Oh, so one isn't allowed to point out the hypocrisy of the Left?

Trump didn't ask a foreign agent to interfere in the election. Where are you getting that? Over a year of "investigation," and nothing found.

I find it strange that none of the accusations came out during the hotly contested republican primary where such accusations could have swayed moderates into voting for the opponent.

Wonder why, hmmm....

Maybe it is the republicans in Congress who don't want Moore. Maybe the democrats who wanted both republicans deal death blow knockouts to each other so that the democratic opponent could win, since if it had come out earlier the republican opponent would have beaten the democratic nominee in the run off.

I am not commenting on the validity of the accusations, but just the timing of its release..

So you are fine with a 30 something year old man being sexually attracted to a 14 year old? Go to the mall in your town and watch the middle school girls. They are children. You don't think there is something wrong with this guy?

And most guys who ask a woman out is because they hope at some point to be more than just friends. Otherwise what is the point?
I agree it is unusual. But there's no reason, biologically speaking, why a 30 year old man can not be attracted to a 14 year old girl.

Feel free to continue supporting Moore.

Lotsa Pubs still are. He maintains a lead in the Bama polls.

But there's a legal and moral reason why he shouldn't act on that impulse.

True. But a decent and moral man wouldn't act on that attraction. [sorry to repeat point gringo. you got in two seconds ahead of me.]

This probably explains why Roy Moore's escapades are so well known (30 corroborators to the story even at this late date, when many of the adults would have passed on by now). It would have been noticed and considered alarming in the community.

I think the Russian agency responsible operated at several arms length from Putin (for plausible deniability) and approached DJT Jr along the lines of, "We have the real shi7 on DNC and Clinton, do you want it or should we spread it ourselves?" Being a smart lad, he said, "We love it but won't touch it." You can post it wherever you want."
"so they did . . ."

Ummm, yes there is. He is not a Hamadryas baboon:
Reproductive Strategies of Male Baboons | Imfene

Males may acquire females via three general routes:
via aggressive takeovers;
via assuming a follower male role and waiting to inherit females; or
via ‘adopting’ a young pre-reproductive female and forming an ‘initial unit’ with her
that will eventually develop into a reproductive unit
(Kummer 1968a; Sigg et al 1982; Pines et al 2011; Pines and Swedell 2011).
