Like how he deleted his tweets backing Strange after Strange lost because he's a big Predisential baby. | ||

And I love that Trump thinks that major news papers reporting on the same country means they are colluding. | ||

That's really throwing you and Danglars under the bus there, long history of pretending to threaten debates and then moving away from them when they could possibly happen. It's not the lack of answers. It's the answers that have been given. | ||

It is not ok to take away the personhood from the people playing and to actually disallow them from being political. It is plain and simply not a reasonable request. | ||

Getting rid of the symptoms changes nothing. The party is utterly divided and throwing out the moderate part isn't going to get moderate Republican states to vote for the bat shit crazy candidates who you would need to replace them with the unify the party. Similarly the Southern Strategy has cultivated enough far-right supporters that moving in on the moderates is a manageable feat (from what I'm seeing). The second option, of moving away from the tea party and back towards the center is probably more favorable in the long run tho. | ||

After two failed gubernatorial bids, Moore was elected for a second six-year term as chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court in 2012. Again, he invoked the Bible during his swearing-in ceremony. “We’ve got to remember that most of what we do in court comes from some Scripture or is backed by Scripture,” Moore said after taking the oath of office. Again, the panel ousted him — this time, in 2016, permanently — after Moore reportedly urged state judges to defy the U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage. Moore has compared homosexuality to bestiality and called it “an inherent evil against which children must be protected.” Moore does not celebrate all religions. This summer, he called Islam a “false religion” on the campaign trail. "I think homosexuality should be illegal," Moore said. "Sodomy was declared illegal by the United States Supreme Court in 1987, it said there was no right under the constitution to enlarge the fundamental rights of homosexuals." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/09/27/a-short-history-of-roy-moores-controversial-interpretations-of-the-bible/ | ||
