Roy Moore and What's Really Going On in 2017

"In this matter, I am as one with Brother Charlie Pierce.

I’m Out of Empathy. I’m Out of Pity. I’m Out of Patience.

"Roy Moore is a lawless theocratic lunatic, and those who support him are destroying our democracy.

...
Any report about Roy Moore that doesn’t specifically refer to him as a right-wing extremist is not worth your time. No more “firebrand.” No more impotent yap about his “controversial views.” Roy Moore is an extremist or the word no longer has meaning. If, as appears likely, he gets elected to the Senate from Alabama, then a majority of Alabama voters are extremists, too. If he gets elected, then the Republican Party ever more should be referred to as an extremist party. That, of course, is if we’re being honest about what’s really going on in this country in 2017.
But of course we're not being honest about what's really going on in 2017, are we? In fact, it would be fair to say that our corporate news media now devotes a significant fraction of the enormous resources at its command to making god damn certain that we never talk about what's really going on in 2017 -- that, as I have mentioned once or twice before, the GOP is a machine built to destroy the federal government and eliminate taxes for the wealthy, and all else is mere commentary.

Which is exactly how a once-great nation ends up with a lying, racist, pig-ignorant Republican madman in the White House.

A lawless theocratic Republican lunatic well on his way to the World's Greatest Deliberative Body."
