TBF, Trump is an expert on harassment.

Sinema is up 1.5%.

I heard the term Presidential Harassment yesterday. DJT took 2 little blue pills to get his rager going, but here it is. It is the excuse for everything. Aside from the market being really independent of a lot of thing including the president normally, the insanity and instability he is creating has plenty to do with the correction. It has nothing to do with how he is being treated.

McConnell used it in his remarks after the midterms. It's going to be their defense/talking point

How hard would it be for the Democrats to point out that every FUCKING time you put a Republican in the white house, the market in the end tanks. Nixon, Bush, Bush, and probably now Donald. And Ford had to boost the market by stoking inflation. And while Reagan had a good run, it fell apart by the end of his second term.

The DOW is still close to all time highs, I don't think bringing up the historical stock market performance is a good idea. Probably why the Democrats haven't said anything about it. Reminds me of people bringing up gas prices before the elections.

Charlie Cook, neighbor and a bit of an expert in these things calls SINEMA the next Senator from the state of Arizona.

Take that you anti lgbtq fascists!!!

Cook Political Report calls the state of Arizona for the Democratic Senatorial candidate, Kathryn SINEMA.

Long stretch of red behind the new blue Senator.

Analysis on electoral-vote.com in am.

The Donald is interested in being acquitted after his indictment ( known as impeachment) by the House of Representatives in 2019.

One more blue Senate vote makes acquittal less likely.

The Donald looked for pledges of allegiance from new red senators.

Said the Donald.

If you can't blackmail them you need to get a pledge of allegiance from them.

On last word the electorate was not having any of that. Not counting this state, the win rate for in those "endorsed" by the Donald is 24%.

The 2019 Senate will be either 53 red 47 blue or 52 red 48 blue. Florida remains in the not yet called bin. Miss will go red in the run off.

Currently blue added TWO seats, NV, AZ. Red added In, Mo. And ND. FLA WILL mark either a TIE in changed seats or a modest win for the red team in the Senate.

Mr. chief justice, this is a sad day in America. I must vote to convict the leader on my party given the thousands of crimes documented by the special prosecutor.

I move for unamimous consent.

Given the enormity of the charges and the mountains of evidence, the Republican leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, chose to instruct his party to affirm his unanimous consent motion to convict the President of these otherwise United States of America of High Crimes, and much more serious crimes.

Kirstjen Nielsen is reportedly out.

She won

Trump wants a new DHS secretary ASAP. Kirstjen Nielsen Has not moved fast enough on his illegal ideas letting the courts strike them down. I guess the theory thar possession is 9/10 of the law makes him think if he does it then it cannot be undone. Expect nrmally transparent things to be done in secret very soon.

I’d like to be among the first to congratulate Jared for Middle East peace becoming a shooting war. As Trump is fond of saying, “people said it couldn’t be done.”

McSally despite pressure from the Trump admin to claim voter fraud, gives concession speech

Or that the top federal tax rate was over 70 percent in the decades of Great Old America pined for by all these disgruntled whites

But Sean Hannity might say class warfare. Non starter

I cannot believe that Rick Scott & Donald Trump hate the military so much that they don't want their mail in votes counted. <snark>

It is widely assumed that if McSally loses to Sinema she will be appointed to John McCain’s seat. (Former and now again-current Senator Jon Kyl is just there as a placeholder.) In other words, McSally will almost certainly be in the Senate next year regardless of the outcome of this race.

Hmmm, I'd not heard that before. I expected that to happen, actually, right away, so it makes sense. The GOP writ large wanted the pokemon out come to gett'em all.

Took about everything I had to STFU with the person in the office who wants to know why they count these mailed in ballots after the election. That must be the Fox News talking point of the day.
