Fox "news" has a steady supply of whataboutisms that allows certain educated right wingers (I prefer not to call them conservatives anymore) to feel good about themselves while silently supporting sex offenders and rabid racists. you just have to turn on Laura Ingram or Sean hannity and everything pesky will feel normal again ...

?Why Democrats win even if they lose in Alabama
The party will either pick up a seat in the Deep South ? or have Roy Moore to campaign against in the midterms.?
?He?ll be the gift that keeps on giving for Democrats. If you?re running in 2018, Roy Moore?s going to be your new best friend. As a Republican, to think that you can win without the baggage of Roy Moore is pretty naive,? said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

Yeah, years ago people used coloreds, spics, kikes, wops, mics. So it's perfectly acceptable to use those terms now. And of course, it's always the tolerant lefties using such vocabulary.
I really have nothing to say about this subject anymore. People can make their own judgments on the subject and where they stand.
After many months, I'm just checking back in to see who was the first to retract their comments about Trump being anti-Semitic given the recent announcement regarding Jerusalem. *Crickets*.
He hasn't exactly become BFFs with the David Dukes of the world in the past week.
I am curious about the Biblical basis for protecting Jerusalem? What would that be? Do people think that God cannot protect Jerusalem if He desired to do so?
Pretty sure no one with any level of geographic knowledge believes Tel Aviv is the capital of Israel.
If you think the Arab nations are somehow united, then you fundamental don't understand the ME. Not too mention Israel is by far the strongest military force in ME. US gives Israel $3 billion in aid every year. Doing what Trump just did basically made the US irrelevant politically in ME...it's pretty much what Trump has done globally on almost every front.
Serious questio:
Are people excited about this because they think little rocketman is about to launch an attack to end the world and now the evangelicals will be saved?
Trump didn't have to back Moore but he did.
The seat is a very crucial one due to the near 50/50 split in the senate. Most of the campaign contributions came from out of state. New York and California were the biggest contributors. That sort of thing should be illegal. We shouldn?t be helping decide who represents Alabama.
The whole assault allegation was very overrated. The timing of it was highly questionable. The media sold wolf tickets. It was dirty politics.

I remember when Roy Moore won the primary against Luther Strange, people criticized Trump for backing the "establishment" candidate Luther Strange, over the outsider Roy Moore. Now it sure looks like Trump was right and the Alabama Republicans were wrong. They just gave away a safe Republican Senate seat for no good reason.
This is also a big setback for Steve Bannon's crusade against Mitch McConnell. With such an embarrassing loss under his belt, a lot of other states will think twice before running Steve Bannon's candidates.

I was surprised he would endorse somebody accused of sexual assault given his own problems with those charges. Usually, he's really good at using confirmation bias to his own advantage, but in this instance it works against him if people say "Of course he endorses a sexual assaulter because he is one himself."

Is the race really over? Has God finally decided who won?
Of course he had to. One candidate would vote with him. The other would vote against him. It is not rocket science.Irvinecommuter said:
