1. Thanks, just posted in LBN

I fear Mo Brooks.

2. Worth another shot for Doug Jones.

Perhaps a long shot, but at least he has a record in the job. And maybe they'll nominate Roy Moore again. Who knows?

5. If Doug Jones Wants A Chance At Winning.....

He needs to either move to a different state, or hope that the repubs nominate a pedophile again.

6. "Has Indicated" is not the same as saying so outright.

4. What Q-Anon crazy is the GOP going to run to replace him?

I don't know much about Alabama state politics, but my first (knee-jerk) reaction is to ask that question.

7. Alabama GOP is supposedly FREAKING OUT, fearing that his replacement

will be a QAnon whack-a-doodle, and won't have the talent for, you know, actually getting things accomplished for the state of Alabama that Shelby has.

Despite the fact that Shelby is 86 years old.

14. Rachel postulated it might clear the way for a guilty vote.

Nothing to lose. I could live with that.

15. Plus he used to be a Democrat

I sense a Darth Vader: there may still be some good in him.
