Alternative/more accurate/honest hede: McConnell asks Trump to help him nullify votes of AL Repubs bc they didn’t pick McConnell’s candidate https://t.co/sYUU8DoBey

I don’t remember him having a problem with Denny Hastert, although of course Hastert wasn’t “his” responsiblity…
…Trump spoke with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell from Asia last week, and the Senate leader made an urgent plea: Please help push Moore out of the contest. On Monday, as a new female accuser emerged, the Republican leader discussed the Alabama situation with White House chief of staff John Kelly and Vice President Mike Pence. The conversation centered on tax reform, but the Senate Republican leader also proposed a dramatic idea: that Sessions run as a write-in candidate or be appointed to the seat he held for two decades.
White House officials plan to convene a meeting to talk through their options soon, and Trump is widely expected to address the predicament publicly when he returns from abroad. In order for the president to get involved, some aides to the president say, he would need an airtight plan that limits his political exposure to any fallout.
It’s a vexing call for Trump. If he tries to pressure Moore out of the race, as some people close to the White House expect him to do, there’s no guarantee that the candidate will oblige. During the GOP nomination battle, Trump aggressively backed Moore’s opponent, appointed Sen. Luther Strange…
Since the allegations surfaced on Thursday, the White House has been quietly examining its options. Counselor Kellyanne Conway has been in touch with Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey’s office to discuss possible paths forward. And political director Bill Stepien has spoken with Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel.
On Tuesday, the RNC withdrew its support from Moore…
(But not till Tuesday. Keep that in mind, for future use.)
Anyways, ol’ Roy ain’t going without a fight…
The person who should step aside is @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell. He has failed conservatives and must be replaced. #DrainTheSwamp
— Judge Roy Moore (@MooreSenate) November 13, 2017
Is it possible that he’s trying to push him out ASAP so they can run a credible write-in campaign for Strange? I can’t believe McConnell doesn’t have an ulterior motive.

I don’t know if a write-in campaign would work but it wouldn’t be surprise me in the least if McConnell wasn’t as eager as the Trump team to have Sessions back in the Senate and out of the DoJ. McConnell and Co would love to have a new AG appointed to oversee the Mueller probe, not because they like Trump, but because the probe is bad for their brand. These people are power hungry.

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Sessions resigned in order to run (as a write-in) for the Senate seat, Moore stuck to his guns, Doug Jones won, and then Trump couldn’t get a replacement AG in because now even half of the Senate GOP hate him, not to mention all of the Democrats?

Trump is not going to lift a finger against Moore. He has no power or leverage to do that. And he has nothing to gain by trying. Aside from the risk of alienating the base he and Moore have in common, Moore would just ignore him and make him look weak.

@dmsilev: I think the idea is to get Moore to informally withdraw — “suspend the campaign” — and give time for another Republican to mount a write-in campaign. That might work, but it also might just blow everything up as Moore’s embittered supporters decide to burn everything to the ground rather than vote for a consensus Republican (which, in Alabama, still means eye-searingly batshit insane, but not w/o all the molestation accusations). Then we just may get Jones.

So what are the odds Moore gets elected and then the Repubs rise up in “righteous anger” and throw him out? And get Strange or Sessions put in by Alabama’s governor. They’d need what…19 R senators to go along? Would they be able to scrap together that many? McCain, Gardner, McConnell, Collins, Murkowski and Flake are easy. Corker? Heller, trying to cover his ass? Paul? Burr & Tillis both withdrew support, would they go along? Could they get to 19?

D&C was today. Doctor asked if I had any questions, and I said that, at this point, I could probably just do it to myself already. All the nurses said, “Ohhhhh.” And then I came home and got sick. Oddly, I feel so much better. It’s over and I don’t have to worry anymore. Spawn is home, and she went back to school today, and it seems like it went well. A friend from school confided in her that he had also spent some time in a behavioral hospital, which helped her feel less weird about it. And she starts her intensive outpatient program tomorrow. She cried last night because she misses the friends she made at the hospital already. She described how, around them, she felt like she didn’t have to pretend that she wasn’t hurting, the way she feels she has to with her friends from school. So we are looking for some kind of peer support group that she can attend after the outpatient program is over.
I will look for a therapist for myself next week. I have gained weight this year—been eating my feelings, and I cut back on workouts because I didn’t want to spend time away from my Spawns. But I miss weight training. I found a place that does kickboxing classes nearby, and I might try it. I have aggression I need to get out, and fuckin’ Zumba doesn’t do it.

This is part of being alive. As the world gets more and more populated/crowded most of us have less and less impact on the world around us. That’s normal. Also, shitty years are normal. The problem is that the shitty seems to come in waves, or more like a major storm if you will. At times we get overwhelmed with shitty. During shitty years, normal aging, abnormal health, kids growing up, etc, the impact we have on the world can and often does take a step back. Sometimes a huge fucking step. And we don’t always cope well/can’t cope with that. Especially when it’s not just us but the world around us having a shitty year. Like the last couple of years. We get depressed, we try to cope, to feel a bit better, but in the middle of a shit storm, that’s difficult and often we don’t cope well. If your crap goes on long enough, sometimes you can actually learn to cope/adjust better, such that you don’t get overwhelmed.
I’ve had a lot of pretty shitty years out of the last 25, I should be used to it. But life does funny things to you. It keeps throwing you different challenges just to fuck with you, which makes it tougher to cope, even if you know what it takes and how to accomplish that. Life is funny that way.

That was 4 years ago. She got to see her grand-daughter 3 years ago, which wouldn’t have happened if her husband hadn’t taken her to UVA hospital, the local docs wrote her off totally, told her to call hospice, 6 or 7 years ago. Criminal what they did, just threw her away.
