Major political win for lunatic Christian judge Roy Moore

[Foxaèr]

Roy Moore, 70, a former State Supreme Court chief justice and firebrand evangelical Christian, defeated Senator Luther Strange yesterday in the Republican runoff to fill the United States Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, now the Attorney General.

Moore, known as “the Ten Commandments Judge” will face the Democratic nominee, Doug Jones, a former United States attorney, in the general election on December 12.

Hopefully, he doesn't win against Doug Jones.

Jones' chance of winning the Alabama Senate seat is about the same as the proverbial ice cube in hell.

In a body which already had Ted Cruz what is one more shithead in the senate?

OTOH, every cloud has a silver lining.

Trump ’embarrassed and pissed’ after ‘low-energy’ Luther Strange goes down in flames: report

President Donald Trump is reportedly still smarting after Alabama Republican voters rejected Luther Strange, the candidate he endorsed for the Senate race to fill the seat vacated by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

CNN’s Jim Acosta reports that “multiple White House sources” have told his network’s White House team that Trump is “embarrassed and pissed” about Luther Strange’s loss to Roy Moore, the disgraced former judge who believes that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were God’s retribution against the United States for tolerating homosexuality.

Anything that ruins the WLB's day is a good thing.

6.  Moore is a homophobic, racist, pig.  Prime Alabamy stock!

In the same vein of a stopped clock being correct twice a day, I note Islam is just as false as Christianity.

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Maybe Moore will come down with a terrible case of boils from head to foot.

yaws and goiters would be a nice touch



being vomited out by the earth would be superlative

If Moore becomes a Senator we will all suffer.

Turning back the clock with Roy Moore

If a latter-day Rip Van Winkle woke up this week from a 50-year nap in Alabama, he’d figure not much had changed when he learned that Roy Moore had won a run-off election and was poised to become the state’s next U.S. senator.

An Alabama politician who makes his name by refusing to obey federal court orders? Same-old, same-old.

Well, not quite. Most white Alabamans aren’t yellow-dog Democrats any more but yellow-dog Republicans. And where George Wallace’s raison d’être was racial segregation, Moore’s is Christian nationalism.

As in placing a stone monument carved with the Ten Commandments and various patriotic scriptures in the state judicial building. And telling probate judges not to give out marriage licenses because same-sex marriage violates the Christian God’s law.

In the service of his ideology, Moore carries around a laminated copy of Joseph Story’s 1833 Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, which says about the First Amendment, “It was the general, if not the universal, sentiment in America that Christianity ought to be favored by the State.”
