Roy Moore lost the election and everyone made the same joke
Roy Moore is bad at riding horses, and on Tuesday night, he was bad at winning elections.
Moore lost the Senate race in Alabama to Democrat Doug Jones and a lot of people were happy about it. Moore’s win came as a surprise, as Democrats haven’t fared well in Alabama elections for about a quarter decade.

Senators set to vote on the GOP tax bill and they can’t even read it
We’ve all been there. You have your assignment printed and ready to go, but are frantically scribbling down last minute additions in the desperate hope that you’ll get a passing grade.
This was OK in high school English class, but what about in the U.S. Senate?

Since apparently believing women about sexual abuse that happened when they were young is just too much (and it’s easier for politicians to give a “safe” response that effectively protects abusers), Twitter users decided to clear things up with a powerful hashtag: #MeAt14.
