OK, I am going to defend Hannity here just a little. Society as a whole does still distinguish between violent/forcible rape and statutory rape.  Ideas about consent have changed a lot even in the last few years.  So maybe that distinction is fading, but it's still there, so I don't think Hannity was wrong for pointing it out.

 

 I do think he should have condemned Moore, instead of trying to mitigate having sex with a 14 year old though. As if he's fit to hold office after that. The sheer hypocrisy of some of these people is maddening. Plus the fact that he was known for chasing after teens. Notice the GOP higher ups are trying to cut this guy loose because they know there are going to be more women coming forward. It's obvious this is the tip of the iceberg.

The saddest part is that Roy Moore will win the white women vote overwhelmingly. Then they will give some lame ass excuse for why they had to vote for him like abortion or same sex marriage which has already been decided by the Supreme Court or because Hillary Clinton ate a grapefruit for breakfast in 1985.

I could just see Carter's or Stephen's mother breaking down in front of Mueller and/or his investigators, let's say, and admitting she was forced to give up one of her sons because her husband refused to raise another man's kid.  And her story unfolds as Carter and Stephen look on in horror.

The Moore people are even trying to cite the so-called "Obama-Hillary Clinton machine" (really?

) getting the media to churn out this story and they're using it as a fundraising talking point!!

 

Mind you, this man hasn't denied these charges. He's just looking for someone to blame for making it public. Yuck and the people caping for this disgusting person are equally awful.

 

 

Interesting article about how people within the Department of Homeland Security, namely acting head of the department, is pushing back against pressure from General Kelly to end protected status from deportation of certain immigrant groups.

If Moore wins Democrats can spend 2018 telling voters that Republicans stood by while a child molestor was elected to the United States Senate just to hold on to power. 

 

Where is Donald Trump? If this was a Democrat he would be calling for a public flogging. We already knew he was a worthless bastard but this just emphasizes it. Some leader he is.

I don't think the GOP has a choice on Moore. The deadline to replace him on the ballot has already passed.

This is not to say that the Republicans won't try to find a loophole to try to replace him anyway. You know they're feverishly trying to find that elusive loophole.

I don't think the Alabama GOP would want it to happen anyway. They adore this man. 

 

Anyway, here's an interview with someone talking about why Moore will probably still win. The only part that annoys me is that at the end he needlessly adds that Democrats wouldn't want to give up a seat either. I hate the "both sides" [!@#$%^&*]. It never ever goes away.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
