Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Biden: Oh no. We’ve upset Big Pharma again.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Let there be snark.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

It looks like winning debates is a black job!

“woke” is the new caravan.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

People are weird.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

You are here: Home / Economics / C.R.E.A.M. / Don’t mourn, organize. Don’t celebrate, organize.

    Fox News projecting that the Dems will control the House is uplifting.

    NBC gives it an 80% chance for Dem control of the House.

    This is all good.

    Citation is needed for history being on our side.

    Ultimately there’s a very strong rural/urban divide and we live under a system that gives the rural areas a massive advantage. I don’t see a workaround.

    The thing that surprises me most so far in the House is that, by 538’s classic estimate, every candidate with a 50% or greater chance of winning has won in races called so far. All of them. Zero upsets.

    I want to thank you again for giving us the opportunity to donate funds to so many candidates. We’ll never know the difference you may have made.

    It ain’t a wave…but frankly, when it comes down to it, all we need is 218 and the emergency brake will have been THROWN.

    I just need a Dem Congress for Mueller to give his report to, and two years of Trumponomics playing out as predicted. Add in 1M+ new Dem voters in Florida and we will hand the GOP their asses in 2020.

    HOWEVER…I cannot spend 2 more years in a blind rage over this sorry excuse of a country…no, that’s not right. This sorry excuse of about half of all our current voters, not our country as a whole. So, here’s to them – the GOP faithful, the unrepentant racists, the proud ignorants – dying off in record numbers, here’s to us continuing to inspire young people, and here’s to truly turning the page in 2020.

    The FTFNYT finally put the dreaded needle up, and it says Democrats have a >95% chance to take the house, and right now they have the Senate at 53/47 Rs. I think we need to remember that this was supposed to be a bloodbath in the Senate for Democrats, and a gain of two isn’t great.

    It is truly the fight of our lives, for the rest of our lives. Even for the lives of those much younger than me. Evil is never vanquished, it must be beaten back regularly. Sometimes it gains a few steps, especially when good people are convinced the war has been won.

    Whatever the outcome of today’s battle, suck it up, take a breath, and hit it again.

    Thanks to all here for the sanity and the focus. These have been hard years.

    It should be clear to everyone by now that Trump has a strong constituency and 2016 really had little to do with the quality of Hillary as a candidate.

    Dems pick up NJ-11, used to be Rodney Freylinghausen’s for pretty much ever

    and repeating: Sharice Davids wins IN FREAKING KANSAS. First Native American woman ever elected to Congress. That in itself is worth celebrating. And in KANSAS!

    ETA: @Baud: white people who don’t want to admit they support him

    @Baud:
    I’d like to think that a less damaged candidate (not her fault!) would have won. Of course, how much Russian fuckery had to do with Trump’s winning in those right states?

    Bye asshole.

    In Pauley Pavilion (and I miss the old Pauley; some things need to be left alone) it would be (on a foul out or DQ):

    So Long, Chief!

    @Cheryl Rofer: The courts de-gerrymandered Pennsylvania’s congressional districts for this election. I think there are still several more potential pickups, particularly in the Philly suburbs.

    @Cheryl Rofer:

    And California has more mail-in ballots every cycle. It takes days. I forget how long it took before we were sure we had Senator Kamala, but it was an agonizing wait.

    Is there a good source to see the tally of seats gained/lost?

    @?BillinGlendaleCA:

    They don’t do that anymore, at least the chief part.

    Bummer.

    If you went to any games, do you remember Frisbee (?) at the games? For non Bruins, Frisbee was not a flying piece of plastic.

    Frisbee was always great, occasionally brilliant.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: I really like Schiff. The first time I saw him interviewed on NPR, I thought “Who is that guy? He sounds knowledgeable and reasonable.” Why isn’t he mentioned more among the prospects for president in 2020?

    I’m thinking 2005.

    After my time.

    Pickup in Pauley was legendary. Many pros showed up for the A game. I only ventured onto the A Court once and was dunked on so hard by a kid from Marquette I never did so again.

    I only got on the Court years later (in Manhattan Beach) with some Clippers and Lakers to get my ass kicked.

    You ever watch a WWII doc or movie and wonder how folks missed the cues and didn’t get out sooner?
