The people of Alabama will do the right thing. Doug Jones is Pro-Abortion, weak on Crime, Military and Illegal Immigration, Bad for Gun Owners and Veterans and against the WALL. Jones is a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet. Roy Moore will always vote with us. VOTE ROY MOORE!


Trump calls Jones a puppet and follows it up by saying that Roy Moore will do as he says... hm.

She's disloyal to Bill and Hillary because she is going after Trump? Not sure I get that connection.

He's blurring a few things together because a former Clinton lackey went on Fox to bash Gillibrand for saying Bill probably should've resigned.

He's just reacting to his damn shows

Trump, Dec. 8: I love these guys. Look at these guys, “blacks for Trump.” I love you. I love you. By the way, now that you bring it up, black home ownership just hit the highest level it has ever been in the history of our country. Congratulations.

Alas, it is the 42 percent black home ownership rate for the third quarter of 2017 is almost, but not quite the worst, its the 87th lowest quarter since records have been kept on the matter (95 quarters of home ownership data).

LL Cool J needs to update 'that's a lie' with Trump lines, except that would result in a song roughly 9.5 hours long.

Bill McNeal wrote:Wha...

But on Monday night, the last day before the election, Moore held a rally. It got off to an interesting start.

One of the introductory speakers was Bill Staehle, who said he served with Moore in Vietnam. Staehle told the story of a night he spent with Moore and a third man, who he did not name. According to Staehle, it was the third man’s last night in Vietnam and the man invited them to a “private club” in the city to celebrate with “a couple of beers.”


Moore and Staehle agreed. According to Staehle, they didn’t expect there was anything untoward going on at the “private club” because “there were legitimate private clubs” in Vietnam. The third man drove them to the club in his Jeep.

Staehle said that, when he and Moore arrived, they soon realized the man had taken them to a brothel. The third man, Staehle suggested, essentially tricked them. “I could tell you what I saw but I don’t want to,” Staehle said mischievously.

“There were certainly pretty girls. And they were girls. They were young. Some were very young,” Staehle acknowledged. But according to Staehle, Moore was shocked by what he saw. “We shouldn’t be here, I’m leaving,” Moore said, according to Staehle.

They asked the third man to leave with them but he didn’t want to. So Staehle and Moore took his Jeep and left him there all night with sex workers, who they agreed were underage. The man returned to base the next morning on the back of a motorcycle, Staehle said with a grin.


Staehle viewed this story as a triumphant example of Moore’s sterling moral character. Although Staehle hasn’t seen Moore in 45 years, he said, “He’s the same guy… He’s honorable. He’s disciplined. Morally straight. Highly principled.”



So Roy Moore did nothing to prevent his friend (and possible subordinate since I’m pretty sure he was an officer) from raping a child sex worker?

He has so much honor and discipline. Sounds like a man you can definitely trust to call out any bullshit in Washington.

Well, one way to get in west point is a congressional nomination. You may be surprised to learn these are often not entirely merit based. Indeed, there is an institution called west point prep, which basically provides remediation to some of these nominees. One of my scout leaders taught there (it used to be at ft. Monmouth in nj) and he talked about how dumb many of,those students were.

Win/win for the dems. They either get a seat that they have no business winning or they get to forever point out that the republicans supported/voted in a pedophile. I’d much rather get the seat though.

It’s Alabama though. It’s about as unlikely a win for dems as you’ll find. At least the fact that the GOP is willing to support a pedophile can be made into a major talking point in the midterms next year and might swing some elections.

Not in Alabama, but in the rest of the country it seems like people (even republicans) think the accusations are credible. When a Republican or independent voter in a swing state is considering how they’re going to cast their vote, they may think “wait, the GOP and my senator/congressman just supported a fucking pedophile. Maybe I’m not going to vote for them this year.”

I know all about it. Now there is a scrub out process that tries to get rid of some of these soles, but I know people that went to the 5th high school year. Valley Forge MA, and others. The political aspect gets some in, but the actual work pushes them out between the academic demands, and the physical. Maybe that is more recent. At USNA there is basically an unspoken about invisible wall between hard science courses, and political majors where I have been told that your BA type majors line up academy grads to softer positions that wash them out of the promotion cycle, with a hope that the damage is contained. That is pretty sad.

And at least three of those four people presumably have significant input, including the final say, into the direction of our great country. Awesome sauce!

Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame @SenGillibrand? Do you know who you're picking a fight with? Good luck with that, @realDonaldTrump. Nevertheless, #shepersisted.
