Not a bad day, huh?

• Warnock wins, giving Dems a 51-49 Senate. So much for the red wave -- we GAINED a Senate seat.

• Trump Org found guilty on 17 counts of criminal tax fraud.

• The January 6th Committee signals that they'll make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.

• At a medal ceremony to award them for bravery, Capitol Police officers and their families refused to shake hands with Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy.

Like I always say, a bad day for Republicans is a good day for America.

Christmas special. Hilarious haunting subtle human.

We have had too many disappointments, and this should give us more hope.

My concern about Georgia.. two candidates as different as night n day but the voters barely saw it that way. So close was not my hope but a win is a win but... I’m born n raised in the South n I’m thinking I’m gonna leave this good Earth with barely a blimp of change. I’m pleased but I want too much..I guess. These baby steps are maddening 🙀

I could not watch the returns on television. Checked the Washington Post now and then. It should never have been so close.

For all the reasons you stated.

Warnock winning was just the icing on the cake!

with gratitude since it means neither Manchin nor Sinema will find it as easy to play their petty power games in the Senate.

One that wasn't reported widely was that Rudy Guilani had to face the music for his attorney-misconduct (disbarment) hearing where he is going to lose his license to practice law.

The other thing that happened that was under the radar with such a busy news day is the ringleader of the plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Widmer was sentenced to Life in prison.

Yes indeed, a very good day for our side.

...not even too bad of a day for country-first non-Magat pukes...

...if we could dispose of trump and reduce the Magat influence they'd owe us one...

...Kinzinger-type pukes may even crawl out of the woodwork...

as I wrote this very list into my journal I added that Mary Trump gave DNA to E. Jean Carroll because the orange cock splat would not. E. Jean kept the dress, as I understand it.
It was a fully satisfying day.
