I think people are expecting doom for Democrats based on the states that gained seats and those who lost...to me it looks like a wash when you look at the states and numbers
Yes, the two going to Texas, the one going to Florida, the one going to North Carolina and one to Montana (really?..Montana was a gain) will be 5 Republican seats, but Colorado and Oregons will be 2 Democratic seats more than likely....but I also think that the 7 states that lost a seat will come from a Republican district....just because Cali, NY, and IL are blue states doesnt mean that they dont have Republican disctricts...so I see +2 for Dems and a -2 for Republicans when its all said and done

Conservatives wanted a not guilty verdict for this reason
A lot of them crying about the verdict....I think the main reason they wanted a not guilty verdict is that they wanted to see riots across the country so they could say things like this is Bidens America, ANTIFA! Bad, BLM Bad!....etc
So I see the usual suspects trending on Twitter
I am not going to type their names because I refuse to give them the relevance they seek, nor will I click on their hashtag...if you follow politics, news, or social media you know then though....its the same people who are always trending at times like these, the same right wing white males, or the I got off the Democrat plantation black people.....saying or tweeting something controversial just to get attention....but unfortunately it works because their critics engage them and get up in arms of what they said....the best way for these people to go away is to just to ignore them
Andrea Mitchell is a terrible interviewer
OMG, just watched her on MSNBC with Sen Barrasso...not only did she let him spin (they all do that), but she just seemed not to know what are was talking about
This is why Republicans are always in power even when they don't have the presidency
We have an election here in Texas on Saturday, May 1....early voting began yesterday....the election is for offices like school board, city council, county commissioner, local initiatives and ballots....a lot of these offices are supposedly non-partisan, but republicans are good at making efforts for their voters to know who to vote for and they are also good at getting their hard core voters to vote in an obscure election like this, while Democratic leaning voters dont vote in elections like this.....matter of fact I wont be surprised if turnout out is 15% or less....so a candidate could get 60% of the vote, but in reality has only a small plurality of support...and unfortunately the candidates are MAGA, for instance, in my county (Comal) we have 3 Trump train people running for office......these are the elections that really count because these people make the local rules...and then these people are the people who then go on to get elected to Congress..
I hope this tweet leads to something

This poll doesnt matter to republicans because they have effectively gerrymandered their way into taking extreme unfavorable positions in which they are catering to that 32%.

Oh the levels of irony
Racist white drill sergeant stationed at Ft. Jackson (named after confederate general), but the installations current general is black as well as the current command sergeant major
Bet the General turned off the reply alerts on this tweet...lol
I looked through his profile and he normally gets 10 replies at the most 20....his last tweet garnered 250...lol....and he his probably pissed, too
