Today's WTF
Dan Avery, NewNowNext:
MassResistance is an anti-gay hate group that opposes marriage equality and anti-bullying programs as attempts to “normalize homosexuality.” Members even attacked Governor Mitt Romney as being too soft on LGBT rights.
So it’s a little surprising the group’s Texas chapter opened its teen summit with… this.
That is possibly the best combination of Coming Out and Fuck-You-Trolling ever.

A poem
White man is a pedophile— Chris (@goingglocal) November 21, 2017
Defend him
Black man doesn't say "thank you" to Trump
Condemn him
White people have a disaster in Texas
Help them
Puerto Ricans without electricity
Ignore them
White rich men want a tax cut
Oblige
Black Haitians need help
Evict
But Trump's not racist
Not Just Yet
I think it has to be obvious to most of us that there's a substantial chunk of the deep south that's still pretty fucked up in the head.
But once in a while we see that faint glimmer of hope.
Patricia Murphy, Daily Beast:
B.L. Shirley is a Republican woman from a Republican county who always—always—votes Republican. And yet, on a windy, grey morning last weekend, the Talladega, Alabama, retiree found herself in, of all places, a Democrat’s campaign office, wondering just what she could do to defeat the GOP candidate running for a seat in the U.S. Senate from her state.
“Roy Moore,” she said, when asked why she would go canvassing for Democrat Doug Jones before the special election on Dec. 12. “I think Roy Moore is an impostor. I am a Christian and I don’t want to be counted in his camp. He’s a divisive person.”
Things change when we change. And they change for the better or for the worse according to how we change ourselves.

Today's Both Sides
Max Greenwood, The Hill:
The Republican National Committee (RNC) and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) will not support GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore in Alabama's special election, even after President Trump stood by him on Tuesday.
Officials with the RNC and the NRSC, the party's Senate campaign arm, told The Associated Press they have no intention of reconsidering their decision to pull support for Moore, who has been accused of pursuing sexual and romantic relationships with teenage girls while he was in his 30s.
The two GOP committees severed ties with the candidate earlier this month, ending their financial and field support for his campaign. Dozens of Republican officials have called on Moore in recent days to withdraw his Senate bid.
Think about it for just a short minute: Al Franken gets slagged and the Dems are on him like he's moldy bread. But Trumpublicans had to have a meeting to decide where they stood on Pedophilia.
What was the holdup?
I remember when "conservatives" were saying a Democrat couldn't order pizza without running it by a focus group.
Yeah - and again: Trumpulicans had to huddle up and be told that pedophilia is something they should probably not support.
PEDOPHILIA...
...for fuck's sake.

Today's Podcast
Preet Bharara's podcast - with Jeff Flake:
Flake seems like a decent and at least marginally reasonable guy, but don't mistake him for any kinda hero.
The issue of guns comes up at about 34:00, and Bharara asks him about Congress Critters voting with the NRA every time because they're afraid of what the Ammosexuals will do if they don't vote that way. Flake runs as fast as possible to the False Equivalence of a Both-Sides response, saying there're plenty of instances of members "on the left" being influenced by big money donors blah blah blah.
I think about that for a short minute and I'm left with the notion that Flake is saying it's OK for him to trade dead kids for the safety of a continued stream of campaign donations and the near-guarantee of no primary challenges.
In a very real sense, he admitted his vote against gun control is - and has always been - for sale.
