It was a VERY bad week for the Republicans. They lost a seat in a place they never should have, Trump's facing impeachment, Blake Farenthold and Paul Ryan are leaving Congress next year, and there are clear signs that a blue wave is set to take out the GOP in a massive landslide in 2018. Go sanity. A clear kudos to black people who showed in droves to vote, eclipsing even Obama's vote totals. We will need that same energy come next year where we could have a real impact on the survival of this country. What is that weird feeling I am having? Oh that's right. It's called hope. Almost forgot what that felt like. Let's see those runner ups.
10)Mario Batali/Russel Simmons and more- Two more went splat on the windshield of sexual assault charges, taking down Batali and Simmons, both of which are in serious trouble. Batali was a serial groper while Simmons has been accused of rape by four women, and this is not even the first time these kind of allegations have come up. Both appear to be guilty, with Batali not even denying the case against him. Sports stars like Marshall Faulk and Donovan McNab, along with several other ex-sports stars, have also either lost their jobs or been accused of sexual harrasment as well. Now to be fair, some of these are a far cry from what Batali and Simmons have been accused of, with several apparently over comments made that border sexual harassment but I don't know if they fall into that reality. What is true is that we have way too many men groping women. I just fear that this is getting dangerously close to false accusations to get media coverage territory. See more about that below.
9)Travis Smiley?- Here is a great example of a story I am not sure is true or not. Longtime PBS host Smiley has been accused of sexual misconduct, a fact he strenuously denies. He was suspended from his job after an investigation found that he probably did it. But the way the station conducted the investigation seems seriously flawed. They won't tell him who is alleging what he did and appears to have been started by an unknown individual (the station's investigator I would guess) who called random people to ask them if Smiley ever molested them and got the ball rolling here. Only after a staffer told him about these calls, did he realize he was under investigation for a crime he says he says he has no knowledge of. This is the same fucking plot line to Frank Kafka's book The Trial. I have no problem with people accusing someone of harassment. But hiding behind anonymity is bullshit and is almost certainly leading to false claims being made. I don't know if Smiley is guilty or not, but it sure seems suspect to convict someone of a crime without giving him any of the evidence or a chance to defend himself. I am genuinely worried that the #MeToo Movement has spiraled out of control. If it has, God help every man out there.
8)Omarosa- I loathe this woman. She is everything wrong with this world. So when I heard she got her black ass fired from the White House I laughed for ten straight minutes. When I heard how it went down, I needed oxygen to catch my breath. Turns out she was fired by General Kelly for whatever idiotic position she had, which is odd as firing this bitch is the one thing Trump is actually qualified to do. She did not go quietly into that good night. Word is she pitched a queen sized fit and had to be dragged from the property kicking and screaming. That was a great story.
7)NYC Terrorist attack- Another story that made me laugh. This terrorist wannabe thought it would be a great idea to strap some homemade pipe bombs to his body and go for a stroll through the NYC subway system during rush hour. Unfortunately for him, and a common occurrence for these kind of losers, the bomb didn't explode right, so all he did was slightly injure four people while burning the shit out of his body. Thinking of him jumping around trying to put himself out while real humans point and laugh at his incompetence is an image I will treasure. Enjoy prison moron because either the Supermax or Rikers is your home forever.
6)Ajit Pai- This fuckwad just killed the Internet today. Thankfully there should be a bunch of lawsuits that may delay this until we get Trump out of office. He's the rub: if this does go through and the internet changes as badly as it might, this ass is going to shot when people's free porn disappears. There are going to be a lot of horny, frustrated gun owners that are going to be really pissed at a guy who is not the right skin color to downplay their hatred. Good luck with the rest of your life idiot. There are some real dangerous people coming your way and I am glad I am not you or your family. You are facing some serious shit when this plays out.
5)Don Trump- This ass faced an eight hour grilling by Congress where he used the client-attorney privilege excuse to say why he couldn't talk about conversations he had with his father. That's not how that works moron. Just because there was an lawyer in the room doesn't make it privileged. Then, dumbass went off and demanded an investigation into how that leak got out, somehow unaware that these kinds of leaks have been happening since forever. Just because the meeting happened behind closed doors doesn't mean some of what happened might not leak out. If it's classified that is a problem. If it's because you are a moron, that isn't.
4)Evangelicals- Way too many of you voted for an alleged pedo because a Democrat was worse? You really don't read the Bible at all do you? Stop pretending you give two shits about God or Christ or whatever because your actions sure don't fathom said belief structure. I hate heretics and these guys are the worst. How many commandments are you allowed to break before you go to hell? I am pretty sure there are at least three that don't apply to you anymore so there is that. Either follow the words of Christ or get bent. There is no third option. And if you vote Republican AND are an alleged Christian, you might want to peruse that holy book of your to see all the things that party does not stand for that Jesus does, like just about everything. And unless you can show me in the Bible where abortion is even mentioned, shut the fuck about it.
3)Steve Bannon- Well that race blew up in his face didn't it? The shows there is a baseline some Republicans won't cross giving hope for us all. His candidate flamed out hard in one of the reddest states there is. This shows that EVERY race is competitive come 2018. Thanks Steve for showing us that. The fact he looks like a drunk after a six week bender doesn't help. If he continues to put up people of this caliber to take on the Republican establishment, the entire Congress will go blue. Keep up the good work.
2)Trump and the Republicans- They really ate it this week. Their senate seat went up in flames. Their tax plan is still not a done deal with several ways this could still die in committee. Depending when McCain returns to the Senate, along with votes by Corker, Flake and Collins, this still may not pass the Senate. And with Jones looming large next year, if they don't pass it now, they might never. Even if they do get it through, this massively unpopular bill, along with fucking up the internet and the whole Russians scandal, they may be facing historic loses come 2018. The generic ballot is as high as 15 points which would give the democrats 60-80 seats in the House. Ouch guys. Way to keep "winning."
1)Roy Moore- What a loser. Dumbass tried riding to the voting booth on his horse and even he didn't want anything to do with it, bucking the whole way. I talked to some people who ride horse professionally and they said it looked like he didn't know what he was doing. No surprise there. But then he lost by at least 1.5% and decided to pull a Trump and refuse to admit defeat, holding onto some dim hope that military ballots, provisional ones and write ins?, would push him over the edge. Never going to happen with a 22000 vote difference. Military ballots at best would be in the thousands and there is no guarantee that all of them would even be for him. 90% of the provisional ballots will go to Jones as almost all of them will be from poor black neighborhoods, subjected to awful ID laws. Write ins are just stupid as why would someone write in the name of someone already on the ballot? No matter how you look at it, Moore lost and even if he pays for the recount as an automatic one, triggered by a .5% difference which is impossible, the end results will be the same, as echoed by the Alabama Secretary of State. Yet, Moore even today is refusing to concede. If he thinks God is going to intervene, he already did and gave us a miracle of Jones winning in Alabama. I don't how much clearer a sign you need that God abandoned you and is now wearing "I am with her" T-shirt. It's over. Go home. So fuck you Roy Moore because you are indeed douchebag of the week.
