If Doug Jones wants to be reelected in 2020, he needs to be Senator Pothole, as Al Damato was in New York. Respond to every citizen request for assistance. Get back to citizens personally whenever possible. Get lots of people to be saying, âIâm a Republican, but when I had that problem with the VA, I called Senator Jonesâ office and they got right on itâŚâ
âI look forward to working together to do whatâs best for the great state of Alabama,â he said.
The Great State of Alabama, where over 48% support Pedophilia.
Genuine class, great to see as itâs so damn rare these days, almost unrecognizable.
Twist the knife. Get it good and deep in there first.
Kind of you Senator Shelby.
âCongratulations, Doug, I know what itâs like to be elected to the Senate as a Democrat from Alabama, and it felt great. Hope you enjoy it for your entire Senate career because I defected as soon as I was elected and now I just skulk around condemning fellow Rs.â
Enough to vote against this?
To go along with the twisted knife - here is some salt and lemon juice to dab on the wound. NYMagâs compilation of the best reactions to Roy Mooreâs loss:
I canât read dithering minds. But there is this at NYT, and Iâll stand back and wait for the pounding on Collins to begin.
It is not clear if Republican senators will roundly endorse the deal, which would allow provisions that Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Marco Rubio of Florida had raised concerns about earlier this week. Ms. Collins has said sheâs not in favor of a lower individual rate and Mr. Rubio has pushed for a more generous child tax credit.
Yes. Weâll see how far they get with this and who defects. They want a vote next week.
Gotta get that win for the loser in the WH and followed by that major losses in 2018.
âAnd by âworking togetherâ, I mean toeing the party line while ratf*cking you and the rest of the Democrats.â
Not hanging by your thumbs as you wait for Collins or Rubio to stand up, I hope.
The fact that Shelby was so openly disgusted with Moore is just another thing that adds to the delicious schadenfreude today.
The fact that Trump almost showed a hint of class in his post-election tweet to Jonesâespecially considering that Trump doubled down on Mooreâand the fact that Rosenstein continues to show a semblance of integrity makes me think that we may all survive the Trump shitshow relatively unscathed after all. I could be wrong butâŚ
Shelby knew the smarter play was the cede the seat for three years, nominate a non-pedophile, and take it back in a landslide. The alternative was months/years of Roy Moore chasing after pages and pulling stupid, Cruz-esque stunts.
Come on back to the D side, Senator Shelby
(D for Democrat)
Nice. Thanks for getting out there early Senator Shelby.
Perhaps Jones will help Shelby recover his inner Democratic self.
I spent a little time last night browsing the right-wing media.
It was schadenfreudalicious.
I just made another pass through those halls of right-wing derp, and the Tears of Impotent Trumpublican Rage are still plenty fresh and very, very tasty.
Ordinarily I wonât visit those sites â itâs all a bunch of crap and I donât want to give them the âclick.â
But in this case it has been well worth it.
If youâre a schadenfreude connoisseur, I highly recommend checking out a couple of the right wing sites. Breitbartâs articles teeter between mourning and rage. The Daily Caller is in meltdown. Drudge (whose website still looks like itâs 1996) is going nuts on Bannon.
Meanwhile, this is still one of the top headlines on Infowars:
ROY MOORE SENATE WIN WILL BE A DEVASTATING VICTORY AGAINST THE GLOBALISTS
When Moore wins the Alabama Senate race the left will totally lose it.
[Warning â donât try this at home, unless youâre an advanced shadenfreuder: I even scrolled through the video of Infowarsâ 4+ hours of live election coverage from last night, stopping every 10 minutes or so to sample the offerings for a minute. Early on, Alex Jones was clearly teeing up for what he thought would be a smashing victory for Roy Moore. As the returns started to come in and Moore was leading, Alex was exuding confidence and it was all triumphalist stuff about how âthe people had spokenâ and Trump and Bannon were vindicated and the Deep State was being smashed and the Swamp Drained and America Made Great Again and so on. But when Doug Jones started closing in on Moore the already-frequent and lengthy ad breaks to push pills for âmale vitalityâ and âbrain powerâ (you gotta hand it to Jones, he knows his audienceâŚa bunch of impotent old morons) became even more frequent and even lengthier, and then Alex disappeared, leaving two barely-adult underlings to desperately spin the increasingly bad news â which, once Jones was declared the winner, quickly turned into several hours of gibbering, seething, foaming-at-the-mouth conspiracy insanity.]
