Roy Moore is pretty amazing.
Spoilered for big image.
Spoiler:
Him casually waving a gun around at a rally. He bills himself as a judge, although he has been kicked off the bench twice.
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...-moore/541467/Most people, if they’ve heard of Moore at all, remember him vaguely as “the 10-Commandments judge.” This shorthand hardly does justice to the multi-year legal and PR spectacle Moore waged for the right to blend church and state. The flamboyantly pious Moore launched his career-making crusade in 1992, by placing a wooden plaque of the 10 Commandments in his Etowah County courtroom. The ensuing cultural and legal battles raised his profile and helped him get elected chief justice of the state supreme court in 2001. Shortly after being sworn in, he upped the culture-war ante by installing a massive granite monument of the 10 Commandments smack dab in the middle of the court building’s lobby. Lawsuits followed, and a federal judge ordered the monument—affectionately nicknamed The Rock—removed. Moore refused. Two years and multiple court rulings later (none in Moore’s favor), the conservative champion was officially booted from the bench by a judicial ethics panel.
By then, however, Moore was a hero among social conservatives, a fierce Christian warrior who put principles over power. He spent the next few years traveling the country with The Rock, speaking—preaching, really—to fellow warriors about the need to restore this nation to its Christian roots.
In 2012, Moore returned to the political arena, reclaiming his seat as Alabama’s chief justice. Before long, he was back on the national radar, this time for defying federal law regarding same-sex marriage. Now, Moore has never been a big fan of gay rights. He is on record as believing that “sodomy” should be illegal, drawing parallels between it and bestiality, and decreeing that homosexuality renders a person fundamentally unfit for parenthood. During his first run as chief justice, he used a 2002 custody case as an occasion to pen a fiery screed against “homosexual behavior,” denouncing it as “a crime against nature, an inherent evil, and an act so heinous that it defies one's ability to describe it.”
Small wonder that, in 2016, the chief justice directed Alabama probate judges to ignore the Supreme Court’s recent decision legalizing same-sex marriages and to continue enforcing the state’s ban on such unions by denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Once more, he was brought up on judicial-ethics charges and, in September of last year, was suspended from office. He resigned shortly thereafter to run for Senate.
Just to review: Moore had his judicial wings clipped—twice—for refusing to uphold the law of the land.
Even when not on the bench, Moore found ways now and again to grab the spotlight. In 2006, when Keith Ellison became the first Muslim elected to Congress, Moore penned an op-ed for World Net Daily, asserting that Ellison should not be allowed to serve in the House because of his religion. Ellison’s request to be sworn in on the Quran (rather than the Bible) really got Moore’s goat. In addition to arguing that someone who embraces the Quran cannot possibly commit himself to the U.S. Constitution (to be fair, Moore is an expert on the subject of putting one’s religious beliefs ahead of the rule of law), the erstwhile judge argued that “common sense alone dictates that in the midst of a war with Islamic terrorists we should not place someone in a position of great power who shares their doctrine.”

In others, Moore labeled "homosexual conduct" by parents as being "detrimental to the children," writing that it "is, and has been, considered abhorrent, immoral, detestable, a crime against nature, and a violation of the laws of nature and of nature's God upon which this nation and our laws are predicated."

You don't get to say that when you are an evil retard.

"Laws of nature"
Which ones exactly? Made by whom? Always my favourite argument.
Usually those go hand in hand don't they? Thus commanded supply side Jesus
Claims of piousness, sure. I've seen actual pious individuals. I'm not cynical enough yet to say they don't exist.Usually those go hand in hand don't they? Thus commanded supply side Jesus

Trump is on a roll. Of being more awful every passing day.
Going after the mayor of san juan is a special touch.
Quarantined and loving life.
He also thinks preschool is a liberal plot to indoctrinate children into their ways, much like the Nazis.
Not even making this up.

That Roy Moore guy sounds like the sort of elected representative you'd get from the greatest nation on the planet. He's obviously smart, socially aware and a good role model for everyone :cryingeagle:
Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves for slaughter.
The only kidn that matter.
