You can't make this shit up.

[sheshe2]

Roy Moore is refusing to concede. Trump repeatedly said that, if he lost, he’d refuse to concede. 2 sexual predators proving they can’t accept no for an answer, regardless of the circumstances. Meanwhile, people are telling Hillary to go away. -OhNoSheTwint

1. Did you know that in this year of winning big

the republican party has spent $10 million on tubs of butthurt cream? Now why is that do you suppose?

Dems in 2017 =

Rethugs in 2017 =

[sheshe2]

2. I think they may need to restock for 2018.

[Bleacher Creature]

3. Not just to "go away," but to "take up knitting."

Hillary has more competence and integrity in her little finger than those two oafs have combined, and yet this is how she's treated.

This can't be normalized, ever.

[sheshe2]

4. +1000

Thanks.

[WhiteTara]

24. I'm glad the NYT stood up for her. I'm thinking of

cancelling my Vanity Fair subscription and telling them their misogyny turned me off.

[madinmaryland]

29. Knitting is a too high of an honor for Moore. He should be spending time in prison twiddling

with his own genitalia.

[lapucelle]

33. The fact that one of the VF hipsters

suggested that HRC "take up charity work" underscores how clueless they are about her record.

[dhol82]

34. I am guessing that they forgot to add the sarcasm thingy.

[Volaris]

5. He can refuse to admit that the sky is blue and it doesn't change what is...

Yes he's being an ass. Since this is expected, why do any of us care what he thinks?

[n2doc]

6. He is irrelevant

People need to ignore him, his proxies, and any mention of him. He is a failure, yesterday's news.

[Miigwech]

7. God's will that he lost

... accept the decision Roy boy, now go away and rot

[sprinkleeninow]

27. Yes. Go away ol' roy an' pound sand!

[Tarheel_Dem]

8. Ain't that some shzzznit?

Rest assured Roy Moore won't be the Senator from AL, and the woman who got millions more votes than her challengers will never go away, nor should she. Bank on it!

[sheshe2]

31. Oh...I've banked on Hill being around...

for a long long time!

Roy....

[Cha]

9. No you can't, she.. we're living our

worst nightmare that we knew would be coming on Election night. We knew who they are.

Mahalo

[sheshe2]

14. We knew, Cha.

[FSogol]

10. Conceding an election is merely a politeness. There is no requirment for Pedo Moore to concede.

Jones will become the Senator from AL despite Moore's antics.

[sheshe2]

12. He filed a lawsuit...voter fraud.

To many black people showed up at the polls. The suit was struck down.

[FSogol]

16. Yup and the board certified Jones as the winner. He'll be sworn in Jan 3. n/t

[NastyRiffraff]

48. And he said all those amendments after the 10th

should go away. You know, like:

The 13th: Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

The 14th: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The 15th: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude--

The 19th: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

In other words, all those pesky blacks shouldn't have been allowed to vote. Women either.

[sheshe2]

49. Moore, like Sessions and tRump...

Believe only white men should vote.

Fugg 'em NR.

Thank you!

[Eliot Rosewater]

52. And that is the whole point here. People Moore and Trump and the deplorables despise,

i.e. ALL non whites, are voting and that aint the way they want it here in Murika.

And if we dont mobilize big time, that will be the result.

[sheshe2]

53. You are correct.

I will add that that don't want any woman to have the vote either.

[Cha]

17. Yeah, judge roy got

shut down by the judicial system in Alabama.

Just desserts.

[mcar]

11. White guys get extra time

[sheshe2]

13. LOL!

[3catwoman3]

15. A most excellent point about 2 sexual predators...

...refusing to take "NO" for an answer.

[BBG]

22. More like a most disgusting point

Not knowing how to accept no as an answer.

[3catwoman3]

36. Agreed.

eom

[calimary]

44. Yes it IS an excellent point.

Just more proof of who and what they are.

[DesertRat]

18. I suggest Roy Moore learns to knit

[sheshe2]

19. Bwahahaha

[brer cat]

20. I hope he keeps fighting

until his money is all gone. It would serve him right to find out how poor people live.

[sheshe2]

21. Nah....

Probably stealing the monies of his pathetic donor/supporters.

Loser!

[Enoki33]

23. Seem to recall Wikileaks (Assange) instructing tRump, presumably

on behalf of Putin’s chaos inducing plan, not to concede should he lose the election. Pedo Moore likely got the idea from there.

[longship]

25. He's fading away nonetheless, my friend.

A concession is merely a polite response from the defeated. As Mr. Moore is not polite, we should not expect such a thing from him.

Instead, I approve of continuous, unbridled ridicule.

Laugh at him. Laugh at them all. And pile on the ridicule.

Always nice to see your contributions.

[Gothmog]

26. Moore is an ass

38. "I have stood for the truth about God and the Constitution..."

Yeah, with a pair of scissors in one hand and a lighter in the other. Your employment history is public knowledge, you jackass! You were removed from office TWICE for violating the constitution, so go pull the other one! The Constitution would be in safer hands in a termite farm infested with silverfish and rats that was currently on fire.

[sheshe2]

50. Woah!

"I have stood for the truth about God and the Constitution..."

All this! Thank you.

[Saviolo]

54. Hypocrites give me excessive rage.

[sheshe2]

56. Ha.

Me too, Saviolo.

[Bettie]

28. First, is anyone really surprised that Moore won't concede?

His ego is almost as big as Trump's.

Second: why is anyone telling Hillary to go away? Fer crying out loud...it is ridiculous.

[Ilsa]

32. The head of the Mississippi elections board was on NPR discussing allegations of fraud.

They were a number of fraudulent claims of voter fraud. One about a busload of Mexicans voting (didn't happen), about buses of African Americans coming in from out of state to vote (didn't happen), about a town of 2,700 people where more than 5,000 votes were counted (turns out the town itself doesn't exist). So they certified the election. Good luck Roy Moore (may you rot in a hell of your own making).

[sheshe2]

35. Hey, Nitram.

Love your synopsis of the discussion.

Thanks!

[Nitram]

37. NPR, along with the Washington Post, is one of my main sources of real news.

Thank you, sheshe. It was interesting to hear a state official, who was probably a Republican, glad to have a chance to communicate on a national broadcaster that they take every accusation of voter fraud seriously, but they were shocked to encounter the fake news that they were encountering in their investigation of voter fraud claims. I don't watch TV, and I find a good newspaper and good radio journalism are the two best sources of real information. I am dismayed by the constant drumbeat against the MSM on DU, when any serious person can find consistently good sources of information if they just pay attention. People complain about NPR because they let right wing elected officials express their opinions. To me, that is a real source of information. I can make my own decision about the truth and reliability of each person they interview.

[smirkymonkey]

39. Roy, face it. God hates you.

Now go away forever. Signed, Jesus.

[sheshe2]

40. Add tRumps name to your comment...

and I agree times infinity!

[niyad]

41. sadly, you have that exactly correct.

[sheshe2]

42. Yeah, well.

Hillary is staying...the other two can go to hell where they belong.

[niyad]

43. I talked to my brother--he doesn't want them in his domain either.

[Tipperary]

45. Roy needs to crawl back into whatever rock he lives under. What a horrid person.

[sheshe2]

47. That....

And Free Sassy Now!

[world wide wally]

46. Roy, Jesus loves you,

But everyone else thinks you're an asshole

[Juliusseizure]

51. Trump set a very dangerous precedent

Moore is just doing what Trump would have done if he lost. Not concede. Allege rigging. Sue. Say the election was invalid.

In sum, attempt to invalidate democracy as an inherently corruptible process. The underlying inference is that it's actually an evil institution that awards cheaters, so do away with it. Of course its unstated, but thats what refusal to concede, despite all legal processes followed, amounts to.

We minimize it with Moore because the worst risk is that he incites violence by a small handful of Alabama voters. That's a pointless effort.

But Trump would deliberately do whatever is necessary, in subtle, manipulative fashion, to stir up conflict amoung supporters as necessary. He threatened to do just that, and I recall his supporters ready to take up arms in armed conflict.

Now my recollection of the US as it existed prior to Trump's heinous rise is that the GOP would have shut that down with overwhelming pressure, because this is America. That assumption is now gone. The GOP, as a group, will be either silent or conplicit in aiding that type of effort.

tldr; Knowing they are the minority party demographically and extremely vulnerable, it should be assumed that Trump and the GOP will go to any lengths to maintain power, including violating all norms of democratic rule and suppressing dissent.
