Roy Moore is a bigot

BLM is pure as the driven snow

The glaring inconsistencies and outright lies by the MSM, are amazing.

I don’t know why anyone thought he would lose.

Guy’s a legend.

Democrats will now target Moore as being a racist no matter what he says or does. All Moore has to do is let the liberals dig their grave by doing so. He’s got a few rough edges for sure but he will help drain the swamp which is the important thing imho.

Roy Moore's victory had nothing to do with President Trump.

Luther was going to lose no matter what and here's why:

Here's why: Luther Strange had a very young and attractive campaign consultant who ended up getting a lot of money from him for consulting after the campaign had concluded. Not saying they had an affair. I have no idea. But as AG, Strange indicted a state legislature for paying someone for campaign work on a non-current campaign, which is what Strange did for his dear and close friend Jennifer.

Jennifer proceeds to divorce her husband. She filed notice with the court that she was moving to Bham from Tuscaloosa with her shared custody son. She gave the address of the house she was moving to in court documents in 2011. (Luther’s neighborhood when he lived in Bham.)

The house, in the upmarket exclusive conclave of Mountain Brook, was valued at around $450,000. But it wasn’t foreclosed on until 2012 and her “high bid” of $30,000 was accepted. Curious that she listed THIS ADDRESS in court papers when it wasn't even on the market!

A blogger wrote about that. A judge ordered that blogger jailed for writing about an alleged affair between then Gov. Bob Riler's son and a lobbyist, and then the blogger was sued for the Big Luther post . The blogger refused to be silenced. The judge put him in jail. He lost his home to foreclosure.

Fast forward: Alabama governor Robert Bentley is embroiled in an affair with a much younger married woman from his church. He puts the mistress and her husband on the state payroll.

The mistress basically begins to run the state. Lots of illegal things happen, not the least of which is the governor being caught on tape in a serious sexual conversation with the young lady.

He and she are getting dark money and open a safe deposit box together. Everyone knows that to get something on the Bentley’s desk it goes through Rebecca. So money flowed.

The same blogger who broke the alleged Luther/Jennifer affair broke the news of what the elderly Governor of Alabama was doing with his hook-up hottie Rebecca Mason. The Alabama media refused to touch it and gave the luv guv a free pass to continue raping the state.

Then the gov’s long suffering wife left her phone on record while she went on a beach walk and the lecherous old luv guv called his young mistress and proceeded to tell her what he wanted to do.

Someone unknown took the file to a gas station (on a jump drive) and called YellowHammer news, conservative news outlet in Alabama. (Former owner Cliff Sims now works for Trump.) Yellowhammer broke the story and then the chips all started falling.

But it took months for governor to get investigated. I mean, this just went on and on. Then Jeff Sessions was tapped for AG by Trump and Gov. Bentley took this opportunity to make a deal with Big Luther Strange.

Gov. appointed Luther to the senate and Luther called off the investigation into the gov and his mistress.

So it took even more months for things to be resolved. A new AG came in and got the gov. out, but a lot of people who did a lot of bad things walked because Luther called off the dogs.

The Gov. had members of his staff who knew about the affair targeted. He fired the head of the Alabama Law Enforcement, ALEA, Spencer Collier and accused him of stealing just to cover up his own crimes with his mistress and the dark money.

The gov attacked and sicked law enforcement on people who wrote about the affair. (This was blogger Roger Schuler and attorney David Watkins who broke the story first when no one else would.) Watkins owns a bank and Bentley had false investigations started on his bank.

There is soooo much more evil that went on and a lot of innocent people got hurt. And it went on far longer than it had to, all because Big Luther stopped the investigation so he could be appointed senator.




Mr. & Mrs. Strange

That’s some dirt you got there!
Nothing surprises me anymore - especially in ‘po-dunk’ Alabama. Good grief!

My take on this is, all dirt aside, Strange did not lose this race. Moore won it because of his uncompromising stance on issues.

That’s not even the half of it!

A huge arrested just happened today. Two major player lawyers for Drummond Coal were arrested for bribing a state senator to help shut down an EPA investigation in an urban neighborhood. http://www.al.com/news/birmingham/index.ssf/2017/09/two_balch_bingham_lawyers_and.html#incart_big-photo

They funneled the money to him via a fake nonprofit that Luther’s campaign fundraiser head was on the board of!

Ok, I realize that’s a convolated way of saying it so here’s this:

“The head of Sen. Luther Strange’s campaign fundraising committee is listed on federal tax documents as an officer in the nonprofit agency federal prosecutors say was used to bribe an Alabama lawmaker who pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges this month.”

I think Luther also lost it. I respect Judge Roy Moore personally, but prior to all this would have viewed Luther as the better candidate for that specific position.

Luther has a good reputation in Alabama as a guy who got things done the right way.

He went toe to toe against powerful (but dirty) state legislators and won and he also stood up against the gambling interests in this state.

Judge Moore, as a jurist, great guy, great jurist. But was he a perfect candidate for senator? I don’t think so even though I would have gone to the mat for him over the issues he’s stared down.

It seems to me that they probably waited until after the election so as not to embarrass trump and Luther. Trump was lucky to dodge a bouncing Betty. Luther sounds imho just plain dirty , and moreover sloppy in the tracks covering department. Someone in the wh is doing a very inadequate job vetting imho.

recommending is one thing, vetting is another. Presuming they are two different functions, Jared might be technically off the hook...

Even so, ...

Trump has no prior political office experience. He brought in his immediate family as advisors. They also have no prior political office experience.

Hopefully we are getting a decoy story. Alternatively, as I mentioned a few posts ago, Trump had to lose some losers simply because he needed some votes on other bills such as (though not limited to) repealing and replacing Obamacare, and someone told Trump that support by Trump for Luther was the price of those votes.

It is all speculation and most of it might be Kabuki. Sometimes I speculate that the current obamacare thing is a feint for something to come that is not quite fully baked yet. I get that sense by (for example) watching Rand Paul talking about Obamacare with the sound turned off. Of course I am totally in flyover country, out of the loop, uninformed, etc.

Thanks for all this info. Strange is as dirty as they come.

We dodged a big bullet.
