12/4/17: Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it get’s worse. The president goes to Twitter and endorses Judge Roy Moore, the accused pedophile, for a seat in the U.S. Senate.
“America no longer has a moral compass.”
It takes Trump two tweets to make a case. The second is telling:
Putting Pelosi/Schumer Liberal
Puppet [Doug] Jones into office in Alabama would hurt our great Republican
Agenda of low on taxes, tough on crime, strong on military and borders...&
so much more. Look at your 401-k’s since Election. Highest Stock Market EVER!
Jobs are roaring back!
This proves too much for Michael Steele, former chairman of the Republican National Committee. On Twitter he lambasts the man his party put in the Oval Office. “Your refusal to acknowledge you’ve just endorsed a pedophile for the sake of a ‘vote’ tells me Roy Moore will be a Trump puppet and America no longer has a moral compass under your ‘leadership.’”
In Alabama a political action committee, Child Molesters for Moore, starts passing out literature.
Okay, that’s a joke. But admit it: in Trumpistan, you can’t
be sure.

12/5/17: Down in Alabama, Steven K. Bannon gives a talk in defense of Judge Moore. Bannon spends a good part of his time bashing Mitt Romney, who had come out against the judge. Bannon goes after Romney on grounds that he hid behind his religion to avoid serving in Vietnam. He wonders why voters should listen to a man with five sons, none of whom served in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Moore did serve in Vietnam.
This might be a solid argument if you didn’t realize that the issue is Moore’s behavior regarding teen
girls once he returned to the States.
