My statement was more of an indictment of Ryan and the GOP establishment at large than giving any of them credit.

Well, no, it was more of a nitpick. Dude wasn't the DA. He was an underling.

Being a sexual deviant is all the rage right now. Here I'm just some boring ******* who married his high-school girlfriend and kept it in my pants.

All the rage right now? You read the date on that signature wrong?

Must be a bummer to be a non-pedophile conservative and still be stuck in a straight job. Seems like you should be able to leverage those credentials to a cabinet level position at a minimum.

we're really sure that the fake christian who is sitting here defending another fake christian pedo isnt, in fact, himself a pedo as well?

Dude, this is the internet, there’s like a 70% chance any given poster is an alcoholic 13 year old girl

well it's too bad they didnt have the internet back in roy moore's day

Can't wait for all these R's demanding Moore step down to be "concerned" if a bunch of women claim that Trump assaulted them when they were underage.

I'm genuinely curious what the disqualifying scandals will be in 20 years. All of the new blood in politics will probably have had smartphones since they were 8 years old, and those records are all going to be sitting on a server somewhere.

From what I've heard from my kids about the kind of **** that goes on in high school these days, there isn't a single phone on campus without illicit texts/photos on it. My wife has stopped 11 year olds from ****ing in school bathrooms. I've been on the internet long to see some really depraved stuff and pretty sad stories, so I chose not to supply my own children with life-ruining devices, but I'm guessing I'm in the minority on that.

At least one claims this

Lol, you're the new "Rock N Roll will turn you into a Satan Worshipper!" guy.

so do we know who started getting these leaks going?

What do kids ****ing have to do with Roy Moore hitting on girls in his 30s?

I can only speak for working in NY State, but the NYSP crime lab stopped using handwriting comparison analysts because the entire "science" has really been called into question.

"Wow, being a pedophile is a disqualifier now? Golly how are we going to have politicians now?" Damn libs

If you jump forward to 2050, my guess is that the technology will have changed so much, and the world will be awash in so much data, that it will be harder than you would imagine to track down a dick pic that some high school kid sent in 2017.

Look, Inso0 is Inso0, and I'm not gonna defend his posting as a general matter. But that observation -- namely, that a lot bad decisions, criminal conduct, whatever, that went undocumented back in 1960 is now being captured in some way or other on digital media -- is not particularly LOLworthy.

Sure, but his anecdote was kids sharing nudes with one another. Which I am going to assume was overstated. Not grown men interacting with teens in pedobear ways.

This changes my entire perception of Pawn Stars.

Maybe.

Better safe than sorry.

What Paul D said.

Mitch, Paul, Alabama GOP... Balls in your court.

Moore and his supporters are a real problem for the GOP. Every Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell in the world can ask Moore to step aside and he won't give a ****. He isn't one of them and he doesn't give a **** about them or the GOP.

It's a problem for Trump as well. Even if Trump wanted Moore to step aside, there is a a lot of overlap among virulent Trumpkins and virulent Moore supporters, and a mutual hatred of the "mainstream" media and the GOP establishment.

Mayyyyyybe a private call from Trump would convince Moore to step aside, but there is a like a 60% chance that Moore would publicize the call and just start attacking Trump as well.
