They also chose Taco Bell as the best Mexican restaurant.

Yeah, they’re wrong. Beto got this close because he shunned the nonexistent center. He’s just 4-10 years too early. Demographic shifts plus much needed party building will take this state the path Virginia took.

Do we have reason to be optimistic about next year's line?

Seriously. I haven’t checked the board today til now, and this is the first page I looked at. Some people need to step away from political discourse for a while. You only get to vote once, and I’m guessing most here already have. Go do something that makes you happy, ‘cause clearly posting here only brings out the inner Lewis Black style rage explosion in some of y’all.

Yeah, I’m not reading more than a couple sentences of what amounts to a series of bitchy process stories. Those usually suck from the professional media, unless it’s about some mundane process that’s actually of interest to me. How a self-important pseudo-intellectual interacts when his viewpoint is unpopular is simply not.

After exhausting every other option, the Terps decided to do the right thing.

Yeah, it’s fucking excellent that 4 in 10 Americans are hopelessly pathetic, whinging assholes.

“Mr. Gorbachev ... how much you want for that wall?”

You can’t just turn it around. If the constitution and the TrumOP machinations within its boundaries leads to fascism, then that’s where we go. Some folks act like we don’t have crises every four score or so that lead us into an inferno and back out again. The last two times (Great Depression/WWII and the War of Southern Treason) we adjusted within the USC, and the USC took on new meanings/got reinterpreted. But the time before that we created a new country. Maybe the country as we know it survives with some structural adjustment. Or maybe Putin wins, and we become something(s) new. But this is really only the beginning stage. As someone said above, I think, this isn’t 1942-5; this is 1932-3. Power hasn’t been consolidated yet. My fear is that a blue wave, even a small one, creates the impetus for the equivalent of the Reichtag fire. If that’s the route the party of trump takes, they’ll be successful. All they need is ~35% of the country to believe their line of bullshit, and the remaining 15% necessary will bring the donuts to the coronation of Grand Pumba Orangetard.

That’s pretty unfair. He’s a tremendous hypocrite.

You would volunteer? Why haven’t you?

The press has been using riffs of "Houston, we have a problem" since Tom Hanks uttered that line. I fully expect, "Texas is/isn't back!/Is Texas back?" to stick around until something catchier comes along to annoy us.

But he's not black, so your points are invalid.

Not much, but here's the short version:

What? You want some fiend with a blunt to be able to get away? You’re gonna force the boys in blue to work on their physical fitness. Every Planet Fitness gonna be grabbed as a forfeiture for official use.

Dotard will continue to somehow surprise some in how low he's willing to go, thought they should've known better for over a year. Dotard enablers will not surprise in how much orange god mushroom knob they're willing to swallow, with a side of doughnuts of course. Mueller, election results, horrible things happening, wailing and gnashing of teeth: WILL NOT MATTER. We will not run out of single malt out here on brisket's ledge, even as we greet newcomers daily.

“Saw that bone! Saw that bone!”

One. Fucking. Time.

3 solo shots and lets go to bed.

Get 'em back here.

Yes sir!

Hell, the DA might not even accept the charges.

I'll take the case pro bono.

Just one?

Not allowed for us tonight. Joe West out front shoulda told ya.
