They all can't be lying and they can't all be telling the truth ... good grief these people are coming out of the wood work.

The floodgates have collapsed here in Hollywood; the common reasoning is the taking down of Weinstein signaled the disintegration of 'Teflon coating' protecting predatory producers, directors, agents, etc., from being outed as the scum they are and its open season on the worst cases. The Los Angeles County DA has just announced the formation of a special investigation/prosecution team to handle the now overwhelming number of harassment and assault reports coming in to the DA's Office. Persons who were afraid to report or discuss their experiences out of fear of professional repercussions or, in some cases, physical retaliation, are now emboldened to step forward; the effect on the high-level Hollywood power brokers is to have many of them scurrying to lawyer up in the event they should be 'outed'. There is also movement in the State Legislature to eliminate the favorite tactic of the predators, the use of Non-Disclosure Agreements and/or Confidential Binding Arbitration clauses in talent contracts as a means of keeping their dirty little secrets out of the public eye. The whole situation has gone much farther than I would have guessed when the whole matter broke open. It has been interesting here in Hollywood...

The hits just keep on coming:
New woman accuses Moore of sexual misconduct when she was a minor -- https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...74d_story.html Roy Moore's former colleague: It was 'common knowledge' that Moore 'dated high school girls' -- http://www.businessinsider.com/roy-m...-girls-2017-11 Yep, just more of those good ol' GOP Family Values and moral rectitude... <O>

Trouble is it's a good way for someone to get rich quick, the courts tend to believe the 'victims' in sexual harassment cases. I would demand proof but then how can you prove such a thing??? A lie detector test would have to be mandatory.

Are you suggesting that moral rectitude and criminal behavior are dependent on political affiliation? I hope not.

Part of the problem has been the offenders have long held all the cards in the form of their power and influence. What has happened now is they are a bit like bellicose schoolyard bullies who have finally had their bluff and bluster called by the school nerd and now find themselves surrounded by a mob of other nerds eager to get in a punch against their tormentor(s). As the saying goes, kharma is a cruel mistress... <O>

I would also say that this whole #metoo movement is just getting started. I'm not going to be shocked by anything I hear. No wait...I'm already shocked.

This article I just found makes some good points: Roy Moore Presents Republicans With a Familiar Dilemma -- https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...ilemma/545498/ If they're going to take a posture of pushing morality, they've gotta be ready to be proactive against immorality, even if it is not to their immediate advantage; play the long game, not the short "win" that will probably butt-bite them later... <O>

Indeed. Who knows who will be exposed next. Both sides of the political spectrum are in jeopardy of a scandal. Some people probably aren't sleeping to well. And rightly so.

The situation of Roy Moore's past history regarding underage or near underage teens gets a bit more disturbing:
Locals Were Troubled by Roy Moore’s Interactions with Teen Girls at the Gadsden Mall -- https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-...e-gadsden-mall Added to the reports made by the five women who have outed Moore, these reports of Moore actively trawling for teen girls at the mall paint a picture of a man whose public espousal and demand for morality is in diametric and hypocritical contrast to his actual character... Sleaze is sleaze, and disgusting and reprehensible, no matter how many Bibles he thumps or flags he waves... <O>

I couldn't agree more. My mother always said those who scream/condemn the loudest usually have the most to hide.
