McConnell says if Moore wins there will be an Ethics Committee investigation and he'll have to testify under oath. I think they should do that now. Allred's client wants to testify under oath. They should subpoena Moore and make him testify.

And holy shit Moores wife is in the sophomore class in the same yearbook he signed of the victim from yesterday. How the f did that get missed?!
Wow, he was scouting new talent?

Check out the pic in the article he is literally swearing on a stack of bibles.
The senate could refuse to seat him but I think Moore would prevail on a legal basis. That leaves expulsion which requires 2/3rds of the Senate to vote but he's need a trial first. If expelled the AL governor would appoint another replacement.
While this is possible the tumult it would cause inside the AL GOP would be crazy. The base wants Moore and expelling him puts them in direct opposition to the national party which will have consequences down the line. Anyway this is a nuts situation the Rs are in just trying to salvage a seat they should otherwise be able to easily keep.

If Moore wins they will do the same thing as they did with Trump, ignore it. It’s not like the current president doesn’t have lots of credible accusations that he has sexually assaulted people. Where are the congressional investigations there?
Sorry, they are investigating the Clintons.
Photos made their age difference appear to line up to that. Great catch though. So he was a predator and kept attacking teenage girls until years later he finally found one from that group who said yes.
And if this was the good old Christian days that he claims to long for, he'd probably have just moved onto a daughter after the wife got too old (which, hey, I'll even give him some credit and say he might would've waited til she was 30, or the daughter turned 13 or maybe 14).

Perhaps, but the allegations against Moore involve underage victims, which is a touchier issue. And Moore doesn't have the national support that Trump does. It's mainly Alabama republicans who are backing him. And he isn't the POTUS.
My best guess is that their condemnations and pulling some funding is about all they're going to do right now, but they may expel him if he wins the election. It's better for them if he wins and gets expelled than if they try too hard to undermine him now and the dems pick up the seat.
Hannity gave Moore 24 hours to come up with a good explanation or leave the race.
Really? I thought Hannity was sticking up for Moore.
Hannity the Tool got a call from sponsors "stop supporting this pedophile or we'll pull our money"Really? I thought Hannity was sticking up for Moore.
Hannity....what a hoot.
The fact that any of that could be successful, and it will be, is a testament to how monumentally fucking stupid the general voting population truly is.I've heard some very disturbing things going on in Alabama. Trollbots are tweeting and posting that WaPo reporters have been offering women $1000 for allegations against Moore for months. Apparently one of the bots is using the identities of dead soldiers.
Also, Alabamans are saying they've received fake robocalls from a "Bernie Bernstein" at WaPo asking if any women in the household want to make an allegation against Moore.

The new one that seems to be taking hold is text XXX to YYY to cast your vote from home.Don't forget the make up voting day the Sunday after the election!

They seem to be doing everything they can to ensure he doesn't win. Tossing around write in ideas for voters to consider. Telling people they probably won't seat him. Just enough to hopefully have him just lose in the general.So let's say Moore wins and then gets removed by the Senate. I'm thinking that's going to open a whole new can of worms for the GOP. I'm wondering how that will affect those Repub voters in Alabama that gave Moore his win? Will they feel betrayed? I think so. I'm thinking to have their votes nullified by outsiders is going to have some serious blow back in that state.
Don't know how that's going to manifest itself in any kind of retributive way by the Alabamians, but it can't make things any better for them to have them thrown under the bus "for the better good of the party".
And what of other Repub controlled states who may then feel that their state's rights can be violated on principle the same way the Alabamians may experience should Moore win?
Given the prevailing attitudes that's been coming out of Alabama that seems to have them digging in their heels and rallying around Moore, this whole affair is a lose/lose for the party no matter what happens from here on in.
