Arlington is like 10 minutes' drive away too. That fatass toddler motherfucker couldn't just hop in Cadillac One and just drive down there? I hear that cars can stand up pretty well in choppy weather.

Somebody post the gif of her talking about how much border wall and ICE funding she voted for as a positive.

I'll forgive more than I should for Democrats but being bad on immigration is the quickest way to get on my shitlist and Sinema is there imo.

Dems just took Arizona, Mississippi is going to a special election that the Republican will probably win, and Florida doesn't know how to do voting so we're still waiting on recounts there.

Expected margin is 53R-47D which is an R+2 gain.

Edit: to be more specific, if Republicans win Mississippi and Florida, it will be R+2. If Dems win both then we could theoretically end up right where we left off, with a few seats swapped around. 53-47 seems the most likely outcome, though.

Also, Beto was within 2 points, that's insane

I was really hoping they could hold out at net zero but yeah could have been a lot worse (and would be without the blue wave).

But the big problem is it’s hard to look at a map long term and see more than 52 seats Dems can reliably take and hold. The days of holding 10 seats in a bunch of red states are over, so might ax well as the filibuster next time we get the presidency.

If the Dems don't kill the filibuster next time they hold all three branches the Republicans definitely will. May as well beat them to the punch.

I think the Republicans were intending to do it next year if this election went well since they were promising cuts to social security and medicare and had plans to revisit ACA repeal.

*waggles hand*

The filibuster is inherently and by definition more useful to the party that wants to keep anything from ever getting better, which despite what some people in this thread might say, is not the Democrats.

We're starting to get to the point where you can reasonably expect the Democrats to finish off the filibuster and McConnell still hasn't killed it, which suggests to me that either A) he's hoping the Democrats don't, or imo more likely B) he thinks he'd have two defectors on the topic because decorum.

calling that voter fraud rubs me the wrong way

it's illegal / shouldn't be counted based on florida law, but it's not inherently fraud on the part of the voters

it's arguably fraud on the part of the counters, but even then i'd rather not blur the lines

Are Presidents not driven places anymore? I remember seeing Obama step into and out of cars on occasion.

In DC and northern Virginia the pres usually gets flown from place to place because the motorcade is incredibly disruptive but they still did it from time to time when I was there and Obama was President, probably because of poo poo weather or he was going somewhere without a helipad.

The cops in the region have motorcades down to an art form that has to be seen to really appreciate. You'll be approaching an intersection when suddenly the light will change at an unusual time, a bunch of motorcycle police come screaming up followed a few seconds later by cruisers. Those will stop to make blockades against cross traffic and a whole bunch of other motorcycle cops and cruisers will be zipping by then suddenly the motorcade comes through at 50-60mph and the cruisers and motorcycle cops at the intersection will peel out leaving everyone to resume normal driving.

Jesus ballsucking Christ, how can you look at a government with all three branches of government lead by a majority of Republicans and not appreciate for one goddamn second the value of minority checks on power?
