I see where the Rs are bitching about the slow count in Maricopa County, Arizona. What do they expect, after telling all the R voters to turn in their mailed ballots on election day? The counters are working 18 hours a day, and it will likely be this Thursday before they are done. Counts aren't done in one day, in any event. Fortunately, there are both R and D observers, so hopefully there won't be any whining about stolen votes. Pfft, Who am I kidding? The new R "leadership" seems to be comprised of, as Bill Maher put it about the chump, "whiny little bitches".

They're so close to figuring out population density.

Breaking: Dems are projected to keep control of the Senate

Between this and Ukraine, it's been a bad week for fascists!

I've said a couple of times that I believed the best thing that happened for Democrats was Trump, not Biden or much of the things, either well or poorly thought out, that Democrats do.  The energy of the electorate, both Republican or Democrat is currently the result of Trump. He gets out the voters on both sides, but he seems to helping Democrats slightly more than Republicans, even while the current president has almost record low approval ratings.   

There are many Republicans that don't like Trump.  This was evident before he won his presidential nomination, but he had such a fervent base that Republicans just went along with it, because there was nothing else they could do. Maybe we can say that Trump never really represented the Republican Party, but rather just controlled it.  And with that control, much of it based on bullying and fear, he continued to alter the party, even after losing the election, as the Republican Party went totally nuts following the conspiracy theories of election fraud and used it to attack the current voting system in an attempt to fix the elections and get rid of democracy in the process.

Clearly that's not what most Americans want. The scary thing is that this is just a slight majority, and there are still a lot of people out there that dream of a leader with supreme dictator-like power.  We are not out of the woods.  We are just getting a breather.  I hope no one forgets what happened during the Trump era.

Well, that's a shame.  I wonder who told them that.

I kind of doubt that will stop them from voting.  I've doubted they actually believe the last one was rigged, but creating that idea gives them license to do their own rigging.  Just like Trump telling governors to stop those protests over Black Lives Matter, or he would send in troops to stop it for them.... and then when the most violent protest of all (his) takes place he does nothing.

I voted against all things Trump.  Cleanse yourself of this orange stain and rejoin normal political discourse.

Kari lake lost her race, yay!

Also, while i still find it disheartening how many maga trumpists there are after all that has transpired these last years...
One thing we mustn't forget: if some places hadn't been gerrymandered to the point of ridiculousness, the house would likely also have remained in democrat-control.

It was already a several decade historically bad showing for the minority party, and I don't think the fact they had to "legally cheat" to even do that good is being focused on enough.

If you are doing terrible and you are cheating, it's time to reevaluate your strategy.

Or just double down on it, what do I know...

WTF? -- MAGAGA ?

In his blundering screed last night announcing to a partly terrified, partly fawning, but mostly yawning public his intent to run for POTUS in 2024, Trump used a new slogan adding the words "and glorious" to his existing slogan. 

Some might ask:

-- will his supporters now have to buy new hats?

-- can you fit all that on a hat?

-- does anyone really give a shit?

That's funny. Plus he's firmly engaged with the Q crowd now. Fortunately, the evil democratic Pizza parlor basement cabal is gonna have to get extra juiced up on baby's "blood libel" to defeat the glorious trump campaign. The roots of this baby's blood thing going back to an anti-Jewish trumped-up conspiracy movement, "Simon of Trent" that occured centuries ago.

Magaga = Me gaga

MAGAGA banana

How is one supposed to pronounce that thing?  Ma gaga?  Mag aga?  Maga ga?  In any, or every way, it sounds like baby talk.
