This sounds like something that would be in the direct to video bin in the 90s.

IIRC she is an unpaid special adviser to the President with an office in the White House. She isn’t even claiming to just be someone who talks to her father; she actually works there.

Good. I’m glad she’s miserable.

To Republicans, prosecuting the KKK is the definition of “bad on crime,” so...

In Alabama, I’m not sure fighting the KKK is seen as a virtue.

There’s a meme on the right that because the original founders of the first Klan 150 years ago were Democrats that the KKK are somehow a liberal organization

Fox News bobblehead Andrew Napolitano today used Jones’ KKK-fighting history as an example of how he really isn’t very liberal at all so it’s OK for Republicans to vote for him. I’m still trying figure that one out.

Yeah, Doug Jones seems pretty great. And not just because he’s not Roy Moore. If you want to support him and help stop Roy Moore from being in the Senate, you can make a donation here (it’s super easy, even $5 helps.)...

In fairness to Trump, he (and definitely Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III) probably considers the prosecution of Klansmen who killed small black girls to be too heavy-handed and a miscarriage of justice, because, you know, there were bad people on both sides.

I agree. however, I think that Bannon will be able to hand wave away this defeat, at least in the short-term. Bannon will likely, and with some justification, argue that this is not a defeat for his ideals but is rather the result of Roy Moore’s personal failings and or some big liberal conspiracy to get him

Even aside from the sexual assault allegations, Moore doesn’t have a shred of integrity and is nothing but a narcissist. If he actually cared about the ideals that he professes, instead of just himself he would solve this problem by saying that he will resign and allow the Republican Governor of Alabama to appoint…

I think you mean Sessions...

How many time do I have to repeat, “please lose,” before the universe takes pity on me?

Whoa! Those are Saddam Hussein numbers!

Oh it will definitely be a huge, huge victory for Democrats going into 2018. I’m just saying that even winning a fair election will have its downsides for them.

Boy, those Trumpanzees sure are fragile little snowflakes, aren’t they?

(Damn, that ended up being long. I guess I have a lot of thoughts on this!)

As far as the photo, I mostly agree with you - it doesn’t look to me like he actually touched her, but instead was just aiming for “hey look, I’m pretending like I’m going to grope this unconscious woman against her will, HA HA SO FUNNY.” It’s disgusting, offensive, and incredibly disrespectful towards her, but if he…

If his accusers — including “Maria,” who alleges in unpublished depositions that she was raped by That Asshole when she was 12, evidence of which is in the possession of at least one friendly intelligence service, and thus of Mueller — were to go forward with suits and charges at the time of the election, he would…
