Only in Trump World would it not be a career destroying story for a President to support a candidacy like Moores...which he openly does now. Read Thom's post again and think about this comment.
Like many of his fellow Kochbaggers, Roy Moores's disregard for the First Amendment is a blatant display of anti-american sentiment and a slap in the face to all the patriots who died in the great war for the establishment of liberty and democracy. I'm certain our Founders would take- a- knee in protest of the bigotry/insanity Moore stands for. Alabamastan should be extremely embarrassed by this. Alabama Getaway!
Sure the Old Testament has it that Gays s/b put to Death, but Christ had it that "Ye who R w/o SIN cast the first stone"> That's the DIFF between the 2 religions, essentially that Christianity goes by "TWO Wrongs don't make a Right" something my GrandMa' told her grandkids to follow IF U want to get thru life> ISIS SandNiggers don't follow this AXIOM
BTW> "S-N" term came from Sgt.MM Smith WW2 Vet drove a Tank in North Afrika> Saind Arabs were a primitive, tribal disgusting PPL> How disgusting? Saw them EAT own SHIT & IF U object to the term, need to ask 9/11 victims their take on it
As Deepspace has proven time and time again, no matter how many ironclad facts you put forward, no matter how much irrefutable evidence and references and footnotes you provide, no matter how many times conservatives own words are shown to contradict themselves and prove their hipocracy, no matter how detailed and meticulous opposing arguments are; you will never penetrate the conservative mind. Never!
Therefore, for Doug Jones to win in Alabama, it would be pointless to try and reach out to the conservatives. You don't want stir their passions by pissing them off. Basically, you just want to politely ignore them. Even the passionate pleas of their political messiah, Donald J. Trump ricocheted off their granite skulls sending Washington Republicans running for cover. What chance would anyone that is even an iota more progressive than the Old Testament have in reaching the conservative voter in Alabama?
Perhaps if every black voter turned out and their vote was actually counted, and whatever smattering of swing voters and every Democrat in the state turns out; Jones might squeak out a victory.
In the short run, if Roy Moore is elected, it might spell disaster. But it the long run it might amplify the insanity of the Donald Trump era and hasten its demise.
Nonetheless, it might not be a bad idea to get behind the Jones candidacy and fork over a little money to his campaign.
Roy Moore doesn't sound much different than all the other right-wing radical Christianist who populate the majority of the Republican Party and wield their narrow-minded, 3 by 5 card belief system as a cudgel against everyone they've learned to hate. Yes, that kind of bigotry is learned. They sit in the pews of their indoctrination centers as innocent children with trusting eyes and grow up as severely damaged adults with dead stares.
If Christian churches don't disavow such radical extremists and weed them from their congregations, perhaps that whole religion also should be judged evil and banned, painted with a broad brush stroke for the behavior of the radicals within its ranks, who have co-opted the name of the religion as cover for their own wicked behavior, much like the whole of Islam has been unfairly judged by the violent actions of the few.
After all, Roy Moore's style of violence, that of thought, is the prelude -- indeed, the excuse -- for outward violence. All one has to do is attend a Trump rally or a white-supremacist march (same thing) in order to fully understand this phenomenon.
Just because one might call a delusional personal belief system "religion" doesn't mean that it has anything to do with acting religiously. That disconnect is the essence of false religion, is it not?
You are Wrong Again, how do you expect anyone to believe any thing you say, when you can't even get something as simple as who wrote a song. "Stuck in the middle with you", Was performed by Stealers Wheel and written by Gerald Rafferty and Joe Egan, not Bob Dylan. Here is the entire song.

Absolutely! All the investigations, reporting, eyewitness accounts, video evidence, and just plain common sense suggest that that is exactly the core of the problem -- the entire institution of civilian policing in Ameerikkka.
Although most cops are decent human beings, and it's only a fraction who abuse their authority and persecute minorities, it's the overall culture of the "blue wall," where good cops circle around bad cops to shield them from accountability -- a complete failure of leadership on a massive scale! The "Administration" and Congress need to reform the whole stinking mess from top to bottom.
If you're a gamblin' man or woman, don't bet on that ever happening too soon with this ship of fools and Captain "F*ckface Von Clownstick" (credits to Jon Stewart) at the helm.
Okay, okay, we all get it -- you hate "Hellary" ...yaaawn. Now, do yourself a favor and move on to something substantive and quit deflecting with Republican sexist propaganda. Hint: tune out Fux News and the echo chamber; you'll be amazed by what's actually happening in the wider world and what's really at stake.
Ok to need a house to store 12 thousand ...$12,000 pantsuits...but no one esle should have anything of value, they should give it up to the poor....but not your precious queen bee.
Seems your concern for the Puerto Ricians goes out the window when queen bee could give a little...not even a kind remark from her for the Hurricane victims just more of her
"MAGATs" (Make Ameerkkka Great Again Trumpers) are incapable of understanding the concept of double standards. Lilliputians (or lilli -Putin-ians) only think of themselves first, last, and foremost. Shameless hypocrisy is their long suit; self-reflection, not so much.
It's hard to "drain the swamp" when it's full of muck: Jared Kushner and numerous other inner-circle suck-ups conducting highly sensitive government business on unsecured private email servers; millionaire cabinet members flying around like Saudi royalty in private jets on the taxpayers' dime; pushing for tax cuts that will primarily benefit Trump and his fellow greedyguts while ballooning the deficit, spiraling the national debt, and slashing even more already meager programs that are the lifelines for the sinking middle class and the desperately poor; lavishing riches on the war machine while poor-mouthing our healthcare system, and on and on...

As a starry-eyed troll, it must really suck to realize that you've been totally conned by someone as ignorant as this absurd puffed-up clown with a pot belly and a goofy hairdo, whose only foreign policy expertise is firing off missiles and hurling childish names and insults at friends and foes alike while taking a crap in his gold-plated toilet. No, not Kim Jong-un -- the other tin-pot dictator, the pasty fathead with his stubby little pussy-grabbers on the nuke button who is your dear leader!
Enjoy the next world war, major economic collapse, and mass extinction; it is so well deserved. Good job!
Kilosqrd; Again, don't give me this idiotic bullshit that Republicans would not be up in arms with their pitchforks and torches if the shoe was on the other foot. Not even you are hardheaded enough to believe otherwise. Though I have no doubt that you will lie about it till' Trump, like Bush totally fucks up everything and then like every Republican after the Bush debacle, will deny ever voting for him and scream that both parties are the same. Of course they are not the same now. Are they?
Acreage is not people…pure and fucking simple. Elections are about people, not how much land their states occupy.
If I'm an ignorant blowhard? It's only from imulating the MAGA-T and Chief.
You are an ignorant blowhard. The EC is as old as the US Constitution, not some Republican law slipped into the Constitution in the past 10 years. Hillary knew the rules/law long before the election. You look so small blaming the election loss of HRC on the Constitution. Hillary won the state of California, consequently she won all of Cal's 55 electorial votes. But Cal is NOT the whole nation.
Heads exploding? The only heads exploding are yours and your ilk.
It was like extracting teeth, but after being shamed by nearly everyone on the planet into doing the right thing, except by his U.S. shipping magnate buddies worried about profits, Trump in his great wisdom and magnanimity has belatedly decided to allow more aid to reach Puerto Rico:
Now isn't that sweet! The little ol' trolls patting each other on the back and congratulating each other for their unconditional adoration of the treasonous leader of MAGA.
It is somewhat amazing that these MAGATs, that pretend to be such government haters…will of the people lovers, are so infatuated with the government bureaucratic institution known as the Electoral College. The same government cabal that thwarted the will of the American Majority that voted Hillary over Trump by three million votes.
And don't even think of trying to tell me that had the situation been reversed, that righties would not be absolutely apoplectic in their response to the selection of Hillary by the Electoral College. Every righty car would have bumper stickers decrying the injustice and screaming about the leftwing coup and the sharia dictatorship and "End the Socialist Electoral College." Shawn Hannity & Rush Limbaugh's heads would be exploding. Fox news would be 24/7 ranting and raving about the end of American democracy. The Republican congress would, everyday be introducing articles of impeachment and calling for one congressional hearings one after another.
Just as Trump railed against the Electoral College until he suddenly found himself in bed with it, so too have the righties found themselves praising a government institution that has reversed the will of the people.

Republicans preach Christianity but practice the OldTestament, which is no less violent than Isis or any other extremist religion.
Bottom line, the Christian Oligarchy is the American Isis.
A donation is on the way.

Most white male blue collar workers when asked why they hated Hillary, say that they do no like the cackle in her laugh. Great reason to pick Trump.
I have come to a sincere belief that Trump is, himself, a white supremacist.
Give it up; your false equivalency deflections have no substance in reality.
Actually it's your double standard I don't get.

b*tchen about women...and everyone else.
We should focus on the cause which is reforming the POLICE.
The Police are the Problem.
Demonstrated yet again, most of your points are shallow meaningless deflections with no substance.
You shouldn't talk about Hellary like that....pot belly, funny hair, starting wars.
I don't see her offering her new house she bought to the Puerta Ricians to stay in.
You know the house she bought for all the security she needs for her presidency.
