Trump's influence on his base continues to astound me. They pick him over the guy who legitimized him early in his run. I shed no tears at all for Jeff Sessions, and take joy I am not entirely proud of for him helping to create the monster that is Trump and now being devoured by said monster. But it does amaze me that the favored son of Alabama conservatives got soundly beat by a total political novice because he did the right thing in recusing himself. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so disturbing. Actually, it is still hilarious as it is disturbing.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostAs swampdragon noted, Sessions doesn't lose if he never leaves his seat as Senator in the first place. But it's not like his opponent lacked name recognition even though he was a "total political novice". Tuberville was a massively successful college coach in a state where college football is still revered. I love reading these news reports that imply Tuberville just came out of nowhere in Alabama. It'd be like Derek Jeter running in New York had he chosen a path different from owning the Marlins.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostOr, anyone smart enough to beat Nick Saban six times in a row is a heck of a lot smarter than Sessions. Now, that's from my extensive database of Alabama fans/boosters (precisely one person) who has also swore to start a recall if Tuberville screams "WAR EAGLE" after he wins the general election.

Mary Trump's tell-all book about her uncle sold 950,000 copies by the end of its first day on sale, according to publisher Simon & Schuster.
That figure, which included pre-sales, as well as e-books and audiobooks, is a new record for Simon & Schuster, the company said.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

And Trump has apparently deployed a federal military security force to black op protestors. They were in Portland snatching people off the street in unmarked vans in camo with no names or designations.
And people wonder why I worry he'll refuse to leave office come January.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Ruth Bader Ginsburg's cancer is back. I hope she can make it to Jan. 20.
If not, we are going to have to figure out how to pull off "A Weekend at Ruthie's"."Looks like I picked a bad day to give up sniffing glue.

i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.
