[<i>Audio link to today&#8217;s real show is posted below.<\/i>]\n<p>Alabama&#8217;s Republican U.S. Senate nominee Roy Moore continues to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/the-fix\/wp\/2017\/11\/10\/roy-moores-shaky-defense-of-the-sexual-misconduct-allegations-annotated\/?tid=pm_politics_pop&#038;utm_term=.115275496a0b\">deny<\/a> Thursday&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apnews.com\/4087fa4fa9e344b9a8e1e17f15580693\">explosive<\/a> and detailed investigative report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/investigations\/woman-says-roy-moore-initiated-sexual-encounter-when-she-was-14-he-was-32\/2017\/11\/09\/1f495878-c293-11e7-afe9-4f60b5a6c4a0_story.html?utm_term=.a6ee4d99ae4f\">from the <i>Washington Post<\/i><\/a>, charging that when the controversial far rightwing religious zealot was a 32-year old Assistant District Attorney he sexually molested a 14-year old girl. She, like three other teens he also is said to have pursued around the same time, have all gone on record, by name, with their claims.<\/p>\n<p>Despite those blockbuster charges detailed by some 30 sources in <i>WaPo&#8217;s<\/i> coverage, and (somewhat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/11\/10\/opinion\/roy-moore-republicans.html\">cowardly<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/republican-responded-roy-moore-allegations-2508140244.html\">calls<\/a> from Republican U.S. Senators for Moore to drop out of the upcoming U.S. Senate Special Election against Democratic candidate and former U.S. Attorney Doug Jones on December 12, most <a href=\"https:\/\/tttthreads.com\/thread\/928730814350811147\">GOP officials in the state<\/a> of Alabama still appear, embarrassingly enough, to support Moore. Some refuse to believe the allegations at all and others don&#8217;t seem to care, even if the charges are true and amount to a sex crime against a minor. One statewide elected official (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/alabama-state-auditor-defends-roy-moore-against-sexual-allegations-invokes-mary-and-joseph\/article\/2640217\">AL State Auditor Jim Ziegler<\/a>) went so far as to cite the bible in <i>support<\/i> of the alleged pedophilia, and another elected official (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cullmantimes.com\/news\/ed-henry-on-moore-accusations-i-m-not-buying-it\/article_ddb8650a-c5cd-11e7-be2c-1f9ffb09ccc5.html\">AL State Rep. Ed Henry<\/a>) actually called (<a href=\"http:\/\/talkingpointsmemo.com\/livewire\/roy-moore-sexual-relationship-teenagers-teens-alabama-ed-moore\">twice<\/a>) for charges to be brought against <i>the victims<\/i> themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, despite ongoing &#8220;conventional wisdom&#8221; that a Democrat couldn&#8217;t possibly win an Alabama U.S. Senate seat, new polling taken the day the story broke shows the race between Moore and Jones is now in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/roy-moore-and-doug-jones-nearly-tied-in-alabama-senate-race-after-sexual-allegations-surface\/article\/2640337\">dead heat<\/a>. And that&#8217;s data from before, as the pollster notes, the news about Moore &#8220;had a chance to fully sink in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then, Donald Trump&#8217;s so-called &#8220;Election Integrity&#8221; Commission headed up by top GOP &#8220;voter fraud&#8221; fraudster and KS Sec. of State Kris Kobach continues to face huge problems. After eight lawsuits have previously been filed against the sham commission, on Thursday, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2017\/11\/09\/trump-voter-fraud-commission-lawsuit-matt-dunlap-244741\">ninth was filed<\/a>. That one by <a href=\"http:\/\/talkingpointsmemo.com\/muckraker\/dunlap-trump-commission-lawsuit\">one of the Democratic Commissioners<\/a> <i>on the panel<\/i> itself!<\/p>\n<p>Finally today, a number of totally <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/451998af9884496caa438bd5b70aa862\">fake news stories<\/a> (about Tuesday&#8217;s election and Hillary Clinton among other things) became popular via social media this week. We debunk several of them with the help of the Associated Press fact-checkers, included <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apnews.com\/\">several items<\/a> of fake news about the American economy and trade with Japan that the President of the United States himself spread during his ongoing Asian tour.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!
