Cruelty is the point

 

The message for the GOP couldn't be clearer

 

No more concerns from Susan Collins!  No more Lauren Boebert bullshit!  Ken Paxton, Greg Abbott, adios!  A black woman is going to be governor of Texas! Abdul el-Sayed won Michigan!

Look at all the flipped seats.  Finally, America understood the assignment.  They understood their interests.  It's a shame it took the near destruction of the country for them to do it, but, they did it.

A Fox News ("News") commentator this morning said he was surprised at the depth of the "tsunami", indicating that even state and local offices have flipped to Democrat.  Now, hold their feet to the fire, America.  And that goes double for Jeffries and Schumer.

Robert Garcia has warned the crooks and swindlers who have aided and abetted the Trump crime family to "lawyer up" - I expect there's a lot of that going on today.  

And I'm looking forward to the Trumps moving to another country.

“If we’re really going to take on the affordability crisis, we’ve got to take on the corruption of the Trumps because they’re stealing people’s money, their labor,” Garcia told Punchbowl News.

And, speaking of another country, it's going to be fun seeing other countries who've been dancing to Trump's tune leave him standing alone on the dance floor.

And one last caution: 

Aside from all the crazy, dangerous shit Trump will pull between now and the new Congress, they're going to be pressuring Alito and Thomas to retire so they can replace them with young hard right MAGA judges (think Aileen Cannon) so they can hold SCOTUS for decades to come.  Democrats MUST attend to SCOTUS reform.  And stop going along with GOP appointments and maneuvers.

UPDATE 4:20pm:

I hear murmurings that Hegseth's job is on the line.  Stay tuned.

UPDATE 11/05/2026:

Actually, I think Justin Pearson in Georgia (narrowly) lost his seat due to the gerrymander there. That's the only one I know of, but there well be more.  I take Chris' point, though.  LOLOL

Political map changes

The Republican redistricting world suffered double blows this week, as their Utah measure to legalize partisan gerrymandering failed to qualify for the ballot and a pro-voter challenge to their gerrymander in Missouri cleared a major milestone.

Meanwhile, we continue to monitor the two states with active redistricting plans in the works. In Virginia, voters are currently casting ballots in a special election that could secure four more Democratic seats in Congress. And in Florida, Republicans are preparing to redraw maps next month.

And Democrats flipped two red seats in Florida just a few days ago.

UPDATE 09/25/2026:

Maybe I can stop saying "Stop electing Republicans"

 

Two Florida flips in one day.  

Just so.

His lack of self-awareness is epic.

America - Global pariah

 

We MUST do better.  And we start by not electing Republicans to ANY office anywhere.  We have too much to clean up while soiling ourselves at the same time we're trying to clean up. We'll never get there if we allow the old energy to continue to function.  Any decent Republicans need to leave the party if they want to have a role in governance, and they won't leave the party if they can get elected while being a part of it.

The GOP never tires of wasting time and money on 2020

 

You'd think if nothing else, it would suck up resources for interfering with 2026 and 2028.
