Sucks. First time I ever heard FNM was on some Saturday morning video show as a teen. Looks like his addictions caught back up with him. RIP.

Louis CK apologies, says accusations are true. WTF is wrong with these guys?

Shit's getting weird around here:
Washington (CNN)Former White House national security adviser Mike Flynn and his son are alleged to have been offered as much as $15 million to forcibly remove from the US a Muslim cleric wanted by Turkey, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Eh, Spacey's rep said he was "Seeking treatment" now. The first accusation he just claimed he was drunk and didn't remember. So he never really denied anything, and now says he's getting help.
#615 Re: The Sunset Strip » Kevin Spacey » 469 weeks ago
A solo accusation is one thing. But Spacey, like others have multiple accusations from the set of House of Cards alone. After a while, it's not difficult to draw a conclusion. Although some people still defend Cosby I guess...

Why provide evidence or justify an accusation/claim when it’s now considered a conversation to find people who share your opinion and are equally ignorant.
Notice how they’re framing their argument? If you even want some kind of verification before ruining a person’s life, you’re defending a rapist and are dispicable. No opportunity for discussion? Is this who we want to be? Do we want political accusations to be accepted without question under threat of being labeled a bigot or rape apologist? It just reeks of sleaze and anti-intellectualism. It truly is a mob mentality.
The women came forward to report this. How else would you like to verify?
Leigh Corfman was just 14 when she says Roy Moore—the former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court who’s now poised to win a U.S. Senate seat—initiated a sexual encounter with her, according to explosive new reporting by The Washington Post.
She recounted that on that second visit:
He took off her shirt and pants and removed his clothes. He touched her over her bra and underpants, she says, and guided her hand to touch him over his underwear.
“I wanted it over with — I wanted out,” she remembers thinking. “Please just get this over with. Whatever this is, just get it over.” Corfman says she asked Moore to take her home, and he did.

This defence of Roy Moore by an Alabama state official is almost as sickening as the allegations themselves. https://t.co/pJpY4zqlVC

After a long pause, Alabama Bibb County Republican chairman Jerry Pow tells me he'd vote for Roy Moore even if Moore did commit a sex crime against a girl.

"I would vote for Judge Moore because I wouldn't want to vote for Doug," he says. "I'm not saying I support what he did."
My favorite:
"Other than being with an underage person - he didn't really force himself," Alabama Geneva County GOP chairman Riley Seibenhener tells me. "I know that's bad enough, but I don't know. If he withdraws, it's five weeks to the election...that would concede it to the Democrat."

Exit polling also showed that healthcare and guns were the voters top concerns in VA.
#619 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 470 weeks ago
No. Because this wasn’t a mid term and they didn’t win anything they weren’t supposed to. .
This is false. The Dems took seats in the VA legislature (and other places) that they absolutely weren't "supposed to."
“This is an unbelievable night,” said House Minority Leader David J. Toscano (D-Charlottesville) in an interview an hour after polls closed. “There were districts we didn’t think we had much of a shot in.”
Unofficial returns showed Democrats unseating at least a dozen Republicans and flipping three seats that had been occupied by GOP incumbents who did not seek reelection. Four other races were so close that they qualify for a recount, and the outcome will determine control of the chamber. The results marked the most sweeping shift in control of the legislature since Reconstruction.

Republicans got DESTROYED in Virginia tonight. Northam won by 8pts. And Democrats won 14(!!) seats in the state house and probably take control of the legislature there. There are still some undeclared winners left out there.
They're getting murdered in the 2018 midterms if the trend keeps up and it more or less ends up being a referendum on Trump.
Big night for sure.
Hardly a shocker, Trump trashed Gillespie right after his loss...
Yesterday, a robo call for Gillespie. Within hours of the polls closing, he throws Ed under the bus. Shortest bromance ever! https://t.co/5ZEZsOPYUb

The man who wrote the anti-trans bathroom bill just lost the election to a trans woman. Let that sink in. https://t.co/KFEZXSYvMy
