Official 2018 US Election thread

I'm hearing Snotty Walker's reign of Kochwhoring terror is finally over. Details as they come in....

BREAKING: Democrat Tony Evers wins election for governor in Wisconsin. #APracecall at 1:24 a.m. CST. @AP election coverage: http://apne.ws/APPolitics #Election2018 #WIelection

So Nancy Pelosi becomes the face of the Democrat Party. Haha! Yeah that's a real asset. Just means plenty of crazy antics in the house for two years which believe me, will be nothing to brag about in 2020.

[Nitro Express]

The Senators who lost tonight were idiotic corporatist DINOs who vote with Repukes on most of the important issues, so it's not like their replacements will be voting any different.

On the other hand, it will be interesting to see whether the House Democrats grow a collective set of balls and appoint all the leadership positions directly from the Progressive Caucus. If they want to hold on to their majority past 2020, they damn well better do that.

Nothing is going to change. We will have stalemate and a freak show for two years. Most politicians are bought and owned. Today politicians are above the law. Look at what Hillary has gotten away with. Not just her but many others. Until crooks in political office go to jail for their crimes nothing changes. We ignore the real crooks and waste time having investigations on people they can't dig up any evidence on but the people drowning in evidence of their crimes get away with it.

Since the Democrats hold the house there is something they need to look into. Government agencies getting direct funding from the Federal Reserve bank. Some of these agencies no longer get their money appropriated by the house but they get it straight from the Fed. All sorts of crazy stuff going on and nobody does anything about it. We have an agency government where the agencies answer to nobody. The US congress today is pretty much a joke of paid off shills who look the other way. They only seem motivated to slag their political competition but this is just a bunch of vultures fighting over a carcass.

As I understand it this is good for your democracy because the Republican gerrymandering in Wisconsin is appalling even by US standards.

[Seshmeister]

We're at the point where I honestly had to check if that was a real tweet or not.

[FORD]

Wisconsin is ground zero with Koch corruption. It was a reliable Democratic state not long ago. Hell, even the football team there is public owned! (Green Bay Packers). It's great that they finally get rid of Snotty Walker, but unfortunately, another dumbass jock with a face like a 12 year old will be replacing the "retiring" Eddie Munster Ryan instead of the "iron mustache" Randy Bryce, who supposedly had a huge lead in the last polls I saw.

As far as the gerrymandering goes, Wisconsin is probably not as bad as some. The shapes of the districts make sense for the most part at least. Though if you look closely at the map, there are a few areas where the borders between districts get a little squiggly.....



Not surprisingly, some of those squiggly lines are in Waukesha county, where a rabid Kochwhore county official named Kathy Nicklaus has habitually manipulated elections for years now.

[FORD]

Things went better in the Kochs' other favorite state, Kansas. Apparently, even the rabid right wingers in Tornado Alley didn't want noted election stealer & overall racist douchebag Kristopher K. Kobach as their governor. First time they have elected a Democrat in decades, no doubt.

While the "Dems" may have a victory I fear it will be short lived with the likes of Perez and Pelousy at the helm. If the "Dems" have any balls at all they would fire both these corrupt fuckers and install new blood (under 30) and politely show them the god damn door. Pelousy is a straight up media whore like the F A T Orange man only he knows how to work the media where she caters to her pseudo-intellectual elitists. Even with this victory it rings hollow as not one god damn Democrat has spoken much on how they are going to improve this country and repair the damage done by the F A T Orange man.


Meanwhile, Colorado elected its first openly gay gov and flipped the Senate to blue. Now if we can just get rid of these god damn F A T fundies and Texans and Californians and east coast fuckrats

Pooty's favorite congressman Dana Rohrabacher apparently lost his house seat. He was also Hagar's favorite congressman, so maybe that explains what the name "Red Rocker" was really all about.

No fucking way. If true, that is wonderful news.

Oh, it's real all right. Like Gateway Pundit real.

Not going to happen. The old fucks are too power drunk and they don't want to give it up to some young whipper snappers. What they could do is work with the Republicans on some legislation that would appeal to the Democrat base. They won't do that. They will make the same mistake the Republicans did with Bill Clinton. They will get a house majority impeachment and harass members of Trump's family and staff with indictments and waive that around before the 2020 election. The Republicans waived around Bill Clinton's impeachment and the Republican voting base was pissed because time was wasted on that bullshit instead of real issues that matter. So with the current Dems in charge winning back the house is just going to give them enough rope to hang themselves with. Meanwhile we will have two years of stalemate with nothing being done. Fine with me. I like nothing better than screwing things up more.
