He kept us safe from almost certain evil
by displaying 10 commandments even though deemed illegal

Moore joked that little girls are beautiful, old women are not, before attacking accusers in speech. Read this transcript and tell me if your skin crawls like mine did watching it live Saturday morning.

Well this is lovely.
Roy Moore, child rapist and all around nut case was welcomed warmly by the White Nationalist (Republican) Party when he made his first appearance since the allegations.

Pretty much enough said, don't you think?
What will it take for one of what passes as a journalist these days to point out the sheer idiocy of letting that statement stand without challenging it.

Without the qualification of “if he’s found guilty” or anything else. Senator Mike Lee also did. Both had previously qualified their responses but after reading the Wapo article it’s hard not to find the story extremely credible.
Both senators...

Since Trump announced his candidacy, he has been called lots of names. And so have the others of his ilk. I think they are all tyranni. They all naturally work against the common good. They all exhibit most of the characteristics of tyranni:
