Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

While I don't think the midterm elections are about the SCOTUS at all, having a more solid majority in the senate bodes well for the prospects of the next confirmation vote. Now we just have to hope that the old witch vacates her seat on the bench, sooner rather than later.

The spin in the media is outrageous, on both sides. Is there any unbiased journalism out there?

It seems no-one won yesterday. Blue wave definitely did not materialize, but the republicans lost their ability to govern now anyways.

Woe to this country. The whole world is standing and laughing at us.

Presidents Clinton & Obama lost both houses in their midterm elections and they went on to get reelected and govern pretty well.....

The government was set up with the possibility of a split Congress in mind. Maybe this way the people will win rather than party. it forces compromise.

True. Better chance of gridlock. My point was that there is no laughingstock. It was designed to work this way.

That is why I was glad to see the D's take the house. Never a good thing for one party to control everything.

At this era in time and with the mentality of humans I believe we're just going to be stuck  in a huge gridlock and next to nothing will get passed in the next two years.
And I can't imagine Dems working with Trump.
I'm not who you think I am.

While it's not a blue-wave, Dems did pick up 7 governorships as well as the State Senate in NY (giving them full state control). Sure a couple high-profile races didn't go their way, but it's not nothing.

They took a beating in senate races but are like pigs in sh*t with the others. The Kool-Aid drinkers will never see it that way.

The senate was a bad map and had they kept the losses to -1, Dems would be in good shape for a trifecta in 2020 since the map is brutal for Republicans in the senate in 2020 (all the 2014 red wave seats up for the first time). With a - 3 or - 4 most likely, even if Dems keep the house and flip the White house, the senate could fall short.

I posted earlier how the D's had 26 seats up vs 9 for the R's. Kool-Aid drinkers just dismissed that as meaningless. As you have stated it will be flipped for 2020 and bet then they will say it matters.  :)

Correct, but only in an era of normalcy. The D's won't extend any olive branches here. We are headed for two years of subpoenas, investigations, accusations etc. while the whole world laughs even harder...
