#SweetHomeAlabama State Senator Cam Ward (R.Alabaster) tweets #AlternativeFacts, blame Twitter users #Apocolypse Day 1

In a misguided attempt to discredit the millions of women (men and children) around the world who protested Trump's Fake Presidency, Alabama State Senator Cam Ward tried to slut shame the Women's March. He probably would have gotten away with it if he had not used social media as his vehicle.  You see, unlike the mainstream media, social media users can and will check you.

There is just one little problem with this photo saying it all...The photo was from an event in 2013 called SlutWalk Chicago, an annual parade that protests sexual assault and violence.  Ooops!

So instead of saying Sen. Cam Ward tweeted a false tweet, good old Alabama Media Group lays the blame on them there Twitter Users.  See how #AlternativeFacts are promoted and enabled by the media? We have research to determine if what is being reported in the "news" is fact or fiction.

Psst, Senator Ward....EYE don't think you want to slut-shame women for organizing to fight for their rights in light of the fact the person occupying the oval office likes to grab women by their private parts,  is being sued for defamation over a sexual assault denials,  and is on his third marriage to someone who has some ahem revealing pictures out there that show it all.  In your attempt to discredit the #WomensMarch your discredited yourself. 

EYE am looking at you too Alabama Media Group.  Instead of reporting just the facts you tried to rehabilitate Sen. Ward with a false both sides narrative.  The truth doesn't have "both sides", it's either the truth or it's a lie.  Okay?

A bill co-sponsored by about half a dozen Republicans would force the United States to quit its membership in the United Nations.

Why would Alabama republicans bar outside observers from Alabama Elections?

According to Alabama Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard (r.), Sweet Home Alabama doesn't need none of them there outside agitators coming down here monitoring our selections, I mean elections.  You would think a party so concerned about voter fraud and ballot security would welcome extra eyes and ears at the polling place.

Well at least the Alabama Speaker of the House isn't threatening to arrest monitors observing the election.  Yet.

I could understand their position if Alabama and our country were the model for fair and free elections, you know.... one man/woman one vote, every vote counts, and the candidate with the most votes wins.

To all republicans who said "If you aren't doing anything wrong you don't have anything to worry about" after 9/11 when Congress passed the Patriot Act, I say, If you aren't doing anything wrong why are you trying to bar outside observers?

Undecided My Donkey

President Obama and Mitt Romney answer questions from undecided voters at the second presidential debate, at Hofstra University on Long Island, N.Y., last Tuesday.Emmanuel Dunand/AFP/Getty Images

Without a doubt President Obama won the last two debates, and any one who claims to be an undecided voter after last nights slap down in the Mouth of the Rat  hasn't been paying attention.  I suspect the so called undecided/independent/moderate voters really are republicans who are ashamed to admit it, but that's just me.

After last night, who is going to vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan besides rich white males who have convinced poor white males to vote against their interest, and old, rich, white, females who don't have to work, no longer need birth control, and can afford to pay for a safe legal abortion if they choose to?  I mean, really?

The segment of the population who has actually been paying attention to what Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have been saying on the campaign trail  knows Mitt flip/flopped all over the place on foreign policy.  I don't know about you, but I feel a lot safer with President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in charge of our safety and security than those two.

It's a question of character.  Para quoting Newt Gingrich, anyone who will lie to you to become President will lie to you when they become President.  

Been there.

Done that.

I HOPE there are more voters who love our country more than they hate our President, and I am thankful the United Nations will monitor this election to ensure we have fair and free elections in America too.
