Did I mention that I like this trend? Of course not because I absolutely love this trend. There! I said it!

Oh, hole-lee fuck! Her district is up close to where I used to live!! My brothers are shitting their pants, I’m betting. It’s a wonder they haven’t called me. LOL! (to razz me, not to yell)

Meanwhile I’m pretty sure there are some dipshits claiming we need to move past “identity politics.”

Savor the irony: The man Danica Roem defeated was a proponent of a “bathroom bill” in VA.

Isn’t he the one that refers to himself as the “Homophobe in Chief?”
Sad!

Not irony, that’s poetic justice

By stressing the first ‘open’ transgender, are they suggesting that there are a few closeted transgenders?

Also in Virginia, like the Governors race which precludes a fluke. The times they are a changin’ and the good guys are making a roaring comeback.

We have to kill this tax bill nonsense next because it should be killed and because it represents a very important nail in the Trumpian/Republican coffins.

Okay…not state. But still…twice in the same night.

Now, I know I live in a coastal area. And regularly visit the beach. But someone remind me…

What do waves look like when they are forming?

Trans black woman to be even more precise and yet another in Virginia, just outside of DC too so its basically hitting home.

When Trounce flies out of country, people vote. How nice.

Man, I would hate to work in the WH when he comes home. Indictments flying and voter rejection combined.

This is gonna really stress the breaking point of his ego not being able to dominate reality.

I just want the cameras rolling when the combined stroke and mental breakdown hit at precisely the same moment. With SHS standing nearby yelling “This is his happy face! This is his happy face!”

Yeah, I doubt things are going swimmingly where he is. He doesn’t like travelling or doing his job and he can’t help but embarrass himself daily and now all this.

Its like, BANG! goes the dynamite.

She was on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show tonight and spoke forcefully and convincingly for inclusion and compassion and winning local elections by running on progressive approaches to local issues. I was impressed and moved.

Something I have been playing out in the back of my head this week…Trump is going to be meeting Putin near the end of his trip. When he is worn out. Something Putin no doubt planned.

That’s going to be really ugly now. And he dare not cancel.
