A political miracle in a most improbable place-Alabama cannot be be underestimated. I am simply overjoyed.

I’m well pleased, but not too hopeful that this will signal further wins. Unfortunately there is still a long, uphill battle.

Thanks John! I’m not as optimistic as you, though, about it being a beginning. Gonna be a long, uphill battle, and there are bad guys at the top rolling rocks down the sides of the hill. Big rocks. Sigh.

No doubt you’re correct but the signs in November and now in Alabama are positive – something to build on, Jill.

Thank you, my friend, for your faith in me and encouragement. This week has been an oddity, and between not feeling 100% and all the political b.s., I let it weigh me down for a day. But all is well today and I am back i my saddle of snarkiness! 😉

Jill, I like the comment made by retiring Republican Senator Jeff Flake who said “Decency won.” Moore’s proponents said what a good man he is, but when I think of Moore, I think of the words bigotry, unlawfulness and pedophila. The middle word gets overlooked as he was fired twice for disobeying the law. Judges and senators must follow the law, as we all should. Keith

I agree, and it amazes me that nobody seems to care that he was thrown off the judicial bench TWICE for failing to uphold the law that he was sworn to uphold. What, is this the old West, where the lawmen take the law into their own hands, make their own rules as it suits them? Enter Jesse James?

A near-run thing, but a win nonetheless.
Last I read Moore was refusing to concede (He will have to seek solace from his Barbie Dolls) and no doubt the Alt Right will be squeaking up ‘Conspiracies ‘ and digging up their ‘Protocols of Zion’ for proof.
In the meantime…..Tough! Democracy has spoken.
And Mr Jones won by a majority of votes, unless the flabmiester cluttering up the Whitehouse.

Oooh…I was hoping this might make some of the swinging Republicans think about swinging away from those ludicrous tax cuts. I honestly don’t know how Trump can stand there with a straight face and say that ‘all’ Americans are going to get tax cuts ..’big tax cuts -wink-‘

Me either, but listen to this … he said he wanted it passed by Christmas so that it would be a Christmas present for the American people!!! I was so enraged when I read that I almost put my fist through the window! I don’t want his Christmas “present” that is going to cost me several thousand dollars next year. The only present I want from him is his resignation!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It didn’t look like he would until about the last half-hour. It was way too close for comfort! Let us hope that this is, indeed, a preview, but I am only cautiously optimistic. There are still many hurdles.
