Politics...and Yesterday's Elections...

The Impeachment Inquiry is humming along...and we'll get to that shortly...but before all that and the Roger Stone Circus...

About Last Night...

(...and Kentucky replacing Blevin with Beshear...and Virgina Senate and House going blue...and Joe Hogsett (Dem) winning a second term in Indiana...and various and sundry other elections going Blue by almost midnight...)

Yeah...it was a late and celebratory night last night.

Babies don't sleep this good.

(...caveat...it may have also had something to do with two shots of Kentucky Peach Bourbon, too...)

Today the GOP trying to put a positive spin on all of it.

Deep Down...they KNOW.

And they Know that WE KNOW.

And Mitch "The Turtle" McConnell had to have unceremoniously shat in his shell when Vox declared Beshear the winner.

Kentucky...a BLUE Governor...OMG!!!!

Of course THIS GUY

Former Gov. Blevin (...and man voted most likely to be arrested and removed by The Fashion Police...)

refuses to concede.

DEMANDS a recount.

of course he does...sigh...

Fine.  
Then we will all get to watch you LOSE again...

Works for me.

(...and they call US snowflakes!!!)

And the news just kept on coming last night.

This woman

Best known for flipping off Trump previously and  promptly losing her job because of the one finger salute-to-the-chief...

Got a new one last night when she won her election in Virginia last night winning her seat on the Loundon County board. 

"If you can't join them...Beat Them"

And we flipped the entire Senate and House of Virginia...

Yep...now BLUE!!!!

Meaning the ERA is sure to be ratified in my lifetime...which is nice.

I was 13 years old when it was proposed.

I am months away from 60, now.

That's patience.

Of course, Reeves got Mississippi

Their Motto:  "We've been voting against our own self-interest for 100 years. Why stop now?"

But even in deep-red MS...Hood snagged 46% of the vote...so the state and her people are beginning to evolve...there is hope.

And the GOP, there, have to see the writing on the wall.

A few upsets in our local elections.  Bainbridge threw out EVERY SINGLE INCUMBENT. 

Joe Hogsett (in Indy) got his second term.

Democrats took Mike Pence's hometown of Columbus Indiana.

Yes...the times they are a-changing!

The momentum was palpable last night.

When we all rise up and vote...we win.

And face it...WE- THE PEOPLE 

are FED UP!

And The Tangerine-Tinged Tyrant tweeted this today

....uh...right.

"What color is the sky in your world, Donnie?" 

In all fairness, this HASN'T exactly been Trump's best week...or month...or year...

The Impeachment Inquiry is heating up.

Several of his insiders have flipped.

Even Bolton is offering him up like an orange sacrificial goat.

And the rest of us are here like kids on a long car trip

"Are we there yet???????????????"

Seeing Mom Pelosi and Dad Schiff exasperated

"No...not yet."

And quid pro quo has sort of been replaced by the term EXTORTION with
a lot of top-ranking officials testifying that Trump is, indeed, guilty of it...

Word has it that they are going to try to get this thing neatly wrapped up and bowed by Christmas.

Dear Santa,

All I want is Impeachment and Removal.

Love,

AMERICA


Yeah...we'll see.

Meanwhile 

This guy

Remember Roger?

Is just getting his jury selected for his trial.

And day one has already been a circus.

One man fell into a seizure during the process.

Then later, Stone left for the bathroom with GI issues...for the remainder of the day.

In his defense...if I knew I was likely to spend the REST of my natural life in prison...I'd probably have vomiting & diarrhea, too...

A Roman poet once wrote about how the masses can be appeased with bread and circuses (games).

Sadly, The Republicans STILL believe that.

Let THE Games, begin....
