One thing to note - it appears Democrats have a 21-19 majority in the senate. I believe I recall one of the chambers has no tiebreaker - is it the senate? If so, that will be a thin majority so there may be some stuff that doesn’t get through until 2021 under the new No Republicans maps.

The Lt. Gov breaks ties in the VA Senate

I think the House of Delegates has no tie-breaker mechanism

They tried this at Game 5 because he was sitting with a bunch of guys from Wounded Warriors. No one bought it then either. It will be plainly obvious who's getting booed to everyone except the Cult Of 45.

Yeah it's hilarious how Trump is such a coward that he can't even chase after his cheap crowd applause at a non rally event without having human shields like the Wounded Warriors or Are Vets to try and prevent boos.

I was listening to this this morning and a different part caught my attention. One of them was asked if the president having a foreign country investigate a political opponent was bad and the exchange was something like this...

CNN: Is the president having a foreign country investigate a political opponent bad?

Lady: Everyone other president has done that, so no I don't think it's bad.

CNN: I don't know if we know that that's true.

Lady: Well I'm sure they did.

CNN: But we don't know if that's true. Do you know if that's true?

Lady: I don't know if it's true either. But I bet it is.

Texas just had an election and it was mostly propositions and local mayoral stuff but we passed by 3/4 a new amendment banning personal income taxes. So I guess "us too?"

it wasn't new, exactly, it further codified existing difficulty of passing an income tax in a suspiciously worded way

Ever to conquer, never to yield.



Is that a national number or a Kentucky number? I can't tell, but I'd bet it's national. I imagine it's better for him in his home state.

Bevins losing by tying himself to Trump is a good sign, though. There's no one in Congress that's closer to Trump than Turtle.

Let’s just say that it’s a very very good sign that the suburbs in these swing states are continuing to show a significant snap back toward Democrats. Because their middling to bad performance in 2016 is what tipped the scales and allowed the rural people to ultimately win it for Trump.

Turnout is going to be the key. In 2016, many of the screens and models assumed a similar turnout to 2012 among black Americans, which was really foolish in retrospect. I hope that the "gently caress Trump" factor plus 20 million new 18+ year olds shifts the needle in the opposite direction. Wouldn't be terribly surprised if Texas and Kansas go blue

I'd think the most ideal thing would be for everyone to fall silent and take a knee as the president passed, and then resuming cheering once the rest of the parade came. Alternatively just turning their backs. Maximum mad.

They’re definitely going to make sure it’ll be a crowd of pro-Trump people lining the front rows of the streets while Trump “walks”.

Although I’d love to see it filled with people who despise his guts and boo the ever living poo poo out of him - to the point where Trump probably either flips someone off or abruptly exits the parade.
