After initially denying reports of an affair, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill on Wednesday afternoon told AL.com that he had “an inappropriate relationship” with a 44-year-old woman and will not make an anticipated run for the U.S. Senate.

In an interview with AL.com on Wednesday morning, Merrill denied having had an affair and accused Cesaire McPherson of “stalking” and “harassing” him.

McPherson provided Al.com with a recording of an October 2020 conversation between her and Merrill, who is a Republican. In the 17-minute recording, Merrill and McPherson discuss various sexual acts they performed during dozens of romantic encounters that McPherson says took place between November 2017 and November 2020.

Looks like he was ready to victimize her as a crazy stalker until she produced the taped conversation. Good ol’ Family Values. At least he’s off the Senate trail now.

... from the 80s commercials to read the stimulus bill?

... Rule of WhiskeyT, everything else that he may say is now and forever rank bullshit.

... in closing that:

“The republican senators who vote to acquit the president are the enemies of democracy!”

“They are trying to destroy this great country, and we can’t let that happen!”

“Leningrad Lindsey, Moscow Mitch, Little Marco, Randy Paul, Adolf Hawsey and all the rest are very bad people. Evil people. And they want to take everything from you”!

“True Americans have to FIGHT against these corrupt and bad people. And FIGHT like Hell.”

“If there are any 2nd amendment democrats, maybe they should do something about that, I’m just saying”!

“ANTIFA and BLM need to stand back and stand by!”

“Real patriots MUST come to DC and save this country. Tell ‘em I invited you. We can march down to their offices and stop them any way we can. I’ll be right there with you!”

“Lock them up! Lock them up!”

“1945! 1945! 1945!”

Would that be ok? I mean, it’s just words, right?

... EVER been covered like this in the past? All three major networks, CNN, MSNBC and FuNC all with live feeds.

... for 25 years. The longest line I have ever waited in was perhaps 15-20 people. There were more than 200 ahead of me today. I got there about 45 mins after they opened.

A lot of young people and POC - pretty unusual for this precinct. There was a holding line for people updating their information. Maybe 30 people or so. All young, and mostly black. And the clothing was overwhelmingly blue- enough to notice it. That probably means nothing, but who knows.

It’s all anecdotal, but still a good omen. Biden won’t win Alabama. But if turn out looks like this nationally, I’m optimistic. And it has to be good for Doug Jones.

... easily learned to take her Тяцмрs outside, but still pees on the kitchen floor occasionally, and my wife is getting impatient.

I think she will eventually get it, but I admit that I’ve never had a dog resist housebreaking quite this long. I have housebroken quite a few dogs over the years, but my “secret” was taking them out regularly and on schedule, praising their work, and just waiting on them to figure it out.

We scold her (mildly) when she wets the floor, but we seldom catch her in the act as I suspect she knows she’s not supposed to do it and sneaks around. She is very smart, but she’s a democrat and seems to resist authority.

Any suggestions or reassurances would be appreciated.

... a couple of days ago someone posted a great video of a young woman covering Stevie Nicks’ Dreams. It was beautiful and I wanted to show my daughter, but I can’t find it. Help me out DU

...Owner of the Broken IPhone store in Mobile Alabama won’t allow “communist” masks in his store. What an asshole.
