When the dust settles on Election Day Republicans that lose will be sure to inform their followers it was because shifty, criminal blacks, perverted gays and Communist Dems cheated and stole their rightful victories from them. You know, so they’ll have the proper targets for their anger.

"…Nikki Haley ® declared that “we need to make sure we deport” incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) because “legal immigrants are more patriotic than the leftists these days.”

Is she patting herself on the back? Or, is she implying that Warnock’s (presumed) enslaved forebears weren’t legal immigrants? They may not have been, but not in the sense she may intend. And Senator Warnock was born in the USA to parents born in the USA.
Please proceed, Governor.

Oh please the day that Trump doesn’t make something about himself will be a true news day.
He also will wait to the last minute to announce one way or the other so the fools at the RNC keep paying his legal bills.

I honestly worry (slightly) slightly about this here in the wilds of far west Philly suburbia. I’m in a rural area surrounded by MAGAs, Mastriano signs and coal rolling pickups. That, of course, did not deter me from proudly displaying Fetterman, Shapiro, Houlahan, Muth, and Friel-Otten signs on our heavily traveled road. Certainly we could become a target. Hopefully not.

We’re trying to figure out what kind of mix she is. She is less than 3 mo old and a rescue from the Sanibel Island area after the hurricane. Was rescued a day before she was [to be] euthanized and brought to PA. She’s our sixth rescue.

Desafortunadamente, this country is not quite reality-based.

While it’s very usual for midterms to flip control, it will be quite the spectacle to reward a depraved party that attempted a coup and coverup to be rewarded with becoming a majority in one or both chambers of Congress.

Like I said, not quite reality-based.
