onlymonica: Are Pigs Flying Today in Alabama?So, if you’re from the U.S. and you follow politics, you’ll realize we had another historic election today. This one was a ‘special election’ (less than full-term replacement) race for the U.S. Senator from Alabama. The contest was between Democrat Doug Jones (main claim to fame: he successfully prosecuted a Klu Klux Klan attack that killed four young black girls in a Alabama church) vs. Republican Roy Moore: (main claim to fame: he stalked and assaulted several teenage girls when he was about twice their age). So, this being Alabama, you really didn’t know who they would better trust to represent their interests.While the results still need to be confirmed, it appears that democrat Doug Jones squeaked in with a very narrow victory. Much could have changed this result. Had Doug Jones had an outstanding parking ticket, Republicans might have successfully flipped enough votes based on a ‘flagrant disregard for law and order. Soft on traffic offenses means he would exonerate the large black man who might rape and murder your grandmother.’ Had Roy Moore NOT been a total asshole removed TWICE from the Alabama Supreme Court AND also been a pedophile, it would have been a slam dunk. But somehow, SOMEHOW, enough Alabaman’s had a functioning cerebral cortex to discern that, with both of these offenses, ‘Roy ain’t the Boy” And we’re talking about a very small number of Alabamans. Two years later, things could be different. Alabaman’s might figure out that maybe this single-party Republican monolith they’ve bought into since Civil Rights were passed by the Democrats just might not always represent their best interests. On the other hand, they might just swing the other way and elect someone more extreme than Roy Moore. Say, another rabid conservative Republican who had several convictions for operating puppy mills and practicing beastiality. (Hey dude - there’s a good reason they call dogs ‘man’s best friend!” What happens between you and your pooch, stays between you and your pooch. As long as he’s against abortion, I don’t care what the hell he fucks. And you say he wants to make guns more easy to get?? HEE FUKIN’ HAW!!!)Roll on Crimson Tide; Roll on. -- source link
