Dear Alabama, please show your up-turned middle finger to the Rat republicans in DC and the Washington Post, on election day.

I almost afraid to ask this question but, what was the marriageable age for women in 1979 Alabama?

Not that I would want to do so, but I could never run for office. I am in my sixties, and deep oppo-research would reveal that when I was a teenager, I dated teenage girls, and I am a male.

Voters in this state have a history of ignoring sexual misconduct, says Larry Powell, a professor of communications studies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, a political consultant and the author of books on state politics. They voted for Trump, and he still has strong support in this state. What sexual misconduct was Trump guilty of?

I had one who had married a few weeks shy of 14. The grainy old photos show that she was drop dead beautiful even well into her old age. Family legend has it that her beau (my 2x great grandfather) had left a wagon train to join a band of Sioux Indians could only be lured back to the white man life with a girl so beautiful.
Benjamin Franklin had observed in roughly the century before that almost any whites who were adopted into the local Indian tribes would want to go back the first chance they got after being "rescued" by other whites. OTOH, any Indians raised as whites would want to return to their tribe of origin once they learned just how hard the white man's lifestyle was compared to their own.
His observation was only slightly less true a century later. Jim Thorpe, Chief Bender, Carl Curtis and other famous Indians who had done well in white man's world in the first half of the following century left similar observations.
It was only when the destructive forces of alcohol, drugs and FDR's programs were unleashed that this begin to change into the sorry state of life on the Reservations that we have today. But a few tribes even got past that.

Even if true, what's
the worst that happened? This wasn't rape. It wasn't sexual intercourse. It wasn't even heavy petting. This is a man who's courting
women of child-bearing age with the probable intention of marrying them. Not what Bill Clinton intended with Monica. Not what Weinstein intended with the dozens of startlets he "romanced".

It would a little on the weird side if he was 32 and chasing 16 to 18 year old girls.
As long as he committed no crimes, I don’t care.
I also don’t believe a word of what the Washington Compost prints without independent verification.

Moore, ... is the talk of Alabama.WRONG!
First off, this is a story from outside the state. Not good. It is a liberal paper. Also, not credible. Finally, it is political dirty tricks. Extremely not credible.
What Alabamians ARE TALKING about is: Auburn's win over Georgia, Alabama's squeaker over Miss State, and whether Auburn can knock-off Bama in two weeks in Jordan (pronounced JER-dan) Hare Stadium.
It is football season after all. We have our priorities.

Moore has stated outright that he’d never even heard the 14-year-old’s name. I doubt he’d say that if there were any truth to the allegation. He’d be trapping himself if any evidence came out.

Or it could be because this is a blatantly obvious hit job from a legacy media thats universally despised in collusion with a Republican establishment thats almost as universally held in utter contempt.
Just a thought.

The guy who wrote this was one of the reporters leading the charge to turn Birmingham and suburbs into a Hispanic-positive area, even if they were illegal.
He was one of the first ones laid off when the big layoffs started at The Birmingham News.
Sorry/Not Sorry.
But he’s still not as crappy and Kyle “Dislikes black mayors” Whitmire and John “My brother is gay” Archibald.

Most Alabamians know that al.com reporters are notorious liars. Pretty much end of story.
