I think it's generally good advice to unplug from politics and enjoy your life.

The silver lining of a slim House majority is no silly impeachments that go nowhere and annoy moderates.

Wth, how do we still have 58 races without a declared winner the day after the election? This is an embarrassment.
This seems appropriate.

All the other type voting is a Lib scam.
Yep. I am even fine with a few days of early voting showing an ID at your precinct and voting early by machine. Mail in votes should be for those who are verifiable legal residents of the state and either out of town (military, in college, on business) or in some way incapacitated (assisted living, nursing home, hospital) and could not otherwise vote. This would be a small fraction of votes.

The drop in vote stuff just needs to end. If you can get to a drop off box, you can go inside, show your ID and vote just like the rest of us can.

If a huge state like Florida with all of the military voters along with two times zones can get election night results, so can the other states.

Pelosi belongs in jail, voting on bills; then buying stock...blatant insider trading.

And the kicker is, the corrupt woman doesn't have to report this for 28 days BY LAW.
But heaven forbid Martha Stewart does the same.

The independent vote was essentially split close to 50:50. It suggests that neither party platform is especially satisfactory to the majority.

Metaphorically speaking, "The Wicked Witch is Dead."

As far as actual change in power, it's a ginormous GOP win, just not as much as I and my Repub colleagues thought we would get.

Oh, but Nancy "didn't know" that her husband was buying those stocks. And, of course, her husband had no idea about the bills that Nancy was fighting to get passed.....

How dare we all even question that!

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if a Democrat posted it. They make up stuff to make GOPers look racist. Interestingly, I am reading about how racist the Democrats were in a book called Boss about mayor Richard E. Daily during the civil rights era. It's a good read. Highly recommend.

Lol, sure. They can waste their time doing that. Better than creating new government programs, restricting peoples freedom and increasing taxes.
