Stars fell on Alabama last night when voters there elected Democrat Doug Jones over alleged pedophile and racist homophobe Roy Moore to fill Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ vacant Senate seat. It was a tight race, but Jones managed to squeak out a win thanks, in very large part, to African American voters.

Moore, who Donald Trump fully endorsed and even recorded a robocall for, is being stubborn and has yet to actually concede the election, even though he clearly lost. The alleged sexual predator is refusing to take no for an answer. Go figure.

Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Now, we don’t usually take glee in other people’s failures… except in the case of racist homophobic (alleged) pedophiles who long for the days of slavery.

Congrats to Doug Jones, and the Alabamans who voted for him! Some of these memes, like the raven saying “Never Moore” are smart and funny. I hope Democrats and liberals commentators don’t gloat, though, and instead get ready to run candidates all over the US in 2018.

At a Roy Moore campaign event in Midland City, Alabama, on Monday, a father made a heartfelt plea on behalf of his deceased gay daughter: Don’t vote for Moore.

Good comment.

Hey @leobaga, you dismissed the Democratic victories in Virginia and New Jersey because those states voted for Hillary.
So, what’s your excuse this time for a state that voted for Trump?
leobaga
Moore is a true homophobe. In this age, homophobes don’t win elections. Good riddance. #MAGA
Trump was right for supporting Strange instead of him. Moore can’t win.

@leobaga, Mike Pence is a raving homophobe. Look it up. He won. So are a number of your GOP faves. Trump actively supported Moore, even robocalling for him at the last minute. That rotten egg is still drying on his face and tiny hands.
leobaga
@Kangol. Don’t be an idiot. Pence didn’t win. Trump did.
Trump supported Moore but he still lost because Moore’s a raging homophobe and bigot. He’s a flawed candidate. You honestly believe Alabama will turn blue in 2020? Hahaha. Fool.

Alabamans will lose their insurance, have their unions go bust with Friedrich v. California teachers, and have taxes raised to pay for the one percenters all thanks to the GOP. They’re so evil that they use LGBT as a wedge issue to scrape together enough people who need a pariah to point at, someone lower than they, to feel less unworthy. The majority of Alabamans are not falling for the bogus spiel (this time) exceptions included, such as you, beating a dead horse named “Sassy.” (Sassy is the name of a teen girl magazine.) “Hey, there, lonely girl, lonely girl.

Welcome to the 20th century, Alabama. Now let’s work on getting you into the 21st. I’m sure the Republican response will be that more voter suppression is needed in the blue counties.
leobaga
Next election Dems will pay women again to say they were molested by republicans 50 years ago. The russia hoax no longer works. Sadly for dems, Alabama will always remain a red state. Moore is a flawed candidate, is all.

You have the same speaking cadence as Trump, Leobaga. “L”- Let’s “E”- Elect- O______? “B”______? “A” America “G” -great “A”-again. I might have to sleep on this one, sort of how the NYT’s crosswords are obvious the next day. You’re so creepy, Leobaga. Trump-y kind of Creepy. John Barron kind of creepy. Grand Wizard will be relegated to the dark side and, lo, his minions will follow. Back to the garage now, a project that, thankfully, doesn’t include you.
Mick406
leobaga – You are right. This election was only about ultra-lib politics, and they used a fabricated sex scandal to destroy Moore. The ‘molestation’ charges are all ALLEGED. Of course, that is what cost him the election. Guilty before evidence presented. Queerty, I disagree vehemently with your “we” are all excited about his loss. Don’t count me in your ‘we’ group.
You had better hope the Republicans keep the majority. Since Trump was elected, how many riots, destruction and chaos have you seen in the big cities? How is your stock portfolio doing, with it going up every day? Did you take advantage of all the jobs being created? The economy is alive and vibrant. Peace and prosperity is finally coming to America again, as opposed to the destruction and race-baiting Obama and the liberal Dems did to this country.
aaparker
Mick406, that is really the most uniformed and inane drivel I’ve seen online in awhile. I don’t know which is worse-that you actually believe what you just wrote or you know it’s at best a complete distortion of the truth and you write it anyway.

Hey, Mick, Putin must have paid you extra for writing such manure in the light of a humiliating defeat.
OzJosh
I guess you Americans need to celebrate your victories where you find them these days. But I would have thought a creep like Roy Moore losing by only a narrow margin was still cause for concern. If there are enough voters who can watch Donald Trump in action and still vote for someone like Moore you’re all in deep, deep trouble.
DarkZephyr
@OzJosh, oh I agree. Its pathetic that nearly half of Alabama wanted a child raping pedophile in office so long as he was anti-LGBT and r*cist. Another disgusting aspect is that the vast majority of white Alabamans voted for Roy Moore. We have black Alabamans to thank for this victory of basic human decency.
ryuichi
I love the memes. I could not compose anything better. Of course it is wonderful that Moore lost the election, but I am disturbed that anyone would vote for him. There are lots of idiotic, religiously addicted/infected, bigoted, angry, paranoid people in this country.
DarkZephyr
@leobaga Are you serious? Trump officially endorsed Roy Moore!

Yes he did. But Moore was not his preferred candidate, Strange was.

What a merry band of thieves awaiting Trump when he gets pardoned by Paul Ryan. The disgraced bigot Joe Arp-i-a-i-a-0, the debased Steve Banal, the laughed-at-Roy-Moore, and the rest may join the Grand Wizard in the bowels of some overly ecru colored hotel with unflattering lighting and pudgy white men with buttons threatening to burst. As soon as Grand Wizard’s psychotic signature is on this hastily hewn RepublicanLeadTaxScamBill, impeachment proceedings will commence. Maybe they’ll all ride horses after this fiasco, unified by their vision of a white, straight, and very merry CHRISTmas. Giddy-up, Sassy, Sully, Lumbago, and Woe, we’ve got to sew more seeds o’ hate before the day is long. MAHA!

Did you see Ted Crockett, Roy Moore’s spokesperson, on Jake Tapper? I mean, my goodness, that was some aggressive stupidity on display to the point where I was actually debating on if I was seeing through some biased lens. But, that man actually thought you had to swear on a bible to hold office in America.
1EqualityUSA
I saw it. –I thought a fly was going to go into his gaping mouth. If this is “supremacy,” we’re in trouble. Here’s Jake Tapper slapping his guest’s head until it bleeds (with words) and then the dip is rendered speechless.
