CaliCat got a reaction from Jacque67 in Donald Trump as a cult leader
As this topic progresses, it's becoming ever more self-fulfilling.

You counted each and every allegation against Weinstein to determine the 'majority' were just women asking for it eh?

Rock bottom? Oh dear... this story is really only just preparing us for the fresh hells that will await us over the next few months.

i'm having a really hard time taking the op seriously, they don't even know what open borders are considering we're nowhere near having them..

Or even voting for Trump even though he confessed to sexual assault and being sexual predator. Not only has neither party the moral high ground, their voters are just the same as well. By allowing Moore to continue with his candidacy at this point only shows that the entire Clinton/Lewinsky story was just a big load of fake outrage and bovine manure.

unless trump can read minds 'they let you' in the context of what he said hardly constitutes consent. he is assuming, not asking.

CaliCat got a reaction from Tahoma in Donald Trump as a cult leader
They doubt their own ears at his taped confession to sexual assault, and are willing to guzzle his cool-aid in a world of alternate-facts and distorted reality.

like trump's twitter, i'd say a big chunk of The_Donald sub reddit subscribers are bots. https://www.reddit.com/r/EnoughTrumpSpam/comments/56808h/an_estimated_92_of_the_donald_subscribers_are/
also, those lads are most certainly enthralled with trump's cult of personality. they're just too young and lacking in real life experience to realize it.

CaliCat reacted to Amica Nostra in Donald Trump as a cult leader
The public intellectual argued the cultish nature of the Trump presidency could have dangerous consequences if the US president’s position and power was to degenerate yet further SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images
Donald Trump is akin to a cult leader and his supporters are reminiscent of disciples of a sect, according to a religious studies scholar.
Reza Aslan, an Iranian-American author, said he was using the word cult in the “pejorative sense” and argued the US president's supporters were united by a fanatical devotion to their leader.
Aslan, who is a creative writing professor at the University of California, Riverside, said the intense sentiments expressed by President Trump’s support base shared more parallels with religion than politics

CaliCat got a reaction from Amica Nostra in The secret correspondence between Donald Trump Jr. And wikileaks
And remember, the so-called president himself loves Wikileaks... But in a world of alternate facts, he may have mean to communicate that he likes fried chicken, when he said "I love Wikileaks."

CaliCat reacted to elmcitymaven in Doug Jones takes lead on Roy Moore in new Senate poll
Just thinking about this a little more during the day: if Moore were subpoenaed to testify before the Senate about this matter, and it could be proven that he lied under oath, that's perjury and there could be penal or more likely monetary sanctions for perjurious conduct. If he were already elected, he could be impeached and expelled as well.

There is no clear remedy, at least legally. The statute of limitations has run, so they can only ever be allegations, at least at law. The court of public opinion is another matter of course. We can't say he's guilty or innocent of these acts, but that doesn't mean that there can't be evidence of what he did or did not do, or that there can't be real life consequences for Moore, even if there's no trial.

I'd encourage a read of this article. The individual who wrote it and sources quoted on the subject I have great respect for. http://beta.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-brightbill-roy-moore-evangelical-culture-20171110-story.html
It's never wise to paint with a broad brush an entire people. Something that is seemingly done all the time on this forum though; your use of the term MDL may even encompass it as a perfect example.
Nevertheless the term 'bible thumper' was used, in pointing out that it is often the person who 'thumps' the loudest so to speak, is often the most guilty hypocrite. As a person of faith, I took no offense to it, and most of us who have escaped such circles understand what is meant by the term. However, the church has a problem. A very deep problem that has been festering, and corrupting it from within. 'Christians' sit by in apathy and continue the status quo, and continue to remain sheep in the face of lies. Look at the polls in Alabama among such of these individuals and how happy they still are to vote for the man. That is the corruption of the soul. The very antithesis of the destruction of their faith they claim to love. Jesus stormed into the temple and tossed out those dishonoring Jewish law and the faith. Who among so-called evangelicals are prepared to do the same? It is no different within the Catholic church, where such fights have been waged for years. There is too much money to be made on sheep, and a high price to paid for silence over corruption, sex, abuse, and lies. If one talks the talk but does not walk the walk, where is there decent morality? Faith without works is dead. False works and fake faith is also dead.

Here is the entire chain of messages with @wikileaks (with my whopping 3 responses) which one of the congressional committees has chosen to selectively leak. How ironic! 1/3 -

Today's allegation against Moore is alleged to have happened in 1977. Leigh Corfman says he assaulted her in 1979. Around that same time two challenges to his law license were filed w the bar and dismissed. In 1982, Moore left town for Texas then Australia. 4 minutes ago chris hayes -

Ah, yes. I am sure that's what Jesus would have done, had he lived longer.

He should have just said he used to hang out at the restaurant and she was just one of the waitresses there. Complete denial isn't going to work. As smart as Don Jr.!
