Here is the problem with the Republican mindset

Bush/Cheney failed miserably in the run up to the 911 attacks, well documented that they ignored (at best) warnings.

Then the same admin failed at tracking down Bin Laden. In fact W said it really wasn't that important.

Team Obama acted on intelligence, took a chance at taking out Bin Laden, (failure would have likely made Obama a one term President) and successfully took out Bin Laden.

Republicans gave him no credit, in fact they claimed it was all Bush people who succeeded all will ignoring Bush failures in the 911 attack.

Now we have Republicans claiming that the successful mission was a failure due to being too late, that Clinton messed up originally, (a one they have used since 2001) and that the military lead on the successful mission was a failure.

Seems like they are incapable of taking any personal responsibility.

They also have no issue with criticizing military personnel for being perceived as political ONLY when that person goes against Republican beliefs, in all other cases they will argue that military personnel should not be questioned.

I am Progressive, white male, Nancy Pelosi is not progressive enough for me

And she should be the next Speaker of the House. She earned it. She can have it for two years, she can take it and transition it.

To add, you do not start off conceding to Repukes and that is exactly how the media and Repukes will categorize anyone else other than Pelosi becomes Speaker.

Remember all of those investigate journalist stories on how Orange County voted D in 2016?

For the first time since 1936, The OC actually went for the Democratic Presidential candidate in 2016. "Behind the Orange Curtain," "Where Republicans go to die." The friggen county went blue. FFS, that is like San Francisco going red! Surely you all saw the media focus on The OC!

You remember all of those stories right? CNN had a town hall with disaffected Republican voters. Hell, MSNBC practically camped out in Irvine. Reminded everyone how Clinton won the popular vote and how tRump MUST reach out to everyone, because there clearly wasn't a mandate.

Oh wait, that didn't happen, the camped out in West Virginia, Kentucky, and other red states and sold tRump. They found every anti-Clinton person and gave them air time.

So now we are have the potential of ALL of OC going blue in House districts. A clean damn sweep from 3/4 of the house seats being red, to ALL House seats being blue.

Two points:

1. The MSM doesn't report the news, they try to create a reality.

2. For those DU family members who claim the media is interested in a horse race, contests sell, etc. I offer you the latest example to refute the claim, The OC! If the media was focused on horse races/competitions, they would have driven less an hour down the road from the 2nd largest media market in the States and focused on what was happening in OC. There would have been Town Halls with OC Republicans who voted for Hillary and the constant point that tRump lost by over 3 million votes. Furthermore, the next month would include a saturation of media stories on what happened in the OC! tRump has lost The OC!

I doubt there will be more than passing comments on what happened behind the Orange Curtain. A County of over 3 million people flipped. Consider that the next time you see stories from states focusing on tRump supporters. States that are less than or basically equal to the size of The OC get the focus. Hell, I can't recall the last time I saw focus on what a New Yorker, Los Angeleno, Chicagoan was thinking.

The MSM is biased, and it has nothing to do with horse races/competitions.

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT! WAKE UP!

I have never seen such sunshine pump up the ass bullshit. Anyone who has posted in the last day with negative thoughts about the election gets shouted down, called a Debbie Downer.

Seriously. Look and the last mother fucking two weeks and pull your head out.

1. Every major Democratic official (National level) was part of an assassination attempt.
2. A Jewish Synagogue was shot up and harmless elderly people were killed.

Yet the mother fucking majority of white MALE AND FEMALE voters supported the party that brought this on this great Nation.

Polls were wrong yet again, BULL FUCKING SHIT! SO THE FLORIDIANS VOTE TO GIVE FELONS THE RIGHT TO VOTE, YET THE TWO MAJOR STATEWIDE RACES GO AGAINST DEMS.

SERIOUSLY, FUCKING SERIOUSLY! POLLS WRONG, FUCKING YOUTH VOTE SKYROCKETS, TURNOUT SKYROCKETS. Oh but we lost. FOR FUCKS SAKE PEOPLE!

Buy hey, we got the House so we are going to subpoena them and make them understand that they were wrong. FUCKING SERIOUSLY?!

You seriously are trying to argue that the racist fucks are going to see the error in their ways, you seriously are going to argue that the National media are going to shine the light on the cock roaches? THEY JUST FUCKING DID! You think they will continue or will they go back to their old ways.

So now the shit stain just gives a big FU to Democracy, you really think a subpoena from the House is going to stop him?

WOW - Historic night

1. Party with President having high disapproval numbers
2. What appears to be increased youth turnout
3. Huge turnout for a mid term
4. Polls had broken for challenging party

Yet somehow all the Republicans seem to be over performing.

Go figure.
