US Politics

It's always exciting to vote in the US these days to see if my picks for Savannah mayor & my alderman at large comport with Hugo Chavez's wishes.
 
This is literally all that MTG does other than appear on all the right wing shows. She doesn't even pretend to be interested in governing or passing a bill that will actually get anywhere.
 
Ohio seems to be an up and coming place - voted to put the right to abortion in the state constitution and to legalise recreational marijuana.

Kentucky re-elects a Democratic governor and rejecting Trump and MConnell's guy in red state

Real results in elections beats polls any day and it sure looks like abolishing/restricting aborytion rights is a vote loser for the GOP

How she won 66% of her district is baffling.

America truly is FUBAR.

Surprised I’ve never seen that article before.

I was wondering what to do for lunch, a triple order of WH hash browns scattered, smothered, & covered with a patty melt seems perfect right now.

Historically, Waffle House has been the go to destination for a 3am breakfast after heavy night of partying, and there's no Dennys or iHOP nearby.

Not when you know where her district is, I have the misfortune to travel thru it on a regular basis, it's a bastion of gun toting rednecks and religious nutjobs, it's prime MAGA country

It takes a special kind of self-loathing to go to WH in the daytime & not with a hangover.

Yeah, I think Marge will be in Congress for some time. She's in a red district during an era where the Rs are only getting crazier, so there won't be much in the way of moderate R pushback against her in her district. As for state wide, I don't think she would stand a chance. Her best grift is to continue wumming it up on social media, then fundraise off it (nevermind actually governing).

I'm a little surprised that she only got 66%, she has zero chance statewide in the near/mid future, Kemp is in office until 2027 as Governor and running for the senate in GA is a stretch and 3 years away

The E & SE portions of her district include the exurbs of Atlanta which help a bit to offset the ruby red portions of her further NW area.

GA is one of the formerly red states that is trending blue because it has a large population center. It will probably become fully blue at some point just as Colorado did a decade ago and AZ seems to be doing more recently. Both also have large population centers.
 
McForehead. The gift that keeps on giving all the way through 2024.

Is anyone shocked that a failed restaurant owner that was seemingly elected on nothing more than "making liberals cry" can't even participate in a banal legislative discussion?

All she wants is the cash, the fame, and to get fondled at Beetlejuice.

I'm saving that for the cat 5 hurricane my man. And every trump flag in the Villages to block the storm drains and flood those assholes out as a bonus. Florida needs a good wash.

@calodo2003 will correct me if I'm wrong but I'm reasonably sure that district doesn't cover The Villages
