"You cannot say that it's an honest mistake when you're purposefully putting out information that you know to be false, or when you're taking information that hasn't been validated, that hasn't been offered with any credibility, and has been continually denied by a number of people, including people with direct knowledge of an instance," Sarah SandersQuote II
One becomes a critic when one cannot be an artist, just as a man becomes a stool pigeon when he cannot be a soldier. Gustave FlaubertQuote III
All men are by nature born equally free and independent… men entered into compacts to give up some of their natural rights, that by union and mutual assistance they might secure the rest; but they gave up no more… all government, and every kind of civil compact therefore, is or ought to be, calculated for the general good and safety of the community. Every power, every authority vested…is, or ought to be, ultimately directed to this sole end; and whenever any power or authority whatever extends further…it may be called government, but it is in fact oppression. George MasonQuote IV
Yes, antisemitism is a clever virus and this shape-shifting is one of its oldest methods of perpetuating itself. Like other viruses currently feasting on humans, this one always has a pleasure principle associated with it. It feels good to get it and we live in the plague years of “If it feels good, do it.” Those whose moral immune systems have been previously compromised by other pleasure-born diseases have souls which are particularly susceptible to this virus. Gerard Van der LeunQuote V

It appears that the NFL isn't going to support Business Leaders in Christ.
A Christian student group that requires its leaders to pledge to uphold core values like avoiding “sexual immorality” sued the University of Iowa Monday after the school kicked it off campus. Business Leaders in Christ (BLinC) makes all of its student leaders vow to uphold the group’s faith statement, which says they “should conduct their careers without the greed, racism, sexual immorality, and selfishness that all too often arise in business, political, and cultural institutions.”
The University of Iowa pulled their group registration after one student said he wasn’t selected for a leadership position because he is openly gay. The group, though, said the man was rejected because he opposed the group’s core ideals

The video was created with a machine learning algorithm, using easily accessible materials and open-source code that anyone with a working knowledge of deep learning algorithms could put together.
Democratic representative Bobby Rush is being sued for $1 million after failing to make payments on a loan he received for a church he founded in his home district in Illinois. A wellness center linked to the church has also collected more than $2.6 million in taxpayer-funded government grants in 2017 and more than $17 million in grants since 2008, according to records. Rush founded the Beloved Community Christian Church, a nondenominational Christian church, in Chicago in 2002 with the intent of helping disadvantaged people in his community. "I founded a church in Englewood, one of Chicago's poorest and most fragile neighborhoods, and named it Beloved Community Christian Church," Rush wrote in a 2011 op-ed. "The church, once the site of a Black Panther breakfast program for children, now stands in tribute to Dr. King's vision of the power of community. A social service center, a health center and an after school robotics program are also part of the church's mission to care for people."Intentions count. Results don't.

In the presidential election there were about 2M votes cast. In the last contested election Sessions faced there were about 2M votes cast.
So it looks like the primary thing Jones's smears did we to lower turnout - looks like about half the normal Republican vote didn't show up.

Johnny k. I don't know why the he'll you're blaming Ingraham and Hannity. they were not crusading against him. He sounded awful during that interview with Hannity. Moore was a terrible candidate. I wanted him to win but he stuck his foot in his mouth practically every time he opened it.
We blame Dems for not admitting that Hillary was an awful candidate. Moore was just as bad - and not just because of the sexual accusations. saying Familes were stronger during slavery is exactly what you say if you want to motivate blacks to come out and vote against you.

I'm actually not too upset over this because of my mom.
She adamantly does not want to retire to any blue state and wants a safe haven of being utterly surrounded by deep red Trumpnites.
I really hope Alabama will give her the jolt she needs in realizing there is no safe state really, just one that offers the best trade-offs in terms of taxes, amenities, climate and proximity to good healthcare.

You held your heads high and put common decency above party, and now you're going to be represented for the next couple years by a radical abortion fanatic. Who will also make it harder to pass the legislation you supposedly favor.
But hey, at least you have your principles to keep you warm.

This is all on Moore, and the people who thought handing an Alabama Senate seat to the Democrats was worth it in order to give a big middle finger to the "GOPe".
Moore only narrowly won without the accusations of skeeze. And considering that the special elections so far have demonstrated that the Democrats are more energizes, organized, and have demonstrated the ability to get people to the polls, nominating Moore was very, very stupid.
Even then, Moore could have won since Jones is very pro-abort... but the fact that Moore, his wife, and his close supporters (including his own lawyer) were making pathetic excuses.
I get it, some people are so emotionally invested in hating the "GOPe" that they don't care how bad of a candidate they run just as long as that huckster of a candidate validates their feels and whine about the "swamp" and how the Illuminati/Rosicrucian/Stonecutters/GOPe are to blame for everything because they didn't clap for the fairies hard enough.
Pro-tip: You do not have enough support to go out of your way to personally make an enemy of anyone and everyone who doesn't empathize with your emoting.

Even then, Moore could have won since Jones is very pro-abort... but the fact that Moore, his wife, and his close supporters (including his own lawyer) were making pathetic excuses.

Oh horseshit.
Moore got outspent 6-1 and could not fund a GOTV drive because they cut him off. Absolutely he would have won had the GOP not fucked him over. He may have been a weak candidate, but he was sabotaged.

I would have preferred that a Republican had won. The Senate elections in 2020 and 2022 are going to be bad for the GOP.
In order to prevent Schumer from becoming majority leader, the GOP have to massively gain in the Senate.
All indications are that 2018 will be a bad election for the GOP. Already, Nevada looks like a Dem pick-up and Arizona very well may be as well.
If you want to prevent pro-abort Dems from being elected across the board, you don't pick candidates based on how much they tickle your taint with how much they shake their fist as McConnell.

This is all on Moore, and the people who thought handing an Alabama Senate seat to the Democrats was worth it in order to give a big middle finger to the "GOPe".
Moore only narrowly won without the accusations of skeeze. And considering that the special elections so far have demonstrated that the Democrats are more energizes, organized, and have demonstrated the ability to get people to the polls, nominating Moore was very, very stupid.
Even then, Moore could have won since Jones is very pro-abort... but the fact that Moore, his wife, and his close supporters (including his own lawyer) were making pathetic excuses.
I get it, some people are so emotionally invested in hating the "GOPe" that they don't care how bad of a candidate they run just as long as that huckster of a candidate validates their feels and whine about the "swamp" and how the Illuminati/Rosicrucian/Stonecutters/GOPe are to blame for everything because they didn't clap for the fairies hard enough.

Nonsense. The hit job didn't come out until after the primary was over, so the GOP in Alabama was stuck with Moore. As far as Moore, he refused to be run off by false charges of child molestation. If the GOPe had supported him, maybe Moore would have picked up that extra half point and won the election.
And, there are plenty of GOPe types who love to make enemies with the base. NeverTrumpers being the obvious example.

And, there are plenty of GOPe types who love to make enemies with the base. NeverTrumpers being the obvious example.

It's never the case that 100% of people who call themselves Republicans vote for the Republican candidate (or 100% of people who call themselves Democrats vote for the Democratic candidate) but compared to previous years, there was no widespread refusal by Republicans to vote for Trump. Most who didn't like him held their noses and voted for him, probably more than 4 years before when a bunch of Republicans wouldn't vote for Romney. What happened here was a huge number of Alabamans WHO VOTED FOR TRUMP decided Moore was just a bridge too far, including their other Republican Senator who is anything but a RINO. This is 100% on the Alabama primary voters who voted for that idiot. Either Strange or Brooks would have won in a landslide. But they weren't sufficiently batshit crazy.

As if you've ever eaten hominem CBD. The shit's like corn ground up into a powder, then dragged across a concrete floor.
Like grits ground up into Cream of Wheat, except instead of that old nice black dude on the box and Mom putting a little milk in it ... imagine Satan stirring that shit with his barbed cock while sprinkling a little Kaboom on top ... with a side of Cancer.
Yeah ... I know ... some people here are battling Cancer. But ain't nobody battling that nasty Hominem shit.
We 'ought to send a case to North Korea. But I think there's UN Treaties against such shit.

If you're looking for something mildly funny -- and oddly hopeful for our culture -- watch "Norsemen" on Netflix. It's a Norwegian series about a Viking village -- inhabited by a number of extremely modern characters.
Their new chief decides to turn their village into the "arts center of the northlands", ordering them to build a theater and to turn their swords and armor into an "installation"...
It's not ROFL funny, and it really, really likes potty humor, but the choices of who are the villains, and why, and the very words they choose to justify their villainy... It gives hope that we're not the only people worried about where things are heading.

Again, this pro-abort Dem is going to the Senate due to Roy Moore and the people who not only enabled him, but sunk down to his level by blindly defending him.
While the GOPers who acted like the attacks on Moore were gospel bear no blame, eh?
The purity crowd in the GOPe can GFY, and can rest assured that the first American president since Reagan has been stymied. They can get back to turning the US into yet another Third World shithole.

The exists indicate that Jones did very well (if not outright won) women with underage children in the household.
Perhaps any other candidate could have survived the accusations, but Moore gave a non-denial denial, his wife made stuff up, his close political allies defended mackin' on teenagers and "Biblically" spiffy, and his own lawyer seemed to be saying that it would have been OK were it true.
It is clear that for many, this isn't about "establishment" vs. "conservative", "swamp" vs. the "salt of the Earth", or anything like that. It is all about latching on to candidates who makes you feel like you are not alone and that someone in power cares for them.
Politics may be about manipulating emotion of voters, but the actual political game must be bereft of such centering of emotion.

Christmas party for work tonight. I organized it, and it came off without a hitch. Everyone had a good time, and we did not run out of food.
Last year we almost did, so I ordered more meat and cheese trays this year. There wasn't much left over, so it was the right amount.
More people show up than RSVP. Makes it difficult to guestimate.

Trump was gracious:
"Congratulations to Doug Jones on a hard fought victory. The write-in votes played a very big factor, but a win is a win. The people of Alabama are great, and the Republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. It never ends!"
Jones will respond by calling for Trump to resign over accusations he groped a baby and raped a pony.

The allegations against Moore were completely lacking in evidence. They had a handful of women saying things happened 40 years ago. And, the allegations were not all of a particular pattern.
How hard do you think it is for those kind of stories to be constructed? All's you need is a bit of money to pay a few women to tell the story you want. When the events all allegedly occurred decades ago, it pretty hard to prove the stories false.
And, again, I'm not convinced that it was the Dems behind this hit.

That's irrelevant.
What Moore, as well as his wife, lawyer, and close political allies, said and reacted was what doomed him. Even if every accusation could be completely disproved, he had still outed himself.
The man was already barely tolerated in the state.
When his political buddies start saying that sure Moore didn't do it but if he had than it'd be totes Biblical and not a bid deal or a crime and stuff... it was all over for him.
Even then, I thought that he'd eeck out a win due to his opponents positions.
But the reaction against Moore was visceral. That, in the end, mattered more than one vote in the Senate for a few years. Most people don't care about politics. Most people do care about s**t like that.
Oh, sure, many people, including many people here, seem to need existential comfort in the form a candidates who says "I care about your feelz and I'll protect you from those Swampy monsters under your bed".

My take on tonight:
1. Moore was a shitty candidate and this isn't really a DEM WINS ALABAMA story. It's a SHITTY REPUBLICAN MANAGED TO LOSE BY 1% story.
2. Whatever the reason, it will have massive implications. The Dems now effectively control the senate. They sorta kinda already did, but now they truly do. With a cmbination of Flake, McCain and Collins they easily have 51 votes. So this means goodbye any chance of OCare repeal. And most importantly, goodbye Trump judges getting confirmed. They may still pass tax cuts before Jones is seated, but I wouldn't bet the farm on that.
3. The GOPe will tilt even further left now, thinking holy shit if Dems can win in Alabama, they can win anywhere.
4.Fuck Jeff Sessions

Outed himself as what, not gay friendly? That's not an unpopular position in Alabama.
>>>The man was already barely tolerated in the state.
False. He got elected to statewide offices a number of times. Even in the face of child molestation charges, he almost polled this one out. To say he was barely tolerated in the state is a fairy tale.
>>>When his political buddies start saying that sure Moore didn't do it but if he had than it'd be totes Biblical and not a bid deal or a crime and stuff... it was all over for him.
Most of what he was "accused" of was not a crime. It is legal to date 16 and 17 year olds in Alabama. I don't know anyone who said the allegations about the 14 year old were not a big deal. They said they didn't believe that story.
>>>Oh, sure, many people, including many people here, seem to need existential comfort in the form a candidates who says "I care about your feelz and I'll protect you from those Swampy monsters under your bed".
Nobody of consequence wants McConnell gone because of feelz. We want him gone because he is stymieing Trump in many things. To get him gone, we need Senators who will vote against him. It is pure political calculation.

I get it hat. You love in Nevada. Where your options seem to be establishment pathetic bitch or Ron Paul nutso's. But I a whole hell of a lot of the country that isn't the only option of choosing and there are alternatives capable of winning if the GOPe stops trying to decide that it must be their guy. Your botching about how we're so wrong for being pissed at the GOPe and their continuous fecklessness does nothing to prove any point you hope to make unless it's telling us all to sit down shut up and vote how our betters tell us to.

No. I'm telling people to stop emoting and start thinking strategically and politically, rather than gravitating to candidates that fill a politically emotional void.
Seriously, never, ever base your political decisions on how you feel emotionally.

You mean like freaking out when a blatant hit job comes out on a candidate after all deadlines are reached and he is definitely your candidate and you proceed to demand he leave the race and pull all outside support of him you can so he loses by a few votes in a deep red state that he could have won if you weren't backing the opponent and throwing up write in candidates.

>>>What Moore, as well as his wife, lawyer, and close political allies, said and reacted was what doomed him. Even if every accusation could be completely disproved, he had still outed himself.
Outed himself as what, not gay friendly? That's not an unpopular position in Alabama.
Did you not listen to the defense he and his political buddies were making?
>>>The man was already barely tolerated in the state.
False. He got elected to statewide offices a number of times. Even in the face of child molestation charges, he almost polled this one out. To say he was barely tolerated in the state is a fairy tale.
His previous statewide elections were close. But being a known quantity, I though he'd be able to pull it out. If he had not come out as a skeeze, he very well might have.
>>>When his political buddies start saying that sure Moore didn't do it but if he had than it'd be totes Biblical and not a bid deal or a crime and stuff... it was all over for him.
Most of what he was "accused" of was not a crime. It is legal to date 16 and 17 year olds in Alabama. I don't know anyone who said the allegations about the 14 year old were not a big deal. They said they didn't believe that story.
If you have to start relying on "it's not technically illegal", then you've already lost the argument.
>>>Oh, sure, many people, including many people here, seem to need existential comfort in the form a candidates who says "I care about your feelz and I'll protect you from those Swampy monsters under your bed".
Nobody of consequence wants McConnell gone because of feelz. We want him gone because he is stymieing Trump in many things. To get him gone, we need Senators who will vote against him. It is pure political calculation.

Dims over performed and GOPe under performed. Plus both parties and the MSM were calling Moore a pedophile 24/7. Jones should have won by 20 points.
This is a loss for The Inner and Outer Party of our dear administrative State.
Now Trump can go after the real pedophiles in all institutions and The Uniparty.
The psy op may have backfired. Lots of smoke with PedoGate burning out there.

It's supposed to be colder here all next week, too, but our Snowpocalypse consisted of one day (Saturday) of snow that actually stuck to anything and it was gone by Sunday afternoon. We had mostly rain and sleet otherwise, but it was warm enough that nothing froze on the roads until late at night. Mrs Hades was so disappointed.

there's an article on yahoo about greg gutfield being against moore. he felt a vote for moore was just a vote for republican party allegiance which he said is the thing that's hurting the country and that it would hurt the gop long term.
no. the vote for moore was to support the policy agenda of trump. now, with moore's loss, the senate and the legislative agenda will more likely be blocked. grid lock and nothing accomplished and what good is that?
even if moore was only in for one term, or just a few years, it would have been worth it for the votes on a couple of bills.

Your hatred for McConnell and the "GOPe" is more emotionally moving than Moore and company trying to justify macking on teenagers.
For most people the opposite is true, especially those with daughters.
Posted by: The Political Hat at December 12, 2017 11:48 PM (itfg0)
I personally think the Alabama voters couldn't quite run back to 1965 Alabama mentally and justify Moore dating 16 year olds. Remember, there are 18 year olds who vote in Alabama, just like everywhere else. Just like they can't understand pre civil war slavery issues, they aren't going to relate to a 30 year old( ancient in their eyes) looking for a "young wife". Particularly when many of them delay marriage or don't get married at all.
You can't win elections by only getting retirees to vote for you.
It's was the same problem Hillary had. The youth vote went to Bernie, and the working vote went to Trump.
Moore was not a good candidate. Since I'm not from Alabama, I took the word of those on here who were and were saying Moore was going to win in a landslide as accurate, even though Strange voted consistently with Trump and was his initial endorsement, and I couldn't understand all the hate for him. And now he's lost and that seat has gone to the Democrats. Jones will vote lockstep with Schumer on every single thing. So, the Senate will become more gridlocked and virtually nothing the House tries to put through will be voted on.
McConnell better change Senate rules while he still has a tiny majority.
For most people the opposite is true, especially those with daughters.

It's was the same problem Hillary had. The youth vote went to Bernie, and the working vote went to Trump.
Moore was not a good candidate. Since I'm not from Alabama, I took the word of those on here who were and were saying Moore was going to win in a landslide as accurate, even though Strange voted consistently with Trump and was his initial endorsement, and I couldn't understand all the hate for him. And now he's lost and that seat has gone to the Democrats. Jones will vote lockstep with Schumer on every single thing. So, the Senate will become more gridlocked and virtually nothing the House tries to put through will be voted on.
McConnell better change Senate rules while he still has a tiny majority.

Evening all, been forever since I've been on an ONT.
Shitty news from AL, I hope there's a way it bites the establishment good and hard without doing too much damage to the country.
On a personal note, looking at the prayer list posted earlier I'd like to ask for a small addition. The GFs oldest daughter got some serious burns over the weekend. Tthey did the grafts today and prayers for a full and speedy recovery would be appreciated.
Thanks, and never let the bastards get you down.

yeah. googled "gutfield moore" and a couple of articles came up. takeaway line: "i hope the guy loses."
thing is, if it's because of the underage date accusation, it rewards an unconfirmed smear from 30-40 years ago. is that the new standard? accusations?

"The idea that Moore would have won if only all those "GOPe" (who had been insulted on a very personal and very visceral manner) had "clapped for the fairies".
Moore lost by 1%.
What you are attempting to argue here, not very well, is that the combined efforts of Bitch McCunthole and his cronies didn't sway the vote by more than 1%.
You don't even believe your own bullshit, hoss.

Oh, if the "GOPe" had only gone all in on a P.O.S. who had gone out of his way to not only declare that he'd destroy them, but made it very very personal!
Because, that would have been the right thing to do. After all, if someone not only openly said that they'd destroy you, but fueled in with a visceral hatred greater than your alleged common enemy, of course you'd bend over and take it like a b***h for the heroic alpha male that all the teenage girls swoon over, amirite?

josephistan, as I noted in the rare post-, then pre-ONT ace thread, indeed there is the possibility now that any outsiders or non-Beltway-blessed newcomers or challengers face yet another serious obstacle (it's always been hard to challenge incumbents and party hacks) - a fully weaponized Dem/media slander machine, with a passive or slyly cooperative GOPe.
I welcome anyone who can point out to me any remotely similar occurrence, on the national level, of what we just saw: a candidate is smeared with pretty ridiculous slanders without any substantiation and enormous obvious credibility deficits, and "his" national party *instantly* abandons him. (*)
* the still jaw-dropping performance of Ryan and others when the "mish-grabbing" tape October surprise was unveiled might be considered equivalent - but that leaves one with finding any *other* examples in our modern history that come close to either of these

I also believe the Jones ad asking if a black man had dated 16 year olds would get him elected or jail was effective. Black voters already believe they are on the short stick of justice and that was simply a reminder. What better than to go vote against a 70 year old whitey judge who rides around on a horse and looks like he enjoys putting black guys in jail.

>>>Did you not listen to the defense he and his political buddies were making?
There were a lot of things said by a lot of people. Instead of me guessing what you are thinking about, why don't you just come out with it.
Moore's non-denial denial. His wife making things up. His surrogates including his lawyers saying that going after teenagers was OK or even "Biblical".
A 30 year old going after a minor will give most people a feeling of disgust. Trying to justify that sets that disgust in stone.
>>>If you have to start relying on "it's not technically illegal", then you've already lost the argument.
The age of consent is not a technicality. Most states have 16 as an age of consent. Most men make sure they are on the right side of the law and avoid the "jailbait". According to Moore, he did as well.
Just because it's legal, doesn't mean that everyone is going to say that it's just spiffy.
>>>Remember, you not only have to replace the Republicans who don't vote the way you want, but you have to elect those who will.
Yes, duh. Same goes to the other side. McConnell knocking out Moore proves even more that McConnell must go.

Ito missing his Tipharanes mark is pretty significant. Connelly's character should be a blond and smoking these thin cigarettes. The SnapChat filter eyes I can get around. I hope that song is not in the movie. The black woman next to Doc Ito is not in the manga or anime. What they did to Hugo, Rodriguez I think is trying to stamp his style on one character. Hugo in the anime is a street rat wearing rags and willing to be Vector's dog-robber.

Huh? Trump supported Luther Strange in the primary. When Moore won the primary, then eventually Trump supported him as the GOP standard-bearer. Which is what is supposed to be done.

Others have probably remarked on this but, with the benefit of hindsight, was there ever a more counterproductive train wreck of an Attorney General appointment than Jeff Sessions?
On reflecting tonight, I initially thought not, but then I remembered Bobby Kennedy. I am pretty sure horde history scholars can suggest other serious contenders. Loyal zealots like Holder and Lynch are not who I have in mind for this particular dishonor. I am thinking about the ones who clearly blew up in their President's face like a Roadrunner cartoon, at least when everything is considered. Nixon's Mitchell qualifies, but looks to me like a slacker compared to Beauregard.
Any other nominees? Rankings?

Trump said that he felt Moore would have a hard time winning the general election. My guess is that McConnell and the GOP knew about his past through opposition research , which of course, if they have, so do the Dems. And the Dems used it.

It's laughable that the GOPe is calling this a win after colliding with the Dims and MSM, falsely accusing a man and labeling him a pedophile 24/7, plus sharing a bed with Soros donating 60 million in Alabama, and openly trying to get Trump thrown out of office scheming with Soros. GOPe literally sided with the side of NAMBLA.
And they are happy about the 10k vote victory after a late write in campaign.
Squeaked it out by a point when it should have been 15 or 20 with everything thrown at the people. Congrats establishment. Enjoy those NAMBLA and Soros cocktails.

Trump did the bare minimum that should be expected of someone who desires their party to retain control of the senate.
If other republicans had even managed to just shut up instead of piling on, Moore would have very likely won. But no, Moore is an icky Christian whose antiquated method of courtship 40 years ago makes him a monster. We can't have that, we need more politicians that sleep around and kill their children because they're just so inconvenient. Faithful married men are just creepy, ya know?

My take on the Alabama debacle.
Damn shame Moore didn't win. Not 'cause I like Moore. But it's worse than people think that this particular (D), won.
But, lemonade can be made.
Remember Grayson, in FL? Utterly insane (D) House of Reps type. Full on, near-homicidal nutjub of the first order.
He rather stunk up his district, to say the least.
Sadly, a U.S. Senator has a LOT more pull than a Representative. Hence, more stink. Sadly, more damage.
But if this guy makes Dennis Kuzinich look reasonable, it can be spun into a stain upon the (D) brand.
If Alabama is stuck with the S.O.B., then go all judo moves on him, and get him to go extreme on all of his extremisms.
I mean, for real, in Senate votes that count. Make sure he racks up the Liberal Record from Hell.
Let's see how that plays out with the Alabama electorate in the next four years?
That said?
I don't care about Moore as a candidate. He was what he was; a crippled horse out of the gate.
Forget all of the other controversies, he was just religious hick enough to draw the ire of "elites" from both parties and coasts, and hence became Target #2, right behind Trump's #1.
The "teen" attacks would've never arisen, less the "religious hick" factor. That's a fact.
But that's all history now.
We've got a Libtard of the first order in Alabama to put the screws to.
Starting now.

>>>Moore's non-denial denial. His wife making things up. His surrogates including his lawyers saying that going after teenagers was OK or even "Biblical".
It was not a non-denial denial. Since there were multiple allegations, he gave differing defenses. Regarding the 14 yo, he flat out denied it. Said he never even met her. Regarding the older ones, he admitted to dating some of them, but said no sex took place. All in all, pretty specific as far as dates that took place 40 years ago.
>>>A 30 year old going after a minor will give most people a feeling of disgust. Trying to justify that sets that disgust in stone.
Most states set their age of consent at 16. They have decided that a 16 year old can make that decision and that it is ok for men to date them. Doesn't sound like they feel disgust.
>>>And what cleaver scheme did you have in mind?
The same plan we used when it came to getting Trump. By supporting politicians who are on our side.
>>>Hey, why not find a candidate who hates "teh swamp" and is also into bestiality. After all, it's legal in Kentucky, so it'd just be a nothingburger, right?
There's the difference. You think that dating 16 year olds is like fucking horses or dogs or whatever. I got news for you. Most people don't think or feel that way.

Trump backed Strange in the primary. He didn't back Moore until after he had won the primary. So tell me, who should have Trump backed after Moore had become the GOP nominee?

Final numbers: 100% reported in AL
Jones (D) 671,151 (2016 Clinton 729,547)
Moore (R) 650,436 (2016 Trump 1,318,255)
Write-in 22,810
Moore got LESS THAN HALF of Trump's votes and he only needed 51% of them to win
Plenty of blame to go around (McTurtle and the rest of the GOPe hacks, #TruCons and #NeverTrumpers, McMuffin, etc.), but sorry I gotta lay most of this at Moore's feet. He was a chronic underperformer in all his past races and this time he couldn't scare-up enough Trump voters to exceed the margin of fraud.
All that said, well played GOPe. I for one won't forget.

Magical thinking. Just because Dem judges in NJ are willing to ignore the law to help Dems, does not mean that judges in Alabama will be willing to pull the same shit. The governor of Alabama backed Moore. The Alabama GOP backed Moore. The only way that Moore wasn't going to be the nominee is if he quit, and he refused to do so.

I think many commenters are viewing the Moore loss tonight in a not-quite-correct perspective. (I sent money to Moore, FWIW; ultimately I saw him as preferable to another D senator).
Yes, Moore was a weak candidate (in the mold of Todd Aiken), and yes "someone" put a political hit (or 10) on him, and yes, the GOPe is Teh Ebil, ...
OTOH:
- Moore lost by ... 1%? ... while out-spent by how many times?
- A lot of people are Real Unhappy with the D's and the GOPe.
- ~4% economic growth!
- JOBS!!!
- The DogEaterCare Mandate is gone
- We have (very likely) another Obstructionist D Senator ...
- Again, Congress will not get things done, again.
I don't see the Moore loss as that bad; is there a chance that he was "helped" to become what the Elites would be a Failing Candidate ... again, he lost by ~1%, not 5% or more. Maybe this is an indicator.
I think 2018 will not be as bad as everyone thinks.

>>>Moore's non-denial denial. His wife making things up. His surrogates including his lawyers saying that going after teenagers was OK or even "Biblical".
It was not a non-denial denial. Since there were multiple allegations, he gave differing defenses. Regarding the 14 yo, he flat out denied it. Said he never even met her. Regarding the older ones, he admitted to dating some of them, but said no sex took place. All in all, pretty specific as far as dates that took place 40 years ago.
He admitted to it. That is wasn't illegal, or that it was (allegedly) spiffy back then does not change that he admitted it.
This was not some scheme by the "GOPe" or even the Dems.
He admitted it.
[bold emphasis mine]
>>>A 30 year old going after a minor will give most people a feeling of disgust. Trying to justify that sets that disgust in stone.
Most states set their age of consent at 16. They have decided that a 16 year old can make that decision and that it is ok for men to date them. Doesn't sound like they feel disgust.
Just because it's illegal, doesn't mean that a hell of a lot of people aren't going to be disgusted by it.
>>>And what cleaver scheme did you have in mind?
The same plan we used when it came to getting Trump. By supporting politicians who are on our side.
Moore was on no side but his own.
>>>Hey, why not find a candidate who hates "teh swamp" and is also into bestiality. After all, it's legal in Kentucky, so it'd just be a nothingburger, right?
There's the difference. You think that dating 16 year olds is like fucking horses or dogs or whatever. I got news for you. Most people don't think or feel that way.

I would also point out that the Democrats outspent Moore by a huge margin, and they barely won with a margin just over 1%.
They did the same thing against Handel in the GA congressional race and Ossoff lost.
When the 2018 election comes around, they'll be forced to spend most of their money defending seats.

2) He's not objectionable to McConnell, Flake, or other Burkean conservative thinkers.
On balance, a win.

I would have preferred that Jones lost. But at that point it was a question of managing whichever of the two bad results came to be.
I'm sure that Jones would have been objectionable to Burke. Most things in American politics today would have been objectionable to Burke.

Take a lesson from Michigan. Despite having a Republican governor and a Republican legislature and voting for Trump in 2016, we have two Democrat Senators. Why? the main reason is because the Republican party in Michigan is truly pathetic at finding and supporting Senate candidates. Secondly, the urban areas overwhelmingly vote Democrat, overwhelming the majority of the state that votes Rep. Stabenow is vulnerable, but only if the right candidate is supported by the party.
And thank heaven, it won't be Kid Rock.
We have several candidates that have declared and the one I think has the broadest appeal is John James. West Point grad, Veteran of Afghanistan, Iraq, as a fighter pilot, came home to run family business, grew business exponentially, earned second degree in business from Penn State and a MBA from U of M, married with wife and two kids, active in church. Black.
Hands down , a huge improvement over the candidates that limped into the races in the past, with almost no support or even ads.
Alabama needs to find the same young, energetic forward looking candidates. You have to appeal to as many age groups as possible.

It's Trump or violence. We're there. We've been there for a long while now. The Right must be reformed and made ready. Trump is essential to that task.

It's an un-civil war between the National Party "elites", who surmise that they can direct who or who is not a suitable candidate, all the way down to the dogcatcher level.
Vs. the Citizens. The Rubes. The Yokels. The Deplorables... who might think otherwise.
PERSONALLY, I think Moore stunk on ice. Not on the issues, but on persona.
But he would've won EASILY, with even the barest modicum of support from The Machine. Barring that, he'd have still won, sans the obstruction of The Machine.
And certainly, a nod to Hat's points. Moore severely underperformed vs. Trump's numbers in Alabama. He's not Alabama's "Favorite Son".
But, he'd be far more favored than what Alabama is about to face in the next four years, with their newly minted Libtard Senator.
Contrary to Hat though, this. FUCK McTurtle and ALL of his ilk, for their interference here.
I'm with Palp on this one. It was for the people of Alabama to decide this.
And those GOP/N.Y.C./D.C. SNOBS who deigned to INTERFERE, can fail, die and burn in hell.
And those are my GOOD wishes for them.
Oh, and yes.
Revenge comes. In one form or another, those damed "elites" (regardless of subspecies), will face the ire of The Base.

527. This is where we differ, and I'm not sure we could ever reach consensus.
Jones seems by every measure to be catastrophic for the advancement of anything approaching conservatism. Moore would have been, by ANY measure, otherwise. And as Moore won the primary, we must assume this was the opinion of the state's republican voters, as well.

That's a fair point, but he took the job and then quickly recused himself on its most critical matter in favor of in favor of Deep State types like Rosenstein and Mueller, by many accounts without giving Trump a fair opportunity to consider that he intended to duck the responsibilty. The resulting fiasco unfolds daily.
He may not feel that he is in any position to take action and win, but it is more than a year after the election and the assault from the other side has been relentless and unprincipled and Sessions has been MIA. What has Sessions done in a year that was productive? Erratically stepped up immigration enforcement? Pretty weak beer to me, compared to all the setbacks. We need an Attorney General who will fight, not another polite uniparty designated loser like McCain, Romney or Bush. I heard Howie Carr (sympathetic right of center radio host) interview Sessions last week with a mix of softball and thoughtful, tough questions. I hate to say it, but Sessions sounded like he is well advanced into Alzheimer's disease.
Is there anyone who wouldn't rather have Sessions back in his old Senate seat and almost any other serious candidate for Attorney General for the last year?

Mike,
The Dems will have a money advantage in 2018 and 2020, as they did in 2016. Their backers have to go all in, or it's over. It might be over for some of them anyways. And if they can flip R +1x districts, it is a huge advantage for them, not to mention their GOPe faction.
The Political Hat:
You talk like a political consultant- a competent one, for a change- but you're forgetting the fundamentals of your field. We trust in the judgement of our representatives: but their authority does not come from them. By divine providence and the Declaration of Independence, it comes from the consent of the governed.
I can't argue with how many people in Alabama clearly regarded Moore- a buddy of mine is talking about huge amounts of voters in Mobile with unregistered addresses and such- but if you're already going back to the well of "electable" you may have forgotten the lessons of 2016. It is possible to blame Moore for his dubious past and even more dubious PR defense (As someone who dismissed the Nelson forgery, I still can't believe some people are calling things "biblical.") But if you avoid talking about the GOP abdicating their GOTV, even messaging in favor of Jones- then you miss the expectations of their volunteers and small-dollar donors. If you want to be an advocate for the establishment, to whom the peasants should just offer deference, we can go from there.

--I was thinking this earlier tonight:
If it's illegal for foreign money to be donated to U.S. campaigns, maybe make it illegal for out-of-state donations?
Probably unworkable, even unconstitutional --or at least one more rule GOPe will "honor" while Dems repeatedly skirt.

You talk like a political consultant- a competent one, for a change- but you're forgetting the fundamentals of your field. We trust in the judgement of our representatives: but their authority does not come from them. By divine providence and the Declaration of Independence, it comes from the consent of the governed.

There is a difference between the "consent of the governed" in a government and social system conducive towards a more restrictive republican form of government and the Rousseau-esque "will of the people".
Elected officials are nothing more than stewards of a going concern, and one that "the people" can not on a whim recreate as if they were intelligent designers.

Trump is the wrong man who does the right things. To many political hobbyists, this does not make much if any sense, and there's a need to attach themselves to 'purity' as a limpet to the hull of a liner.

You're intentionally making somewhat antiquated but not abnormal behavior of the time intoan issue.
All republicans had to do was say "yeah that's pretty old-fashioned and not something you see anymore, but there exists no evidence for the allegations of misconduct" and it wouldn't have been an issue. Instead they brought out the knives and participated in the Dems portrayal of innocent courtship as salacious, just as you have been doing.
Now we're left with an effectively 50/50 senate for a year (Flake D) and tons of "mavericks" itching to cast the deciding votes for Dems.
Some strategy.

That doesn't change the fact that he admitted to going after teenagers at his age.

Except, that's not what did him in. It was the 14 year old and her claim of sexual contact. The WaPo and the people who constructed this story and handed it to them were very smart how they packaged this.
If it was just the false claim about the 14 year old, he could have focused on that and come out with an unequivocal denial.
Or, if it was just the 16 and 17 year olds that Moore did date, but with parental permission and nothing more than a kiss happening, Moore could have rode it out. Sure, some would be uneasy about it, but nothing like the false story about the 14 year old.
But, the two different kinds of things were packaged together which made it much more difficult to rebut. He admits to the relatively innocuous claims of kissing 16 & 17 year olds, and some people, like you, conflate it with the false claim of sexual contact with the 14 year old.
He tells the truth about the kisses, and the media screams child molester.

He didn't admit to "going after" teenagers; he acknowledged that he was wanting a teenaged wife, and was effectively "interviewing" prospects. Worth noting, that when he did eventually marry, his wife was exactly that much younger than him.

And ya, focusing on teenagers is an indicator of potential ephebophilia. Not say that he is, but certainly plenty of people thought so.
The "GOPe" did not cause people to suddenly think that as if before this election campaign everyone thought it was totes OK for such a disparate age difference when one is a minor.

Though this is true, it is also true that said votes were not well served by their Party Elders, especially at the National Level.
Much less by the Media Repubtards who march in lockstep with the Ryans and McTurtles of this world.
OBJECTIVITY simply does not exist in the media or reportage world.
Even the guys on our side have to rail on the side of the right, striving futilely to but stave the leftward swing of the pendulum, if only for a moment.
Still, as Kipling so rightly saw in his Gods of the Copybook Headings...
There WILL BE a rightening of the ship.
And when the keel snaps back to the vertical, it won't be gentle, it won't be graceful, it won't be pretty, and it won't spare so much as a mouse that's not securely lashed to the mast.

Jason Chaffetz was on one of the pundit shows a couple of nights ago and said that he has had direct conversations with Sessions on both the phone and in person and is not up to the job of AG.

First he pulls old corpse Cochran over the finish line, now he scuttles Alabama in favor of the dem.
Just proves he has the power. He is the king-maker.
Did'ja ever notice for whom the iron fist comes out, and who gets the velvet glove treatment?
Now Mitch can go back to squandering another once in a generation opportunity to enact anything of value to conservatives and with any luck can be minority leader in 2018 or 2020 at the latest.
Then TrueRepublicans can get back to being the loyal opposition.
Same parties, same gravy train, no responsibilities.
Meh. I wasn't sold on Moore. It's not my state. The spot is an audition at any rate, and I'm sure Moore just wanted to fill in his resume card.
I blanche that he lost because of the machinations of his own party.

A minor consolation is that when Roy Moore pursues redress through courts of equity for the libel and slander to which he has been subject, Lace Wigs & Machines for Sale, a NV LLC, will not be party to any action.

A very large difference, TPH. But as "restrictive" seldom applies to the literally uncontrolled bureau-cracy of 2017, we will have to skip ahead to the "becomes destructive of these ends" part of the debate. As my favorite one-way travel agent correctly realized, I am not asking for mob rule, or even direct democracy. I will insist on representatives with borrowed authority realizing that the going concern is not the brand name, the marble buildings, or even historical continuity. In this country, the people are more powerful than shareholders, and the litigation process can be rather explosive.

That he seemed to try to get multiple minors (yes, above the age of consent to screw, but still minors), in addition to already well known demeanor, was clearly troubling to plenty of people.
That is was legal does not mean the people will find it acceptable.

Cmon Horde, be honest. Who hasn't checked out a well built sweet thang from behind, only to have her turn around and be younger than you wished? That is your nature, and your blush is due to societal norms, not biology.
Answer wrong, and you'll be answering the age old question of "you know how I know you're gay?"

All you need to know about Political h\Hat. He goes and puts quotes around "GOPe." Because you know, there is no establishment. Its just some boogeyman us dumb overemotional hicks make up to attack. They definitely don't exist and have their own goals and efforts, and never ever all suddenly act en masse to go after or tank people that are unwilling to play the go along to get along game.
Now shut up and vote for the candidate your betters tell you to.

And this will of "We the People" can only be just because they are in opposition to TEH EEEVIL!!1!
It's silly when the Left entertains such fancies. Not less so than it is here.

Next time be sure to only vote for empty suits that have the approval of your nearest multinational corporation's HR drones. Their non-controversial canned phrases will usher in a not-too-bold age in America of slightly rising unemployment, stagflation, and generous welfare benefits. They will be handsomely rewarded for their efforts and inevitably end up as millionaires as a result. A true intellectual revival is at hand!

A minor consolation is that when Roy Moore pursues redress through courts of equity for the libel and slander to which he has been subject, Lace Wigs & Machines for Sale, a NV LLC, will not be party to any action. Repeat though it has any number of false and defamatory claims, the filing fees would exceed any funds recovered.

It ain't slander to say someone is a skeeze, or that other people think he's a skeeze.
I haven't said he did anything illegal.

You can't believe that authority is not granted at the individual level, TPH. Ask one of the plantation slaves, or a redcoat pulling his own guts back in. Power, and the authority it confers, comes from the barrel of a gun or the edge of a blade. And that tends to be very local indeed.
I get what your perspective is, and I am not lookjng to convince you. Just be wary: King George III also had a long pedigree, official legitimacy, and a relatively pliant populace.
For a while.
Hey Alberta, I have no quarrel with who he married, or even his courtship (the legit ones, not the obvious fakes from troubled women). Unless that was just a joke.

Now the truth. Alabama had the misfortune of being a test case in an era of nationalized local politics. Whether there was fraud or not depends on the veracity of those who would be tasked to find it, and not on whether it exists or not.
In a historically (for more than a generation) Red State, it would appear that forces conspired to scuttle Moore and succeeded.

I always wondered. Did you ever hear about the russian Horses that were in Nixon Texas? I still got a few from there.

I wonder if Moore will seek a recount on his own, or pursue instances of
voter fraud? Would not surprise me to learn that some illegal aliens
voted.

why do that?
just hire MS-13 to pay back Mitch the Bitch, Ryan and a few other top RINOS. they already have a big presence there in VA, etc, near DC, and we have their word there isn't a threat.
since illegals aren't a problem, according to them, that would solve several problems at once...

Palpy, this isn't helpful. I met Hat at the GNAMM, and he is a very gracious and friendly gentleman in person. He has hitched his political wagon to a broke-down and spavined old horse, but that does not alter the fact that he is a good guy. He just needs to take the blinders off.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at December 13, 2017 02:24 AM (oPNmq)
And can attest that AOP is a good guy.
I will also attest that I am not squish and have in fact I have worked to stop their selling out. I've opposed the Left, I've opposed the entitled elitism of politicians and bureaucrats, and I've always tried to get at the true root of what is making all that possible.
I just know that you can't have everything you want right now. I also know that if you want to make fundamental changes to have to get your ducks in a row in order to even begin effecting fundamental changes. That takes time. Oh, that some use it as an excuse to do nothing or worse does not mean that demanding all or nothing right now is the only alternative to being hitched to a "broke-down and spavined old horse".
This isn't an either/or proposition.

Why? Trump has learned from the previous occupant how to get things done within the executive branch. I'm sure he'll continue to do so.
Luckily for us at this moment in time, congress has offloaded their duties to the executive for a long time, and reeling that power back in would require intestinal fortitude.
I'm not a Trumper, I'm an American. What Trump has done so far has been pleasantly suprising and one year in, I'd say there's more good than bad to come.
Take the yardage and a cloud of dust. It leads to first downs and eventually points.

Fellow Hordelings... all may not be right with the world but God is still in his Heaven and we are still his beloved. Our loved ones that were there yesterday are still there to hug and love today. The sun will come up in a few hours and life will go on. And, bonus, despite some fractiousness tonight, we get to hang out with Morons tomorrow. I think that is a very good thing.
This will temporarily make it harder to get good judges in place (and Turtle needs to be pressured to get as many through as possible before Jones takes office with NO breaks or temper tantrums allowed by the Dems) but I think that will be the only immediate effect of Alabama's special election.

This is all on Moore, and the people who thought handing an Alabama
Senate seat to the Democrats was worth it in order to give a big middle
finger to the "GOPe".
Moore only narrowly won without the accusations of skeeze. And
considering that the special elections so far have demonstrated that the
Democrats are more energizes, organized, and have demonstrated the
ability to get people to the polls, nominating Moore was very, very
stupid.
Even then, Moore could have won since Jones is very pro-abort... but
the fact that Moore, his wife, and his close supporters (including his
own lawyer) were making pathetic excuses.
I get it, some people are so emotionally invested in hating the
"GOPe" that they don't care how bad of a candidate they run just as long
as that huckster of a candidate validates their feels and whine about
the "swamp" and how the Illuminati/Rosicrucian/Stonecutters/GOPe are to
blame for everything because they didn't clap for the fairies hard
enough.

659 Nah. He was actually reflective and willing to think on what was said in his last comment. Last time chemjeff was around he was in full troll behavior with a martyr complex wanting ace to ban him.

658 Nope. I just read parts of the thread as the ONT was already up.
Buzz. you know CJ was well liked by many. I thought he was a grade A+ troll, well worth what Axelrod was paying him. Or whoever that guy that runs Media Matters is.
Point is, he left on really insane terms, but early on he had a persistent but still pleasant way of advocating his point, and people liked him.
Davedavdavarf was like CJ just before he derailed.

I'm allowed to weigh in on mental health issues because CBD called me a radiation mutant today.
We've seen more than a few people go off the rails. You can see someone's mental health slipping, sometimes coming back, sometimes not.
I thought CJ was a basically good guy whose mental health slipped.

I'm pretty sick of the GOPe and people that regularly shill for them having a freakout about a candidate they don't like, dropping all support for them, running write in candidates, and even outright supporting the Democrat opponent, and then its a narrow loss. And then they go and shout "SEE! This is why you can't run these types of candidates! They always lose! Do it our way and support who we tell you to."
Maybe it would have some merit if they would actually give some real support and effort to those candidate the people chose, and then they lost and went "ok we tried it your way and it didn't work come back and work with us to get a good candidate." But of course giving that real support to a candidate like that could have some catastrophic consequences to their narrative on the "crazy out there guys," like something insane and one of them winding up as our 45th president.

I think the anonymity of the internet gets you, in general, a version of peoples' true selves, which is why I spend most of my blog time here at AOS. We could all be assholes all the time like in many comment sections, yet we don't as a general rule. I appreciate that, and think of this place as one of (if not the most) intelligent and thoughtful HiveMinds on the Net.
Sure, we can all be asshole some of the time, and some of us go off the rails big-time (AmishDude, CJ) but by and large the true nature of the commenters here is first rate.
I do wonder about all those names who used to contribute here but no longer do. Most of them added more than they subtracted, and I wonder why they left.

Hordespergers.
Except I don't mean it in the lost your mental health sense that we're talking about here, but the weaponized autism. My favorite example is from a few years ago when I was talking about what I thought might be a rabid opossum and not one, but two, Morons immediately told me what the body temperature of an opossum is and how it's not high enough to sustain the rabies virus.
I get more examples everyday, of course. Hordespergers is awesome and terrifying at once.

This. The people getting pissy about Moore being a giant fuck you to McConnell have very short memories about McConnell's vow to destroy conservatives. Moore lost because the GOPe threw him under the bus. If instead of immediately calling for his resignation after the accusations (that I still think they planted) were made, they had demanded proof and decried the attempts to demonize the R candidate falsely, Moore would have won.

I hate to see the AL seat lost to the Donks. If I was in AL I certainly would have voted for Moore simply because we need the GOP votes and it overrides anything he may have done 40 years ago. Hell, how many convicted felons run Donk cities.
That being said, Moore just didn't have the charisma to fight off the uneasiness and creepiness that he engendered in lot of people by being a guy who in his 30's trolled for teenage dates. He just wasn't a good candidate. This left a hole that the Donks and GOPe leveraged to maximum advantage.
I never followed the details of his campaign, but did Moore ever give good reasons why the voters should vote for him? Trump was brilliant in his ability to stay on message to his supporters despite all the sleeze thrown at him. I hope there are other promising young candidates who learn from his 2016 campaign.

I dunno. i am melancholy this time of year.
it makes me think of all those who are not with me that i care about. the ones i love no longer here, those i know who suffer. I miss my Prodigal. Wonder if hes still reading here.
I had to talk about it with pops last night. other things on my mind had driven me up a tree. Most other people getting in the way of friendships that should be direct and worrying about Prodigal.
My Pops said something profound. He said that if you really care about someone you will find a way to get in touch. fight your way through whatever and make contact. Made me think of Prodigal stealing a phone to call, or finding me at Table9chat .com. And i realized its true. He was in a really bad headspace. I hope he knows he can always call, or look me up. I would hope he would keep fighting, that we were still really friends. People still ask about him. We dont care that hes not ok.
the thing about loving someone is you dont love them because they are strong or they are badass, or you admire them so damn much, for getting shot eight times. Fuck i knew you when you were sick. When someone is truly close to you, you just love THEM. the dumb things they do. The stupid songs they got you to listen to, and now i like goddamn Cake. I like someone because of the way they exposed their soul to me, and let me touch it, even the ugly parts. Its hours spent talking, paintings painted, or the fact you took me with you to work, in a godforsaken place and carried you with them in their phone. Hilarious lies told that were clearly lies but so goddamn amusing that i loved you as the asshole you were. yeah even that. I love the way you love cats.
the thing about the yellow sundress.
it doesnt matter when you get sick or are an asshole or have to face youre an addict or the biggest jerk in the world. your friend looks for you.
they want you to call.
and nobody cares that youre an jackass or what you did or didnt do.
forget about how i yelled at you. Its time to come in from the cold Prodigal. I dont give a shit. Its fucking Christmas, first day of Hanukkah for you. Tomorrow isnt promised. And i worry about you.
there a couple people like this in my life, not just the prodigal. I cant call you. I dont have a way to contact. i know you read the blog, Prodigal, though i have been away for a while i hope you see this. this year had been particularly hard, but a call would make it worth it.
if you lost all contact info, go to Table 9 and i think Rose and Birkie would for sure come get me. You KNOW that. touch base and tell them to get Karagush, and i will figure out how to make it happen.
Pops thinks you will figure it out.

I know a few guy who were pulling in young women long past "my" due date, and they were the kind of guys you'd drink beer with. Laugh at their stories, get a bro-hug at the end of the night and you'd generally think they were good folks.
And I have a relatively small social circle.
Until you run for office. Suddenly a man's shit has to be chrome plated and his past a list of awards and certificates.
He did it because he could, and as AOP rightfully noted above, he did it while looking for a wife, not trolling the high school like Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused.
They told you he was creepy and you should feel uneasy about it and it worked.
*maybe not you personally, but it worked on enough people.*
ps. I don't know the guy, so "they" may be right, but I do know media bias and that's enough to give me pause.
In the end, what should have been a state election was decided by forces outside Ala. and that's a shame, but that will be the new normal for the foreseeable future.
That being said, Moore just didn't have the charisma to fight off the uneasiness and creepiness that he engendered in lot of people by being a guy who in his 30's trolled for teenage dates.

Every election Democrats desperately need to win sexual allegations will be tossed out there, it will the only thing you will here for awile about Trump.
And nothing will get don in the Senate Prof Jacobson points out considering the lack of Trump support in the Republican side.

Might you find solace and joy in this season, Gushka.
Might a strong, yet gentle hand guide you through.
Might your love be a beacon of goodness, cutting through the darkness.
When nothing seems to be "gravy", I have to make my own. (Don't mess with that, you Morons)

There is no way to hug away that pain. I am so
sorry. Those who have gone before and await me in His Home feel no pain
but every single day their loss tears a hole in me. I cant imagine how
it feels to lose a son. words seems so lame always in the face of a loss
like that. you must hate holidays.

I try not to loathe the holidays but I haven't been able to have a Christmas tree in the house since he died. I miss him every day but the pain gets worse on holidays (and his birthday and the anniversary of his death). Most of those days, I just have to sit very still and let the pain roll over me until it stops. That hymn that talks about sorrows rolling like sea billows feels very accurate during those times. BUT we get through and there is still tomorrow.

friends are important.
we all fuck up. but the weight of loss is to heavy this year. while there is still life people should be reconciled and reach out to each other.

i have different kind of sorrows (loss of a couple of Best Friends) and prodigal, divorce, and i like to say grief doesnt so much get less, as you learn to live around the sharp edges of it, and get cut less and less often, if you are lucky. But there are moments, like i had earlier tonight where you see pictures and you hear friends talking, and it cuts hard and deep, and all you can do is gasp through the pain, and maybe count the seconds as you figure out how to collect yourself.
Right now i am failing, and have been told by my loved ones i am being snappy and difficult. I am also sick, crippled, and eaten alive by grief. I dont know how you do it. I really dont.

--Six years ago a cousin of mine killed himself on Christmas Eve. His mom, my aunt, is a favorite of mine. In '05 she lost her husband, and the summer before the suicide, her dad (my grandpop).
At my cousin's memorial, there was some mixture of sorrow and anger. My brother was pissed. In his mind, he was looking around the friends of our lost cousin there and thinking, "Okay, which one of you shits drove him to this? I know one of you talked him into this!"
The following spring, my son was born. I told my family, "We've had losses this year. Let's have more marriages and births and keep the family growing."
When I think of forgetting, it's not binary. A lot of the time we can forget, but when we don't forget, the pain remains.

I can sometimes put the losses aside and be to busy, like i said slip around the sharp edges and not get cut on the shoals of grief. But right now my mom is dying, and I have been really sick, and so i am not able to throw myself into work or the things i love that make me happy so i am not so much dwelling on it as tonight i feel it sharply. Reminders keep popping up, people keep asking and oh god, the pictures. Thats maybe the worst. I cant get away from them.

Makes perfect sense, as Shelby was a democrat who switched his affiliation in the mid-nineties so he could continue screwing conservatives in the Senate.

It's a small class with round tables that I can walk around in, which I do in order to change everyone's perspectives and keep the wallflowers from hiding in the back.
If someone's on a cell phone I'll be there, looming over them and shaming them. It hardly ever happens.

Legal Insurrection article is preaching to the choir. Yes, that's the correct perspective.
We became a third world country in 2008.
What are we going to do about it? OPSEC.

Greetings fappers and fappees.
What fresh hell awaits us this day? Besides Mish McConnell making certain he has a fellow anti-American Prog in the Senate by his pushing Mo Brooks out of the race earlier, that is.
Good job there, Mish. Way to screw the country over once more.

On the plus side, it's 20 degrees out with wind gusts to thirty miles per hour.
Wind chill is four degrees.
And the bay window that I gutted, resealed and insulated, and re-decked over the summer has not a single gust of air movement coming through it.
Seriously.
I'm sitting against the exterior wall, with my shoulder into the opening of the bay window area, where all the plants are sitting..

""I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office that there's no way he gets elected -- but I'm afraid we can't take that risk. It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40."
Who is Andy?? Andrew McCabe? Am I reading too much into this or do we have these assholes dead to rights with these texts?

After an ankle surgery this year. I thought it would be better if I hired someone to do the snow on my driveway. Well, too late. I called 4 places and they tell me they are already booked.
I can kind of do it. Just not real steady on ice. My feets are too big for those gator cleats you can get for your boots.
So, it should be an interesting winter.

I tell the kids wearing basketball shorts that this is a heat wave compared to February. I call one of them "Tough Guy." We have a coach that wears shorts in the snow, with sandals.
I'd think your CO mountains would block more of our weather, but it's really a barbed wire fence in Nebraska that holds back the cold. Sometimes.

I had my first trial run with 46" blade on tractor with chains over the weekend. We had about five inches of snow on the grass, maybe an inch and a half on the driveway. The kind of 'just enough' snow to be annoying and why I went this route. The blade worked just fine after adjusting the skid feet a little higher.
One pass to the end of the driveway, then return would be plenty to get a car out quickly. A job that usually requires about an hour with shovel.

In high school, I wore flip flops every day, even in the winter. Granted that was in Texas but in the summer I could walk on the asphalt with no shoes too. Now, my feet get cold and I have to wear socks, even in the house.

And that's just two people. I shudder to think how many more Prog political operatives Bronco Bama was able to infest that agency with.
So much for neutrality and objectivity. And so much for being able to trust that my own government would do the right thing.
And the Moore defeat at the hands of McConnell means that there's yet another enemy of the people in power, making the draining of the swamp that much more difficult.

What kind of tractor? Would a PTO and blower be faster?
Posted by: NaCly Dog at December 13, 2017 06:40 AM (hyuyC)
It's made by MTD with an eighteen horse engine. I'm not sure a blower would be any faster, but it would get the snow far away instead of having mounds of snow which become an issue with successive snowfalls.
In my area it's usually a sequence of snow, then it all melts, then another snowfall, then melting. This setup isn't the best for everyone but it was the cheapest solution for me.
Being on the edge of a climate zone most of the time we end up with about three inches of pure slop. A combination of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Heavy damp stuff that a snowblower would choke on. Heart attack type of shoveling is required. I think those eighteen horses should handle it easily.
