It is US mid-term election eve, 11/7/22, and the political vitriol
reaches new lows. Personalities matter more than issues in these bread and
circus days. The corrupt democrat tribe is pushing “the end of democracy” narrative
to bring out the vote. The mid-term elections tomorrow, 11/8/22, are always the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, and are won or lost on turnout.
The corrupt republican tribe is pushing the inflation,
economy, crime and southern border crisis narratives outflanking the democrats
as election day draws near. The end of democracy stuff touted by democrats is stupid because the
country is not a democracy.
The United States of America is a representative republic,
or Constitutional republic if you prefer, which allows all states and individuals,
no matter how small in number, to have a choice and say in the government. A democracy
is majority vote which is mob rules; you don’t want that. All of you understand this, right?
Keystone posted an article in front of the November 2020
election that King Donnie lost and Sleepy Joe won. “2020 United StatesPresidential Election.” Keystone also published the book, “President Trump’sFinal 80 Days,” which chronicles the crazy events following the 2020 election through
the Capital Hill riot and inauguration of President Biden. Nutty times. Read
that account if you want to relive that 80-day period in real-time.
Would you believe that the orange-headed bloviating carnival
clown is still saying that he actually won the 2020 presidential election? The
sickening Baby Trump needs to do the country a service and go away but he may
announce his candidacy for another run at office next week.
Trump was probably not planning to run again since his
tissue-paper ego could not take another loss but he is buried in legal problems
and jeopardy and likely sees his only way out as a Hail Mary pass hoping to get
reelected president in November 2024 so he can delay all his legal problems. It
is unclear how much legal cover and protection he would immediately receive if
he announces his candidacy next week.
Isn’t it sickening that it always has to be about Donnie the
loser? Go away, dude. Get lost. Beat it. Trump lost his election because he ran
a pitiful campaign. What idiot tells voters to not mail-in your votes and
instead wait until election day to drive to the polls, maybe wait in line, and
vote that way. Pure idiocy.
Keystone highlighted the right track/wrong track poll in the
2020 article as the top predictor of election outcomes. In 2016, two-thirds of Americans
thought the country was on the wrong track with Obama so Trump was elected
defeating Clinton. Fast forward to 2020, two-thirds of the country thought the
US was on the wrong track with Trump so Biden was elected defeating Trump.
Right now, various polls are showing from 60% to 71% of Americans think the
country is on the wrong track. This is the kiss of death for democrats. This is
not rocket science, and Keystone knows rocket science.
The mid-term elections tend to be more local and issue-based
but the personality business is here to stay in politics. In Arizona,
republican senate candidate Kari Lake, a television news anchor well-versed on
television and communications, bloviates daily and is now dubbed ‘Donald Trump
in high heels’. Will the US become a nation where the bloviating carnival
barkers win all elections? Maybe.
In this neck of the woods, Pennsylvania, the television ads are non-stop. Pennsylvanians can repeat the ads back to you verbatim after seeing them a thousand times. A negative ad calls Dr Oz a snake and shows it slithering across his image. Democrats call him Dr Odd.
His democrat opponent, Fetterman, is
ridiculed for not being able to handle the job after a stroke. Fetterman’s gaffes
are good for laughs. “I support fracking. I don’t support fracking. I support
fracking.” In the debate with Oz, Fetterman started the evening by saying "Good night." Republicans call him Fetter-neck (a big bulge on the back of his
neck).
Keystone used to get tires for his trucks at Keystone Tire (everything in Pennsylvania is called 'Keystone something' since it is the Keystone State) in Braddock, Pennsylvania, where Fetterman was mayor. The tire company was the wholesaler for western Pennsylvania with a big warehouse down by the river so tires were $5 cheaper cutting out the middle man (dealers around Pittsburgh).
The reporting on Braddock is misguided. Do not picture a Leave It to
Beaver town; quite the contrary. Braddock is an old steel town only a few miles
from the heart of Pittsburgh. It is a run-down town, abandoned buildings,
blight, dirt everywhere and boarded-up buildings. Side streets are still brick
roads. It has been this way since the steel industry was crushed in the 1970’s
and 1980’s (middle class jobs axed and sent overseas to countries that paid lower wages so the stocks made big gains rewarding America's wealthy that own the stock and control the crony capitalism game).
Keystone would go to the tire shop during day time. If you
are a white dude, Braddock is a place you do not visit at night. Braddock was
making a comeback. The UPMC hospital was a great anchor at the edge of Braddock.
The tire shop was a block away and a nice daycare was next door that was always
busy with people dropping off kids and going to work.
But Braddock was decimated overnight when the hospital closed. There was no advanced warning or any chance for local governments to figure out a way to keep the hospital. It was a knife into Braddock’s heart. Pittsburgher's were not happy to see Braddock stabbed in the back. The hospital is gone and the other businesses are now boarded-up blight.
Keystone Tire is closed so Keystone does not make the trip into Braddock anymore. That is the story of Braddock in recent years. It is surprising that the Fetterman camp did not
mention the loss of the hospital during the campaign. Braddock tumbles into crime
and trouble. It was as if the life was sucked out of Braddock when the hospital closed without warning.
The other interesting republican narrative on Fetterman was the gun incident
with the skinny black guy that was out jogging in the early morning hours. The incident was on local news and most of us
laughed it off. People knew Fetterman was trying to help Braddock so it was not
viewed as a big deal. Fetterman did express immediate remorse and was owning up to his actions.
Further, if memory serves, that dude on the barrel end of Fetterman’s shotgun was given a big settlement due to the incident so he is likely not
complaining. He is probably driving around in a Caddy these days with a smile on his face and a girl on his arm. The republicans were likely begging that dude to do a commercial
against Fetterman but the reason you did not see one is because he had
to sign a non-disclosure agreement and not talk about the incident after they handed him the big cardboard check.
In these parts, the Fetterman gun incident was no biggie. This
may sound odd to other areas of the country but that is the way it is around
here. House burglaries are almost non-existent in some communities because thieves know that if
they break into a place in southwestern Pennsylvania, they will likely be shot.
This is how you create a crime-free area. Many men, and now more ladies, in Pennsylvania have
concealed carry permits. None of us want trouble but many of us are ready to always protect women, children and vulnerable folks.
In Pennsylvania, without the stroke, Fetterman would be way ahead of Oz. If McCormick was the republican candidate instead of Oz after the hard-fought primary, he would likely be leading Fetterman by a wider margin than Oz. King Donnie Trump wanted Oz but the republican party would have been better off with McCormick. Many Pennsylvanians view Oz as a carpetbagger from New Jersey (a poll shows 56% of Pennsylvania view Oz as a carpetbagger from New Jersey). Trump picks candidates based on whether or not they will kiss his orange *ss each day. McCormick would not; Oz will.
The race is tied according to polls because of the stroke but if
you had to pick, Fetterman will likely win. The stroke is likely a non-issue
for most folks since being a politician is the easiest job around. Huge staffs
do all the work and all you do is release a few statements now and then or pontificate
on television occasionally. Comically, if Fetterman wanted to work as a
bricklayer, electrician, accountant or healthcare worker, that would be
concerning, but to be a US senator is to be brain-dead with a compromised soul,
so no problemo.
A couple days ago, Oprah Winfrey endorses Fetterman. Oprah gave
Dr Oz his career, and they remain friends, but have different political views.
A celebrity endorsement and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee at the local café.
They have never made an impact on elections but Oprah is special. Ladies, don’t
get mad, but you know that if Oprah told you to go jump off a bridge, you would
likely do it. When Queen Oprah decrees, the women listen.
Women over 50 years old are a large voting block as are
seniors and they will likely lean Fetterman. The men voting generally want to
see the republicans back into office. Independents are leaning towards
republicans but many races are personality-based impacting decisions.
The key states to watch tomorrow are Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and a few others such as Ohio, Wisconsin and North Carolina. New Hampshire will give an early read on the evening depending on how republican General Bulduc performs. Pennsylvania must be important since three presidents, Biden, Obama and Trump, were kissing butt in the Keystone State on the same day.
The major issues in the minds of voters are inflation,
inflation, inflation, and they lay that trouble at Biden’s feet. Folks see food
going up in price every day. Gasoline prices are jumping higher. Housing and rent costs are pushing budgets to
the brink and beyond. Using a baseball
season analogy as the Houston Astros dynasty wins the World Series again this year, 3
strikes and the democrats are out.
The crime issue will impact voters. Keystone must provide a
lesson on the birds and the bees so virgin ears should be covered. In the game
of life, men seek sex and women seek safety. It's that simple. If you remain aware of this rule,
you will live a happier life. Most of the disagreements between men and women
are because of their internal drives and each side not viewing the other from
the different perspective.
If a man is unhappy, perhaps it is because he has failed to
install the deadbolt on the front door and fix the latch on the bedroom window
that his honey has been asking for 3 months. The happy man made sure his lady
was safe and fixed those items within days of her request. Why does this Freudian
psychobabble matter in an election?
Because safety and crime are a major concern. The democrats
put people in power that are too lenient on criminals. Women want to feel safe,
it is their key issue in life, and there are always more women that vote than men in
every election. Men, when your lady asks you to check the tire pressure because she may have a flat, or to replace the burned-out floodlight that illuminates the driveway when she comes home from work, you are best advised to get busy. That is, if you want to be happy.
Since we have walked into esoteric land, another interesting
election consistency is that the tall person typically wins. Think back to your
managers at work, or politicians, or community leaders. Are they tall? Most are. Of course,
someone is yelling right now that his jerk boss is a short bald fat guy. Of
course, there are always exceptions. The tendency for voters to choose the tall
person is a plus for Fetterman that is a towering oaf at 6’9” (81 inches; 206
cm; 2 meters) compared to the short pale Oz that looks weak in need of a hamburger. Will the tall one win?
The funniest line Fetterman ever said was when he responded
to a question a year ago about his huge physical stature. He said, paraphrasing,
‘I know I do not look like a regular normal politician, Hell, I don’t even look
like a regular human being’. That is funny stuff.
Another issue that will hurt democrats is pushing the sex stuff in schools especially to kids not even in first grade. Americans are overwhelmingly unhappy about the curriculum in schools and it is a reason that the Latino folks, that are family-oriented, are moving from the democrat tribe to the republican tribe. Comedians joke about it. No matter what the errand or event, the Latino family is typically together.
Family-oriented folks do not want to be talking sex stuff with their children that are clueless to such matters at those young ages. Don't take away their innocence and don’t overthink things. People are easy to understand
but you must be in the streets talking to them.
When democrat President Obama received a humiliating loss in
the mid-term elections two years into his first term, voters were very unhappy
with his policies and the Tea Party was gaining popularity, he declared that it
was a "shellacking.” What will President Biden say on Wednesday? Perhaps, once Grandpa
Joe is guided to the stage, with a confused expression, he will mumble, “That
was an annihilation.”
Get the popcorn ready. Most analysts say Pennsylvania’s
results may not be known for a few days but the consensus is typically wrong. If
a winner emerges in the Pennsylvania Senate race tomorrow night, it would
likely lean towards Fetterman over Oz.
The House will go into a republican majority so Pelosi is toast as leader. Pelosi says she will make a decision about her future after the election. No you won't. The decision is going to be made for Pelosi stripping her of the House majority and removing her power. She will likely retire. All these brain-dead folks approaching or in their 80's, including Trump, Biden, Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer, etc..., need to get out of government and allow younger folks to take control.
The big focus is on the Senate race to see if the marginal power
by the democrats, at 50-50, with Vice President Harris the tiebreaker, remains,
or, if both the House and Senate flip to the republicans.
Of course the corrupt US media will continue spewing garbage
in each direction. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, Washington Post, New
York Times, etc…, tout the democrat talking points while Fox News, Newsmax,
Breitbart News, AM talk radio, New York Post, etc…, sing the praises of the republican
narrative. The two political parties are two sides of the same corrupt
Washington, DC, coin.
It is interesting that so many Americans are enthusiastic about government
and elections now as the rigged crony capitalism system is in its last throes. Where were you 20 and 30 years ago? 30 million Americans screwed the other 300 million over the last 5 decades and it is payback time over the next decade or two. The crony capitalism system is broken and corrupt to the core. Will the country survive? Who knows?
It is great that Election Day is almost here because that means the television and radio campaign ads will stop. Halleluia.
Note Added 4:00 PM EST: What is an election eve without drama from the orange-headed bloviating carnival clown? Trump and his team tease, via Fox News (republican media), that he may announce his candidacy for the presidency in 2024 this evening at 8 PM EST. Shut up and go away dude. Republicans are best served if they ditch King Donnie and jump on the DeSantis train. Donnie has always only cared about one thing; Donnie. Trump the showman wants to act like he is the one that brought on the 'red wave' or 'red tsunami' that is about to occur for the republicans. Trump is the guy that participates the least but likes to take credit for things that work out positively.
Note Added 5:00 PM EST: Newsmax (republican media) reports that the polls in Pennsylvania are showing republican Dr Oz building a stronger lead against Fetterman so it may be a long night tomorrow. Pennsylvania is already experiencing a ballot controversy where over 3K mail-in votes may not be counted. Early mail voters in Pittsburgh (Allegheny County) are told to go to the alleghenyvotes.com website for instructions if your name appears on the list of problem ballots. What is an election without controversy?
Note Added 6:00 PM EST: What is an election without a jackass billionaire weighing in? Elon Musk, new owner of Twitter, tweets; "To independent-minded voters: Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic." Musk cheerleads the republican tribe. Twitter transitions from a liberal and democrat-friendly news and information source (95% of the employees are democrat) to a conservative and republican-supported message site.
Note Added 8:15 PM EST: No word from Baby Trump yet about declaring his candidacy this evening. Of course not. It is more Donnie games with the carnival clown telling folks to "look at me, look at me." Donnie needs his daily adoration fuel. Sickening, isn't it? Trump is at a rally in Ohio supporting republican Vance. His opponent democrat Ryan says Vance is kissing Trump's *ss and that is correct. Vance was a never-Trumper a few years ago denigrating the orange one but when he smelled a political future, he knelt before King Donnie to sniff his *ss and kiss the bottom of his wingtips. Trump endorses weak people that he can control. Vance is up in the polls and if he wins, Trump will claim credit and consider Vance his little b*tch.
Note Added 10:00 PM EST: Trafalgar releases its latest poll in Pennsylvania showing Oz expanding his lead against Fetterman at 47.7% to 45.5%, respectively. The first polls on the East Coast open in 8 hours. Trump finishes the Ohio rally proclaiming that he has a major announcement planned for Tuesday, 11/15/22, at his Mar-a-Lago Club. Trump the orange head pulls a stunt decreeing that he will make a major announcement tonight that turns out to be an announcement about the next announcement on Tuesday. He is a clown showman always playing baby games. Trump must feel like a cornered animal if he is going to declare his candidacy next week. It will be interesting to see what the lawyers say about Trump's legal protections he will be afforded once he declares; it is the main reason King Donnie would run. Trump, the self-centered carnie barker, says he does not want to make a major announcement and detract from the elections, as he detracts from the elections. Sickening stuff. Won't it be fascinating to watch Trump squirm during and after the primaries when Ron DeSantis takes the lead? Trump is denigrating DeSantis calling him "Ron Desanctimonious." Trump needs to come up with something better than that. King Donnie wants to clear the field so he can breeze through the primary elections but the field will likely be far bigger than he expects. That is when and where Trump will likely receive humiliation and defeat from his own party that wants to move on from the clown show
Note Added on Tuesday, 11/8/22, at 7:01 AM EST: Pennsylvania polls are open for voting until 8 PM EST. Let the festivities begin. The Fetterman and Oz campaigns have spent a combined $250 million dollars this political season a new record. Just think of the starving people that could have been fed with that money. Fetterman is suing wanting the Pennsylvania counties to count the ballots that have erroneous or missing dates on the envelope. The majority of those ballots are likely voting for him. The republicans are going to court against Fetterman and a ruling on the matter may take a week to resolve which leaves from 1 to 3K votes in limbo. If the Pennsylvania Senate race is tight, with Dr Odd and Fetter-neck neck and neck late into the evening, the couple-thousand problematic mail-in ballots would become a major issue turning the Keystone State into an election mess. It is fascinating watching the final chapter of America's crony capitalism system play out in real-time.
Note Added on Tuesday, 11/8/22, at 10:00 AM EST: The US House of Representatives consists of 435 seats with the US Senate 100 seats (2 for each state) for a total of 535 corrupt lawmakers in the US Congress in Washington, DC. The House currently consists of 220 democrats, 212 republicans and 3 vacant seats. The democrats are the majority so Pelosi is the House majority speaker. She is toast after today's election and McCarthy will likely be the new leader of the House with a republican majority. There are 36 closely-contested House seats and polls suggest republicans will net 20 to 30 seats today. The Senate is currently split 50-50 between democrats and republicans (2 are independents but they side with democrats) with VP Harris the tie-breaker so the democrats are considered the majority with Schumer as leader. The control of the Senate is a toss-up with the result likely depending on Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona and Georgia. The stage is set and the voting game in America is well underway today.
Note Added on Tuesday, 11/8/22, at 11:14 AM EST: Arizona precincts report trouble with voting machines. The conspiracy theorists are in heaven given fresh red meat. The republican talking heads are quiet today so things may not be going as well for the conservatives as expected. Turnout is everything in the midterms. Republicans may only take 10 to 15 of the 3 dozen contested races in the House instead of the 20 to 30 expected.
Note Added on Tuesday, 11/8/22, at 2:00 PM EST: Texas officials say the turnout at polls is lower than expected not a good sign for republicans. The republican media outlets are quiet hinting that the red wave may be a red ripple. There are a couple of anecdotal stories of republicans that said they did not bother voting today since they are busy and it is supposed to be a huge red wave.
Note Added on Tuesday Evening, 11/8/22: Former President Trump's picks are not performing well except for Vance in blood red (republican) Ohio. Rubio should also win in Florida. Ron DeSantis is securing a reelection win. Trump will lose power and control over the republican tribe if his picks end up losing. It is time for the republicans to ditch Donnie. DeSantis has the ability to stay on message instead of saying stupid things like Trump. Democrat Shapiro handily defeats the republican Trump-picked Mastriano for governor of Pennsylvania. Mastriano has not conceded as yet. Is Mastriano going to pull the 'cry-baby Trump refusal to admit he lost' routine? Shapiro comically donated $100K to Mastriano's primary run to help him win believing that he could most easily beat the far-right extremist Mastriano. It was a winning strategy and one that political students will study for many years forward.
Note Added on Wednesday, 11/9/22, at 5:00 AM EST: Four US Senate races remain undecided. There are two senators for each of the 50 states so 100 total senators. The current count is 48 to 48 (2 incumbent senators are independents that side with the democrats). The four states that will decide the control of the Senate are Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin and Georgia. With 94% of vote counted in Wisconsin, republican Ron Johnson is at 50.5% and Mandela Barnes 49.3%. Johnson will likely be named the winner. In Nevada, republican Laxalt may squeak out a victory over democrat Cortez Masto. In Arizona, democrat Kelly is at 52.0% and republican Masters 45.9%. In Georgia, democrat Warnock is at 49.4% and Walker at 48.5%. The libertarian Oliver takes over 2% of the vote. Since no one will receive 50% of the vote, Georgia will likely go to a runoff election on 12/6/22, so the drama will continue for the next month. The libertarian vote skews slightly democrat so that may put Warnock in the driver's seat in the potential runoff against Walker.
Note Added on Wednesday, 11/9/22, at 5:30 AM EST: The New York Post (republican media) newspaper hits the streets with the front page declaring Florida republican Ron DeSantis the future of the republican party with the headline; "DeFUTURE; Young GOP DeSantis romps to victory in Florida." DeSantis is anointed as the new leader of the republican tribe. Donnie who? DeSantis, Kemp (Georgia), Young (Virginia) and Sununu (New Hampshire) are the new republican guard moving on from King Donnie Trump that will be left holding court over his Mar-a-Lago golf club during his remaining days. Trump said Kemp would go down in flames so Donnie will have to wipe more egg off his orange face. There was a red wave but only in Florida. Trump is the loser with his big announcement still planned for Tuesday. It will be interesting to see if King Donnie delays his so-called big announcement on 11/15/22. Trump's Hail Mary hope of being reelected to escape his legal problems is slipping away fast like sand falling through the fingers of his small hands.
Note Added on Wednesday, 11/9/22, at 6:00 AM EST: The control of the Senate will likely not be settled until the Georgia runoff election next month. Georgians deserve sympathy because they have to deal with non-stop political ads on television and radio from Warnock and Walker over the next month into a 12/6/22 runoff election. If the Senate remains as is and the republicans take the House, President Biden's agenda that creates the ongoing inflation can be stymied over the next 2 years. However, Biden will still be able to stack the courts with democrat judges since Senate control would not be lost, just like when Trump stacked the courts with republican judges from 2016 to 2020 with Senate control. You are watching the final throes of America's crony capitalism system that is corrupt to the core. Isn't it fascinating?
Note Added on Wednesday, 11/9/22, at 6:30 AM EST: Republican analysts and commentators are turning on Trump voicing displeasure at the flawed candidates he picked. Trump cares about Trump and pushed lousy candidates because they are the ones that will lick his shoes and kiss his orange butt if he returns to power. The biggest loser in the election, that was not on the ballot, is King Donnie. Rich republican donors are not going to give any more money to the orange head and instead are writing checks to Ron DeSantis this morning.
Note Added on Wednesday, 11/9/22, at 7:00 AM EST: Humorously, the pollsters got it wrong again. The red wave is a red ripple. The polls were about 2% to 4% too much in the republican direction. In the 2018 and 2020 elections, the polls overestimated the democrat side by about 3% to 4%. In 2022, they overestimate the republican side. Polling was easy when everyone had a landline phone. Now there are smartphones and the internet and pollsters cannot figure out how to accurately sample the electorate. Instead of a +/- 3% or 4% error always mentioned for polls, they should expand that to +/- 6% or 7%, which means they are not of much use. The polls said Dr Oz had the edge in Pennsylvania over Fetterman but that was wrong. Fetterman was the Better Man. Dr Oz concedes the Pennsylvania Senate race to Fetterman so good on him. Fetter-neck won victory over Dr Odd by a neck. Of course he did. Fetterman is tall.
Note Added on Wednesday, 11/9/22, at 8:00 AM EST: Trump says he has dirt on Ron DeSantis and does not want him running for president. King Donnie wastes no time pulling the republican tribe into the gutter. Donnie is a caged animal with his legal problems closing in around him. The Hail Mary plan to run for the presidency again, and receive protection from the legal issues, and being able to play the victim claiming that everyone is in a witch-hunt against him, may be unraveling. Donnie Trump is rattled now that he is threatening to provide the media with dirt on DeSantis his fellow republican. Trump is trying to clear the field for his run for president but after the poor showing of his personally-picked candidates last evening, republicans are out in force blaming Trump and saying it is time to cut the orange head loose. King Donnie decrees, "If he (DeSantis) did run I could tell you things about him that won't be very flattering. I know more about him than anybody, other than perhaps his wife, who's really running his campaign. I don't think I'd have any trouble defeating him." Americans are sick of the Baby Trump baby games. Beat it, buddy. Get lost. The Trump show is starting to look like reruns of the same ole schtick.
Note Added on Wednesday, 11/9/22, at 11:00 AM EST: Governor Ron DeSantis's acceptance speech receives a lot of attention and 'likes' on social media. DeSantis proclaims, "Freedom is here to stay. We have rewritten the political map. We reject woke ideology. We fight the woke in the legislature. We fight the woke in the schools. We fight the woke in the corporations. We will never ever surrender to the woke mob. Florida is where woke goes to die!" You may be witnessing in real-time the rise to power of the next president of the United States. The race to the presidential election in November 2024 begins today.
Note Added on Wednesday Afternoon, 11/9/22: President Biden conducts a press conference speaking about the election. Sleepy Joe is happy because the red wave did not occur. He says the House remains undecided but it appears certain that the republicans are going to take control. Biden proclaims, "Democracy is who we are." Sleepy Joe says he will do "nothing" different after the election. Wrong answer after you lose the House and perhaps the Senate. It is tone-deaf comment with 75% of Americans thinking the country is on the wrong track. As the Election Day smoke clears, the sign above the abortion clinic comes into clearer view. Exit polls are indicating that the abortion issue was more important to voters than political analysts expected helping the democrats. During the presser, Biden proclaims, "The pandemic no longer controls our lives."
Note Added on Wednesday Evening, 11/9/22: Republican Ron Johnson is declared the winner of the Wisconsin Senate race. Democrat-friendly media took their time to call the race for Johnson since they do not like his MAGA-style politics. And then there were three; Arizona, Nevada and Georgia. The vote count continues in Arizona and Nevada with Georgia headed for a runoff election between Warnock and Walker on 12/6/22. The control of the Senate will likely come down to the Georgia runoff election a month from now.
Note Added on Thursday Morning, 11/10/22, at 8:00 AM EST: Happy Birthday to the US Marine Corps. Semper Fi. The US election drama continues and will linger into next week before the results are known in Arizona and Nevada. Pathetic, isn't it? Delayed results sow doubt about the US election process. The winners in the Senate races in these 2 states will determine if the Georgia state runoff will matter. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues receiving positive accolades after the election while King Donnie receives criticism for the candidates he pushed on the republican party. Miami-Dade County in Florida has a large Latino population that voted overwhelmingly for DeSantis and his crusade over the sick wokism in America. Latino folks are family-oriented like other American households and do not want their innocent kids exposed to the woke sex stuff. "Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!" as Floyd sings. DeSantis receives high marks for handling the COVID-19 pandemic keeping kids in schools and making educated decisions that sometimes strayed from the Washington, DC, edicts. A pattern develops since republican Governor DeWine in Ohio wins by a big margin and also Kemp is reelected in Georgia. Competency was on the ballot. Americans want competent people in charge not bloviating figureheads that are all hat and no cattle. The three men have different styles of governing but since they are effective managers they are rewarded.
Note Added on Thursday Afternoon, 11/10/22: If the outstanding House races were called today, the republicans would have 222 seats and the democrats 213; a slim majority. The House will probably end up as 220-215 with the republicans the majority by only a handful of seats. McCarthy wants to be the Speaker of the House leading the republicans but his job will be difficult with a tiny majority. He bragged on election eve that he would be the new sheriff in town in the morning and days later he remains in limbo. The Senate stands at 49 seats for republicans and 48 for democrats with the Arizona, Nevada and Georgia follies in progress. Georgia is set for the 12/6/22 runoff election between Trump-picked republican Walker and democrat Warnock. If Arizona and Nevada go republican, the Georgia election is moot since republicans would have the Senate majority at 51 votes. If the two states split, that would be 50 seats for republicans and 49 for democrats. If democrats then win Georgia, they would have the same 50-50 majority with VP Harris the tie-breaker. If republicans would win Georgia after splitting Arizona and Nevada, they would have the 51 majority. Arizona and Nevada results should be known next week. In the middle of this drama, King Donnie wants everyone to look at him on Tuesday evening at 9 PM EST for his big announcement. That is a late time. Does he still think he is president and giving a major address to the country which sometimes occurs at 9 PM? Probably, the orange-headed clown is delusional and narcissistic. The 3 PM to 5 PM slot is better since the major news organizations would likely carry the speech or use it as breaking news. Instead, most Americans are winding down from the day and many will be in beddie-bye's already. Who wants to listen to an orange-headed bloviating carnival clown at 9 o'clock at night?
Note Added on Thursday Evening, 11/10/22: Pennsylvania exit polls show that 60% of the respondents disapprove of Biden and, humorously, 60% also disapprove of Trump. Tough crowd, tough crowd. Mastriano has not conceded to Shapiro in the Pennsylvania governor race even though he has no mathematical chance of being the winner. Mastriano follows in the footsteps of his leader clown Trump joining the whining, cry-baby sore loser refuse-to-concede club. What children. Independents did not break for the republicans as the polls and pundits predicted and the likely reason is folks are sick of the Trump election denialism. It is time to move on from the Trump show. People are sick of listening to King Donnie, sitting on his Mar-a-Lago gold-painted throne, say he won the 2020 election and they voted down the candidates that tout these Trump talking points. Boot-licker Vance in Ohio is an election denier that won but the state is highly conservative. Kari Lake, the 'Trump in high heels' that says the 2020 election was stolen, may win the governor spot in Arizona as the votes are counted. Shapiro beat the Trump-picked Mastriano like a rented mule but the loser will not concede instead choosing to play the baby Donnie game. Many Americans are sick of this garbage. Be a good sport and congratulate Shapiro and move on in life, buddy.
Note Added on Friday Morning, 11/11/22, at 6:00 AM EST: Happy Veterans Day! Baby Trump throws a tantum last evening on his Truth Social platform denigrating DeSantis calling him an average governor. King Donnie wants to discredit DeSantis and prevent him from entering the race for the presidency so he will have an easier path to the republican nomination. Trump says DeSantis has great publicists that make him look good. Baby Trump calls his likely future opponent in the republican primaries "Ron Desactimonious" repeating the name from days ago so Donnie could not come up with something better. Most Americans do not know what the ten-dollar college word 'sanctimonious' means. The New York Post (republican media) parodies Donnie on the cover calling him "Trumpty Dumpty" with the subtitle, "Don (who couldn't build a wall) had a great fall--can all the GOP's men put the party back together again?" The GOP stands for Grand Ole Party; the Republican Party. Trump also attacks Virginia Senator Younkin that may throw his hat into the presidential ring calling him Young Kin saying his name sounds Chinese whatever that means. Donnie spews on his social media platform last evening until he cries himself to bed. Trump sees the new republican guard marching forward (DeSantis, Youngkin, Kemp, Sununu) without him. The politicians, no matter which tribe, will be rewarded if they are calm competent managers. The baby diatribes and hissy fits on social media are getting old with Americans that want politicians to simply shut up and do a competent job for the people.
Note Added on Friday Morning, 11/11/22, at 11:00 AM EST: Most republican are unhappy with Trump lashing out at others in the party over the last couple days. Trump is starting to dig a deeper hole for himself because republican tribal leaders are worrying that the orange one will again ruin the Georgia runoff election like 2 years ago. Trump's whining about the election loss and lack of leadership during his final 80 days from November 2020 to January 2021 poisoned the Georgia runoff election handing the Senate to the democrats that then approved Biden's agenda creating the ongoing inflation, crime and southern border crisis. Republican voices are growing louder that Trump may ruin the Georgia election again only 25 days away handing the Senate to the liberals. Trump's big announcement on Tuesday at 9 PM EST is going to be a media circus probably just the way the drama queen likes it.
Note Added on Friday Evening, 11/11/22: The republican blame game continues. The 30-year old age group and older skewed republican but the force in the election was the young people 18 to 30 years old that skewed hard left. More women vote in elections than men. Abortion was a key issue but it is not so much that exact topic but probably more broadly that women are sick of silver-haired white guys telling them what to do with their bodies. The young folks will likely want to vote for free government stuff which will accelerate the collapse of America's rigged crony capitalism system. In the New York State governor race, republican Zelden lost by a hair and the blame is placed at Trump's feet. Zelden backs Trump's election denialism which turned off voters. Americans want to move on from the Trump clown show. Thanks for what you did, Donnie, now get lost. Analysts say if the republicans that left New York for Florida over the last couple years would have stayed in the Empire State, Zelden would have won. This is a new and interesting dynamic in American elections. Republicans are leaving the troubled democrat-run states but that only serves to hand the state control permanently over to the democrats. The corrupt two-party system is on its last legs.
Note Added on Saturday Morning, 11/12/22: Democrat Kelly is given the win in Arizona placing the Senate at 49-49 with the Nevada and Georgia races in limbo. The US House is at 211 republicans and 203 democrats. The republicans need 7 more of the remaining 21 seats for control. It is sickening that votes are still being counted in 21 races. It is American mediocrity on full display daily.
Note Added on Saturday Evening, 11/12/22: Democrat Cortez Masto is named the winner in the Nevada race so the Senate control remains with the democrats 50-49 with the Georgia runoff election on 12/6/22 taking on less importance. The democrats will either have Senate control with 51-49 or with 50-50 with VP Harris as the tie-breaker. The republicans blew it blindly endorsing King Donnie's picks that touted election conspiracies turning off voters. The orange-headed bloviating carnival clown continues the games saying that there may be voting irregularities in the Arizona Senate race. Shut up orange head and go away for the sake of the country. The Trump show is set for Tuesday evening at 9 PM EST where it is expected that he will announce his candidacy for president in the 2024 race. It is most likely that the showman will probably announce that he will announce his decision after the first of the year. This would be expected from clown Trump. He is likely going ahead with the announcement because he wants people to send him money (republican leadership is encouraging him to delay the announcement so the focus can remain on the Georgia runoff election but Donnie only cares about one thing; Donnie). If Baby Trump decides to run for president again, the number one question to ask him on Tuesday night is if he loses the republican primary, will he run as an independent? Donnie is a scorched-earth bozo that would create havoc and drama if he is not nominated by the republican tribe. He will burn the place down. Donnie was the kid that if he was losing at playing the Monopoly board game, he would slap the board from the underside tossing the pieces asunder, ruining the game, then storm-off while accusing everyone of cheating. That's Our Donnie.
Note Added on Sunday Evening, 11/13/22: Cry-baby Mastriano, that lost to Shapiro in the Pennsylvania governor race, finally concedes five days late. Better late than never, buddy. Mastriano lost because he was one of King Cry-Baby Trump's picks. King Donnie is having a very bad week. Also in Pennsylvania, democrat Fetterman disappears from sight after defeating republican Oz in the Senate race. To deflect criticism for his picks, Donnie Trump blames his wife, Melania, and television and radio talk show host Sean Hannity that cheerleads the republican tribe, for picking Dr Oz as the candidate. Trump is dumber than thought. No sane man would ever blame his lovely wife for anything. The ladies nod their heads in agreement. And Sean Hannity, that licks Donnie's shoes for the last 6 years, is thrown under the Trump bus. Thump, trump, thump. Hannity had Oz on his media programs almost every day for the last month before the election. Hannity must have felt an obligation to give Oz the biggest boost possible since he may have been cheerleading Oz's candidacy. Hannity and Trump screwed-up because Pennsylvanians do not vote for carpetbaggers. About two-thirds of Pennsylvanians thought Fetterman's stroke was not an issue while the same number considered Oz to be from New Jersey. The republicans blew it because McCormick would have gave Fetterman a run for the money; we may still be counting the votes. McCormick is a business man and manager and Americans want competent managers in charge even regardless of party. This is obvious because DeSantis, Youngkin, Kemp, Sununu and a few other competent managers won victory. People do not want games; they want someone that can improve their difficult lives that are getting harder each day. It will be interesting to see if Hannity continues to kneel and kiss the Trump ring.
Note Added on Monday Morning, 11/14/22: Former Vice President Pence is doing interviews with media, such as ABC News (democrat media), promoting his new book. He tosses Trump under the bus saying his behavior on January 6, 2021, during the Capitol Hill riot, was "reckless." Trump wanted Pence to delay or overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Pence claims he then turned to his daughter standing close by and told her 'it does not take courage to break the law, it takes courage to uphold the law'. Pence can put that on a tee shirt for his upcoming campaign for president. Senate Minority Leader McConnell calls a meeting of the republican tribe tomorrow. He probably wants to know who may want to challenge his power. Will someone in the republican party dare stand up to challenge His Majesty McConnell's leadership of the Senate?
Note Added on Monday Afternoon, 11/14/22: The Trump surrogates and sycophants are out in force in the media trying to right the Donnie ship. The Trumpsters are blaming McConnel and McCarthy for the lackluster republican election performance. The red wave was a red ripple, some say a red tinkle, or a red trickle; three synonyms of disappointment for the republican tribe. The Trump cheerleaders are obviously trying to brighten the picture before Donnie's big 9 PM EST speech tomorrow. Perhaps it is a late event because he is forcing the candidates that he endorsed to join him tomorrow. Many probably would not be available unless it was later in the evening. The knives and switchblades are out in the republican party. When you win, everyone is happy, when you lose, the finger-pointing and blame game turns ugly. Trump and his team are trying to throw McConnell and McCarthy under the bus. It is especially funny since McCarthy denounced Trump after the Capitol Hill riot but then went to Mar-a-Lago to kneel at King Donnie's feet to kiss the ring. Now Trump may jettison the kiss-*ss. That's funny. The hard-right Trump wing of the republican party is mad at McConnell for saying (before the general election) that some of the republicans that won primaries were of poor candidate quality (Trump's picks). Trump blames McConnell for commenting on what was obvious and what turned out to be true. The democrat candidates sent money to the radical right republican campaigns to help them win their primaries for gosh sakes. This is how Shapiro beat Mastriano so handily in Pennsylvania. Shapiro helped Mastriano win the primary and then beat him like a rented mule in the general. It tuned out to be genius strategy. Many of Trump's hand-picked hard-right people were rejected by voters. People want competent managers not someone who pledges to lick Trump's shoes. The Trump circus comes to town tomorrow with the orange head ringmaster clown Donnie planning a big announcement in the evening under the Big Top republican tent. If you listen closely, you can hear the calliope music.
Note Added on Monday Evening, 11/14/22, at 8:00 PM EST: Democrat Hobbs is named the winner in the Arizona governor race defeating the 'Trump in high heels' Kari Lake. Another Trump-endorsed candidate bites the dust. It will be interesting to see if Lake concedes the election. If she was smart, she would, since she can have another bite of the political apple in the future, she put in a good showing and now has national name recognition, but if she pulls the Trump garbage moaning about the election and all that dribble, she has no future. Democrat Stacey Adams hurt her political career for not conceding an election and just got defeated again in Georgia; she's toast as far as a candidate. A whining, cry-baby, sore loser personality is not an attractive trait. If Trump would have graciously exited after losing his election, more people would be open to his future, but he burned his bridges over the last two years destroying his likability.
Note Added on Monday Evening, 11/14/22, at 8:30 PM EST: The drama increases about the big Trump announcement tomorrow. Donnie sucks all the oxygen out of the room. His daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner do not want to be involved in Trump's new presidential run and the rumor mill says they do not want to attend the event tomorrow evening. They have to attend now because if they do not, that will be the big media story Wednesday morning. Trumps two older sons want him to run probably because they know where the bodies are buried over the years. An article mentions that Melania is not thrilled about another run which may take up the next 6 years of life (2-year campaign and 4 years in office if elected) but that information disappears from the internet hours later. With Donnie's popularity waning, and his own family in a quandary about him running again, versus 6 years ago when all were on board, Trump must be pushing forward believing his candidacy may afford him some legal protection. Donnie may think that the DOJ would delay an indictment if he is in the race for president. At the least he can make a spectacle of things claiming a witch hunt is occurring against him. Some Trump supporters are jumping ship saying that Donnie used to talk about America and the people when he was president but over the last 2 years it is all about him, his grievances, legal battles and other self-centered concerns. This behavior is turning people off. A new poll shows 42% of republicans favor DeSantis and 35% Trump. Two weeks ago, Trump bragged that 71% of republicans want him over all other candidates and that is when he spewed the name, "Ron DeSanctimonious." The landscape changes fast after the election. Two-thirds of republicans do not want Trump to run. About 16% of republicans would not vote for Trump if he runs. The republican leadership, and even the orange head himself, realize he will lose again in a general election, but the twisted parade marches forward. Some voters, that were leaning towards republican candidates, say the Trump rallies leading into the elections changed their minds. People are sick of the orange-headed clown show and when Trump inserted himself into the election build-up, it hurt the republicans. The never-Trumper voices are growing louder as Donnie edits his speech for tomorrow night with his Montblanc pen.
Note Added on Monday Evening, 11/14/22, at 9:00 PM EST: Billionaire Ken Griffin, a big money donor to political campaigns in America's crony capitalism system, tells Trump to go pound salt. The founder of Citadel hedge fund is backing Ron DeSantis not the news Donnie wants to hear before his big speech. Griffin proclaims, "I think it's time for the country to move forward. We should thank the president (Trump) for his leadership over the pandemic, but the President of the United States is not just about policies. It's about the procedures of the office. It's about bringing the country together. It's about unifying the American psyche. We fell short on that as a country in his administration. I really do hope that President Trump sees the writing on the wall. He lost in 2020. We lost Georgia because of his behavior in the Senate race in 2020. That's a second loss. And then this year, the Republicans lost the Senate because the Trump-backed candidates in the Senate races were rejected by American voters. That's a three-time loser." Griffin says the republican party should move on from the three-time loser. Ouch. As they say in Appalachia, "'dem are fightin' words." If the money bags are not opening for your candidacy, it is in trouble from the start. Griffin says the country needs to unite and DeSantis has proven that he has ability as a uniter. Republicans are jumping off the Trump train and onto the DeSantis bandwagon.
Note Added on Tuesday Afternoon, 11/15/22: The republican drama continues. Rick Scott is challenging Mitch McConnell for Senate republican leader. His Majesty McConnell, the turtle, will probably swat Scott away like a gnat. In the House, republican McCarthy's leadership is challenged by Andy Biggs. People say, "Who?" Biggs receives a small number of votes and McCarthy will go on to be the House leader when the final vote tallies for the outstanding races are known. DeSantis responds in a non-direct way when asked about the Trump criticism saying that it goes with the job and everyone should simply check out the scoreboard (election results) from last Tuesday (in other words, he beat his opponent by 20 percentage points while Trump's hand-picked candidates lost preventing the republicans from winning the Senate). Republican political analysts continue scratching their heads over the Fetterman win against Oz in Pennsylvania. Detractors call Fetterman a "brain-dead Shrek." Fetterman would probably laugh and say he's been called worse. Oz looked strange in a suit and tie since he was on television for many years in scrubs. Oz should have wore a flannel shirt, jeans and boots during some of his campaign stops and he would have been more relatable. Folks in western Pennsylvania are still laughing about the Oz commercial telling people to eat crudite salad. It looked like it was the first time Oz walked into a grocery store in 20 years, in his $400 loafers, and he even got the name of the grocery chain wrong. The calliope music from the Trump circus grows louder. The orange one is set to take the stage and reveal his big announcement.
Note Added on Tuesday Evening, 11/15/22, at 9:00 PM EST: Here he comes. King Donnie and Melania walking towards the banquet hall. Comically, the camera shot is completely obscured by the people at the event with raised hands holding smartphones. Hollywood Donnie likely choreographed the shot and camera position but none of the Einstein's involved realized people would be raising their smartphones (the camera angle needed to be set about 3 feet (1 m) higher). Melania is obscured from the camera the whole time and then Trump finally comes into view as he walks up to the podium with music playing. He stands at attention allowing time for the sycophant audience to cheer, applaud and adore him. Adoration is Donnie's life-sustaining fuel. Trump speaks in a subdued manner. The republicans say he was acting presidential but democrats and most analysts say it was low energy. Trump stands in sharp contrast to his June 2015 trip down the elevator and candidacy announcement in New York. He should have drank a cup of coffee before walking out because he looks tired. Comically, it looks like Donald Trump is tired of Donald Trump. Two weeks ago he had far more energy. The mid-term elections took the wind out of his sails. Ivanka was not there but Jared Kushner was spotted in the audience. Ivanka releases a statement saying she loves her dad but she does not want to be involved in politics. That is a good idea since no one wants her to be. Oddly, it appears that Donald Junior is not at the event. Trump tries to steer clear of the his 2020 election loss denialism but can he do that for the next 700-plus days? No. He probably will be mouthing off about being cheated in the 2020 election any day forward. Americans are sick of hearing that garbage. The country is crooked. Get over it. Newsmax, the republican news outlet, is all-in for Trump broadcasting the entire announcement but other media outlets, including Fox News (republican media), only cover small snippets. If declaring a candidacy, a lot more enthusiasm would be helpful but Donnie himself appears to be going through the motions. 9 PM EST is late with most of the old folks in that room likely wishing they were home in bed. And the orange one rambles on for 1 hour and 15 minutes way too long of a speech at one point proclaiming, "I'm a victim!" Trump inserts himself into the political arena again while the republican party wants to focus on getting Walker elected in the Georgia runoff election. Trump may ruin the Georgia runoff election like 2 years ago. Republican voters groan that Donnie is on the ballot again and may decide to stay home and say screw it while democrat voters are energized to vote against King Donnie. When will the republican tribe get the memo? Another big campaign donor sees the writing on the wall. Schwarzman, the Blackstone CEO, who has money to burn, says he wants to go with the new generation of republican leaders and does not plan to back Trump. Donnie has an uphill battle ahead without the Griffin and Schwarzman dough. Trump better hope that Walker wins Georgia because if that race goes to democrat Warnock, Donnie's candidacy may be over by the first of the year. Conveniently, Newsmax, that is obviously carrying Trump's water, declares the House race is officially called for the republicans with a 218-seat majority minutes before Donnie speaks. Other news outlets have not yet called the House race most say 1 or 2 more republican wins are needed for the 218 majority.
Note Added on Wednesday Morning, 11/16/22, at 9:00 AM EST: Fox New says the House race remains at 217 republican seats and 206 democrat seats. Other outlets say 217 republican and 209 democrat as the vote counts continue. It is sickening that after over one week, the US cannot finalize elections. It is enough to make you puke and is testimony to the last days of the rigged crony capitalism system. Trump benefited greatly in 2015 and 2016 from the free media exposure especially on Fox News and even the democrat outlets such as CNN and MSNBC. Trump will not have the media free ride this time around except for Newsmax and the rich donors are not supporting The Donald's candidacy. His family is not gun-ho about Donnie running for president again and his fan base dwindles each day. "Bless his heart," as they say in the South. Trump should be disqualified from setting foot in the Oval Office again after he watched Americans hurt and maim each other during the Capitol Hill riot and did not lift a finger to stop it. There is something wrong in that mind.
Note Added on Wednesday Morning, 11/16/22, at 10:00 AM EST: The New York Post (republican media) is delivering a message loud and clear to Donnie Trump that they did not want him to run again. The bottom of the front page mentions Trump's big night with the title, "Florida Man Makes Announcement; page 26." The Post does not mention Trump by name in the title and did not plaster his orange head across the cover, so they are telling him not to expect any help from their rag. America's media is going to snuff-out Trump by limiting coverage of his campaign. Trump is a fan of the New York Post (republican media) and is likely blowing a head gasket after seeing the Post cover.
Note Added on Wednesday Afternoon, 11/16/22: In a final vote within the Senate, McConnell remains the leader of the republicans and the longest serving leader although 10 detractors side with Rick Scott. Pelosi will make an announcement about her future tomorrow. The House contest is called for the republicans at the magic 218 seats to 208 seats for the democrats with 9 remaining. The republicans win the race but collapse on the finish line like Pheidippides in ancient Greece.
Note Added on Wednesday Evening, 11/16/22: Former Vice President Pence, hawking a book, says there will be "better choices" than Trump for the republican nominee for president and of course he is thinking about tossing his hat into the ring. The knives remain out for King Donnie Trump. Billionaire Lauder is the latest deep-pockets guy that says he will not support Trump's candidacy. Trump said that he wants voting to go back to paper ballots on the day of the election. Donnie is an idiot. One of the main reasons he lost the 2020 election with his lousy campaign was telling people not to vote until the day of the election and 2 years later he has still not learned his lesson. Even if he should get into office and force such a change it will take a while to implement. The mail-in voting, implemented during the pandemic, is here to stay since Americans are lazy and do not want to stand in lines at the polls on election day. The democrats were masterful in beating the bushes, going door to door, to sign up voters and instruct them on mail-in voting during 2020. Idiot Donnie told everyone to show up on election day; that's why he is no longer president. If Trump touts the line about election reform, it is likely a loser with the lazy American public.
Note Added on Thursday Morning, 11/17/22: As an excuse to cheerlead Trump and boost his image, his surrogates say the media mob will viscously attack any republican that becomes the nominee for president in 2024. The Trump sycophants use this argument to say that Trump has handled the media and is the best man for the job. That's stupid. If anything, the statement makes the case that it will not matter if Trump or someone else is the republican nominee since anyone will be attacked by the dominant democrat press. The "election season" continues with the House at 218 republicans and 211 democrats with the vote counting continuing in 6 contests. How long does it take to count votes? How long does it take to add votes and stuff the ballot box? It is sickening. Election integrity is lost when the vote counting starts to accumulate birthdays. It is American mediocrity on full display daily.
Note Added on Thursday Afternoon, 11/17/22: House Speaker Pelosi is stepping down from a leadership role in the House. Of course she is; she lost the election and is no longer in the majority. Get lost. Beat it. Younger leadership will step up to lead the minority democrats in the House. Pelosi should have retired completely but she will linger on representing the failed city of San Francisco. Now that she loses power, she is no longer interested in leadership. The republicans are the majority party in the House likely led by McCarthy.
Note Added on Thursday Afternoon, 11/17/22: Republican loser Kari Lake, the Trump in high heels, refuses to concede the Arizona governor race to democrat Hobbs and instead assembles a team of lawyers to look into the election. She lost the election because she touted the Trump-actually-won mantra, and now she touts her own I-was-cheated agenda. Americans are sick of this baby stuff. Lake had a political future but the whining, cry-baby, sore-loser refuse-to-concede image, like Trump after the November 2020 election, will tarnish her reputation, like Trump. Lake flies to Mar-a-Lago where King Donnie holds court. Obviously, she is genuflecting and kissing the ring hoping to be selected as Trump's vice presidential running mate if he survives the next 700 days. 'Tis kismet that the Trump in high heels and the actual Trump in wingtips are in the same room together. Two losers consoling each other opining about how dumb Americans are for not realizing their greatness.
Note Added on Friday Morning, 11/18/22: The disgraceful United States election season continues. The House is at 218 republicans and 212 democrats with 5 more contests pending. What a shameful display of American ineptness. Who knows when the votes will finally be counted? The Senate sits at 50 democrats and 49 republicans with the Georgia runoff election pending on 12/6/22. If republican Walker wins, the Senate is 50-50 but democrats have the majority since Vice President Harris is the tiebreaker. If democrat Warnock wins, the Senate is 51-49 with democrats having more power to stack the courts over the next 2 years. Emperor Obama stacked the courts with democrat judges, then King Donnie Trump took the task to the extreme stacking the courts with republican judges including three on the Supreme Court, and now Sleepy Joe Biden will stack the courts with democrat judges that will be approved by the Senate. Isn't America's rigged crony capitalism system sickening? The corrupt politicians, lobbyists, corporate executives, lawyers and judges run the country. Good luck to everyone.
Note Added on Saturday Morning, 11/19/22: The DOJ appoints a special counsel headed by Jack Smith to oversee the several ongoing Donnie Trump criminal investigations. Trump speaks at a fundraiser last evening calling the special counsel a witch-hunt and claiming all the different cases against him are hoaxes including in Georgia where he was recorded on the phone asking for the vote count to be changed sounding like a mob boss. Go get 'em, Donnie. It only took a couple days for King Trump to revert back to espousing his grievances from the podium making the new campaign about himself again. Some republicans are growing tired of carrying around Donnie's baggage. The Mercer family empire is the latest big-money republican donor to say they will not support Trump. Rats fleeing a sinking ship. The bigwigs are jumping onboard the fast and vibrant DeSantis speedboat.
