Posted by: NaCly Dog at December 12, 2017 08:26 PM (hyuyC) 225
The Black Belt is a region of the U.S. state of Alabama. The term originally referred to the region's rich, black topsoil, much of it in the soil order Vertisols. The term took on an additional meaning in the 19th century, when the region was developed for cotton plantation agriculture, in which the workers were African- American slaves. After the American Civil War, many freedmen stayed in the area as sharecroppers and tenant farmers, continuing to comprise a majority of the population. The sociological definition of the "Black Belt," as related to this race, refers to a much larger region of the Southern United States, stretching from Maryland to Texas but centered on the Black Belt of uplands areas of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. You may now continue.

From the NYT latest estimate:
Right now, our most likely estimates span Jones +13 to Moore +15. I call weapons grade Bull$hit. Posted by: The Great White Scotsman at December 12, 2017 08:53 PM (+Dllb) 465
Looks like after the absentee ( read Democrat forgery votes) had an early lead for Jones the actual vote are flooding in as a Moore win. The Buzzed site folks have the sadz (yay!). If these keeps up ~ my prediction of Moore between 7 to 10 will sound like I should, perhaps , replace polls and get paid sh*loads of money to make election predictions.

They must know that this kind of attack is very dangerous to republicans. If all you have to do is scour someone's past, exaggerate it, manufacture some collaboration, and then have everyone clutch their pearls,... well no one is safe.

They can only investigate what he did while a sitting Senator. McTurtle the Chinless gots nuttin.
Posted by: Side draft at December 12, 2017 08:50 PM (ohP/V) ++++ No. If someone found an old home movie of Moore sodomizing an 11 year old, even if the statute of limitations had run out, they could throw him out of the Senate. Not just could; would and should. But, most Senators are not going to want to have a lot of inquiries into 40 year old stuff. Never know who else might get bitten. I predict they will go through some kind of process. Moore will deny it all. The accusers will have their chance to say their piece. If they are smart, they will stop it in the Ethics Committee for lack of evidence. If the dumb party lets it out of the Ethics Committee, then a lot of GOPers will have to vote on the record on something they would be better off avoiding. Posted by: Anon Y. Mous at December 12, 2017 09:00 PM (FUu/Z) -------- No. The Senate Ethics Committee (laughs) can only investigate the actions of Senators while seated. The DOJ would have to investigate past actions.

But, the constitution give the Senate the authority to kick out its members, and it doesn't say anything about only things that happen while the Senator is in office. The Senate makes their own rules, and they decide how to enforce them. McConnell has called a meeting for tomorrow of all GOP Senators. The purpose of that meeting will be to decide how to deal with Moore. They will find a way to cover their asses. It's going to the ethics committee.

@794, I have very strong opinions on this, but my brother seriously dated and was about to propose to an 18yo when he was 31. (It was after graduation, like that makes a difference.) Then she dumped him, and 3 months later he began dating her best friend and then they got married when she was 20 and he was 33.
Ditto my cousin who banged and later married her college professor her freshman year, two girls I knew at college sleeping with professors, and three girls in high school who got married the summer after graduation to guys ~10 years older. I'm not saying I don't raise an eyebrow, but 17/18 is hardly a child bride sold for five goats or something. Posted by: sunny-dee at December 12, 2017 09:36 PM (QAOZh) 844

Jefferson county is currently going 80%+ Jones and has ~40000 votes still uncounted, enough to put him ahead.

Moore is only up by 8%. Jones wins. It's over.
Posted by: Mega at December 12, 2017 09:39 PM (rv0Fo) 881
I think about it like this. Suppose Trump is running against Taxajewia, and its neck and neck. Plum tied. Now suppose there is only one county outstanding and it is Shelby County, TN (Memphis).
How would you bet? I think thats how they do it. Moore might be ahead, but there's a bunch of Jones county precincts out...maybe more than there are Moore precincts. So Moore can be ahead but we could still bet on Jones to win, depending on whose vote is left to count. Sorry, I'm not so good at the whole writing thing.

My guess is you don't have kids. I have daughters.
What part of "I don't like it" did you miss? Or did you simply ignore that part deliberately? The age of consent is set by the nation, by voters. They seem to think its okay even if its skeevy to some people. If there was a huge problem with it, the age would be moved up. As many have pointed out in the past in the 70s in the south this was hardly strange or noteworthy. Several of the girls interviewed said their parents gave her permission. So lets stop acting like this is something bizarre and horrendous, beyond the pale. Let me flip your idiotic "you don't have kids" crap on its head. if your son was 30 and wanted to date a 16 year old, would you say that makes him a monster? Someone who should be beat up?

The courts have no say in how the Senate conducts its business. If they refused to seat Moore at all, something that the constitution requires, then SCOTUS would step in. But, the constitution give the Senate the authority to kick out its members, and it doesn't say anything about only things that happen while the Senator is in office. The Senate makes their own rules, and they decide how to enforce them.
McConnell has called a meeting for tomorrow of all GOP Senators. The purpose of that meeting will be to decide how to deal with Moore. They will find a way to cover their asses. It's going to the ethics committee. Or wait, maybe you still think DOJ will be involved? Posted by: Anon Y. Mous at December 12, 2017 09:35 PM (FUu/Z) ------- Wow, so the law matters not?

Senate candidate Roy Moore, a Republican from Alabama, has been accused by a woman of making sexual contact with her in 1979 -- when she was 14 years old and he was 32 years old, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
The woman, Leigh Corfman, alleged that Moore took off her shirt and pants, kissed her and touched her over her underwear. According to the Code of Alabama, a person commits the crime of sexual abuse in the second degree if the individual, "being 19 years old or older, subjects another person to sexual contact who is less than 16 years old, but more than 12 years old." The crime is a misdemeanor offense and punishable by up to one year in jail. The age of consent in Alabama is and was 16. http://bit.ly/2AOsxkf Posted by: The Political Hat at December 12, 2017 09:46 PM (itfg0) 972

>>According to the Code of Alabama, a person commits the crime of sexual abuse in the second degree if the individual, "being 19 years old or older, subjects another person to sexual contact who is less than 16 years old, but more than 12 years old." The crime is a misdemeanor offense and punishable by up to one year in jail. The age of consent in Alabama is and was 16.

I don't remember it that way blaster. It was strong for Hillary up front, just like I was. Then when I started thinking, hmm maybe there is a chance for Trump it tightened. Then it started to favor Trump, maybe around 8pm central, and it kept moving toward Trump's way.
Early that needle was favoring Trump when no one else was even talking about it. The reason I remember so well, was because I was totally depressed and went to Buffalo Wild Wings, the one place I knew would not have politics on TV. Then I started watching my phone, at 7:30 central I came home and ace had the link to the needle and it moved exactly the way it should have, in my mind, all night. I think the person above who said the needle is 538 is exactly right. Right now the needle is really moving in Moore's direction with Jones slightly favored. I would love to hear from star man.

"Alabama, you're giving the liberal media a victory, is that what you want?" No, it's not what we want. You guys need to ask yourselves, why is it that the media ran this same playbook against Trump and he won Alabama in a blowout? Could it be possible, just POSSIBLE, that the problem here is not Trump, is not Alabama, it's Roy Moore. "Going forward the Media is going to use this same playbook against every GOP nominee." They've done that. They tried it against Ted Cruz and, you know what? Nobody bought it. Unfortunately Roy Moore is not Ted Cruz. Folks looked at Cruz and couldn't imagine him cheating on his wife.

I mean I was willing to go along with smear job until Moore went on Hannity and said that he did date girls in that age group in his 30s, but this particular girl was lying about it.
Then a few days later, he said he never dated underage girls. Those two statements are not in conflict. 16 and above were not underage, and the 14 y.o. was lying. There are two separate issues here that people keep trying to conflate. Posted by: Grey Fox at December 12, 2017 10:05 PM (bZ7mE) 1176

Folks looked at Cruz and couldn't imagine him cheating on his wife. Folks look at Roy Moore and they see a sleaze.
I think its more they saw Roy Moore and have been so trained by media to think of strong, outward Christians as hypocritical perverts, so they were more willing to buy into it. Moore isn't a very likable figure so I think it has a lot less to do with the pervy angle than just people not being super fond of him. But either way: still way better than his opponent, and only for a short term. And better than 1 more Dem in the Senate to help block bills and nominations by Trump. So... If Alabama falls for this crap, its on them what happens next. And we won't forget it. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at December 12, 2017 10:06 PM (39g3+) 1181

I've suggest variations on this before, but we need a constitutional amendment to the effect that election results have to be tabulated in order of population.
EG, no results are tabulated until the big city reports its results. Then the second biggest and so on. It would make it a lot harder for Philly or Seattle to produce an accurate number of fake votes... Posted by: 18-1 at December 12, 2017 10:06 PM (Z8FFX) 1185

The only reason these RINOs pretend to care about some 40 year old he said/she said is because what they actually wish for is another D in Washington to impede Trump's agenda.
It takes far less incentives(bribes) and political capital to shave away 2 R votes than 3, and it's one less squishy that loses their cover on close votes. RINOs have gotten very afraid of conservatives winning, so they've all been desparately raving that Moore is a monster, not the guy who supports butchering babies up to a second before they would take their first breath.

But I've also been saying it for a while: a paralyzed Senate only makes actual Republicans put even more of their faith in President Trump.

What's to stop the Washington Post from drumming something bizarre up about him? Or the next candidate? Or all of them?

"1244 Sure and if Conservatives are dead to the GOP the GOPe will be dead within two cycles.
It'd akin to the donks saying to Blacks, "don't vote." --- Nope. The GOPe has demonstrated that they are perfectly happy with minority control in the houses and the Dems are happy to give it to them to keep the illusion of democracy up - in fact they prefer it that way and they'll happily keep that. Eventually they might lose total control.. maybe... But McCain and McConnell will be dead and already have their legacies established. As I've said elsewhere - it's time for a new political party.

Well, the media got their scalp. They waited until the choice was a pedo or a Democrat, and they achieved their goal. This was the plan for the Access Hollywood tape for Trump but it didn't work out because Trump is a dynamic figure and Moore is not. This will be their playbook for every Republican candidate, a propaganda boon and a fundraising bonanza for the commies.

Current "Senate Rules", lets call them "laws", do not allow what you suggest and apparently hope for.
Could they vote to change them? Sure. Very unlikely scenario though, given the situation. Delusion must be a fun pass time, but is not helpful in RW scenarios. Be well, I am done with this topic with you. Posted by: Side draft at December 12, 2017 10:08 PM (ohP/V) ++++ In the real world, we understand the difference between a law and a rule. They are different things, so we have different words for them. A Senate rule can be changed by the Senate alone. They don't need to run it be the House or POTUS. They just change it, as they did for Gorsuch. They will send Moore to ethics, assuming he gets elected. Posted by: Anon Y.

Certainly the Alabama GOP people didn't but the DNC's GOTV funded with Soros dollars did.
"The pair of Washington-based super PACs are two of the largest in Democratic politics. Priorities spent at least $190 million to try and elect Clinton in 2016, while Senate Majority spent more than $90 million in that election cycle. The groups have collected checks from a gamut of top Democratic donors, led by longtime party contributors like George Soros, Jim Simons, Haim Saban and Fred Eychaner." https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/pj- gladnick/2017/12/11/ alabama-politico-reveals-secret-funding-democrat-candidate-doug Remove spaces.

I think we should amnesty the Dreamers. Here's how we do it.
We say the dreamers are Americans. They deserved to be citizens. They deserve to vote. BUT, we have to have border security. For every child that makes it here illegally, ten more die. Our border policy is killing millions of innocent women and children. It must be secured to stop that. Lets secure the border because that saves lives, and let's grant amnesty to the dreamers because that is the right thing to do. All it takes is Trump to drive that and insist on border security first. The dreamers are Americans. I talk to them every day. If Trump could get that border locked down first, and then amnesty them, that would create loyalty among a lot of them. I promise you, despite what you see on TV, they get the American dream, and they want it. Consider this: what minority group constitutes the fastest growing segment of entrepreneurs? You know who it is. My neighbor Rudi owns a painting company. Do you know what kind of Christmas lights he has? Hint, they are not lights Texas Dave would approve of. In other words, he is a man that would prefer to keep his hard earned money. Because he built that. Posted by: davedavdavarf at December 12, 2017 10:41 PM (BLayO) 1393

People will remember that Trump stood by the guy when everyone else ran for cover, stood for the values Moore affirmed. Many sat this one out. The only antidote would have been to fabricate or discover sex accusations against Jones. But Franken and Conyers were casualties too, the Dems assumed Moore would win. Too clever by half.

Grumpy, I apologize for ignoring you. It's a valid point. I really don't know. Sven is right that we don't want Venezuela coming here. I totally agree. I play warcraft with a young Mexican and I asked him why he thought Americans were so much against illegal immigration.
I told the answer to that was the same reason Texas does not want migrants from California: socialism. Nothing racist about. If our real problem is socialism, does keeping the parents but not allowing them to vote a solution. I think we can get the border secured. The arguments for that are very rhetorically sound.

One fun way I like to argue it is this: conservative immigration policy favors diversity and allows equal access for all countries. Because the conservative policy follows the law, it is safer and fair to peoples of all countries. It also keeps our country safer. Posted by: davedavdavarf at December 12, 2017 11:38 PM (BLayO) 1513

I'm tired and out of practice, it's like this. When the GOP flipped the House in 1994 the donks ran the demographics and admitted in places like Newsweek "golly we may have aborted too many young democrats." Posted by: sven10077 at December 12, 2017 11:39 PM (SzZnW) 1514
Yes, redbanzi, I agree that sucks. The hole is at the border. I just think we have a better chance of getting that hole closed if can agree that once it is closed, our policy with regards to the dreamers will be compassionate.
I would sure hate to be a twenty year old raised here thinking about being deported to Mexico. Hell, I'm scared to go to Cancun. Posted by: davedavdavarf at December 12, 2017 11:40 PM (BLayO) 1515

RIGHT-O! //The UK looking for their debauched daughters You go on ahead and gift the donks 12.5 million new votes, and I will use the new voters to break this nation up. "Moderate Middle" will be somewhere in the Neighborhood of at best Vincente Fox and at worst Hugo Chavez......

How are you gonna get that border closed? You think we can do it without even hinting at a solution for the dreamers? I'm asking. How to get it done?
As a 90 year old man, you have a lot of experience. How do we get that deal if the other side puts pictures of young, hard working, college going, English speaking hispanics, who love American and don't want to be made homeless? Posted by: davedavdavarf at December 12, 2017 11:45 PM (BLayO) 1519

Posted by: davedavdavarf at December 12, 2017 11:38 PM (BLayO) You are wrong. History proves you are wrong both on the politics and what would happen with legalization of illegals. Moreover, voters have made it very clear to their representatives since 2005 at least that we will murder them politically if they pass amnesty. you can quote all the polls you want, revealed preferences of all voters, even the low information ones, does not support amnesty. And no one has the right to access to our country unless we say they do and it benefits us (which it doesn't). Diversity is the last freaking thing this country needs.

If I understand you banzai, the argument is already won. The people want the border closed. The politicians just need to do it. I don't need to discuss this at all with my liberal friends.
I personally don't feel good about deporting dreamers, but I want that border closed. Though, I guess if you must insist on deporting the dreamers, I must hold out my support for closing the border. But, if you can convince me that the dreamers will be taken care of in a compassionate way after that border is closed, I would throw in my support and say, let's get that border closed now, and then we can figure out the dreamers. What say you, oh banzai? Posted by: davedavdavarf at December 12, 2017 11:52 PM (BLayO) 1526

If they did, we would have had amnesty long ago. As for compassion... try having some for the poor Americans who are made poorer because illegals take the jobs that would be available to them if illegals were sent back to their own countries.

Banzai, that's a good point about Jeb. I did support Trump because of the border issue. But, I also knew he would not deport the dreamers.
However, no matter what, and despite what any of my arguments imply, I want border security before anything else. But I can't embrace deport first. Posted by: davedavdavarf at December 12, 2017 11:56 PM (BLayO) 1533

If there was a way to give "el dreamers" a green card in perpetuity without the next Donk trying to EO amnesty I'd buy in.....they do not get to vote in this nation by entering it illegally. There's not, the left has proven it takes just one out of control appellate judge in Maui to magic up whatever they want. No compromise. Posted by: sven10077 at December 12, 2017 11:57 PM (SzZnW) 1534
Since we all agree that the border should be closed, lets do that and see how it goes before we change anything else.

This, by the way, is a winning issue with black voters. I don't understand why we don't hear more about how illegal immigration kills the job prospects of the African American community. Posted by: davedavdavarf at December 13, 2017 12:01 AM (BLayO) 1539

They claim the pay taxes with a tax id number. Knowing the IRS and their grinchy little tricks, I would be surprised if illegals don't pay taxes.
http://www.businessinsider.com/how-illegal-immigrants-pay-taxes-2012-3 I think if Trump deported some beautiful English speaking kid whose been here since he was three, it would be rhetorically unsound. But I will think more on it. Posted by: davedavdavarf at December 13, 2017 12:05 AM (BLayO) 1543
I do think we are at an impasse here. I will reread what you guys have written and think on it.
I don't think it matters too much, though, now that we have discussed. They will not deport the dreamers. It just won't happen. So, I don't need to worry about that. I AM worried we won't get that "wall", and I still think we'd have a better chance of getting it if we had a narrative that included a compassionate solutions for the dreamers. So, impasse. Thanks a lot for not willowing me. Good night. Posted by: davedavdavarf at December 13, 2017 12:09 AM (BLayO) Processing 0.13, elapsed 0.1516 seconds. |
