black people because they believe that it's entirely black people's fault that they are more likely to live in poverty and refuse to acknowledge the effect institutionalized racism, discriminatory housing practices, etc, have had on the black community.

And as if that total lack of compassion and understanding wasn't enough, conservatives feel the need to go the extra mile by convincing their low information voters that illegal votes are swaying elections (which is just straight up false) all as part of a ruse to enact voter ID laws that are meant solely to make it harder for poor people, who are more likely to be minorities, to vote.

re: What happened to all the women Trump raped that came out before the election?

Posted by BluegrassMiracle on 11/9/17 at 6:08 pm to bamarep

They are pursuing lawsuits against him.

I think it's pretty telling that TRUMP has gone from promising to sue all of the women and the Times for libel to now trying to claim Presidential immunity in order to AVOID having these matters discussed in court.

Trump is the one trying to avoid giving these accusations a day in court, and he's doing so after initially boasting that HE was the one that would initiate legal proceedings. Pretty damn pathetic.

The accusers have not retracted their claims, nor has the Times retracted its story. The only one who has cowered away is Trump cowering away from his tough talk about suing for libel. Presumably because smarter people have told him that he's an idiot and would never win.

If there were multiple women and/or people to corroborate contemporaneous accounts of the matter as there are in this case, then yes, absolutely. To think otherwise, you'd have to be purposefully burying your head in the sand.
