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!

I’m surprised the first thing he said wasn’t about alleged “voter fraud.”

LOL! My thoughts exactly.

Will there even be a WH press briefing tomorrow? Sanders is going to need a bigger flask to get through it. 😉

Yeah, I admit I have uncharitable thoughts about Alabama from time to time. But they have had to suffer this creep a lot longer than we have, and they delivered. And I’m hoping the 30-point swing in the polls between Trump and Moore wasn’t entirely due to the difference in age of their victims.

EDIT:

That’s fairly amazing. So when looking who to thank for tonight, I guess we should thank Black Alabamans for continuing to do what’s right in the face of impossible odds, and thank white Alabamans for staying home.

To Mr. Moore I say: …and the horse you rode in on.

It’s a relief that Moore lost (I’m shocked, actually). That said, the fact that it was so close, and that someone that awful still can garner 49% of the vote, shows that southern bible belt is as strong as ever.

Yep. I’m shocked but relieved that Moore lost. I’m quite stunned actually.

Well done Doug Jones and his team.

Yes but it was still too close a race. Someone like Moore shouldn’t be able to get anywhere near close to being a elected to the US Senate.

It’s Alabama dude.

This is what I’d say to anybody with doubt regarding the margin of victory.

I’m just surprised he didn’t delete the previous tweet.

I think we must question his ability to perform such a task as hitting the delete button himself - and not having others do it for him. (I’m surprised his puppetmasters still allow him access to his phone when he is alone… 😉)

He deleted all his tweets supporting Luther Strange, IIRC.

‘Unfit to clean toilets’: USA Today blasts Trump over his ‘would do anything’ tweet about Senator Kirsten Gillibrand

USA Today’s editorial board pulls no punches in criticizing President Trump’s character.

“A president who would all but call Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand a whore is not fit to clean the toilets in the Barack Obama Presidential Library or to shine the shoes of George W. Bush,” the editorial says.

It says Trump’s first year as president has been marked by an “utter lack of morality, ethics and simple humanity.”

I think they’re seeing that the press gives them a lot more favorable coverage for their announcement of a principled stand than critical coverage for their abandonment of those principles a week later. The McCain doctrine.

A couple weeks ago, we had a debate about the Daniel Shaver case. At one point I posted a video about why cops can’t always use tazers. Well, now we have video of that same cop talking about the Shaver case. I thought some would be interested in seeing it.

I read his comment on it but didn’t watch the video (because it’s an hour long), and I don’t like his take at all. The shooting was not justified. The fact that the incidences leading up to the shooting were coercive and vile makes the shooting unjustified. Taking someone hostage and then shooting them to death when you think that they might vaguely be reaching for a gun still makes you a murderer. It doesn’t matter what you thought they were doing. The problem is that all of these “good cops” are willing to stand up, even if only tacitly, for the bad cops. That’s why the problems in American law enforcement will never be solved at this rate.
