African Americans, especially the AA women who made up 18% of the total votes in Alabama and voted Democratic at a 98% clip.
Black voters in a state where their votes are aggressively suppressed prevented a disaster for our nation.
Thank you.
I also want to point out that a twice fired judge who stole from a charity and probably molested a 14 year old child lost by 1%
That's because white men voted for him at a 3 to 1 pace, and white women at a 2 to 1 pace. If black voters had not turned out - if they had made up the same percentage of voters as they are in the general population Roy Fucking Moore would be Senator Moore.
If I have to read another wave of "Identity Politics are killing the Democratic Party" nonsense, I won't know how to react...
I'd be torn between the desire to slap that jiggly blob of stupid upside the head and the desire to point and laugh maniacally while twirling my junk like a propeller.
Righty now, I have several bets to pay, because I was sure that Alabama would vote for the white supremacist molester. So happy to be wrong
I am also impressed with the continued emotional toll that the basket of deplorables comment seems to cause all those fine upstanding Republicans.
But when multiple Republican officials say that they believe that Roy Moore is a child molesting creep, but that it's still better than voting for a Democrat - everyone shrugs and walks away.
Mother fuckers of the press listen up. It isn't "BOTH SIDES" causing this shit - it is your failure to call the GOP on their nonsense that has led to this situation.
I have not been a Christian since I was about 17, but I still remember all those years of classes and summer schools. Actually it seems to me I remember those lessons better than people paid to talk about them.
When Jesus was reputedly walking around Judea, there was homosexual activity going on.
At that time in history there were rather common ways to terminate pregnancies as well.
But he never mentioned those things. Never once brought up either subject.
What did he speak of instead? Well...
He hated divorce, and spoke against the practice often.
He railed against those who would pray in public and proclaim their piety in showy ways.
He warned against the temptation to amass wealth at expense of the poor and powerless.
He preached that welcoming strangers and helping the miserable were acts of faith.
And he stated that there was a new covenant with God, ending most the proscriptions and requirements of the Old Testament.
So what the hell do these right wing people who claim Christianity for themselves actually follow?
The whole of their religion seems to revolve around Abortion and Gay Sex. As the old joke goes, they are against 'em. Meanwhile...
They'll quote Leviticus while eating bacon wrapped shrimp and cheeseburgers.
They'll tattoo their second wife's name on their arm and show it to people at the National Prayer Breakfast - Which is held in a massive 4000 seat Acme Crystal Palace Of Worship, which I imagine has several ATM machines in the Apse for your tithing convenience.
Oh yeah, they hate the strangers in our midst and truly hate the idea that charity should be extended to anyone not like themselves.
So, I am completely unsurprised that today these people are looking for ways to absolve a pedophile. Because he hates the same people they do, and that's good enough.
