There's a shack being sold by my mom's friend in Vining on East Battle Lake, that 10 years ago would've sold for less then $50k.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...m=.c6865482c79b
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — President Trump is painting an astonishingly apocalyptic vision of America under Democratic control in the campaign’s final days, unleashing a torrent of falsehoods and portraying his political opponents as desiring crime, squalor and poverty.

As voters prepare to render their first verdict on his presidency in Tuesday’s midterm elections, Trump is claiming that Democrats want to erase the nation’s borders and provide sanctuary to drug dealers, human traffickers and MS-13 killers. He is warning that they would destroy the economy, obliterate Medicare and unleash a wave of violent crime that endangers families everywhere. And he is alleging that they would transform the United States into Venezuela with socialism run amok.

Trump has never been hemmed in by fact, fairness or even logic. The 45th president proudly refuses to apologize and routinely violates the norms of decorum that guided his predecessors. But at one mega-rally after another in the run-up to Tuesday’s midterm elections, Trump has taken his no-boundaries political ethos to a new level — demagoguing the Democrats in a whirl of distortion and using the power of the federal government to amplify his fantastical arguments.

3) Enough governorships changed hands that calling a constitutional convention is completely off the table. People might not have realized it but the GOP was *this* close to calling for one, changing poo poo in the constitution, and passing it because they controlled enough states. This is insanely good for the long term.

Because I'm home sick with some kind of pneumonia/cold hybrid, I did some research on these Incel people.

2014, incel shoots up UCSB, killing 6.
2015, incel shoots up a Oregon community college, killing 9
2018, incels shoot up a Tampa hot yoga class and drive a van into a crowd of people in Toronto, killing 12 total.

That's 27 dead, x2 wounded in the last four years. Counting Thousand Oaks, 24 dead just this year.

So the Senate, at best, is still 51-49 in favour of the GOP if we win Florida (unlikely but possible), Arizona (looking increasingly likely), and the Mississippi runoff senate election (very unlikely).

So the count can range anywhere from 51-49 to 54-46. My money's on a win in Arizona and a loss in Mississippi, and we might actually get lucky in Florida if the GOP doesn't steal it.

I'm OK with losing Arizona, just for the love of Christ keep Rick Scott out of Washington.
