Okay, here we go.
Black vote is up – bigger numbers than Obama got.
It is 9:00 and it looks like Jones might win this thing.
9:29 – AP and Politico called it! Yes!
And the icing on the top – Mitch McConnell is blaming Steve Bannon.
Hey, Moore, screw you and the horse you rode in on!
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
I’m here, wine poured, and big cup of turkey soup to fight off the chill. Lots of garlic to keep us all healthy. Bring it on! I hope this isn’t as bad as when the Dotard won.
1Pinky: Gee, Micr, what do you want to do tonight?
Micr: The same thing we do every night, Pinky – figure out how to extinct the nacilbupeR party!
If Roy Moore WINS, Dems in the Senate should hamper Moore and the snacilbupeR with as public as possible an ethics complaints so as to equate the words “pedophile” and “Roy Moore”. Then use the pedophile to destroy the nacilbupeR Party.
If Roy Moore LOSES, Dems should use the tightened seat count in the Senate to hamper and delay nacilbupeR plans to destroy our country for the sake of their masters, the 1%. With a goal of course of destroying the nacilbupeR Party.
2If the SOB wins I’ll have to lock up my keyboards, or get banned for the non-stop profane invective that will flow forth. It will confirm my opinions of the $#%^&^%$#@%^ ‘Murikkkan #$%^^& &^^%%$#.
Not good:

With 67% reporting, Moore is now up 54-45.

Now 76% reporting and the margin has narrowed, down to a 51-48 Moore lead. About two-thirds of Montgomery and half of Jefferson (Jones’ two big counties) still have yet to report.
My gut called it this morning – Doug Jones +2%. It is being said that as Talladega County goes so goes Alabama. With 100% now in, Doug Jones won the county 51%-49%.
Micr, in the very bad circumstance of a Pedo-Roy Moore win, maybe Mayor Muriel Bowser will insist Roy register as a sex offender. Would be a shame (not) if old Roy were to be denied housing. Rep. Gwenn Moore (D-WI) has already tipped off the Senate Sergeant at Arms to protect the Senate Pages. Thinking maybe a Dogtra iQ Plus Remote Trainer from Cabella’s would be essential, too. Forget batteries; wire him up for 440.
5This might be a glass of Dos Maderas 5+5 rum evening after all.
Actually sort of amazing:

6Tight as a tick: 85% reporting and Moore is now up 49.4 to 49.0. Hold on to your butts.
Jones is up!
7@Jane & PKM
Senate Pages prolly are safe either way. Pedophile Roy prefers his conquests to be 14+ to barely 17 yoa. And too physically small to successfully resist.
8AP is calling it for Jones!!! hollee chit
Now 88% reporting and Jones’ lead is growing, up to 49.6 to 48.8, around 10,000 votes.
9I’ll be damned.
BREAKING: Democrat Doug Jones wins election as U.S. senator from Alabama. @AP race call at 10:23 p.m. EST. #AlabamaElection #APracecall
9:24 PM – Dec 12, 2017
Moore and Trump, eat shit and die mofos.
10Talk about a nail biter! But as it got to the two large counties, both going for Jones, I poured my first drink in two months. Single malt scotch, double. My neighbors have no idea what that yell was coming from my house.
Virginia, Alabama, we’re on our way!
11There IS a God and she is in her heaven looking down at Roy Moore and smiling right now. Hallelujah!
12Oh my! Just got home from board meeting of Pre-K school at my church & and have been watching recording of Rachel Maddow. And she is just now talking with Cory Gardner. Then I checked here and wow! Can stop gnawing my nails now! Wow!
13I’M SO FUCKING HAPPY I CAN’T STAND IT!!
Bit by bit we’re saving ourselves. That’s something Putie and his minions don’t understand about Americans. We really do love our freedom. Not the blathering idiot wingnut free-dumb, I mean the real thing. We will fight like true patriots for it for as long as it takes, whatever it takes. Putie and his snacilbupeR pals will never, ever get this close again for 100+ years. We’re coming for them, and we’re unstoppable.
I’m suddenly less afraid and my depression is diminished. I think I’ll have a beer to celebrate!! Woo-hoo-hoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
14Jane & PKM, (“Forget batteries; wire him up for 440.”)– Something slower will do…
15440V-AC is damned serious stuff. A co-worker miswired a giant backup genset and a large part of a city-block sized 2-story building got fried in an instant on a business day. Nearly all of it’s 120/220VAC electricity using stuff anyway, hundreds of computers, lights, etc. Building got evacuated too, smoke everywhere.
Oops. I just realized I probably really offended momma with my language. I’m very sorry momma. I just got so excited! I’ll go get my own soap. I’ve got a bar of Dove in the bathroom. (Trudging off, but secretly grinning with giddiness. Whispering, “Doug Jones won, Doug Jones won!”)
16TexasTrailerParkTrash says: “There IS a God and she is in her heaven looking down at Roy Moore and smiling right now. Hallelujah!”
I think that she is about to pee on Donnei too, real soon now! Look up Trump, a hard rain gonna fall…
17I am torn about whether I should go out and try to dance on the icy street, or save it for Trumps Impeachment. Ah, what the hell, I will put the ice skates on and go dancing.
THANKS ALABAMA!!!!
18Donnie Douchebag is frantically trying to activate his Voter fraud commission. Good luck with that!
19Less is Moore?
20Or Moore is Less?
Looks like it’ll be both tonight!
And the Dallas Managed News finally says on the front page, in part, “narrows the GOP advantage in the U.S. Senate to 51-49”. Such music to my ears.
21Doin’ the Happy Dance with all the other customers of the Beauty Shop!
This is, of course, after drinking several glasses of Prosecco and obsessively watching the count on the WaPo.
As of this moment, ELEVEN (11!) counties that went for the Orange Moron are in the Jones column tonight. This is impossibly sweet!
22That was one helluva victory speech. I like that guy.
23It happened in Alabama and it can happen in Texas. 2018 is our turn and this should kick us into a higher gear.
24For a guy who likes to prance around the stage waving a tiny pistol and wearing incredibly tacky pseudo-cowboy threads this guy has a lousy seat! I’m just glad that he isn’t going to be able to get a new one in DC!
25” … and the horse you rode in on.”
Could we please give that poor horse a break? Have you watched the video? I don’t even ride and I can tell that he has no idea of what he is doing and that horse is confused as hell.
You can add horse abuse to the list of Moore sins.
26Well, politics in this country is still awful, but it got a bit better tonight. Somebody on The Rachel Maddow Show quoted Martin Luther King, Jr. tonight, and I’ll do it again: “The moral arc of the Universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” It bent a little more with this election. Good for Alabama!
I’ll bet Trumps twitter fingers will be smokin’ about 6 am tomorrow.
27Hey Rick, careful with your spelling on that one, and “Booyah” the good guys won a Senate seat in Alabama!
28The horse has endured enough torture already.
29Congrats to all the decent Alabamians who got out there and shat on Mr. R (Perv) Moore.
This has been pretty damned astounding, considering the normally blood red terrain of Alabama.
Doug Jones swung a ~20-30% AL Rethug lean in an effen ‘special’ (read: normally low turnout, Anglo dominated) election, during holiday season too. Hyper-freakin’ amazing.
There just might be a good f’in chance of throwing some of the Rethugs out of their comfy Texas birdnests.
With an all out effort, enough money, decent candidates, and some true leadership, it just could happen…
(Damn, I’m glad I donated to Jones a little bit. I think that I’ll have to re-adjust my books/financial outlook in 2018; somehow I’m going to be noticeably ‘lighter’ in the wallet dept I suspect.)
30I am hearing those wonderful black people turned out en masse. Must have made the NaziKKK scumbags and child molesters ill. Thank you to every single one of those good hearted folks who made a big step towards saving our democracy and constitution tonight. Bless every single one of you. You gave a nation more courage tonight.
We have only begun to fight!!
31Wonder if Alabama S.o.S. will be in such a hurry to erase all digital images of ballots as he was yesterday.
If good ole roy will have to find a mark ( Bannon? The scammer being scammed) to pay for a recount. These images might just make that cheaper, faster and easier.
I love it when they are hoisted on their own petard. Petard supplied by alabama supreme court.
32Aren’t there a few of them under investigation, indictment?
morning coffee is tasting mighty fine this am.
33I am glad the people of Alabama saved the rest of us from the hellish Moore, but it was too close for comfort.
I wonder if Roy Moore is finished as a politician. I have a sneaking suspicion he will learn nothing from this election horror and will be more strident then ever.
I propose an extra hurrah for the Alabama voters who, despite being genetically republican, wrote in another candidate.
K: Moore might ask (demand) for a recall, but isn’t it newly legal for some votes to be destroyed after the election?
34To no ones surprise Moore is refusing to concede. Apparently he is still on his “high horse” – no word yet on whether it’s Moore and the horse he rode in on.
35I think the main takeaway here is, Howard Dean was right all along; you CAN win fighting every battle, in all 50 states.
36Vive le Resistance!
37Truly someone should call the ASPCA. Pulling the reins back on both sides of that horse’s mouth with a bit in is painful to the horse and can damage its mouth and the reaction from the horse is to be expected. Putrid little twerp. (Sorry. I did clean up what I wanted to call Moore but that’s the best I can do.)
38hey
39leave that poor crippled horse out of it
Moore is still hanging on..waiting on the recount…pathetic. Good job Alabama ( well most of it)
40He needs riding lessons. Poor horse. He is one of those people who thinks all he doesn’t need to learn anything. That it is his right to use, misuse and abuse another.
41Just realized that last night in comnents I typed “Cory Gardner” instead of “Cory Booker” in writing about Rachel Maddow’s show. Darn me!
42Moore’s favorite magazine! He even named his poor horse after it!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sassy_(magazine)
43Had a closer look at Moore’s riding skill. Only a dodo would hold the reins out that far. Poor horse! He had to put up with the dodo on his back just for photo ops! I bet he wished he could buck off the extra pounds and run like hell so he wouldn’t get caught.
44Easy on the poor horse. He doesn’t look too happy to be carrying that doofus.
45A self-respecting horse woulda bucked that sumbitch off and stomped him or, better yet, just rolled over on him.
46Ought to be against the law to treat a horse like that. I’m pretty sure it’s a sin. #FreeSassy
47And then Democratic traitor/NRSC loser Cory Gardner had the whatever to ask Doug Jones to caucus with Republicans. I hoped Doug would say “Why sure, Cory. It’d be an honor to vote with you guys.” And then do exactly what he was elected to do.
48Roy Moore rides a horse like a monkey humping a basketball.
49To be fair, there is a go-fund-me account to raise awareness of the danger of sexual cruelty of horses.
