    So it looks like Senema is going to Win in Arizona. If Nelson wins the recount in Florida then its back to 49 senate seats for the Dems. Which is what they had before. Things looking worse for the republicans every day.

    It would be hilarious if somehow Mike Epsy, the democrat in Mississippi somehow won the runoff next month. He probably won't but it would be funny.

    #50-50 Senate

    So with 34 and counting...

    Also it's looking like ALL of Orange County CA (fucking CRAZY) is turning blue.

    By the end it'll be 38-40 seats taken from republicans in the House.

    With the House seats, 7 governors seats, 350+ state Senate/House seats, 11 WHOLE state legislatures lost... Trump is losing power left and right.

    That's certainly a blue wave.

    Now there's Jeff Flake... Gotta love that guy right now.

    I've heard he's in a very bad mood because of the blue wave. Well, that and what Mueller is going to do.

    How the fuck are they supposed to talk about inclusion and diversity?

    McCarthy Takes over as minority leader in The House.

    His statement:

    "It's not our differences that make us stronger. It's our unity despite our diversity-unity of past, of principles, and of purpose that brought us out many into one."

    16% of republicans are against re-election.
    59% of independents are against.

    Where are the republicans going to get their voter base, skinhead bomb shelters in Idaho?

    McCarthy is an idiot. That makes no sense. Polispeak. Fuzzy math.


    Unity despite diversity? Despite? Diversity isn't a negative thing. Diversity is our greatest strength. It is the foundation of our freedom. It is the vital principle of our country.

    Her use of social media is creative - but the image and quote do not go well together, as it implies her as the giant. Maybe under the wings of giants would have worked better.

    That idiom is well known and used correctly.

    She's calling Shirley Chisholm a giant.

    I know that. I am pointing that in the image it seems as if she is the one whose shoulders are being used to prop the one she calls a giant. There is an annoying literal disconnect between the image and the text, or at least, it annoys me - I like attention to detail.

    “When morality comes up against profit, it is seldom that profit loses.”
    ― Shirley Chisholm

    The first of Chisholm's list of quotes stands out right at first glance. Identifying the Socialist Democrat right at the get go.
    We have seen this lack of logic in Obama's days, and we shall see it implemented or attempted again with the new house.

    When you put the Healthcare insurance companies in a position that they can not make a natural profit without charging
    premiums too high for them to have a worthy product for the healthy, Whom has the government helped vs harmed? It is illogical to make a naturally profitable industry into a social welfare program. If it is worth while to help a segment of society that is not covered by private industry, then it is reasonable to make a government run social program where the costs are identified and shared by all when agreeable to the majority. Not by loading the costs onto the few, helped naturally by private industry.

    The quote above would suggest the point will be missed again.

    I would prefer a different quote that still respects the woman but does not clash with the picture. It is not a big deal, it is just that there is a discord between the image and the quote - and that's a shame because she is clearly trying to honor her, I just wish the discord was not there to do a better job.

    He's smarter than you'll ever be. He's also 10x smarter and that many times better a president than the idiot you voted for.

    Just like Trump calling Maxine Waters "Low IQ"....

    Trumpets like to try to push racism buttons...
