OK, so I'm watching the Vincent Price version of "Masque of the Red Death", and there's a seen where this knight is trying to teach this peasant good guy to fight his friend for the amusement of Price's character, and they are in Price's torture dungeon and Price is a satanist

Anyway, the knight looks like a younger Ted Cruz, he's cutting the peasant for fun

yeah today i think not only did the last red seat containing part of orange county go blue (for two years, anyway), but the last republican state legislator in the bay area (lvermore-ish) lost the lead in her race. there's a chance the democrats take CA's 21st congressional district, too, but dont hold your breath. elections nerds are making fun of mimi walters in CA45 in the OC for narrowly winning the election day ballots, immediately launching a bid for NRCC chair or whatever the gently caress, then conceding defeat like 10 days later

the california gop is deader than it was even a week ago. even if/when they come back from this, they don't have many great targets for expansion that i can see. they might have trouble staying out of the superminority even in non-wave elections soon

https://twitter.com/catargetbot has little images with info from every single drop, fun for the post-election-day election which is apparently more fun than the election day election

I know this sounds minor, but I'm so used to competitive Congressional races only being a thing that happened to other people.

I'm in one of the diehard Republican areas so the Dems lost basically everything but even still we managed to not vote for the super terrible state school superintendent.

Sorry that's not super happy, I'll try to find something when I wake up.

good news: both Kansas Cities (Kansas City's? Cities Kansas? Kansases City?) are represented by Democrats in the 116th Congress

edit: also I just saw some article about this being the most female legislators at the state level in history, lemme grab it

https://www.apnews.com/24abb3ff2db04ea388fc1b00e767ce27

article posted:

More than 2,000 women will serve in state legislatures when those chambers convene for their upcoming sessions, representing roughly a quarter of all state lawmakers across the country. That mark will eclipse the record of 1,875 who served this year, according to reports Thursday from the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

The number could rise as ballot-counting concludes in close contests across the country. The Associated Press has not yet called 216 state legislative elections, races that include about 185 female candidates, according to the center.

In another first, women could end up holding the majority in two state legislative chambers at the same time — the Colorado House and Nevada Assembly, according to tallies by the center and the National Conference of State Legislatures

So Trump's last ditch efforts to stop discovery in the emoluments clause case filed against him have failed. That means a bunch of Trump organization financials related to his family profiteering off the presidency are going to come out in the next few months.

Some might say "Life comes at you fast". But I really, really like the fact that sometimes life takes a while... only because it's trying to find just the right timing to really gently caress people over. People in the Trump thread often said that Trump and his children would probably continue living a life of luxury long after the Trump administration is done, but given how he's been making GBS threads on all the wrong people at all the wrong times, I'm starting to have 2nd thoughts.

Also, does anyone have that Maxine Waters "Hi, Donald :colbert:" image? I think this thread could use that image.

quote:

He won by 694 votes, or a margin of 50.129 percent to 49.871. That margin of 0.258 was just barely outside the 0.25 percent that would have allowed Love to request a recount.
