U.S. Politics, November 2022: “I don’t know, you hear the same things I do”

If Trump was impeached twice, then Hunter will be impeached THRICE

Knock three times etc.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Karen Bass has defeated billionaire developer Rick Caruso to become the first Black woman mayor of Los Angeles. https://t.co/FPtcXzHlsA pic.twitter.com/vryYKgzr93

he burned $100m of his own money!

loved it when Caruso said he wasn't just white, he was Italian which is Latin, which we all know is just one letter away from...

imagine what $100 million could've done for the LA homeless community

so happy Bass won!

Especially since it wasn't even close. Kinda great.

Anyway now it'll be time for another Congressional election uh wait hold on

(Or did she give up her seat already?)

[WA-03 loser] Kent suffered from a similar sort of insularity. He attacked sports fans, suggesting it’s not masculine for men to “watch other men compete in a silly game,” a view common in corners of the alt-right but unintelligible to normies.

lol, lmao

he was Italian which is Latin, which we all know is just one letter away from...

ATLien?

Latin, which we all know is just one letter away from...

lapin, ñ'est pas?

it also looks like Katie Porter won CA-47!

!

nice

Be nice if the Deep State could bump off 7 elderly Republicans in January.

we should call them

lag∞n, I appoint you to call them.

cool does anyone have contacts in the illuminati

Why don't we drop this subject...it's one thing to engage in badinage with these youngsters, but this sort of thing could be so easily misunderstood.

can we do jihad

more champagne!

Post thumbs up Osama to their accounts until they die of shock

god I just remembered that DeSantis is the guy who literally broke down film of Trump speaking so he could imitate all his weird little mannerisms. hoo doggy it's gonna be a fun primary

whaaaa? that is really weird

I mean, who wouldn't?

So he’s to Trump as Buttigieg is to Obama

^ otm punditry

Anyway now it'll be time for another Congressional election uh wait hold on

This is the moment when @KarenBassLA learned @AP_Politics declared she won the L.A. Mayor's race.

She was working at her L.A. congressional office. pic.twitter.com/WYEqMmF9DX

i can feel the monkey paw curling as a say this but trump v desantis straight up could get crazy, good chance trump will sabotage the situation if its not going his way, dont think theres really anything he wont stoop to

― lag∞n, Wednesday, November 16, 2022 2:13 PM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

this is what makes me think desantis won't run, and trump will clear the field (except lol pence).

on the other hand

Remarkable. The 2022 election sent Trump's favorable rating from an already low 38% down to 33%.

Among Republicans, Trump's favorable rating went from 81% to 71%, the lowest it's been since before the 2016 election.https://t.co/Ac6Y912uuq pic.twitter.com/HTW4iV0d1A

karen bass is probably going to suck as much as garcetti, but caruso is truly evil and it's good he set his own money on fire.

also good that the the LASD sherriff lost by 20 points (to someone who is just evil, rather than evil *and* a criminal).

and there are now three legit progressives on the city council of 14 (was two before this election, could have been four, but lol venice).

if you haven't heard the news yet, you might want to sit down.

it's about joe biden.

this morning, jim jordan announced that, as chair of the judiciary committee, he's going to be launching an investigation into hunter biden's activities. and not just hunter -- apparently this shit goes deep, all the way to the president of the united states. James Comer, who is an up and coming asshole on the national stage and incoming chair of the oversight committee, is also on board. “We are going to make it very clear that this is now an investigation of President Biden" he said last night during an interview with sean hannity, a wonderful journalist

Good morning!

i really should have put that within Hide tags. it might be a good practice to completely hide #huntergate inside tags for the duration of the breathtaking scandal

oh shit, Jim Jordan on the case.

When's that George Clooney produced Ohio State abuse scandal doc coming again?

If you think about it, Hunter Biden would never have been the son of the president had Joe Biden not become president. This goes all the way to the top. #offbrandon

Can only imagine they'll find a way to work his daughter's diary in there too. I'm sure this will be at least as productive as the Benghazi hearings.

anyone have any thoughts about pelosi/house democratic leadership? apparently she's supposed to announce it, any moment now

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/nancy-pelosi-future-plans-announcement-democrats-lose-house-rcna57573

The speaker’s plans are still unclear, but a source told NBC News that she took home two different versions of the speech she plans to deliver. She is expected to speak at 12:10 p.m. ET.

"We’re all waiting for white smoke from the Vatican," one senior Democratic lawmaker told NBC News.

the ole 'two different versions' trick, i love it!

The longer one is a Tom Moulton remix

has vibraphone and at the start she rips the fake one in half then commences

she's reading it now, and it just said "gave proof through the night that the flag was still there" and received very tepid applause

damn, i was hoping she'd go with the "now it's time to settle every single grievance, at length, you fuckers" version

two olds enter. no olds leave.

she's reading it now, and it just said "gave proof through the night that the flag was still there"

america is the most embarrassing country.

aaaaand she's stepping down

Helluva run. Best House Speaker since Rayburn and maybe even better than Rayburn.

Pramilaaaaaaaaaaa

The longer one expounds on her feelings re vampires vs werewolves.

i would just like to note at this point that hakeem jeffries is terrible, and will make a terrible dem house leader/speaker. is he running?

The real question is who among the Dems has her talent for iron control over the caucus?
