Louisiana Dem Governor Wins Reelection In Yet Another Blow To Trump

Speaking of our perfectly fit, “superman”, “Phoebus-Apollo” president:

I’m thinking: old, fat, tons of junkfood, double scoops, etc… I’m thinking type II diabetic or borderline.

Two things about this:

  1. The result was too close for mere discomfort, never mind comfort.

  2. Edwards is no prize. Just to take one example: A few months ago he signed into law a ban on abortions as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, when many women don’t even know they’re pregnant. It’s a disgraceful law – and that’s even if we ignore the lack of an exception for pregnancies that result from incest, rape, and the like.

So …

Yes, it was a victory and the Republican would have been worse – but spare a thought for the women and girls who were betrayed … again.

I seriously couldn’t sleep until the race was decided. No national coverage, so I live streamed a local station to get the reactions. When you watch those pol’s… it’s positively cringe worthy. Rispone’s concession speech was so classless. He’s a vile, nasty man wrapped up in his bible.

I am glad for the win, but we have a long way to go with the electorate if nearly 1/2 the voters chose that troll over Edwards.

Most of the ancient world WAS sh!t, so it would have been kind of pointless as a story.

And how about Sen Kennedy’s screed? Who is the ‘dumb’ one now?

“You got to give me a big win, please, okay?” Trump pleaded…

How long before we hear him say, “Please clap”?

For those of you who don’t speak Southern, this translates to “Go fuck yourself, Donnie.”

Why, thank you for mentioning that because I’m dying to talk about the UNCONFIRMED REPORTS he went in because of chest discomfort. Unconfirmed, yes, not verified by the grownup official actual White House spokesliars, but man it makes a lot more sense than an impromptu visit to get the “first phase” of a checkup out of the way months in advance because you anticipate a busy 2020. Somehow that just didn’t add up. :thinking: Bless his heart indeed.

It is a cold morning, but they probably won’t need to turn on the furnace at the White House. Trump must be steaming.

Two losses in dark red states, a closer than expected race in Mississippi, and Sean Spicer on DWTS. If he were a gambler, he’d have two broken legs by now. This is the worst run of luck since…well, us, the American people since he was elected.

It’s a polite insult here in the Deep South. I use it from time to time. Some asshole does something assholeish…my response…“bless his heart”.

Unlike President Asshole, excrement has value.

Yes, this is another “big tent” situation. I was reading that his African-American support had increased after the primary and was a big factor in his win. Arguably, he has made folks lives better there, including African Americans, with his support of medicaid expansion And I’m told this was also a significant factor in his reelection. Nevertheless, he is no progressive or even a left of center moderate. Like Manchin, he’s the best we can do in his state. Inside pissing out rather than outside pissing in, but (In Scots accent), “Ah dinna think none the better of the man.”

I always love the shocked silence after a humiliating defeat when not even Trump can think of some way to explain why it proves how awesome he is.

The accelerating unawsomeness of our great leader. And the rebranding of the Trump brand - Loser!

Wonderful news this morning. Nothing could please me more than imagining heads exploding in the Trump family and Republican elites. But remember this is only a start. Lots of work still to do.

Why yes, there was. The hideous Copromaga, lord of the sewer world and patron of today’s republican party.
