Default Re: Politics and the Church

The GOP is using the Trump tactic of accusing their opponents of their own weaknesses. The object is to create a false equivalency in the minds of public. They seek to divert attention from their vulnerabilities and normalize their corrupt and sociopathic behaviors. By attacking Franken, they hope to muddy the water enough to slide Moore through.

Or perhaps finally the dem/libs are being exposed for who they really are.

Weinstein, Clinton, Franken, today Charlie Rose, tomorrow John Conyer.

Just keep throwing those large-worded mud-balls at Trump to divert attention from the truth.

No doubt there are plenty of instances of sexual harassment by Dems and libs. That doesn't exonerate or give a pass to Trump or Moore. Why don't they apologize like Bush, Franken and now Rose have done? Isn't that the Christian thing to do?

Personally, I don't think Moore has anything to apologize for. I think it's a smear job taking advantage of our present climate. He is not the first conservative to be victimized. Should Clarence Thomas apologize to Professor Hill?

As far as Trump apologizing as a Christian, good luck on both counts.

It seems they are asking him when he began to prey on teenagers. If he responds at all he will be condemned.

That said if he is innocent he has to sue them for defamation and damages. You have an alleged case of forgery and you have security guards and coworkers claiming his reputation as a predator was well known.

He can claim he is innocent because you the statute of limitations has expired, but unless he or the party sues for slander I will not believe him.

Default Re: Wind and Solar is now cheaper than coal

In one of the fastest and most astonishing turnarounds in the history of energy, building and running new renewable energy is now cheaper than just running existing coal and nuclear plants in many areas. A widely-used yearly benchmarking study — the Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis (LCOE) from the financial firm Lazard Ltd. — reached this stunning conclusion: In many regions “the full-lifecycle costs of building and operating renewables-based projects have dropped below the operating costs alone of conventional generation technologies such as coal or nuclear.”

Prior to this you had to factor in health costs and environmental costs. This is stunning.

Yup, Moore has threatened to sue WaPo.

The jury is out on the Roy Moore accusations, but one thing we know, he never fit the classic profile of a pedophile. His accusers are being called liars, and women are starting to stand by him. Like I said, WaPo made the mistake of running their hit piece too early, and now I'm sure they regret it.

What we are learning about Doug Jones, however, will drip drip drip until long after election day. So much for Jonesy the hypocrite protecting young defenseless girls: Accuser in UAB sex abuse case calls out Doug Jones for 'hypocrisy' for his position on Moore accusers

I just watched Janet Porter President of Faith2Action debunk the anti-Moore fake news on MSNBC.

I happened to read that somehow Breitbart News forced WaPo to come out with this story prematurely and ahead of schedule, thus giving Moore and his supporters way too much time to defend himself against the lies.

So Trump broke his silence on Moore and said "We don't need a liberal in there." So the pubbies are willing to take a pedophile scumbag rather than a liberal.

Sounds like something out of bro Ohio's playbook.
