A month later....

We have just illuminated the Sins of our nation.

I am a month late but I think about these things.

Shelby Foote who is one of my favorite historians noted that if he were put back into those 'olden days'; well

he would fight for Mississippi?

I get so goddamn mad.

There is no right or wrong?

There is just....

WHAT?

This is where there lies chaos? Or fake news?

THERE IS NO TRUTH, JUST EXISTENCE?

In a few days we will see a man with an 11 year old mind give us the STATE OF THE UNION?

Should we present a live chat on this subject.

You tell me.

I got two days?

Per 538, five months hovering

Per 538, five months hovering at 37% approval - slightly up now from a week ago. This is a blended weighted poll measure. I hear about Trump's popularity failing, but here's a group I largely trust that doesn't show it moving despite all the legislative outrages, the indictments & Mueller/Russia revelations, the Harvey Weinstein initiated #MeToo movement, the Roy Moore and Jerusalem fiascos, etc. etc. I'm concerned that *this is* the Trump trough, that the deplorables base really is that strong.

In reply to He cheats at golf too. Big

He's golfing now but spent the morning like this. Even cheats at the Merry Christmas thing, he's less merry than Ebenezer Scrooge before the visitations:

A Twitter Tirade on Christmas Eve

The president spent Sunday morning at Mar-a-Lago, watching Fox News and giving voice to his resentments.

@ The Atlantic.

The article also has analysis of recent polling of approval. I.E. things looking pretty bleak for him. And that's without them mentioning something I've seen many other places: even many diehard fans despair about his angry tweeting.

He cheats at golf too. Big

Alternate reality history:

Remember, the Republicans are 5-0 in Congressional races this year. In Senate, I said Roy M would lose in Alabama and supported Big Luther Strange - and Roy lost. Virginia candidate was not a “Trumper,” and he lost. Good Republican candidates will win BIG!

Flower I missed this.

Sometimes the gooooooooooooood folks win.

The goooooooooood folks try harder.

And a miracle ensues.

DAMN STRAIGHT.

As they say sometimes.

I never saw this comin' as they say in the South.

This song, as you well know is one of my favorites.

It has naughty parts as it were.

But damn; I still think that this song presaged a future where Black Women would no longer be subjected to some nomen as 'bitches'. So I play it thusly:

This is probably toooo toooo

This is probably toooo toooo late but

I began this live chat with Sweet Heart Alabama.

But damn, I forgot how this should end, and it looks like it ends here.

Yesterday at 3:21am ·

Last night
In Alabama
Black women did
What black women have done
Since we were brought here
Against our will
Enslaved
And then for hundreds of years
Were Brutalized by this country

We saved y’all asses

Last night in Alabama
Although 63 percent of white women voters
Cast a ballot for
A child molester
A bigot
Who has a lawyer who is
“A Jew”
Black Women filled the ballot boxes
With common sense
And dignity
Black hands
Saved the state

There was a great coalition in Alabama, but the real stars were the black women. There are some who discuss how important white women were in Jones’ victory, but the truth is that if you lined up all the white women who voted for Doug Jones in one line and the black women who voted for Jones in another line, there would be over 82K black women with no white women standing across from them.

https://www.theroot.com/nah-white-women-you-cant-have-this-one-1821299583

I point this out because black women are often not given credit for what they have done. They were superstars. They gave the same support to Hillary in 2016 and to Northam in Virginia earlier this year. Black women vote to save the nation.

Edit to add:

About 80% of white Evangelicals voted for Roy Moore versus 18% for Doug Jones.

Over 95% of black Evangelicals voted for Doug Jones, a good comparison with the 98% of non-Evangelical blacks who voted for Doug Jones
