On Tuesday, women struck back against Trump -- and jerks like this guy. It was a defeat for hate politics (found via Progressive Eruptions). Pundits of various stripes assess the Virginia results. Fox reacted to the big Dem win by changing the subject. I noticed on Wednesday that a lot of right-wing sites were focusing on the anniversary of Trump's election rather than on current events. We're in a strong position for 2018 but will still need to fight -- so don't get complacent. Here's the difference just a few votes can make. Electoral-Vote.com has more, and more here.

Breitbart is solidly in Roy Moore's corner. A religio-wingnut uses the Bible to show that the charges are no biggie, and many Alabama Republicans seem to agree. Here's what could happen, and why many Republicans are waffling. Three pundits discuss the case.
This is Trump's base. Some Trumpanzees are really committed.
Republicans are going to have some problems with voter turnout.

If prayer works, I guess Eddie Munst...I mean, Paul Ryan will save us taxpayers a few bucks and disband his security detail, right?
So, the people who died in that Texas church had their prayers answered? Does that mean the one who were just wounded weren't praying hard enough?
Poor dinosaurs. I guess all those real estate people have been right all along--location, location, location!
The sister of the homophobe who was trounced by Danica Roem looked familiar. She's an actress who was on a lot of TV shows. Ironically, she was on a Seinfeld episode titled "The Outing."
Re: "Breitbart is solidly in Roy Moore's corner. A religio-wingnut uses the Bible to show that the charges are no biggie, and many Alabama Republicans seem to agree."
Maybe I'm alone in this, but I'm glad to see the rather explicit support for Moore among the Religious Right. Its pretense of moral uprightness is being stripped away, and we can now see them as what they are: Mercenary thinkers who're more interested in the Christocracy they want to establish ... and thus willing to support anyone like Moore whom they think will implement it, no matter what they've done ... rather than true champions of "family values."
Yeah, I know some GOPers have denounced him, but they aren't as deep within the R.R. movement as those who've either been silent or who've supported Moore. Those GOPers are trying to paper over a stinking, rotten, theocratic edifice, which ironically they, themselves, helped to build over the last few decades, by appealing to such folk and trying to get their votes.
Watching the GOP as a whole squirm over the possibility they may elect a child molester to the Senate would be gratifying and entertaining to watch, if not for the things that happened to some Alabama teens that caused all of it in the first place.
Nonnie: I doubt Ryan will carry his faith to its logical conclusion. These guys almost never do.
Does that mean the one who were just wounded weren't praying hard enough?
That makes sense. I never pray at all and I've never been shot. Sniff. I guess I'm just not good enough for God.
Yes, poor dinosaurs. It's beginning to look like they might be managing the planet better if they were still around.
PsiCop: Oh, I agree with you there. Not that we've ever faced any shortage of proofs of the Christian Right's hypocrisy, but it all helps, especially with the rising generation which (even in the South) is more open to secularism. Evangelical support for Moore will just confirm that their enthusiasm for Trump isn't a one-time fluke.
