Genuine lol

xposts Surprised he doesn't call him "Rhonda Santis"

― “uhh”—like, this is an insane oatmeal raisin cookie “uhh” (President Keyes), Wednesday

genuine lol!

I've seen "Rhonda Santis" as a trending topic on Twitter already. If he started doing that it would stick for sure.

I endorse this message

Just got my first post-general election email appeal from Warnock - expecting 16,000 more in the next month

I've got two from him already today!

Every email I get is

'crying'
'Amazing news'
'Terrible news'
'Neanderthal, you ain't done shit'
'Proud of Neanderthal'
'The world is ending, $5 could change that'
'Devastated'
'Exhilarated'
'Horny'
'Let me explain'

James Carville: "Andy, you are my shit-list, big time."

*ON*

this guy wants him to run

Ron Jon silver. Da do Ron Ron. Ron Way Street. there are so many potential dumb nicknames. they don't have to make sense at all. Little Ron. stumpy Ron.

Wrong Way Rhonda is still blabbing about 'The Woke' - I guess it worked for him so he's gonna keep at it

Gonna say it: maybe changing the asshole’s name to a female version of the name isn’t the best strategy, iykwim. I know it’s just stupid but really, we have to do better than associate weakness and stupidity with women.

Plus Rhonda is a kickass name, don’t let anyone tell you differently.

Who is this "we"? I'm not gonna language police the Trump chuds. Whatever acts of fratricide and cannibalism they get up to are their own business.

I know you don’t like me, but people are doing it in this thread.

Only one so far. If it becomes a thing here, I'll stand with you and say folks should cut that bullshit out. But I have different standards of behavior for myself and for the knuckle-walkers. I want them to savage each other in as unappealing-to-normal-humans a manner as possible.

yes, was just extended riffage on Trumpy possible nicknames

fwiw i agree with you unperson, felt like the riffage was more extensive than y’all did, but it’s chill obviously.

it doesn't get much closer than this

yikes

I need you to find me 62 votes

in an unfortunate turn of events for Adam Frisch, under Colorado law any election within 0.01% must be decided by a gunfight at high noon

Wow the Boebert and Lake faces are super close

for some reason this infographic is kind of cracking me up

^^^ amazing

looks like there will be an automatic recount of the Frisch / Boebert race, unless one of them widens their lead

I need to see an infographic of the infographic trends! at what points in the day yesterday were influencers promoting and retweeting infographics? How far up our own asses can we go??!

xxp lol sleeve

am afraid with late votes Kari Lake might end up being Arizona's next governor, ugh

Heh

#PASen Republican Dr Oz raised another $5.5M in the first 19 days of October, including $1.5M in candidate loans.

Adding in the $4 million more he's loaned his campaign in the last few days, he's now put ~$26.8 million of his own money into his campaign.https://t.co/mBDqrfX6Pj pic.twitter.com/ftK77CAZGn

He’ll make it back shilling potions and powders on Fox News.

Also hurting Dems in the house was Supreme Court gerrymandering decision

If Republicans win control of the House of Representatives by current projections, their victory can be attributed to the Supreme Court's 5–4 order in February suspending the Voting Rights Act's ban on racial gerrymandering. https://t.co/lZ2QVWw3k5

Some House Republicans, like Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., are "just as happy with a slim majority" because it would benefit them, Politico reported.

"I mean, look at what Joe Manchin has done in the Senate as the one deciding vote, right? I would love for the Massie caucus to be relevant. If there's a one seat majority, my caucus has one person. It's me. So I can decide whether a bill passes or not," Massie told the outlet. "I'd be the wrong guy if you're trying to find somebody who's heartbroken that we don't have a 40-seat majority."

Far-right extremists like Greene and Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., both of whom have spoken at white nationalist conferences, would have more sway in a tight GOP House.

Have fun McCarthy making a deal with this guy.

What a bunch of fxxks.

Fuckin dummy, Manchin had more sway because Dems had both chambers so he could threaten to kill something that would otherwise pass both chambers.

If Dems retain Senate, most Republican bills that pass the House are DOA in the Senate anyway, so why would they bother to appease you when it's dead without your objection anyway.

(Yes I'm aware Senate isn't guaranteed as of yet, but...just sayin)

Thinking with his glock

If only there were a bill currently sitting in the Democratic-controlled Senate that would all but automatically award the Democrats one more House member https://t.co/AchYHqNFuE

So Boebert is still down by around ... 60 votes?

Supposedly the certainty some forecasters had about her losing was based on misinformation about how many ballots were still outstanding in one of the counties that was later corrected.

Wasserman got cranky last night

FWIW, anyone who’s proclaimed they’ve seen enough in #CO03 doesn’t know how to interpret election data.

— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) November 10, 2022

After last night's NV mail ballot trend, excellent chance now that Dems will have 50 Senate seats/control in hand heading into the GA runoff.

— Dave Wasserman (@Redistrict) November 10, 2022

If that's true, then Georgia Republicans have even less reason to come out; they'll be demoralized.

Assuming Mark Kelly's lead holds.

Wasserman seems pretty confident that it will
