Who posts things like this without checking Corfman's age.
An Alabama woman has come forward and accused Republican senatorial candidate Roy Moore of initiating a sexual encounter between the two when she was 14. Leigh Corfman, 53, told her horrific story to the Washington Post in a bombshell report that was published on November 9.
Mountain Man regularly posts fake news. He's done so for years. This isn't a novel observation.
He has no credibility.

Sorry, kiddo, but I never tried to pass it off as anything other than rumors, and I even stated that they may not be true. (Out of curiosity, has anybody officially confirmed her age?)
But I'm still not going to throw Moore under the bus just on her say-so.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

eh, you get the idea. I'm not sure what reality you think I need protecting from. If God doesn't exist, I'd have, like Obama after the election, more flexibility in my dealings with "Russia". Faith doesn't protect me from reality, it protects you from me.
You OTOH have plenty of reasons to live in a perverse bubble. Atheists like to "create meaning". But what if the meaning you create is based entirely on false premises? To atheists not pre-disposed to hedonism then nihilism truly must be a living hell and you would do anything to avoid it, even if it means reinforcing the titanium steel bubble you've built."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostIt seems discrepancies are coming to light regarding the allegations. It's being says that Moore's primary accuser, Liegh Corfman, would have been 17 at the time of the alleged incident, not 14, and that she has a long history of martial and financial problems and has falsely accused several other men of sexual impropriety in the past.
This is coming from people who claim to be neighbours of Corfman and from Corfman's own Facebook page.

If true then Corfman is not the most credible witness.

Originally posted by lao tzu View PostIt's personal between Putin and Clinton. And more, for Putin at least, it's visceral. Putin bluffed down an angry mob in East Berlin ready to storm his KGB building after the fall of the Berlin Wall. This isn't the guy who's going to shrug off crowds of demonstrators in the streets calling for him to be removed from office.
TBH, there haven't been many presidents, let alone recent presidential candidates, who would stack up well against Putin (perhaps Ike, JFK, Reagan - though Putin is no Gorbachev). The one thing Trump has going for him here is a willingness to listen to his military leaders and more or less let them do their jobs.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostMM is well aware that she's said it happened when she was 14. You're usually more observant than this. Also, heavy.com?
I'm not fond of clickbait sites, but this isn't heavy analysis. Heh heh. It's her age. I suppose it's possible to spin it out that she's fudging her birthday to make it worse, while missing the better chance by keeping the underwear on, but that's crazy talk. Next thing they'll be calling her a Kenyan and claiming it's not her real birth certificate.
You laugh, but I've seen it done.
What's most disturbing is how quickly folks are sharing these flimsy attacks on the victim. If Weinstein is teaching us anything, it's that those days are over. This behavior is repugnant, and needs to stop. Y'all are Christians. Moore's a Christian. This is your PR. The guards need to take their stations. Circle around and protect the wimmenfolk.
It's not rocket science either. The accusation is all but trivial, and would have been bound to be outplayed in the next news cycle. Yesterday it was Diana Nyad and her swim coach. Today it's George Takei. Apologize and move on.
He wouldn't have to go full Swaggart.
Most of 40 years ago, I made a mistake, and learned from it, and never repeated it. I'm sorry for any hurt to this young lady.
Or just bluster it out onto the front page day after day with denials played to the strains of continuing embarrassment from his caucus. Ted Akin did this.
It's not the crime now, it's the cover up.
Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostOh, indeed.

CIA splits with Trump following his controversial remarks about Putin and Russia's election meddling
Pompeo may be a toady, but he can't manage the agency if he doesn't support their work product.
More directly, leaving military affairs to the generals is iffy. As a country, we know that's a bad idea, even if it's the best option with this administration. I'm all the way okay with wiping ISIS out of Raqqa without troubling overmuch about civilians who are bound to suffer more carnage from an extended campaign. They flattened that city, though.
But I've not okay with the generals claiming there's no option short of invasion to disarm North Korea. That's for the diplomats to say, and the military leaders to stay shut about to leave the diplomatic field free for maneuvers. Of course, that means leaving it to Tillerson, who's got his own relationship troubles with Trump.
It's not that Tillerson called him a moron, it's how he emphasized it.
