Vermont Dem Congressman Pete Welch won 68.5% to MAGA dickhead Gerald Malloy’s 28.1%, per the New York Times, piling even more disgrace onto Trafalgar’s fanboy reputation.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley on Wednesday told the Economic Club of New York he believes that over 100,000 Russian troops and Ukrainian civilians have been killed or wounded in action since the start of the war in Ukraine in February, the AP reports.

“There has been a tremendous amount of suffering, human suffering,” Milley said, adding that he explaining that the Russian withdrawal from Kherson could be a trap to lure Ukrainian troops into protracted trench warfare. “The initial indicators are they are in fact doing it. They made the public announcement they’re doing it. I believe they’re doing it in order to preserve their force to reestablish defensive lines south of the (Dnieper) river, but that remains to be seen”

Liberals even suck at feminism.

Feminism encapsulates supporting a woman’s ability to decide what she does, be that her job or her health care.  And while OnlyFans has not sexual content, likely outgoing Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (Q-Colorado) objects to people pointing out that the alleged former prostitute has no marketable job skills for her post-political career.  In her first tweet in two days–her last one celebrated a “Red Wave” which may have been her way to comply with GOP-desired surveillance of women’s menstrual cycles–the Congressional troll strikes out a someone trolling her.

KFC’s German division blamed “an error in our system” for the local version of their mobile ordering app sending a push alert on Wednesday that said “It’s memorial day for Kristallnacht! Treat yourself with more tender cheese on your crispy chicken. Now at KFCheese!” the BBC reports.

“We are very sorry, we will check our internal processes immediately so that this does not happen again. Please excuse this error,” another message said an hour later, rudely not offering any free chicken or biscuits as a recompense. They did however explain that it was the result of the app being linked to an API bot that simply plugs observances on the official calendar into the push notifications, which we can kind of buy given a similar-ish situation from last year.

We do sort of get it though. It wouldn’t work because it’s not “McTrump.” Then again, even if it was, there’s no way in hell Gaetz would blame fat Donald for what happened Tuesday anyway.

New York Congressman-elect Mike Lawler, who defeated DCCC Chairman Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney for the seat in the 17th District, tells CNN’s Melanie Zanona right out of the gate that the GOP needs to “move forward” from their Holy Immortal Orange God-Titan.

“I think anytime you are focused on the future, you can’t so much go to the past,” said Lawler “And I think people are really excited about the opportunity to address the challenges that we’re facing as a country, and I think more focus needs to be on the issues and the substance of those issues than on personalities,” he added. So count on a few more days of this before the death threats from MAGA scumbags start pouring in and then the fat bastard reassumes total control of the party.

Bidenflation dropped to 7.7% in October as the Democrats successfully somehow rigged it to stop the Republicans’ winning message on the economy from sinking in with voters, CNBC reports. This country is supposed to be going to hell and Soros did something to slow it down. Very sad.

Jeez. You’d think a guy who wants to take Arizona’s election system back to the 19th century would have a little more sand in him it comes to waiting on the results of his own race. Barely 24 hours after the polls closed and Finchy’s cracking like an egg not knowing if he won or lost.

He probably lost, but that’s besides the point. This fucker campaigned for Secretary of State on the promise of doing away with all those pesky electronic tabulators and what not and just having ballots counted by hand, something that would take weeks, if not months to determine a winner. He should know this better than most, having been involved with the “Cyber Ninjas” clusterfuck last year and seeing firsthand what it looks like when a million-plus of ballots are stacked up on tables, an effort which in the end more or less confirmed the same result the tabulators had.

Even God has it out for Donald Trump this week, Donald Trump will say as Hurricane Nicole bears down on the west coast of Florida, projected to make landfall essentially on Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, CNN reports.

Nicole will be the first hurricane to make landfall on the United States in November in four decades.  It’s expected to hit Florida overnight as a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of 75 m.p.h.   The FBI has not responded to an inquiry about securing additional classified papers that may remain at Trump’s geriatric supper club and tragically retro property.

Sniveling weasel Ted Cruz (R-Quintana Roo), the man who abandoned his dog in a snowstorm when the power went out to flee to a Ritz Carlton resort on the Mayan Riviera and who supported the presidency of the man who called his wife “a dog,” wants you to learn a lesson from the shellacking the Republicans took in the midterms.  That lesson:  the GOP stands for nothing, and that people really like Democratic policies.

“And here’s a lesson you can take from last night:  Look, why do the Democrats do better than expected?  Because for two years, they’ve governed as liberals.  They’ve governed as whacked-out leftie nutjobs and ya know what that did?  That excited their base.  That excited a bunch of young voters that came out in massive numbers because when you actually stand for something, your base gets excited.  There’s a lesson for Republicans to learn, which is when we have a majority next year, we damn well better act like it and use it.”

Well, yeah, Ted.  You could be on to something.  Imagine in politics, politicians who actually did things their constituents want and govern, not rule.  (I know that must be shocking to Republican ears.)  Imagine politicians enacting legislation that helps their constituents, not taking away healthcare, canceling social safety net programs or starting endless show-pony impeachment actions or sham “investigations” into non-existent voting fraud, which is exactly what the GOP ran on.  It also helps that what the GOP stands for–forced birth, higher debt, lower status for working families, massive military spending (but not using our military might to defend democracy), dismantling the Constitution, and supporting Donald Trump’s lifestyle–are not what voters want.

The federal criminal complaint against MAGA QAnon freak David DePape in the brutal assault on Paul Pelosi was unsealed Wednesday and it sure kind of blows up yet another load of right wing conspiracy bullshit as it shows it was DePape, not Pelosi, who used the word “friend” during the call that was captured by 911 operators in San Francisco during the hostage situation.

“On or about October 28, 2022, at approximately 2:23 a.m., San Francisco Police Department received a 9-1-1 call from Mr. Pelosi at the Pelosi Residence. In the approximately two-and-a-half minute phone call, Mr. Pelosi conveyed to the dispatch officer that there was an unknown man in his residence. Mr. Pelosi also conveyed that the man was looking for Mr. Pelosi’s wife, that Mr. Pelosi’s wife was Speaker Pelosi who would not ‘be there for days,’ and that the man said he would ‘wait’ for Speaker Pelosi. Mr. Pelosi made clear in the 9-1-1 call that he did not know who the man was. On the call and from the background, DEPAPE can be heard giving his name as ‘David’ and declaring himself a ‘friend.’ Mr. Pelosi confirmed to the dispatcher that he did not know the man. Towards the end of the call, when the dispatcher offered to stay on the phone with him, Mr. Pelosi told the dispatcher that the man wanted Mr. Pelosi to ‘get the hell off the phone,'” says the complaint.

Republican whiplash from their impotent showing in the midterms is now turning to retribution, and the first one in line calling for it is propagandist and milquetoast polo spectator Tucker Carlson, who spent weeks drooling over the authoritarian measures he could call for on his Fox platform after his minions took office.  But alas, it was not meant to be, as Republicans sucked lemons in Tuesday’s elections.

Carlson demands the GOP House and Senate leadership and the heads of the Republican National Committee be fired because, well, Republicans sucked at implementing all their voter suppression efforts because Democratic get-out-the-vote efforts were successful and dammit, Republicans won’t stand for legal voters casting a ballot without their approval.  And set aside conservative policies are exceptionally unpopular with the American public.  Tuckems wants heads on pikes.  Let’s see how comfy they are when they’re the targets of their mob’s anger.

Former Republican Speaker of the House and rewritten historian Newt Gingrich has been ordered by a Virginia judge to testify before the Fulton County, Georgia grand jury regarding his role about the 2020 effort by Donald Trump to overturn Georgia’s certified election, CNN reports.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis wants to question Gingrich about his role in Trump’s attempt to pressure state elections officials to find or nullify votes to give him victory in Georgia.  Gingrich is also suspected of involvement in the plan to present fake electors to Congress January 6th in an effort to undermine the public’s faith in the election results.

Gingrich, who represented Georgia in Congress before being forced out for financial ethical violations, now lives in Virginia and sought relief from the subpoena from Virginia courts.  Gingrich indicated that he would appeal the decision.

“There’s just not the hatred of Joe Biden that there is for Barack Obama and for the Clintons.  There’s not a ‘Hate Biden’ vote that’s out there.  You know when you go with Trump’s on the ballot, there’s that ‘Hate Trump’ Democrat vote.  People just don’t feel the same passion against the guy that they also feel for other people,” stalker and Fox in-house yuckster Jessie Watters proclaims, unaware that there are other emotions than hatred that motivate normal voters because Watters, like all Fox viewers, must be enraged and angry at “the other” all the time.

“Maybe he’s just a really nice guy,” co-host Jessica Tarlov interjects.

DeSantis overtakes Trump in 2024 betting markets as midterm election results pour in https://t.co/kjQ9TTVmjV

A New York appellate judge on Wednesday declined to stay the injunction imposing an independent monitor on the Trump Org and a freeze on asset transfers from the corrupt business empire.

The day after Democrats overperformed in midterm elections, President Joe Biden will take questions on the outcome of the elections, where he’s expected to call for national unity and cooperation because he’s Joe and he won’t pour salt into the GOP’s fresh wounds.  The bloody fisticuffs of Trump’s 2018 post-mid-term press conference, spawned by Jim Acosta’s hooliganism, are not likely to be repeated.  (In 2018, Republicans lost 41 House seats and seven governorships under Trump.)

@realDonaldTrump
While in certain ways yesterday’s election was somewhat disappointing, from my personal standpoint it was a very big victory – 219 WINS and 16 Losses in the General – Who has ever done better than that?

2,810 11,207 Nov 09, 2022, 2:05 PM

And just to be clear here: Those “219 WINS” include Republicans like Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, and Congressmen Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, and Steve Scalise – assholes who faced no serious challenges from Democrats. If you’re talking about actually contested races there’s fucking Ron Johnson and maybe a handful of House races for Trump-backed candidates. The ones MAGA hopefuls lost or are still up in the air are about as high profile as they get: Maryland governor, Massachusetts governor, New York governor, Wisconsin governor, Pennsylvania Senate and governor… the list goes on and on and on and it’s not over yet.

Herschel Walker must think that he has an obvious advantage against incumbent Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock in the upcoming runoff for the Georgia Senate seat, slated for December 6th because neither of the top two candidates surpassed 50% of the vote.

He is, after all, a former Heisman Trophy winner who was timed with a 4.3 40-yard-dash time coming out of a college he didn’t graduate from.  He’ll be greatly disappointed to learn that this isn’t actually a footrace.  During the campaign, 60-year-old Head Injury Herschel claimed he could still match his college speed, which may help him get home to Texas faster after the runoff.
