Well, it looks as though we had a Blue Surge rather than a Blue Wave... but that's good. Democrats now control the House of Representatives! That's a very good thing! And there are now 7 more Democratic Governors and 7 less Republican Governors, which is another Very Good Thing! Beto lost... sadly. On the other hand, Jared Pollis, a Gay Democrat, is now the Governor of Colorado! Ain't that something to celebrate! Here in Pennsylvania, our boy Brian Sims was re-elected!! In very white Republican run Georgia, the race is too close to call. One of the predictions I liked about that very Republican race was that this would happen, and Abrams would win in a run-off election in December. Georgia is something the GOP never, ever thought would happen. So, will they finally understand how America is evolving and change? Hell no. To do so would be to admit they have made a mistake. They are still in the denial stage of their own demise.
And then what about the Crazy Christians? You know, the ones who have been selling their souls to the Morally Degenerate Idiot Jerk in the White House faster than Joel Osteen can snatch a penny from the hands of the poor. Either the deity they worship is not as powerful and they think, or else this was supposed to happen. What if the Idiot Jerk's election to the presidency through a technicality called the Electoral College was really nothing more than a test for them? He offers them power in exchange for acceptance of his degeneracy. If so, they have failed. Their corruption mirrors his. Now they will have to pay the price.
Anyway, enough of my political ramblings for today. The midterms are over. Remember what the Republicans said after the Idiot Jerk's technical win? "Get over it." Well, that needs to be our response to them when they start whining. Believe me, they've already started pointing fingers at somebody else, and blaming somebody else, and shrieking 'voter fraud.' Just tell them to "get over it!" Or a simple "shut up" will work wonders, too.
OH, and I forgot to mention... Kim Davis was fired.
Honestly, I think this is the best thing that could happen. Hear me out: winning the House is HUGE. It will restore some checks and balances on Trump. 7 more Democratic governors is huge, too! But had we won the Senate, the Trump crazies would be totally up in arms and would fight like hell to get Trump reelected in 2020. Since they kept the Senate, I'm hoping they'll calm down a little. Only winning one branch means we have a better chance of electing someone besides Trump in 2020, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteLast night was a big win...and there are more on the horizon! I want to see another Blue Surge in November 2020!
I actually think your assessment is right on the money. The 7 governors is actually more huge than most people suspect.
DeleteYou know Toadstool Yetipubes is gonna gloat he won. And yes, the House win is awesome. It'll hopefully give way to more changes from the ground up. And I'm so happy the that cow Davis lost. Praise Dog.
ReplyDeletePrior to the Republican takeover of the House under Obama a committee majority was needed to begin an investigation. The Republicans changed that. Now the committee chairman decides what to investigate. Chairmen are always members of the majority party. In other words, the Republicans shit in their pants when they made that change. Let the investigations commence!
DeleteI think Jennifer nailed it.
ReplyDeleteThese wins, small and large, will give us momentum in 2020.
And don't forget, in 2 years there are going to be fewer older, white, male Republicans.
Deletelet the mueller bomb droppings begin! so many gay/women/POC won yesterday; celebration time!
ReplyDeleteand the kentucky kunt lost to a gay man - talk about karma! bwhahahahahahaha!
And I don't think getting voted out of office is grounds for filing for unemployment benefits. She may actually have shit in her stinky little pants, too.

ReplyDeleteWell the ex was right. My friend lost her race...but by very slim margin it was 51-49. So fucking close. She needed a better campaign manager. My state senator also flipped to a dem, and great a kept Wolf. Other state reps also flipped to dems which is great. Was not happy to hear about george Scott's lost. My mother pissed.
