Tomorrow's News, Today.
(Wasn't this the MacGuffin of one of the later James Bond films?)
There has been absolutely no bias whatsoever in the number of mainstream-news headlines which rejoice in the relatively narrow margin by which the Democratic party seized a house majority, while completely ignoring the story of how the much-anticipated Blue Wave failed to materialize after encountering the Red Tide. (I claim original authorship on that snarky observation.)
And, unsurprisingly, the number of stories which bemoan the fact that this is just a continuation of the usual two party big-government political theater is less than zero. How is it possible to have a negative number of news headlines? I have no idea. But this is a scientifically proven fact.

And the idiots of my state voted in Kevin Stitt as governor. He literally hasn't voted in a gubernatorial race since 1999, his shady mortgage business has been banned from doing business or has been heavily fined in at least 8 states, and he supports all the horrifically failed policies of the previous 8 years of Mary Fallin.
The people in this state, "Derp derp derp, straight ticket Republican, derp derp derp, Jeebus."
The other candidate was a veteran, teacher, and former state prosecutor.

here bro, ill help you:
While the final votes are being tallied, here's the takeaway:
In a year when Republicans were, historically, supposed to lose the House and Senate and be totally blocked by Democrats until 2020, we made gains in the Senate and kept the margin slim in the House.
There are 435 House members, many unseasoned politicians. There are 100 Senators, who are at the top of their political game. It will be far easier for Trump and Republicans to persuade 4x as many junior politicians compared to persuading 1-2 Senators to work with us.
Democrats may attempt to block our agenda until 2020, but it was already being blocked by the Never Trumpers in the Senate.
Today we have ensured there will be no insane calls for impeachment, no "energized" blue wave, and essentially, no real change in the power dynamics of Washington, D.C.
tl;dr = it's somewhere between a wash and more winning

Ah. Blame all the world's ills on another racial/ethnic/religious group. That always ends well.
Speaking of which, I am bothered by the discussion of a few other forums that everyone who does not universally condemn Trump or anything Republican literally has a narrow mustache.

Agreed.
There are lots of women who hate Trump.
Many of which have a narrow black mustache.
Some of the women who have fat black mustache's hate him as well.
I am seeing a pattern here.
Women who don't bother to shave their mustache hate Trump.

I know it'd never work out in real life, but god damn, I want to do naughty things to her body so very much.
To be clear: I'm talking about the level at which blood is spilled. Nothing kinky / violent, but she wouldn't be able to show herself in public the next day without a long-sleeved turtleneck. I know from personal experience that Latinas have delicate skin.
Just teeth and fingernails.
Women in positions of power is pretty much my biggest turn-on. 500 HP / liter falls below this on my personal scale.

Joe, if you happen to be in her neck of the woods and can pull off a good Bernie Sanders costume you just might be able to pull off Gorky Park meets Fifty Shades of Slightly Brown.
