Moore Trumpling, Reprise 0

Bryan Greenspun, publisher of the Las Vegas Sun, marvels at the hypocrisy. A nugget:

It defies logic and human understanding that in the case of Roy Moore there are still leaders in Alabama, in the United States Senate, in the White House and in the country itself who cannot see their way clear to condemn in the harshest terms the conduct of the former Alabama judge who yearns to be a U.S. senator.

I understand the difficulty most people have when the matter is determined by what “he said” and “she said,” and it is difficult to find the line between fact and fiction. But in the matter of Moore, this is a “he said” and “they said” proposition in which no one yet has refused to believe the many female accusers. In fact, there are some who incredulously say they believe the women — which means they believe the abhorrent behavior of the man who seeks their votes — and yet they will still vote for him.

Jay Bookman asked a question via Twitter.

My Trump era dilemma:

Do I write about the outrage of someone with Trump’s history of sexual harassment gloating about Franken’s downfall?

Or about the fact that in this “middle class tax cut,” the middle class gets $1 for every $9 that goes to rich and corporations?
