When the election came, my prediction was spot-on. I predicted that I had no idea who would win, and when the election came, I had no idea who would win. On who did win, I could not be more pleased. Watching the different wings of the Republican Reich sniveling and pointing fingers at each other could become addictive. But about that horse… later.
Doug Jones, a Democratic former prosecutor who mounted a seemingly quixotic Senate campaign in the face of Republican dominance here, defeated his scandal-scarred opponent, Roy S. Moore, after a brutal campaign marked by accusations of sexual abuse and child molestation against the Republican.
The upset delivered an unimagined victory for Democrats and shaved Republicans’ unstable Senate majority to a single seat.
Mr. Jones’s victory could have significant consequences on the national level, snarling Republicans’ legislative agenda in Washington and opening, for the first time, a realistic but still difficult path for Democrats to capture the Senate next year. It amounted to a stinging snub of President Trump, who broke with much of his party and fully embraced Mr. Moore’s candidacy, seeking to rally support for him in the closing days of the campaign… [emphasis added]

The Fuhrer actually says he knew his co-pervert couldn’t win. That’s a load of bull, but about that horse… later.
Here is Jones’ victory speech.
Now, I know I’ll be objecting to lots of his positions and, when I do, reign me in and remind me of the alternative, and about that horse… later.
Lawrence O’Donnell covered Doug’s win and Bannon’s reaction.
Bannon is a horse’s ass, and about that horse… later.
Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts called on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to seat newly elected Democratic senator, Doug Jones, “without any delay” in a Wednesday tweet.
Jones defeated his Republican opponent, accused child molester and harasser Roy Moore in the Tuesday Alabama special election for Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ former seat in the upper chamber. Warren’s tweet comes as a clear effort to reduce the slim Republican majority before the passage of major tax reform and spending legislation.
McConnell indicated the newly-elected Alabama senator would not be seated before the end of the year when asked about the timeline Tuesday.
“Sen. Strange is going to be here through the end of this session,” McConnell told reporters referencing Luther Strange, who was appointed by the Alabama Governor to occupy the seat following Sessions’ departure…

Bought Bitch Mitch took the opposite position on seating Scott Brown beat Martha Coakley in the special election in 2010. But Bought Bitch Mitch is also a horse’s ass. And about that horse, kudos to the NY Daily News.
RESIST THE REPUBLICAN REICH!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I am thrilled to see Mr. Jones win!McConnell has always played dirty to screw the dems. What an ass.Pity that Sassy had to be a part of this, she needs a new owner.
Here’s a petition:
There may be others too.
If Moore-On treats his horse any better than he treats his wife and other people’s daughters, it will difinitely surprise me. Incidentally he brother is now threatening Jones.
I am thrilled to see Mr. Jones win!
McConnell has always played dirty to screw the Dems. Bannon on down too. What asses.
Pity that Sassy had to be a part of this, she needs a new owner.
*So signed!Thank you Joanne for petition. Love the wording on this one.
Glad Jones won, a kick in the nuts for both Republicans and Drumpf. Finally, I might add. Good for Alabama; in fact good for the whole of America. Something to celebrate, but only for a short while and then get back to resisting. Because the GOP knew this could be in the cards and the House and Senate agreed on the new tax bill. They know they need to vote on it a.s.a.p., before Jones takes their seat and the GOP is down to only one vote in the Senate. The New York Times thinks the vote will be called this week, perhaps even today/tomorrow.
Joanne’s petition signed, quickly. May Bannon be banished to political Siberia…he can get on that same horse and they can both go there…”losers” as the Orange Horse’s Ass would say!
So happy that Doug Jones won! About that horse, it might have been a longshot but it was no old nag! And I hear that Moore’s horse threw him on his way home . . . or was that just a dream.
Of course, Ol’ Jabber Jowls McTurtle is flip flopping on when the change should take effect in the Senate. The only consistency there is when it suits the Reich’s agenda!
And I read yesterday that Drumpf is saying he predicted months ago that Moore would lose. The idiot knows no shame for his lying! I suppose it all comes down to looking like a winner . . . regardless of the truth.
May truth win out!
Jones’ win is a glimmer of real hope when we need it.
When you contact your Washington legislators about issues, if they are Republican, and especially if they are up for election next year, remind them of that upset in Alabama. Voters are paying attention!
Thanks all.
About that horse… I’ve since learned that Moore was abusing Sassy.
