President Donald Trump’s decision Saturday to intervene in the Alabama special election followed weeks of pleas from senior Republicans who fear that a loss will invite a wave of primary challenges against GOP incumbents and damage the party in the 2018 midterms.
The national party had mounted a full-court press ahead of the Sept. 26 election to persuade the president to make a late visit to the state, where controversial former judge Roy Moore has opened a significant lead over incumbent Sen. Luther Strange.
Trump remains popular in Alabama even as his support has diminished elsewhere.Trump endorsed Strange before the first round of voting on Aug. 15. But with polls showing the race slipping away, the president for weeks refused to commit to holding a campaign-style rally for Strange. On Saturday, though, Trump announced on Twitter that he would travel to the state just days before voters cast their ballots.
“I will be in Huntsville, Alabama on Saturday night to support Luther Strange for Senate. ‘Big Luther’ is a great guy who gets things done!” Trump wrote.
Well this is interesting because Trump's former adviser, Steve Bannon, is a vocal supporter of Roy Moore and as we reported earlier Sarah Palin is supposed to arrive there next week to offer her support as well.I will be in Huntsville, Alabama, on Saturday night to support Luther Strange for Senate. "Big Luther" is a great guy who gets things done!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 16, 2017
That puts Palin on a collision course with the man she endorsed very early in the election cycle, and who she has been pimping ever since.
Oh this ought to be good.
This would be like trying to choose between diarrhea and puke.
ReplyDeleteMore like having both at the same time.
DeleteShe'd still blow him if he asked.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they are both meeting their drug dealers there.
Moore has had a double-digit lead over Strange for quite some time in the polls, but Screechy has to try to get some attention somehow, so she's going to AL to stump for Moore. Leave it to Screechy to support the guy who suggested that 9/11 was punishment from God because the U.S. "legitimizes sodomy and abortion". Talk about another weirdo!
ReplyDelete....and she'd know all about that, wouldn't she, from personal experience.
DeleteYeah you can tell she is so set on erasing bad people in DC that her research isn't too thorough. Though she's made good choices for candidates in the past.
DeleteName one, 1:03 PM.
DeleteOh my God, it's a Stupidpalooza!
ReplyDeleteSomebody must film it!
So he'll not be playing golf next weekend? Saving us money? Maybe he and Porn Model will make yet another motivating appearance in a flooded area. Surely his cap designers have come up with a new design to hawk "TRUMP: Make Myself Great."
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the stilletos.
DeleteWe've just had damage from two major hurricanes and Trump has nothing better to do than go campaign for some guy running for senator?
ReplyDeleteDoes Trump own a golf course in Alabama?
Not yet!! He will do anything, rather than stay in the WH and WORK.Plus, he will get to see his BFF Bannon down there.
DeleteDonald Trump gives away that a major Trump-Russia bombshell is about to land
ReplyDelete...While he clearly enjoys this kind of idiotic and inappropriate behavior in general, he tends to save his biggest Twitter meltdowns for when he’s hoping to create headlines that might distract the public from the real story.
http://www.palmerreport.com/opinion/gives-away-bombshell-trump/4975/
the real story is coming. we must be patient. its' like an onion-many layers to peal off before you reach the core.
DeleteIt's all about these two. They think so much of themselves. Will be interesting if they had to square off in a competition. Donald would play nastier, I think. Although she'd give it her all.
ReplyDeletesarah isn't so nasty(yes, she can be) as extremely clueless. she still thinks she has a base and can't believe she not getting any more free rides.
DeleteI wonder if Bannon paid her fare? He was promoting HER for president, before tRump came along. Remember the movie "Undefeated"?? Since she only publishes old photos, I wonder how she is looking these days>
DeleteLike ten miles of bad road. (Love that expression)
DeleteSarah Palin? Give me a friggin' break! She has no input anywhere throughout the country.
ReplyDeleteWhat an idiot! Thinking she'll have input - what an ego! She and Trump are so much alike and detested everywhere!
THinking the same thing - what state fair was it she showed up at with a HUUUGE security entourage and like no one even noticed her, except some high school age bimbo whose mother put her up to asking for $carah's autograph?
Deletethere is one difference between them-sarah is not a pussygrabber.
DeleteSarah enjoys having her pussy grabbed.
DeleteSarah is HOPING to have hers grabbed!!
DeleteHow Trump Kills the G.O.P.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/29/opinion/trump-identity-politics.html?_r=0
Sarah must think she will "sill the dill" for HER candidate. Wonder who is paying her way there - Bannon?
ReplyDeleteYup! Bannon is trying to figure out how to get back at The Rump for the firing.
Delete$arah. Always trying to jump on somebody else's bandwagon, 'cause $he doesn't have one of her own.
ReplyDeleteGeorgiaPeach
Sarah, bless her heart, thinks people care about her opinions. She's delusional.
ReplyDeletelooks like Sarah isn't in love with the orange man-child anymore. hey, she can think!!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't mean she can think. It just means she hates being rebuffed by a bigger a$$hole with more money and fame than she'll ever see.
DeleteShe's running back to prez bannon cause he 'liked' her way back when and maybe she can get him to put her in another one of his mental-porn flicks.
The gop is in charge, but every now and then I like to sit back and watch them eat their own.
ReplyDeleteAnd HER candidate is already predicted to win, so it's quite odd that she's going to AL. Maybe Toddles wants her out of Wasilla for a few days so that he can be free to do "his thing". (wink, wink)
ReplyDeleteTodd has wings and spends a whole lot of time OUT of Wasilla "doing his thing". He is polite and never does it right under her nose but he does have a life of his own and part of that is paying her back for some "paternity" questions that he's had about 3 of the 4 actual Palin kids. Willow is his favorite, probably because she's the only one that he truly knows is his.
DeleteThat bitch will be paying for her indiscretions for the rest of her life, he makes sure, which makes me smile.
Baby needs attention.
Delete3:29 PM is that why Todd Palin got his ass kicked in last March? Someone's husband taught him a lesson?
DeleteFuck Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteRight Glenn Rice?
She has been, and will continue to be, nothing more than Bannon's puppet. She still owes him for making that rediculous movie about her. What was it, oh right that box office smash, The Undefeated. bwahaha ha. Dumb asses.
ReplyDeleteExcellent description of the snow grifter, Anon- she has been.
DeleteOh shit, trump messed uo
ReplyDeleteTrump golf ball tweet should earn unanimous rebuke from congressional women
....Many of us served alongside Clinton in the Senate. We are proud of her service as Secretary of State. She is an American citizen. We are duty-bound to represent and serve her. An attack on her is an attack on us.
Additionally, we refuse to sit in silence while the president of the United States makes light of violence against women. The World Health Organization estimates 1 in 3 women worldwide experiences physical and/or sexual violence in her lifetime. Domestic violence costs the United States an estimated $8.3 billion in expenses annually.
We will work with the president to decrease those numbers, but we will absolutely not endorse his vengeful musings against a fellow woman and fellow American. We will not, in fact, work with him at all until he apologizes for retweeting such garbage and disavows himself from the people who created it.
He knows where to find us.
Sincerely,
The women serving in the United States Congress....

Seems like every time he lets loose with a bunch of Twitter bombs, he's just gotten some very bad news from Mueller's latest investigations. Kinda a litmus test for just how screwed he's afraid he is.

She sure is looking haggard lately. Her evil shows as much on the outside as inside.
ReplyDeleteChristian is the LAST thing I think when I see either of them. They are the furthest thing from it.
DeleteNO DACA DEAL

He probably did but can anyone believe a word? He lies. He is a liar. He will lie right to your face or behind your back. It is what he does. He also enjoys playing games.
DeleteHe lies and too few ever call him out. Our press let that lying dickhead lie his way through the campaign and beyond.
He has lied his way through life. I guess one can get away with that when surrounded by well paid ass kissers and ego petters.
What, this surprises you?
DeleteWhy isn't some kind of Cage Fight we can all watch & enjoy: Orangino vs. The Witch!
ReplyDeleteAny other suggestions how we can, for once, benefit from this stupidity?
It'll be a showdown between two complete morons with a creepily smart Lucifer acting as a moderator.
ReplyDeleteYes! Alec Baldwin won the Emmy!
ReplyDeleteBannon is supporting Moore. That's is why Palin is supporting him. Palin's support for Trump was always really about advancing Bannon's batshit agenda.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit like having to choose between getting typhoid or cholera.
ReplyDeleteLet's just call this The Battle Of the Morons! Both are filled with HATE, neither has one iota of compassion and both are NUTS!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourselves, Alabama voters.
"With the Alabama Republican Senate primary election looming, former Trump White House aide Sebastian Gorka and former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin will be teaming up to help rally support for controversial GOP candidate Roy Moore."

"News that both Palin and Gorka would be headlining a rally for such a candidate sent shockwaves of both laughter and horror throughout the internet, as one Twitter user described their alliance as “lice teaming up with crabs.”"
