How come we don't have a Roy Moore-specific thread yet? Is it because he fits in so seemlessly in other threads? Anyway, here's a head-smacker from his wife, the day before the election: www.cnn.com/2017/12/11/politics/kayla-moore-roy-rally-alabama-senate/index.htmlBut I guess we shouldn't be surprised that she might stick her foot in her mouth. After all, she's only thirteen...* * this is a joke, pathetic though it may be.

I'm sure they have a black housekeeper. And probably an Hispanic gardener. And a gay interior decorator. See? They love everyone.

The horrifying thing is that this absurd piece of shit might actually win. And, even if he doesn't, the POTUS and a major political party are backing him.
I find myself wanting to tug on the sleeves of total strangers and ask, "this is just a bad joke, right? it's not real? TELL ME IT'S NOT REAL!"

"We're not bigots, we totally do business with Jews!"
It's like these people have never even read Dickens. Or Shakespeare, FFS.

So is the Wall Street Journal, so it's official.
I was on the phone with a client (yes, at 10:45 at night -- don't let your kids be lawyers, friends!) when she got a notification on her phone about it.
I am very glad. For a zillion reasons, our country does not need Roy Moore in the senate.

Shocking, in the best way possible. Hope springs eternal.

I heard Moore consoled himself after his devastating loss by attending a high school football game.

This was great... www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqEA03v3OtQSkip ahead to 8:55. I guess it shouldn't be too surprising that Moore's spokesman would be a constitutional illiterate, but man, I really enjoyed that clip.

I'm hoping this result signals the beginning of the end for Steve Bannon's "movement." Beyond that, I can't say that I'm thrilled with Jones. He seems to be something of a moderate, which is good I think, but does support a "living wage," which irks me. Beyond that, there were over 20,000 write-in votes. That's nearly 2%. Write-ins for the 2016 Alabama Senate race clocked in at 0.2%. I think write-ins for the 2016 Presidential Election came in at around 0.5%. For the 2012 Election, they came in at 0.2% (the same for 2008). In 2004, write-ins were...wait for it.... 0.04%!
