Tacit approval of Moore. This isn’t just a neutral statement.

THIS IS A REPUBLIC!

Saying it is up to the people of Alabama is not a risk. It is a fact. Unless you live in the great state of Alabama your opinion about this means diddlysquat.

“I love you to death Ronnie, but I think I have a new favorite president.”

I’m 70, and had resigned myself to the belief that America would never again have a good president. Then 2016 happened, and I feel fortunate to be around during PDJT’s presidency. Me too: New favorite president!

The “goose” could have been a simple accident of not paying attention to where a person was going.

...

That happened to me one time. Nothing I could have said would have convinced her otherwise. It was a case of not much room to move rather than paying attention.

“Teddy benefited by most the nation being focused on areas to which no man had gone before.”

A lot like Condit, Scarborough, and Kasich benefiting from 9/11.

My parents had a regular joke routine as moms desk @ dads office left little room to maneuver. Pardon me or excuse me works usually but there are “those people” that never understand

“Trump has great political instincts....and he did not endorse Moore remember? Luther Strange was his guy in the primary....”

Yes Trump does have great political instincts and those instincts told him it wasn’t the right time to pick a fight with Bitch and the GOPe. You notice that now that Moore is the candidate, Trump is standing by him. Moore has the misfortune of having both the RATs and the RINOs trying to submarine him.

“It’s not just her politics that are “annoying”...SHE is a VERY annoying person !”

Very true! She and Kushner should go home, make more babies, and stay out of the White House. It just looks like nepotism for either of them to be so directly involved.

“Ivanka was outstanding during the 2016 campaign.”

I was “wait and see” about Ivanka at the beginning. Then at the GOP Convention she began spewing her lib ideas about getting the government involved in subsidizing day care. Huh - are you KIDDING me? That’s when I knew.

Hey, as long as the decision is made by Alabamans I am good with it.

Wow! How is that not front-page news?!


Precisely! She would have called out the judge with her allegations at that time if they were true. No doubt in my mind that she is a liar. Will be sending $50 to the judge today.

Well, if they decide to stay home rather than vote for a damaged Republican and allow a leftist senator to win and help thwart Trump’s national agenda, I won’t be good with that at all and not sure why you’d ever be either - especially when we already have 4-5 senators who can’t be counted on for anything except joining the Democrats when their votes are needed most.

Trump gives the perfect answer. Is it just me, or is he getting a little more thoughtful and measured in some of his comments? This is good.

Great Summary.

Quick question: Which woman was it who alleged that Moore was barred from going to the mall?

That allegation was debunked by the then Mall Manager who does not recall ever barring Moore from the mall.
