A Republican could rape a newborn on live television and still remain in power. No problem at all. Just say "I can't remember" and "God bless America" and all is fine.

Maybe, just maybe thats changed a little today...

And just when I thought nothing about American politics could shock me anymore...

I know and these shocking images of Roy Moore trying to ride a horse which he obviously knows nothing about..



Strirups too low.. you should be able to stand up. Horse is obviously contemplating bucking him.

What a cowboy lol

Whoa, of all the states to flip, ALABAMA?! Pretty much the most hardcore Republican bible-bashing right wing state there is? That's.... I've predicted a lot of politics correctly lately but that genuinely shocked me. Perhaps there's hope for that country yet.

Well they went with the line "he may be a child abuser, but the other guy's a Democrat." That was always going to be a struggle.

It seems there actually is a limit. Something to be thankful for I guess

Not really. The core of the religious right don't care much about your private sexual peccadillos as long as you're anti gay, anti-paedophile, anti feminist in public. He could have got 13 year olds pregnant and forced them to have abortions at gunpoint, as long as he was violently anti-abortion in public. And it was all pretty "minor" (pun not intended) - although we might, reasonably enough, consider teens to be out of bounds, in Alabama (and Utah), with parental consent, you can get married at 14. So his "I asked her parents" defence is liable to be seen as "oh, that's alright then".

If you look at the stats, he didn't lose any of the older generation white vote. But he lost the young, especially young women, and, "surprisingly" enough, the non-caucasians. And it was still fucking borderline.

Well, Roy Moore has accepted his defeat with all the grace and charm we've come to expect:

Another similarity between Trump and Brexit - thousands of pages of red tape (read: regulations that made things better for workers and the environment) are being slashed.

And a similarity between Trumps administration and "1984" has been revealed too:

My suggestions for alternatives:

Vulnerable ― Exposed
Entitlement ― Right
Diversity ― Variety
Evidence-based ― Evidential
Science-based ― Scientific
Transgender ― Of gender differing from that assigned at birth
Fetus ―Pre-birth lump

If i remember correctly during Republican years fetus became unborn children or unborn babies. They also had a thing with replace "entitlements" with "priviledge". I remember times in which they insisted that taking vacation from work wasn't a right but a priviledge. Someone comes up with that one here and everybody will be out in streets protesting

Science i never saw them questioning that much. After all we were in the Silicon Valley. Even the Republicans weren't bringing that one up.

The funny thing is Republicans always made a fuss about the politically correctness of the Democrats but they had their own politically correctness.

It's really common. Official or not. The previous mayor of my city had nine staff under her that all information went through. There were words, terms, and phrases they could not use and would not accept.
It's hard to say if that was blatant outright censorship. Propaganda naturally happens either deliberately or accidentally.
