    I wonder if his "Look at me, I'm a charismatic boy wonder who's destined for greatness" thing will lose its allure now that he's lost three elections in a row.

    OMG are you gullible. It is thursday now. Polls closed 2 days ago. There are five days left until Trump says he declares he is running so traitor Merrick Garland has an excuse to not indict him because the next election is started. Biden is sleeping so he will do nothing to make his friends on the right bothered because that is more important than american law.

    There are no charges or indictments coming for Trump. It has been two fucking years and everything has come around has been repeatedly abandoned. Even if they do indict or even convict him the republicans will vote for him and the courts will let him run anyway. It does not matter. Nothing is coming. They would have done it already. It is all a fucking smoke show to confuse the hopelessly gullible.

    You fucking people are fucking hopeless in still believing in the dems. Does Biden have to sew you fuckheads directly to the republican human centipede himself before you admit you are all hopelessly gullible schmucks who believe the dems are not in this with Trump? You scum sucking pieces of Biden excrement are amazing. Stay in your fucking lane canadian biden bro.

    It is looking increasingly likely that Ds will have locked up 50 Senate seats going into the GA runoff.

    What does that do for turnout? Rs will effectively already ‘lost’ the Senate so will folks who held their nose and voted Walker stay home? Will Trump have announced? Does that motivate Ds more than Rs?

    He needs to beg for an appointed position at this point. Something to allow him to get on the cable news shows and rehab his image (and at least keep employed for a bit).

    Mayor Pete has been killing it.

    No one better than Don Rickles. Saw him on the Dick Van Dyke show just the other day. Fantastic.

    Boebert is less than 100 votes behind in Colorado. It's tight.

    Bobo the Clown is 386 votes ahead now, per the NYT tracker. The only two counties remaining that don't say ">95%" are both ones the Frisch is leading in, but they aren't large ones.

    Guaranteed there will be a recount. Apparently Colorado law requires it when the margin of victory is less than 0.5%.

    Just slightly off topic: the stock market went through the roof today after the latest reports showed inflation is easing. Just when the right-wing echo chamber thought things couldn’t get any worse…:lolol:

    I was thinking the same thing. I think they both lose voters in the runoff, but Warnock would have a better GOTV machine.

    Yes, but that happening after the election isn't terribly helpful to either party . . .

    While part of me wishes it had been released before the election as it would have helped the Ds I am glad our institutions are continuing to hold.

    Sadly, it's looking more and more like we'll be stuck hearing from the Bowling Alley Flasher's wife for two more years.

    True, I'm just looking at it from the standpoint of the Trumpista media types who didn't know whether to shit or go blind when the results started showing that the "Red Wave" wasn't happening and then having this piled on top. Nothing fucks up a good narrative like "alternate" (alternate as in "true") facts. :lol:

    Lots of stories about how Trump backing a swath of losing candidates mean that his control over the party is over and the future is DeSantis.

    Not sure I buy that myself, sounds to me like the political experts understand he's an albatross around their necks but the rank and file won't care.

    I’ve seen enough and I’m ready to call it.

    In her bid to be Governor of Arizona, Kari Lake (R) is a monster.
