    Text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page in 2016 that have been obtained by Fox News refer to then-candidate Donald Trump as a "loathsome human" and "an idiot." More than 10,000 texts between Strzok and Page were being reviewed by the Justice Department after Strzok was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe after it was revealed that some of them contained anti-Trump content. The messages obtained by Fox News were sent during the 2016 campaign and contain multiple discussions about various candidates. On March 2, Strzok texted Page that someone "asked me who I’d vote...

    Alabama votes on Tuesday in a special election to fill the Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, now the attorney general. The last polls close at 8 p.m. Eastern. Strong support for Roy S. Moore, the Republican, is expected in rural, mostly white parts of the state and in its northern half. The Democrat, Doug Jones, aims to create a lead in the urban counties that include Birmingham and Montgomery, and across a band of largely black counties. One critical battleground is a trio of smaller, whiter cities: Mobile, Tuscaloosa and Huntsville. Mr. Moore won a hard race in 2012...

  • Vanity - Turnout, Turnout, Turnout....vote for Judge, Roy Moore. [LIVE THREAD]

    12/12/2017 2:00:51 AM PST · by JLAGRAYFOX · 295 replies
    It's really quite simple.....An American citizen, woman or man, is innocent until proven guilty by a judge, jury of their peers and a solid conviction of said accused crime. Allegations & Accusations carry no meaning whatsoever, until they are duly proven to be true & factual in a recognized court of law. If women voice a charge of crime or sexual abuse, then they must follow those charges through and file criminal charges and/or law suits in a recognized court of law. They have not done this, so their outburst of sexual abuse carry neither weight or merit. Alabama, voters,...
