Hopefully this is the end of the wild ass saga of fighting Joe.

I doubt it tho

I don't think anyone in this subreddit would be surprised at this, Joe isn't exactly the best at hiding his shenanigans...

...Heck, I have a friend who interned at the State capital several years back and she had to constantly ward off his sleazeball tactics and advances.

Edit: Surprised, not suppressed, all though Joe would probably like this to be suppressed...

Knowing him casually... I fully expected this and was looking for the name of someone I know in that post. Poor woman had definitely been through it with his grooming and manipulation.

Yeah, nothing will happen to him.

Like she says herself, she lied to everyone to protect Joe, and I believe her mother and grandmother did as well. They didn't just defend him, they accused prosecuters of politically persecuting them and wrote in support of his pardon.

I am not blaming the victim. But the reality is, the reason he didn't end up in prison or out of office is because of her. There's a reason Morrissey makes sure to send out all those happy family cards and photos and making sure they were in the papers. For the last 10 years she has been presented as a perfectly happy wife and mother wants everyone to butt out of her affairs. If she changes her story now, they will tear her apart in court. She may have some potential perjury charges even. Not to mention fairly grim job prospects and likely very little income to support her large family. She's pretty much screwed. Morrissey knows exactly what he's doing.

I hope this is the start of a long healing journey for her. Joe Morrissey can lick my scabby asshole.

Thankfully, Rouse won the Senate. The GOP is probably somewhat relived as well.

Morrissey is no longer a controlling vote which means neither side has to make a deal with him.

Also, probably puts a big dent in the Petersburg casino plans, though possibly it just passes the hot potato back to us.

I was an intern at the GA many years ago and had the terribly uncomfortable experience of riding an elevator with him and my intern friend (who was younger and prettier and just his type). This is where I truly learned what it meant to “undress someone with your eyes”. That’s exactly what he did to my friend and it was so awful. F this guy.

>Fucking scumbag is worse than we thought.

This is exactly as bad as I've known him to be for years.

Joe Morrissey is the only Democrat the fired MAGA strip club manager Mike Dickinson likes (after he fell out with Kim Gray). If you wanna know who the real groomers are, look for the people whining loudly about imaginary "groomers," then look at those people's idols.

He was literally elected FROM JAIL in the special election for his own seat, which he had to vacate after his conviction for sex crimes against the 17-year-old girl who later became the very ex-wife who just wrote the post in the OP.

One of the very last things Gov. Ralph "I Don't Remember if I Wore Black Face or a Klan Hood in My Yearbook Photo" Northam did in office—one year ago, tomorrow—was to pardon Joe Morrissey from that conviction.

Joe Morrissey was always a fucking scumbag, and somehow he keeps getting elected.

Did you see Joe Morrissey's response? He says police have photographic evidence of her child having been beaten and the boy said her boyfriend beat him with a belt. She doesn't sound like she deserves much healing if she defends someone abusing her children.

From the (written) statement released by Morrissey:

”Senator Morrissey intends to let the justice system run it’s coarse.”

Under normal circumstances, it’s probably difficult to find a writer/editor late on a Friday night, but I’m surprised with the GA in session that he wasn’t able to get competent eyes on this masterpiece.

Y'know, I don't get the impression that she feels that Joe Morrissey "did right by" her, as so many of his supporters claim. I hope whatever hush money she gets ends up covering a really, really good therapist.

NuttingOnNutzy t1_j4btd89 wrote

He is why he didn’t end up in prison or out of office. The reality is he didn’t end up in prison because he groomed an impressionable child so he could have a partner who was easy to control, whose own family would be complicit in it. He didn’t end up in prison because he’s a literal psychopath who psychologically manipulated a vulnerable person. She was a teenager in a relationship with a man forty years older. None of this is her fault, she is not the reason he has never been held accountable for his atrocious behavior, much of it occurring in extremely public ways prior to ever meeting her

Objective-Ad-2351 t1_j4btddy wrote

He was recently at Pops Poker, gave a weak speech and chilled in the back with a lot of Jewish men as his 3 kids ran a amok. Literally throwing footballs, slapping people, climbing stuff. Nobody did anything. They need a couple butt whipping respectfully. And all the vibes were off, he seems like a shady guy but I said to myself, this is over my pay rate. It just showed me alot people would choose “power” over integrity.

reebokhightops t1_j4buzp3 wrote

This is certainly true, but her name is clearly unusual—especially in its spelling. There is absolutely nothing inherently racist about someone asking how to pronounce it, and it’s kind of silly to even bring that up in this particular example.

This is like someone spelling their name Jocsh and pronouncing it “Josh”; nothing wrong with spelling it that way if you want to, and nothing wrong with someone clarifying how it’s pronounced because, again, it’s clearly atypical.

ZalmoxisChrist t1_j4bvhqb wrote

He will keep running, and idiots who never look at the local news and vote only on name recognition will keep voting for him. We thought his days were numbered when he was just a convicted pedophile, but he not only took back his Delegate seat, he later became a State Senator. I don't think "divorced convicted pedophile" makes that much of a difference.

BicyclingBrightsWay t1_j4bzw62 wrote

Ohhhh, ok. I was wondering why we never heard anything about the woman's side of things when he started with the assistant (woman as in wife, not the girl that was the assistant). I guess not having a SO and having older kids made people accept it more readily? I'm not sure.

ZalmoxisChrist t1_j4c155d wrote

Why would having children who are older than your wife make anybody more accepting of his Jerry Springer lifestyle?

The only way I can personally comprehend and justify Joe's continued relevance is that Virginia voters are mostly uninformed morons.

DessertStorm1 t1_j4c4gnf wrote

I don't have to believe what he says if the police corroborate it with photographic evidence and statements from the children. I agree he's earned no trust from anyone, but I am guessing that he wouldn't make the police involvement claims if they weren't true. And if police don't back up his claims, then no, I won't believe him.

DessertStorm1 t1_j4c5c3z wrote

Nope, I think Joe is a scumbag and I believe his ex wife's accusations. That doesn't automatically mean that authorities shouldn't investigate the treatment of her children by her boyfriend and take away her custody if appropriate (i am by no means qualified to answer that question, even if I did know all the facts.)

DessertStorm1 t1_j4c5oup wrote

Seems like it should be easy enough for police to corroborate, though I don't know if there are privacy restrictions given the involvement of minors. And yes, if police contradict his claims, I would absolutely not believe him.

That's what I've always wondered. He's not just unattractive either, he's got the pedo vibe and look from a million miles away. Always has even before we that was legally confirmed.

Koko__Nut t1_j4cpo32 wrote

Oh, I didn’t mean to protect Morrissey in any fashion. Not what I meant to imply. I just meant to add information that he’s been “fighting’” for so long. I remember the story of all of this from right after I got to VA in the late ‘90s. At that time, I just thought he was a good lawyer. The scandals upon scandals that have occurred since then have left me mortified.

One of my friends got 2 calendars on his front porch during the recent primary. It worked on a bunch of people, not to make them vote for him, but to disbelieve the rumors about his marriage being on the rocks. Because who would have the audacity to promote a family man image with this shit going on?

So I’m still somewhat new to the area and have only see some headlines about him. For some reason I expected his ex wife to look like a housewife straight out of wisteria lane, the felicity huffman type.

Also, this guy is whatever is worse than a piece of shit. I couldn’t even keep up with her expose after a while. I’ve always believed that “we get the leaders we deserve” and the fact that he has been in public office says more about his voters than it does about him.
