If/when Moore wins tomorrow, this whole act moves to Washington D.C. and every Republican Senator gets to be asked about Moore as they move through the hallways.

Not too bad for a worst-case scenario.

At this point I'm just hoping it turns some of the people who are getting fed up away from voting a straight (R) ticket. I know too many who would follow Trump & Co into the depths of hell (and are trying to) but a fair amount of people are getting sick of this nonsense. Hopefully enough.

I have a security guard that signs and holds packages until I can get them.

Checked the fraud dept. my dad’s account got hacked. One package going to Pennsylvania and the other to my address. Both made by his account. He denies making them so I am inclined to believe him. Especially after seeing the shipping address.

I too highly highly reccomend Divabot's book, amazing that it's already become outdated with further comedy of errors but the basic sitation is that everything that went down with Magic The Gathering: Online Exchange four years ago is being repeated at bitfinex but at 100x the scale.

Also the "bitcoin futures" coming online now at real reputable commodities exchanges are a whole other basket of insanity. No actual exchange of bitcoin takes place with those, it is literally the betting on betting on Selena Gomez's betting from that Big Short clip.

A group of Alabama voting rights activists have secured a temporary restraining order to stop digital election records being destroyed after Tuesday’s highly contentious Senate special election between Doug Jones (D) and Roy Moore (R). The preliminary injunction, issued by a Montgomery circuit court judge, orders all Alabama counties to save all digital copies of ballots that are created when vote counting machines scan paper ballots.


Just lol at destroying any data in this day and age.

I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".
The Alabama state court overturned the stay so they are back to destroying all originals and only keeping a digital image I think. I am unsure as to how records are kept as those machines will erase data when they are turned off at the end right?

Edit: The stay was stayed

December Current Events: Accidentally met child prostitutes at a brothel.

It was in Saigon during the middle of the Vietnam War. I'd say it would have been hard to find a brothel that didn't have underage prostitutes in it.

That brothel story is pretty weird. It's basically "Oops, we ended up at a brothel due to some unnamed third party. Some of the girls were very pretty and very young! [NOT HELPING] Anyway, Roy Moore and I decided this was hosed up, so we left and let the other guy sex-party all night."

How does Roy Moore keep gettin' more fuckin' weird, the more we know about him and see of him? Used to just think he was a self-aggrandizing evangelical crank who also liked loving teen girls.

But this poo poo has layers of weird:

I don't think that tweeter knows what "fluently" means. It's really not that surprising that someone who went to west point during the cold war learned how to say hello in russian. Or is he a manchurian candidate?

I don’t really care that he can say “what up” in Russian but what a weird choice to praise Putin then drop that line.

Yeah, the video is deceptively edited. This was reported two days ago as just "hello, how are you" in Russian, immediately followed by an explanation that he had taken Russian classes at West Point. If the guy wasn't a kiddie-fiddling, Bible-thumping white supremacist, I'd call it a clever answer, not RUSSIANS INVADING ALABAMA
