And before someone decides to NCAAsplain "Roll Tide" to me, yes, it is clearly a bit of a nonsequitur, but we in Alabama understand what it means here.
As a life long college football fan and U of Alabama hater, I can't believe I'm saying this... but just this once...
ROLL TIDE!

Anyways I would like to say Congratulations Alabama! your efforts have helped ensure that any damage done by Trump can be limited in the future.

Know who doesn't? White lives in Waco. Right Bill?
? You are seriously wacked. You don't see the difference between the two situations? Why don't you put the blame on Waco where it belongs... on a crazy white man named David.

Lol. I see a Repubublican revolt against Trump coming very soon.
I think Republicans will lose seats in 2018. I also think Trump may not win re-election in 2020.
He can't run after he's impeached.

I believe lots of democrats recognize this, which is why immigration is such a hot-button issue. Liberals won't even admit that the attempted bombing in NYC was due to their own policies, even when the guy was found still wired and screaming why he did it.

If black voters had not gotten out in great numbers and funded their own efforts to get on the ground and ensure African-American voters got registered and were not deterred at the polls then Roy Moore would be celebrating today. This victory for Doug Jones speaks volumes of why it is so important for white people to not simply shrug their shoulders and say, “Meh” about issues like gerrymandering and police intimidation at polling stations and insufficient equipment and staffing causing long lines at polling stations and biased voter ID laws...white people cannot afford to tolerate the existence of these forms of systemic racism that inhibit African-Americans from exercising their Constitutional right because voter suppression affects white folks too. Had the Black Belt in Alabama been suppressed like they usually are, had black grassroots organizations not put forth the energy and effort to make sure black voices were heard this Alabama Senate race would have had an entirely different outcome.

Voter ID isn’t voter suppression. If there is voter suppression, it needs to be quelled immediately. I didn’t hear anyone complaining about the purged Brooklyn voters in last year’s primary but, that was Hillary v Bernie. And F Bernie amirite????
Ok...but what about closing the offices in predominantly minority districts where these ID's are obtained - which is what happened in AL? See...here is the rub. If you want to require a voter ID, then you need to make damn sure that everyone who needs one can get one EASILY. Requiring the ID and then putting up hurdles to getting them is prima facie voter suppression.
This.
I was just going to link to a single article, but this whole thread talks about the GOP shenanigans, Alabama edition. https://mobile.twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/940510156894425089 It's a lie, a flat lie, to say that "voter ID isn't suppression" when the people responsible for it SAY IT IS and then add additional hurdles to getting an ID!
I'm good with that but it needs to be managed properly. No problem with American citizens getting easily obtained voter IDs ONLY. Too many non-citizens have been voting.
