Looking at the current election results have me prematurely schadenfreuding myself, but I can’t help it. I expect the White House walls will need a large amount of ketchup removed from them soon. ---

Out of curiosity I decided to do something I rarely do and check out the Fox News web site. I was curious how they were spinning tonight. Prominently, at the top of their home page, there is a grumpy picture of Trump from the shoulders-up, superimposed over a photo of the Capitol Building with these words in huge red letters underneath: > **Trump highlights the ‘power of veto’ with Democrats projected to take House and Senate** Talk about rocking back and forth in a fetal position with your thumb in your mouth. Republicans are crying themselves to sleep tonight and begging for a life preserver. ---

I’ve already heard Republicans calling for Democrats to “reach across the aisle” going forward. Good luck with that, fuckos. ---

WRT people complaining that Trump wasn’t on the ballot, I have two questions for them, I’d like to hear their answer to whichever of these two questions is applicable: 1)If you were expecting Trump to be on the ballot, what race did you expect him to be a candidate in? 2)If you were expecting Trump to be running for president in the 2026 election, who did you vote for instead? I’m WAGing here, but I’m guessing that for all of his stumping speeches he spent more time talking about himself rather than the R candidate he was supposed to be helping and just managed to confuse MAGA supporters to the point that they didn’t actually know who to vote for. I didn’t watch a single one, and I’m not going to, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they all were mostly him walking out on stage, mentioning the R candidate once or twice, and then spending the remaining two hours saying “me me me me me me”. [mostly, but not entirely, sarcasm →]Maybe Trump was right and people don’t know what the word ‘incumbent’ means. If they don’t know what that means, it’s not a stretch to think they didn’t realize they can pick the candidate with REPUBLICAN next to their name, even if they aren’t otherwise familiar with them (because Trump talked about himself instead of them).
