OMG! Doug Jones won! I truly went to bed thinking that Roy Moore's bigoted, racist, homophobic, pedophile ass was going to win. I am so happy!

 

 And to top that off, did anyone see USA Today's scathing rebuke of the President?

Very informative thread on the grassroots efforts to get out the votes. I have had my critiques of the effectiveness of today's NAACP but the Alabama chapter really stepped up their efforts in this special election!

 

 

Believe it or not, I try to avoid Trump's tweets but I did hear stirrings about  what many described as his insulting, rabidly sexist and misogynistic comments about Sen. Gillibrand.

And this is the president that we all are supposed to treat as a "normal"  head of state?? Are we supposed to give this respect??

I've had my issues with the DNC but they played this perfectly.

"Despite publicly remaining mum on the race, the Democratic National Committee spent nearly $1 million on the contest while dispatching and funding 30 aides here, a party official told POLITICO. That push came just as Jones sought to distance himself from the national party and win over conservatives.

 

It was a politically delicate move. Jones’ detractors have tried painting him as a tool of the national party, so Democrats in Washington have tried treading carefully in order to avoid leaving too much of a footprint in a state where Democrats haven’t won a Senate seat in over two decades. The effort paid off: Jones prevailed Tuesday."

Classic Trump. And she will survive, as she always does. She has about fifteen hundred lives. At least some people there got a good laugh today.

Omarosa is probably on the phone with Mueller as we speak.

God, what a news cycle.

 

And yeah, Tom Perez should get credit for what he quietly did in AL.

And I hope that safe place has a ton of champagne, because even in those quarters, they'll have a ton of celebrating to do!!

This is a deep cut, I'd forgotten all about "Diamond and Silk" (if you don't know you don't wanna):

this is exactly what happens when your arrogance gets out of control. she had this receipt on the books for YEARS, and my guess is everyone who ever dealt with her is laughing their tails off right now as we speak.
