Senator Mo Brooks has a nice ring to it.

"Retiring" from politics shouldn't be a thing. Receiving a pension and benefits for politicians shouldn't be a thing. frick all career politicians. frick everyone that keeps voting for career politicians. frick a system that allows career politicians.

I'm betting there is a 100% chance Dud Jones tries again.

Sessions probably will too.

Good, although it's hard to see that pork-monster hanging it up unless the establishment has his replacement picked with full confidence of election.

Sessions isn't it. The lobby world has never been completely fond of him and he's too anti-China for their tastes. I'll bet they try and haul Luther Strange back out...either that, Bradley Byrne or maybe Gary Alexander. Sadly, Alabama doesn't really have a lot of "MAGA" stars in the GOP ranks that I'm aware of. They just have a bunch of old democrats who have a knack for getting elected.

this should be interesting. A child molester almost winning, then a football coach. Alabama politics is always entertaining

It’s time. Past time really. Shelby has done a lot for this state, but he’s the epitome of establishment Republicans. Notice he never said a peep really about Trump.

It’s time for Bradley Byrne or Del Marsh to get in there.

Shelby was instrumental and key in bringing the space force headquarters to Huntsville, Alabama.

That kind of big get for Alabama does not happen without Shelby swinging a big dick as Chairman of Appropriations in the senate.

"Will not seek a 7th term."

So, 36 years sucking at the national teat was enough?
