This is a deep cut, I'd forgotten all about "Diamond and Silk" (if you don't know you don't wanna):
God, what a news cycle. And yeah, Tom Perez should get credit for what he quietly did in AL.
This is hilarious:
Trump is going to lose his fuckin' mind. He backed Strange and lost, now this and the Mueller probe.
If the GOP can't keep a seat in Alabama, they can't keep a seat anywhere.
It's not just a moral victory. It's a systemic indicator. Losing Alabama is huge in terms of sheer climate and numbers.
You know I love you, but in all fairness: Who gives a fùck? Win or lose, this is much much closer than anyone expected. The GOP can spin it however they like, but they know what this kind of very close race in Alabama of all places will mean for the rest of the nation in the midterms - very, very bad things. As many of their own have said it is lose-lose for them. If he wins they have to seat a sexual predator - which will doom them next year. If they lose they have an even bigger sign of what's coming. Jones is up by 7K. Also: Fox News has now switched away from discussing Alabama. ETA: Doug Jones wins.
This is much, much closer in Alabama than any of us expected. Win or lose, it is very bad news for the GOP next year.
Horse Twitter comes for Roy Moore.
Apparently talking about race, or bigotry, - or making white America face a changing world, or simply not being white - means 'only governing half the country'. And to be clear, Obama used EOs after it was clear the GOP would never willingly govern responsibly or meet him at the table for anything. They made it clear from the day he became President-Elect that their only strategy and goal was to obstruct him and run him out of office. McConnell said that when Obama was first elected. By contrast, the GOP both pre- and post-Obama has used EOs to subvert the rule of law. Pretending it's the same is a sop to wounded white ego (and I am, for the record, plenty white). But the truth is we can throw all the actual facts we want at this argument and there is no point. Once a conservative has their alternative facts made up in their mind, it's about pride. Not reality. Admitting they're not the same would mean one side has a net loss. That is not acceptable in far too many people's minds these days.
I am equally shocked by that, Chit.
I think Jones will probably lose anyway, but I don't think this is going to move that needle much. NY has had its fair share of failed/muted terror attacks in the last decade.
Yes, I misread. I'm just happy for Kyle getting nominated. I personally expect a few Emmy nominations as the critics loved the show, but we'll see. We're a long way from the show getting panned, which I half-expected last summer, so anything can happen. I don't care for this guy's fanedits but I do like this trailer:Important Information
