His hands are too busy with stress eating Big Macs and Diet Coke to tweet anything right now.
We understand that emotions are high right now but please avoid sweeping generalizations about entire races. ^^ Thanks.
It was mentioned on Twitter that Arizona and Nevada are the next Democrat wins to push for.
Oh, no doubt. "Judge not lest ye be judged" and here we have a judgmental judge who judges the sins of others why being guilty of sexual misconduct himself! Nothing worse than a hypocrite. It's why I hate Trump so very much... he has an 'attack, never defend' policy that means he takes his own faults and projects them onto others. Sickening stuff and I know America won't learn but at least we can demotivate the people he lied/tricked into believing his bullshit. This is a glorious turn here. Trump, the pedo-defender. Have fun in 2018.
Honestly, there wouldn't have been any Bannon without the Tea Party. The minute the GOP embraced THAT and the Koch, the end of their party was nigh.
Oh come on. That's ridiculous.
There's no way he could hold an entire Big Mac in those tiny hands.
Watching that needle was stressing me out, so I've rested my head back then zzzzzzzzzzz....
Edit: Ha, Steve Bannon rage-ignoring the media as he dashes into an SUV.
Yup.
It takes a herculean 96% votes among black people to get here.
Gotcha
Maybe instead of the white working class they can focus on the black working class first and then it'll trickle down to the rest of America
Seriously though, i haven't seen any of this working class rhetoric anywhere in dem circles, certainly not this year in any fashion
That's debatable, the average American probably couldn't tell you what the three branches of government are and thinks the president makes the laws. 100% turnout with current education standards could very well result in even more Trump, and worse.
But as it stands most people only vote in presidential elections. When reviewing turnout it's best to compare to similar elections. Being a special election, it would be assumed to see even worse turnout than midterms, which themselves are well behind presidential elections.
The best part is, if we can keep Franken's seat blue in 2018, we have a real shot at turning the house and Senate. Fuck, that would be amazing.
Donald Trump will be an Ozymandias like figure bringing destruction for the greater good. The GOP brand that him and Bannon are pushing will be the end of the GOP as we know it.
The pendulum is swinging the other way. I was so concerned this past week about the possibility of Moore winning and the implications that would have had on American society as a whole. How the FoxNews/Hannity/BreitBart machine would have won yet again and this time with a pedophile. It's stunning to me that Trump actually endorsed Moore, especially since he endorsed Luther Strange in the primary. This is a referendum on the current leadership of the GOP- President Trump and his media wingmen in Steve Bannon and Sean Hannity. They're going to get beat the fuck back next November and I'm confident in saying that after tonight's win. I was not confident in saying that 8 hours ago. What a relief it is.
Any breakdown of how Asians and Latinos voted. I hope my Asian brethrens didn't let me down. I'm not expecting 90+ like African Americans, but please be 75+. Would be an upgrade from 68 nationwide during the presidential election.
The president of the United States is a sexually abusive creep so it's not that surprising.
What was surprising was the GOP pulling support of a child molester...and then going right back to it weeks later.
Truth. The lengths people go to delude themselves as to just how disgusting and immoral our President is. So bewildering. The man has literally become the walking embodiment of America's worst qualities
God is omnipotent, doesn't mean he can always spot the ol' rope-a-dope coming.
I am still amazed this happened. I honestly thought they were gonna vote in moore no matter what after this video
Bama you have pleasantly surprised me.
Jones won't be certified until after Christmas. Tax vote will probably be done by Christmas. Unless taxes get stalled, he won't be able to help there.
That said, I am seeing a mistake by Dems right now. They gotta remember that every Jones voter has a part in this- no one group made this happen tonight, and everyone involved has a seat at the table. If we don't keep working together, good work can be undone- just see what happened last year.
I hope you're right, and I think it's pretty interesting how a lot of old republicans actually warned the current right wing of this problem years ago, but were marginalized. I'd be overjoyed if the party ate it's own tail, but I'm not ready to believe that fear and apathy won't win out the day in the end.
And despite the name, Big Macs aren't even really that big.

I disagree with your assessment. Spin your argument around and say look at midterm elections of certain years.
I think you're only happy because of the final result, but it could have easily gone the other way considering how close the race was.
You are right. Nearly every social program that helps minorities exponentially helps white folks as well despite what some may think about these programs. You consider the marginalized you consider everyone.
Heller has done a lot of very good things for this state, but his voting record this past year means Hispanic and Black people will reject him. If there's another Democratic wave like there was in 2016 in this state...
Got home from a stressful day at work. Read the news. Ahhhhhhh yissssss!!!! Great job energized voters in Alabama. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Finally a brief respite from total balls to the wall insanity!
Agreed. The one thing I worry about is Republicans trying to 'get revenge' by making up lies against dems in the upcoming races. I think it's a lock that this will happen in the presidential election. Trump was openly wondering why no one ever accused Obama of sexual abuse (God, trump is so fucking gone he just assumes everyone does it) Even if it's found to be false, it will undermine legit claims. Had the republicans falsely accused Jones, that probably would have created enough doubt to give Moore the win. I hate thinking about it, it feels like dark times are coming.
"Average American" people defending a child molestor... on camera. Un-fucking-believable!
His brother is his base support, his base support is his brother.... He didn't tell his brother he was in it for the money and underage sex. What a cunt.
Many of them are still bitter we freed the slaves. I wish I was kidding.
Well that's what i don't understand about the derision regarding working class . People seem to care about labels like "white working class" as if everyone else doesn't benefit from having higher standards too when economic and social policy are being addressed. I'm a black male who cares about whether im gonna be able to afford things after my next paycheck. A minimum wage, good education an investment into community helps me more than anyone else by default, cause we are already at the bottom of the ladder.
Elaborate? Jones aint a dude i would have picked at all in a state that wasnt ass backwards, but i can't be choosy about who fights against the abyss now can i. I'm just glad Alabama has some sort of ethical standards to stand up and reject, even if its just by the skin of the teeth.
I will say this, I give a lot of props to the white people who voted against Moore, especially the men. They probably have to put up with so much shit from the people around them.
Insiders know that Trump can't grab a whole BigMac:

Yeah, but per the results and demographics, black folks delivered the win. Had they not been energized and mobilized to the polls, there simply wouldn't have been a win and it's important to single that out. Many of the black organizations on the ground also led a huge non partisan push on the group to get people to the polls in general.
