I do not consider the two situations similar at all and took issue with the comparison. Whatever makes you feel right in your own mind, run with it, bud.

I only added the final sentence as an afterthought, and that was the only thing that you chose to remark on. That's fair, no disrespect meant.

Not sure there was an attempt to "make me feel right"; simply voicing my disagreeing with the comparison of the two situations in both political status and content. However, you win and I will desist "bud" before I get suspended for a personal back and forth and derailing the thread. You're good.

It's the most relevant immediate comparison. I dunno. Not that trumps admitted sexual assaults are leaps better, but I don’t recall him assaulting kids. Seems like apples and pears (closer than apples and oranges, but still not super similar).

Are you giving him a pass for the teen pageant thing then, or does that not register on the radar? Not that I think I need to include that as I'm just discussing someone's response to a general accusation of sexual misconduct, which, no matter the details, should be a rejection of the act on moral grounds and not just an excuse as to why the accusers should be dismissed.

I guess I’m unfamiliar with the teen pageant thing. If trump was trump with teens, then he’s as allegedly bad as Moore is allegedly.

If trump was trump with teens, then he’s as allegedly bad as Moore is allegedly. 4 contestants alleged he came in as they were partially naked and he made no attempt to leave saying he has seen it all before. One person was quoted saying Ivanka's response at the time was "yea, he does that". He has claimed before that he did that with the Miss USA pageant.

Kudos to my boys Mitch, Pence, and others from the GOP disregarding politics and seeing this for what it is This is crass. By praising your GOP idols you are downgrading the suffering inflicted on the victim. You should be ashamed of yourself. Mods. Please delete every post this heathen has ever posted. See how that works? Pathetic. RE: Alabama state official defends Roy Moore, citing Joseph and Mary - Belsnickel - 11-10-2017 To the whole Trump comparison, IIRC there was someone that accused him of sexual misconduct while they were a minor. Wasn't she the one with the lawsuit that got dropped because of death threats.

In fact I had to change the title of the thread about that because some of the more delicate types had a problem with it.

I'll have to see if I can find it, but I saw data where evangelical Christians went from 30 something percent to 70 something when it came to willingness to support a morally bankrupt candidate between 2011 (IIRC) and 2017.

I'd believe it. I was surprised by how many people — including people I go to church with — that said it didn't matter what bad things Trump had done, that a higher power could still use him for good. The conversation usually ended if you said "So, He can use Hillary, too?" Most people don't even want to try any more. They just want their side to fix things... even if their side isn't really their's any more.
