In what Punchbowl News calls a “shocking development” Democrats and Republicans on Ohio’s bipartisan redistricting commission on Wednesday struck a deal that will slightly adjust the borders of two blue-held districts to make them a little more competitive, a third to make it less competitive, and leave another two held by Dem Congresswomen Shontel Brown and Joyce Beatty pretty safe.

The seats currently held by Republicans Max Miller, Mike Carey, and Mike Turner will also remain theoretically winnable by Dems. In the larger picture it’s yet another setback for convicted felon President Trump’s campaign of stacking the deck to hang onto the House GOP majority after a similar dead end in New Hampshire and still-uncertain gains in Missouri and Indiana – in the latter Governor Mike Braun this week called a special session to increase pressure on the Republican holdouts in the state Senate to obey the Orange Allah’s holy commands. “I am calling a special legislative session to protect Hoosiers from efforts in other states that seek to diminish their voice in Washington and ensure their representation in Congress is fair,” the cunt said in his announcement.

Meanwhile Maryland Dems aren’t on the same page with their mission to kill the lone GOP district in their state held by Freedom Caucasians chair Andy Harris, while in New York a new lawsuit seeks to get a judge to butcher the south Brooklyn/Staten Island district held by dishonest and dislikeable MAGA Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis. For now at least the Dems have pretty much offset the fat bastard’s map-rigging push but next year could bring a new wave of gains for the fascist empire.
