PLEASE share this with people who ask why Moore cannot be taken off the ballot:

Alabama law says no additions or subtractions can be done 76 days before an election.
The election is 30 days away.

several DUers have posted this in their comments, I felt it was worth repeating for all to see.
Pls. help it be noticed.

This is how a Moore supporter backs away from Moore....sorta

He's not quite ready to give up, is he?

“Word was he was gonna run for governor.
Well, he can do a whole lot less damage in the Senate here than if he were elected governor.
I’d rather give him one vote in the Senate than being in control of the state of Alabama.”

"The vault in his brain that contains original thoughts is empty.

But the one that contains other people's thoughts is full."

said Etowah County District Attorney Jim Hedgspeth, who defeated Roy Moore in 1986. The quote is from a 2003 article.

93-Year-Old World War II Vet Scores Upset Election Win


TINTON FALLS, N.J. (AP) — A 93-year-old World War II veteran upset an incumbent New Jersey mayor who was seeking a second term.

Vito Perillo defeated Tinton Falls Mayor Gerald Turning in the nonpartisan municipal race Tuesday.

Perillo tells the Asbury Park Press he wore out two pairs of shoes campaigning door-to-door.

The U.S. Navy veteran decided to run following a pair of whistleblower lawsuits involving the police department that cost the borough a reported $1.1 million in settlements. Turning was the borough police chief from 2004 to 2011 and was also the borough administrator from 2010 to 2014.

Posting it here since we have had so many discussions of which levels various public figures deserve.
"Betrayers of Country" have an apt consequence.

Bye bye Betsy? .....(paging Dan Quayle...)

Her first budget proposal for the department — one which would have slashed funding from multiple school programs and reapportioned that money to DeVos’ pet cause, “school choice” — was rejected by Congress. Now, with her agenda on the rocks and morale at the Education Department cratering, some predict that DeVos may return to the private sector sooner than she’d planned.

“She can talk about bureaucracy and how constraining it is for her, but a Republican-controlled Congress rejected her budget proposals.
She can’t fill her senior staff slots. Morale is terrible at the department,” says Thomas Toch of FutureEd —
an education think tank affiliated with Georgetown University’s McCord School of Public Policy.

“And I’ll tell you, in Washington education circles, the conversation is already about the post-DeVos landscape, because the assumption is she won’t stay long. And for my money, I don’t think it would be a bad thing if she left. I think she’s been probably one of the most ineffective people to ever hold the job.”

"Trump is at 33 percent in Gallup. You cant go any lower. Hes fucked."

Comment by WH Insider...

but my question is..."you can't go any lower than that"
Why not? What's the unspoken point of the comment?

( I have all faith that Trump can and will go so much lower)
