I just flipped this guy deeply connected to Russia and the Trump campaign. Obviously there's nothing more here.
500 responses in KS-02, and the Democrat leads by 1.
EXCELLENT result. We shouldn't be surprised, though. Davis won this district in his 2014 gubernatorial run even as Brownback narrowly won the state.

Mueller was a mole the whole time! Recruited by Mueller to spy on Mueller. Crazy shit!
Aww, shucks, pack it up folks. It's all over.
I actually think that tweet, batshit as it is, is instructive. He thinks the only way the Mueller can win is to take down Trump. It hasn't occurred to them that he's prosecuting and investigating a foreign nation attack our election. Or that a "win" for Mueller would also be to declare there is no evidence against the president, were that the case.
It's completely impossible for him to see the situation as it is.
Is he trying to be quoted in a Trump tweet? Cause this stinks like a Trump Tweet retweet?
I was thinking the same thing. It's wishful thinking and something Trump will love. Mueller and team don't leak.

Who is this guy and why should I believe him
He's a hack conservative radio host from New York. It's red meat for his/trump's base, not something meant to be believed by most people.
There is like...soo much fundamentally wrong with that comic
Oh right I should've known
Because you know Mueller and his crew aren't the type to leak "fuck we need to land this plane there's nowhere else to go"
That said if he does come up short? Please wait until after the midterms
Should've been "The Gang (Doesn't) Solve the North Korea Situation"
If he wins, he should park his ass there for as long as he can. Holding TX would be amazing.
Oh...it's a WITCH hunt not a witch hunt
I look for every opportunity to post this
I was gonna fucking say. He has done NOTHING in the public eye ever since he left office.
PR, VI, AS, NMI, GU, DC... split California in half?
North and South Puerto Rico
Do that for every territory actually

Wait - this finally breaks his cycle of zero joke plus literal signs on things. There's something arguably related to, but not quite a joke about the fact that Witches are hunting Trump , rather than Trump being a witch.
There's always the possibility that he just doesn't understand the term "witch hunt" I suppose....
The problem with taking every word of the Tangerine Nightmare as gospel truth... is taking every word of the Tangerine Nightmare as gospel truth.
Also, Presidential Alerts aren't going to end well for anyone.

Missed opportunity for "Hunt the Trumpus".
If Dems gain both houses of congress, what are the odds that Trump pulls a Slick Willy after 1994 and acquiesces to Democrats demands on major legislation for the following two years?
I swear if I get a 3am WITCH HUNT presidential alert, I'm gonna be pissed as all hell.
It could be even worse. After Trump leaves office is when you learn what political opinions were held because they made scoring points easier, and which ones were sincere.
Immigration motivates the Dem base now, but without a racist in chief, it becomes an issue that many Democrats are content to leave on the back burner, particularly as President Gillibrand lurches from one foreign policy crisis to another brought about by Trump's poor management. She comes in promising to end the camps at the border, and does manage to reunite a few more minors with their families, but local NIMBYism and the legal quagmire makes them almost impossible shut down. Family reunification goes from signature campaign promise to second-tier priority to something the administration and loyal democrats both prefer not to think about. When an influx of immigrants occurs in 2025 as a result of instability in central America, the camps start to grow again, and by this point immigration advocates find no support from a coalition that just wants the issue to go away so President Gillibrand can deal with the debt crisis. The 2028 Republican Presidential candidate intends to expand the camps and revive their worst excesses.
Someone who was 10 years old at the time will remind people on PoliERA that Kaepernick should have been more mindful of the public's sensitivities, so soon after Ferguson, after all. People will nod sagely, because the message he was delivering no longer seems as salient and because the people defending him sound a little bit like obnoxious right-wingers that insist on the right to be offensive in order to speak the truth.
The 2028 Presidential Candidate for the Democratic Party will have taken a controversial vote to approve funding for a border wall in 2019. People will be very cross when you question her progressive bona fides because of it.
Internet leftists will begin mocking the "rule of lerrrr." You share the distaste for right wingers appropriating the concept and screaming about it every time the government exercises any discretion whatever in executing its powers, but the arbitrary exercises of power it encourages will make you uneasy.
(Respectively, Guantanmo, Maher, Clinton's vote for the Iraq War, "Freeze Peach")
Post Credits Scene:
CUT TO:
A dark room, lit by the orange sodium glow of street lamps outside and the soft glow of a flat screen television within. The windows are barred. In the dim light we see walls adorned with positivity posters and furniture without sharp edges, everything safe and soothing; a mental institution. The television is set to some 24/7 news channel and chattering incessantly about the events we've just witnessed.
At the very edge of the illumination we see a solitary figure, seated in a folding chair, listening intently as the television details the collapse of the president and his children. The camera TURNS SLOWLY around the figure, who is hunched over and shaking as though crying. As we pan around, the camera ZOOMS IN to show the barely-illuminated face; in the soft light only flashes of blond hair are visible at the very edges.
NEWS PUNDIT (O.C)
... spells the end of the Trump Family. We'll be right back.The glow of the television suddenly increases as the program cuts to commercial, and the increase in light reveals more of the woman's face; eyes bloodshot and puffy from crying, eyeliner streaking down her face, but rather than sadness we see a manic joy; behind the eyes burns a madness unfurled. The figure is no longer crying but laughing, cackling as though completely unhinged. The camera pans downward, past white teeth clenched in a psychotic smile, the blue hospital gown flecked with old, dried spit and more than a little blood, to a name tag:
HI, MY NAME IS
TiFfanY
A DRAMATIC DRUM BEAT as we CUT TO BLACK:
Tiffany Trump (O.C)
(whispering) I'll fix everything... (a pause)Daddy.

I'm going to say screw the GOP and don't play ball. Only pass any required legislation to keep things running and the things conservatives absolutely hate with all their being.
They will turn it around and say look how great Trump is, the great negotiator, he's such a good President passing all these bills, imagine if we had Republican control of Congress (Democrats are "obstructing" right now so it doesn't count).
no california stays as is.
we could get 6. inhabited territories + dc.
Zero. It'll be a period of pure politicking. We'll pass bills to play to the base (like they did with all the ACA repeals under Obama) and never even bring up bills he wants. He'll lurch into campaign mode pretty quickly, and continue tweeting. Ideally we use that to win any 2019 contests, and then it'll be full steam to November 2020.
I wonder if he'll refuse to sign a spending bill and shut down the government.
There's no way that you can rationally justify giving every individual US territory full representation in the Senate. It's already ridiculous that a state like Wyoming with all of 500k people gets equal representation. Now you want to argue that Somoa, with less than a tenth of that should get it? Same with the Marianas and Virgin Islands. Now you might want to argue that the Pacific territories could be combined to be one state but that wouldn't make any sense on a logistical level let alone culutural one.
No ones going g to be angry enouph about every territory being it's own state
Is this about someone specifically...? I don't really see how "annoying person supports x policy and isn't a good spokesman for it" would be unique to socdems.
I say make dc a state
Split Puerto Rico into a north and south one and do it for the other territories too blatant idc
128 Senate seats fuck it
