[Begrudgingly many are now acknowledging that Trump had a good trip to the Far East. More people now understand that America has its own interests topmost, and considers it a good thing if everyone recognizes and admits that they too have their countries' interest come first. It cuts out a lot of the bullshit when people meet to make deals on stuff like trade and national security. Maybe the new paradigm will be named the Trumpian Schools of Diplomacy. gjr]

Sorry Gregory your post proves my contention that there are no direct accusations of sexual harassment and involvement with minors. Here’s the way your link starts out
“We don’t know what Bill Clinton did or didn’t do in company with Jeffrey Epstein. But we certainly know what Epstein did and, almost as outrageously, what he got away with doing.”

Well, it certainly is interesting watching this Judge Roy drama unfold. Did he or didn’t he? Only his hair dresser knows for sure.
Trump came out swinging for Luther Strange. Ditch Mitch came out swinging for Luther Strange and 100% non stop throwing haymakers on Roy during the primary to replace Sen. Sessions. As of today, Ditch Mitch is still 100% against the very sight of Roy, all the RINO’s are a’gin him, the entire Industrial Liberal Media Complex is thrusting knives in his back 24/7 headliner news, everybody is screaming for him to drop out by hook or by crook, and he is as popular as the Black Plague. Nobody is defending the guy. Not one surrogate, not one commentator on the entire globe is standing up for the dude. That is what your call being left to dangle in the wind. Judge Roy against the world, the whole wide world.
Hmm. Sounds kinda familiar. Think I used the same words when I described Citizen Trump time and time again. Doesn’t have a prayer, right? One solitary man and a Twitter Machine.
By now everybody who has an opinion has voiced their opinion. Fish was right yesterday or the day before. It don’t look good for Roy. Even the anti-Swamp crowd and anti-Establishment crowd is doing the anti-Moore dance on his head. Media has spoken, Dems have spoken, Republicans have spoken, and the Non-Profit Industrial Complex has spoken. No much else to say. .
Bottomline, it’s now up to the voters of the Great State of Alabama, It’s the only voice that counts. Strike that. It’s now all up to the Deplorables. That is the only thing that counts. Whatever the Deplorables do about that Judge Roy Moore….well, what can I say except the fate of Roy Moore is in their hands. This is great stuff to watch.
Polls all over the place. Punchy’s poll has Moore DOA, toast, don’t bother to show up, Judge Royland. That college poll has Roy up 6 today, another with a double digit lead, another 2 points up, another 2 down. Oh, the drama. A proverbial wet dream for Crisis Junkies and adrenalin whores. It’s game on. One man with his back to the wall against the whole world. And we can only watch from here. That is a good thing. Ball is in your court, Alabama.

Yet this LIB is arrested, and all the heat is still on Moore.
http://dailycaller.com/2017/11/15/networks-ignore-dem-candidate-arrested-for-stalking/
“A Democrat running for Congress was arrested on a stalking charge last week, but the media has refused to give the story any coverage.
David Alcon, who is running for an open congressional seat in New Mexico, was arrested this past Friday on a felony stalking charge after a woman accused him of sending her frightening and lewd text messages and showing up at her home. Alcon was previously convicted of stalking his ex-girlfriend in 2007 and was described as “infatuated” and “clearly obsessed” by the judge in the case. ”

From the Hill
Moore’s polling lead and favorability have declined since the two NRSC polls conducted prior to the allegations. Surveys from early October and early November had the former state Supreme Court chief justice leading by 16 points and 9 points, respectively.
The release of the poll comes days after the NRSC removed its name from a joint fundraising committee that would help fundraise for Moore with other GOP groups ahead of the Dec. 12 special election.

If you want more proof, why did the Russians not cheer when Gov. Johnson lost? Why, why, why, hmmm. We know the reason why. The Russian colluded with Jill Stein to steal the election from Johnson and the Russians hacked Trump’s e-mails so the Lib stalker will win. I got a link to a comment of a Huff-n-Puff blog that proves it…from very high placed unnamed government officials. Now, where did I put that comment? It was down around comment 287….
