In Virginia, Bob Marshal, the anti LBGTQ republican who wrote the states horrible bathroom bill against trans people, self described as the homophobe in chief, has been defeated in his re-election bid by Danica Roem, a Trans MTF, in the state’s election this week. How sweet it is to see justice arrive in its glorious poetic fashion. Bye bye Bob, see if Trump will hire you for some job that needs another hatemonger in his cabinet. Roem, for her part, refused to attack, belittle or even be condescending to Marshal, saying he was now one of the citizens she represents and she will do so for all the people in her district to the best of her ability.
In other news, Roy Moore, running for Senate in Alabama, has been accused of being a pedophile. Him and Milo can chat? Kevin Spacey is accused of hitting on a 14 year old boy, who was out at a late night party but no more than that. Roy is accused of sexual touching and ejaculation. Spacey is disgraced, losing his reputation; his hit TV series and is publicly shunned by the media and Hollywood, as he should be for his actions. Milo Yiannopoulos, for seemingly to support such behavior, lost his job as an editor. Lost his book deal, speaking tours and finally, even Robert Mercer could not handle the stench around him. But again, at no point has anyone accused either Spacey or Yiannopoulos of doing the “deed.” Roy Moore? Did and done as it were. GOP State Rep. Ed Henry calls for “legal action should be taken against the women who accused Roy Moore of sexual misconduct with a minor… “If they believe this man is predatory, they are guilty of allowing him to exist for 40 years,” Henry said. “I think someone should prosecute and go after them. You can’t be a victim 40 years later, in my opinion.” (The Hill) Moore a bible thumping, Holier than thou, type hypercritic has called the report “fake news” and is ignore any and all calls for his resignation from the election.
So the tally for the Grand Old Party is: Tiki Torch Neo Nazis, not all bad. Racists, well some are good people, Steve Bannon, Roy Moore, numerous traitors like Trump et family, Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn along with his son, John Kelly, Sean Spicer and Sarah Huckabee Sanders. And the list grows longer every day. The alt right is big on the bible, “What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your riches?” Isaiah 10:3
Judgement day is coming and soon: first, by the courts then for the rest, not indicted, at the ballot box. How many more people must the Republicans scrap the bottom of the barrel to find before they start to think about what they are doing and for whom they lend support. Can they not find a man or a woman who is not a traitor? Racist? Pedophile? They stopped being options, and now are features.
Wake up people. You would not elect a pedophile as dog catcher. Don’t elect one as Senator.
