Dems take back the House.

Pussy (Hats) Whipped

That’s all you got?

Two years of non-stop campaigning, denouncing and doxing — and all the Resistance has to show for it is a House majority smaller than the one Republicans currently have and a net loss of three Senate seats? (Thank you, Justice Brett Kavanaugh!)

Democratic leaders may try saying, “THIS IS JUST WHAT WE WANTED! We wanted to be down by three Senate seats.” But I think their voters are saying, We were hoping for more of a rebuke.

The media exhausted itself on this election! Can they go back to that level of hysteria today?

President Clinton lost 54 House seats and eight Senate seats in his first midterm, as voters responded to Hillary’s attempt to socialize health care. President Obama lost 63 House seats and six Senate seats in his first midterm, as voters responded to the Democrats’ successful party-line vote to socialize health care.

America’s response to Trump’s first two years? Republicans lost fewer than 40 House seats and gained Senate seats. (Again: Thank you, Justice Kavanaugh.)

And that was with more than 40 House Republicans being spooked into retiring rather than go down to certain defeat in what the media convinced them would be a big blue wave.

It’s always a bad idea to give Democrats control of any part of government. You don’t want those guys running a lemonade stand.

But — wow — are there silver linings!

First, all the worst Republican House members were defeated, such as cheap labor advocate Kevin Yoder of Kansas and Florida’s Rep. Carlos Curbelo, a second-generation immigrant who goes around calling his fellow Republicans white supremacists. (Alleged white supremacist Steve King won and Curbelo lost — hahahahaha!)

As the movie character Ninotchka said of Stalin’s reign of terror: “The last mass trials were a great success! There are going to be fewer but better Russians.”

Second, the main accomplishment of the Resistance in the first midterm was to help Trump win his re-election bid.

Even voters skeptical about Trump will embrace him after two minutes, let alone two years, of watching Speaker Nancy Pelosi run the House, Rep. Maxine Waters chair the House Financial Services Committee, Rep. Jerry Nadler head the Judiciary Committee — and Rep. Adam Schiff run around issuing subpoenas all over town.

How about Rep. Alcee Hastings, an impeached and convicted bribe-taker? His seniority surely requires giving him a committee chairmanship! Is Pelosi going to discriminate against Hastings just because he’s a proud black man? Right now, Pelosi is trying to determine which committee chairmanship requires no honesty whatsoever.

If you were hoping the Democrats would seize this opportunity to make utter fools of themselves — impeachment hearings, resurrecting the Kavanaugh gang rape claims, and Russia, Russia, Russia — I’ve got good news! That’s exactly what their base is demanding. I promise you, Maxine Waters is not going to say, “Don’t worry, guys. I’ll be keeping a very low profile.”

Voters will be pleading, Couldn’t we get an infrastructure bill? Will you please do something about all these criminal aliens in my sanctuary city? And the Democrats will be carrying on about Trump’s taxes.

The Senate math was on Republicans’ side, but countering that were several GOP retirements. Republicans not only held the Senate with a bigger margin … but now with no Jeff Flake, John McCain or Bob Corker!

The only GOP senator to lose his re-election was Dean Heller of Nevada. That makes him the fourth Republican who supported Marco Rubio’s 2013 amnesty bill to lose his seat. Inasmuch as about 85 percent of incumbent senators win re-election, at least for the past quarter-century, this is quite an accomplishment!

Mercifully, of the 14 GOP traitors who voted for Rubio’s amnesty, only six remain in office. Four were beaten, three retired one step ahead of the guillotine and one took the easy way out by dying.

Which raises the question: What exactly was Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s plan for victory? Hope a Supreme Court justice retired and that the Democrats would make vicious and false claims against our nominee?

The Republicans’ stunning Senate victories resulted from nothing they did. These are the guys who ran like little girls from Trump’s campaign promises on immigration. Republicans didn’t even bother forcing Democrats to cast wildly unpopular votes on the wall, sanctuary cities or anchor babies. In fact, Republicans did very little of interest to any voters.

The one and only reason Republicans picked up Senate seats in a midterm election is the utter derangement of the Resistance, which — by complete happenstance — was recently put on display when Democrats got the bright idea to falsely accuse a sweet nerd like Brett Kavanaugh of gang rape.

As Trump is accused of the foulest treason over the next two years, he might want to remember Kavanaugh.

You think having MSNBC gloat over your tax returns and Robert Mueller accusing you of collusion with Russia is outrageous? I imagine it was also unpleasant to be accused from every media outlet of gang rape. But Justice Kavanaugh and his family soldiered on, winning the nomination — and winning three Senate seats for the GOP.

Just remember, Mr. President, every time Adam Schiff appears on TV, the RNC should be sending a receipt to the Democrats.

I really would like coulter to find a trash heap to go live in that is far from me and stop polluting the media.

[psiberzerker]

That is not the product of a rational mind, in my opinion. It renders any kind of reasonable level of discourse impossible.

Except that people are capable of reasonable discourse with me.  So, it's not impossible.

Only thing worse than knowing Coulter is still around and writing is that someone thinks it’s worth reading and posts it.  I will not be reading the wall of yellow copy paste.

It seems Russia State Media is predicting indictments of Trump and his family following the Dems retake of the House.  Some of the Russian reaction is hysteria over increased or reaffirmed sanctions, but it makes one wonder what they know about the Russia/Trump connections that have them predicting indictments?

But then that’s Russia, those in power put their political opponents in jail.  One of the things Trump admires about Putin.

Some 'feel good' news from this week's election:
http://top.adlesse.com/en/i/750284597620679382/oregon-town-elects-18-year-old-as-mayor

Ben Simons will be Mayor, beginning January 2019, and seems to be a good choice of a go-getter local citizen, High School Valedictorian, Volunteer Fireman who plans to insure the money is being spent correctly, for the town benefit, as his platform.

Go get'em, Ben!

That's a pretty good starter.  I mean, for a first job in politics, you don't want to try to run a County as Sheriff, but Roseberg is a crossroads.  That's basically it (I used to stop there, running bike trailers from Burley to Portland, and Vancouver.  On a Burley bike trailer.  I reminded me for all the world of Athens GA, without the college.)  So, as he learns to delegate responsibility, I could really see that kind of job as a good place.  Not unlike Interning.  It's not like he has to run the entire town on his own, but it's a microcosm, of how a government is run, locally.

I agree, it looks like he has a bright future.

Triggered much? Smile...  Go empty another park trashcan, boy!

Let the civility begin!

Does this mean you'll stop making racist posts?

#Resist

Everyone you spar with doesn’t need to be called a racist.  I may have missed it, but I don’t recall joan posting anything overtly racist.  The posts just parrot whatever ideological rightwing nonsense and falsehoods she hears from Fox and Trump.

It looks like Arizona will send a Democrat to the Senate.  Most people were really turned off by the negative campaign run by McSally.

It was some of the worst mudslinging I'd ever seen.  Sinema was accused of child trafficking (for speaking out against the shut down of BackPage)  and treason (for being against the Iraq war).  Worse yet, things Sinema said were taken horribly out of context and used against her.

I actually like McSally until this campaign, and when she suddenly started kissing Trump's arse.

[psiberzerker]

Predictably, Athos Continues giving me Boos, because I pointed out that he can't let it go.  Way to prove me wrong.

Nothing about the Republican backlash.  Nothing about the Democrat's failure to Impeach, despite getting elected on that promise, just stopped in to give me a frowny face.    Had I only known it were that easy to stonewall your constant spamming.  I managed to beat you, with Links.  Clickbait links at that, coward.

I’ll give McSally some credit in comparison to Republicans in Florida and Georgia.  She has drawn the ire of Republicans for not shrieking about fraud (where none exists).  This is the Republican playbook, put your thumb on the scale as much as possible through gerrymandering, nonsensical ID laws, reduced polling places in Democrat counties and other voter suppression tactics, then scream fraud with zero evidence as soon as the votes get close and people try and do their job of accurately counting the votes.

Republicans are undermining our democracy in numerous ways with lasting consequences.

Yeah, now it's preemptively accusing the Democrats of Election fraud, to cover up their own Election fraud.  Predictably.

McSally has just conceded.

You have to hand it to our president. He energized the youth to come out and vote. And vote they did.

Through a haze of pot smoke, and needles.  They probably will sober up within the next two years, and realize their mistake.  The Democrapy party is self destructing, and will be a thing of the past from now on.
