Speculation on Roy Moore's proclivity for young girls.

"Moore graduated from West Point in 1969, was stationed in Germany for 16 months before shipping off to Vietnam as a military police officer.

His troops nicknamed him “Captain America” for his strict adherence to military regulations.

“I handed out a lot of Article 15s, (disciplinary measures that do not warrant trial by court-martial) and that didn’t make me very popular,” he remembers. “At night, I used to take sandbags and put them under my bed and around my barrack so that if anyone
exploded anything it wouldn’t kill me.”

His men hated him. He was a 'by the book' asshole.
He was in Saigon and sought solace with the young whores there.
Many were prepubescent.
Moore developed a taste for that.
And then he was discharged and came back home.
Makes sense to me.

We now refer to Moore's supporters as 'Moore-Ons'.

Coined that phrase my own self.
Yer welcome.

Moore is toast.

 Roy Moore is toast.  His political career is over. 
Yes, he may still be elected because when evangelical voters get the bit in their teeth nothing will change their minds. 

As a senator he will be shunned by 99 of his colleagues.  He will be radioactive.  No one will want to have anything to do with him.  In effect, Alabama will have only one senator, Richard Shelby.

If you want to cripple this state in the senate, vote for Moore.

So, DNC? Can you throw a little $$$ to Doug Jones AL senate campaign?

In light of last night's joyous victory could you spare some change for Doug?
In his race against self-righteous grifter asshole Roy Moore?

We saw "LBJ".

I liked it, but I don't know how historically accurate it is.
Johnson is portrayed as very insecure. Needing people to love him. It was hinted that this stemmed from his childhood.

Flight diverted after woman discovers her husband is cheating on her

A Qatar Airways flight had to make an emergency landing after a female passenger found out her husband was cheating on her mid-flight, reports the Hindustan Times.

The unidentified Iranian woman reportedly used her husband’s fingerprint to unlock his phone while he was asleep, before becoming incensed by what she found on the device.

Flight attendants were unable to calm the woman as she repeatedly hit her husband, causing the pilots to make the decision to make an emergency landing in India on 5 November.

Republicans stink at governing

By Josh Moon
Alabama Political Reporter

Republicans are the greatest conmen on Earth.
I am almost in awe of their skills and abilities to dupe the Republican voters into voting for them. At all. Much less to the point that they control Congress and the White House.
Because every hard statistic says they’re awful at governing.

Seriously, there’s not a single metric available that indicates the GOP’s ideas for governance are successful, particularly in the long term. They are horrible at foreign relations, downright atrocious at infrastructure, loudly wrong about policing and crime prevention and just God awful at unifying.

But what they are the absolute worst at – and I’m talking Trump sentence-level bad here – is the economy.

Read all about it here:

I think I've heard this song before. "Paul who?"

Initially, according to Nixon administration spokesmen, the Watergate break-in was "just a third rate burglary. Nothing to do with the administration."
Then slowly...slowly...the layers of the onion were peeled back.
You know the rest.

Is Papadapoulas Donnie Two-Scoops' 'Deep Throat'?
We'll see.

Voting is like driving.

If you want to go backward, choose "R".
If you want to go forward, choose "D".

Just absolutely INCREDIBLE balance.
