Who will win the Alabama Senate special election?

[Trebuchet]

Epstein and Trump went to a party where Trump, allegedly, raped a 13-year old girl.

I haven't exactly followed the case closely, but last I heard the allegations had been disproven. I think there's enough to legitimately criticise Trump for - including sexual assault and rape - without having to rely on a story like that one.

On the other hand, it's quite clear that he knew Epstein was into underage girls and it doesn't look like he had a problem with that, given that he's spoken admiringly to the press before about his friend Epstein and how he "likes them young", whereas even the right-wing press reported that Clinton (which is why I assume Epstein has been raised as a spectre of the left's) seemed to sever ties with Epstein very abruptly and speculated that it might have been because he found out about the underage girls.

So, if this absolutely has to be weaponised, then I'm not sure it does the most damage to the left, as logger was no doubt intending.

Not proven or disproven, but the suit was filed and dropped twice. It probably isn't possible to prove it one way or the other.

I know it's The Daily Mail, and I know it's "a source", but there is at least one story alleging the evidence didn't add up.

But that snopes article does have a link to what I was thinking about:

And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. "I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,'' Trump booms from a speakerphone. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

So Trump knows that he likes to have sex with people "on the younger side", and describes Epstein as a "terrific guy". I don't think logger really thought it through before bringing him up.

Could that Daily Fail article possibly be any more vague?

One of the reasons I linked it, actually.

I am going to five Fox News the benefit of the doubt... even though it pains me to do so. First, their polls are conducted by two independent groups. Secondly their poll included cell phone numbers, which it seems few if any of the others did, which could explain why they have wildly different results (the younger someone is the less likely they are to have a landline).

Who are Fox 5? I see polls by Fox10 and Fox6. The "Fox News" poll they are showing is not the local news stations; it's the national. And they may be using a more reputable polling firm than the local Fox affiliates, who are using something called "Strategy Research" who if they are a polling firm have a distinctly low profile as I cannot find them anywhere.

Context clues and letter placement on the keyboard leads me to believe that "I'm going to five Fox News the benefit of the doubt" is a typo and it should be " I'm going to give Fox News the benefit of the doubt"

The long range plan is to oust Trump, consolidate power under Grand Inquisitor Pence, and then institute Biblical Law.

Then the deeply wronged and aggrieved Alabama Ayahtollah will be able to legally buy as many 14 year old girls as he can afford from their impoverished parents.

But the Moore-atollah will have to choose his investments wisely. Biblical Law, in all it's justice and wisdom, will not allow him to demand a refund from the parents if he decides to turn a girl out into the street.

Says right there in Exodus 21, 1-11

This sadly is the reality the left lives in. I hope we can get it done!

 

[logger]

And while your side is finding additional young girls for Roy to date, find a couple for Trump as well. But make sure that the girls for Trump girls look like his daughter so that he will be extra pu**y grabbing happy with them.

Is he headed for West Virginia?

6 years before Epstein was charged. But once again it is much more of a problem with your side. Notice you forgot what Clinton actually did with Epstein. If Trump thought of him as an acquaintance, Clinton surely thought of him as a good friend. It’s obvious Epstein fed Clinton in the Way slick Willy likes.

The Alabama Ayahtollah is the reality the right lives in. He represents their voter base to a very sad extent.

Remember how the Georgia special elections records and their backups were completely destroyed ahead of schedule despite a Lawsuit asking for those records.

Well a circuit judge in Alabama ordered the records for their election today to be preserved.

So of course the Alabama Supreme Court then blocked that order. I mean who wants legitimate verifiable elections right?

Can we kick Alabama out of the union and replace it with Puerto Rico? I'll take destroyed infrastructure over destroyed integrity.

I see why a supreme Court would be making a reasonable decision by staying the order.

Is anyone here from Alabama?

Isn't electricity a requirement for Internet use?

That is Puerto Rico.

Here and here.

Alabama is allowed to destroy digital voting records created at the polls during today's U.S. Senate election after all.

At 1:36 p.m. Monday, a Montgomery County Circuit Court judge issued an order directing Alabama election officials to preserve all digital ballot images created at polling places across the state today.

But at 4:32 p.m. Monday, attorneys for Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill and Ed Packard, the state administrator of elections, filed an "emergency motion to stay" that order, which the state Supreme Court granted minutes after Merrill and Packard's motion was filed.

By granting the stay, the court effectively told the state that it does not in fact have to preserve the digital ballot images - essentially digitized versions of the paper ballots voters fill out at the voting booth - created today.

I'm surprised it took as long as three hours.

Do you disagree with the decision? If so, why?

Well, I live in Ali-bama (since 1997) and have voted this morning (for Jones and to keep/renew the school tax levies already in place). Seemed to be pretty busy, not a mob but a very steady progression of voters. Who it benefits remains to be seen.

As to the run-up, Jones spent considerable bucks on commercials and phone calls, and I was called by two different polling agencies over the past two weeks. Moore has done little except appear in various churches, not much on TV or any other get out the vote activities. He appears to think his core is going to be enough. We shall see.

Moore's reticence to make appearances prior to election was brilliant and surely not his idea. The more he talks, the more likely he screws up. The same was true of Trump, but it never hurt him. It might have hurt Moore, who was already known to his base.

Good luck, sir. I wouldn't want him representing me.

Why would anyone (who is playing on the level) want to destroy the digital paper trail of an election?
