The Morning Rant
"Yeah, I know last night was a mixed bag at best, but look at it this way: the average President loses 37 seats in his first midterm. Obama lost 63, Clinton lost 53, Trump lost 26. That's pretty damn good. I think his tireless campaigning in the weeks leading up to the election helped to staunch the bleeding. So it could've been worse. A lot worse. Besides, any day that Hillary is not president is a good day."

Kind of wish the GOP had kept the House, but meh. A Senate that can confirm GOOD cabinet appointees is good enough.

And Trump continues to be the Master Troller, by endorsing Pelosi for Speaker of the House, and suggesting that the Republicans will provide the votes to make Nancy Speaker, if necessary.
As Nancy increasingly struggles with dementia over the next couple of years, who better to be the face of the Democratic Party?

My biggest disappointments from last night, in no particular order:
1) Bill Kristol and his ilk will remain funded and noisy for at least 2 more years
2) Gridlock in congress means Trump will have to work through EO, which - as he showed us with Obama's EOs - is transient and easily reversed.
3) Dems are back on the intelligence committee and have more unfettered access to important information. They will also freeze out one of our more valuable congressmen in Nunes.
4) The blue states passed a *lot* of bad measures that will reduce their quality of life, which will ramp up exit pressures and worsen red state political demographics.
5) Losing governors and state houses makes overcoming incumbency in those states much harder in 2020 due to loss of machinery.
The President now only has one method at his disposal, and that is direct engagement. He will have to waste a lot of time countering the Left with direct appeals to the people through his tools (declassification, publication, etc.) because no one else will help is agenda.
We'll see what happens!

Caravan Update:
Reading article that the number of migrants apply for asylum in Mexico or returning home is up to 3,200. They say that still leaves 4,000 still traveling.
As I've said before, if they have to continue their march on foot, this caravan could peter out to less then a 1,000 by the time they get to the border, which also happens to be the number of people caught each and every day by border patrol.

Trump's tweets show he's looking forward to a battle with Pelosi
Fuckin aye.
Enough of this sneaking around shit. Let's have a straight up fight.
Look guys. Trump led the GOP to perform historically well in the midterms.
We know what these people are. And I believe Trump has the goods on many of them. Will they show their asses like bonobos for 2 years? Oh yes indeed.
But PDT just handed them the rope to hang themselves.

So - again - my takeaways from yesterday -
The
mass exodus of RINO/GOPe's from the House plus the House's failure to
do anything in the GOP time of complete control of all levers of power
in DC under President Trump resulted in a "House Cleaning" if you will.
Frankly I would rather have actual crazy socialists in control of the
House led by TIE Pelosi than the scumbag lying RINO/GOPe'rs who would
say they were conservative and fighting for liberty and against the
leftists and then capitulate at the first fight and/or cry "bipartisan"
when all they woudl do is simply pass socialist agenda legislation and
go to cocktail parties. Fuck those guys in particular.
Now - the good news:
1)
In the Senate - the recent development of a backbone and fighting the
good fight ( as well as the few top RINO's like Flake etc. departing -
and top koo-koo bird McLame dying off ) was rewarded with a
solidification of power for Repubs and Trumpists with a few exceptions (
Romney - I'm looking at you).
2) Also on
the good front - "Beta Male" O'Rourke was kicked to the curb despite
the ridiculous amount of money and effort expended by the Dims. Also
MsAsskill, Heitkamp and a number of other disgusting scumbags were
kicked i the @ss.
3) Keeping the governorship of Florida is huge - !
Now - on to the bad:
1)
Losing the House, although not unexpected - is certainly not a "good
thing" although the use of the likes of Pelousy and Mad Max Waters as a
foil will lead to some epic trolling by Trump and expose the failure of
the Dims to have anyone sane at the House level and idiots like
Occasional-Cortex do NOT help. They will likely pass bills so far left
(that will die in the Senate) that it will further open everyone's eyes.
2)
the biased, propaganda spread by the MSM still has the power to swing
elections and gin up the lefty base - we dismiss it at our peril. We
need to continue to open up new news mediums and need to get at least a
foothold in more MSM markets ( Perhaps a Trump network?)
3)
Candidates and campaigns matter. The GOPe, particularly in NY and in
Florida) ran some of the worst, wishy washy old school candidates who
ran awful old school campaigns (Trump pulled deSantis over the line,
barely). Even in Texas - Cruz allowed Beta Male to run circles around
him from a campaign standpoint. Not acceptable. The NY and CA State
Republican Parties in particular, need to be rebuilt and Trump should do
it - and take an active role. He needs to make sure those states have a
new batch of unabashed Trumpist candidates in 2020 with actual ground
games and new, tech oriented, online campaigns. Investing in this in a
number of states and with an eye towards mounting a GOP challenge
EVERYWHERE - including deep blue districts - is the key in 2020.
4)
Walker in WI is a huge loss. Not having the governorship for the 2020
battle in WI is a very unfortunate wound that will fester all the way
through that election cycle.
Other thoughts:
Lastly
- events matter and the fake bomber and cray cray Pittsburgh shooter
could not have happened at a worse time for Team Trump as it allowed he
airwaves to be flooded by the MSM with "Trump=hate" a week before ED
stymieing the Trumpmentum that had been building at that point - and
that made the difference in a number of close races - of which there
were many).
So - Trump stops the worst effects of the midterm blues and actually solidifies the Senate in Trumpist hands.
Next steps:
The
lame duck Congress needs to pass a budget which funds the border wall.
Have it expire in September 2020. Let the House shut down the
government a month and a half before ED in 2020 to protect illegal
aliens - see how that goes for them. Alas - as Ryan and the GOPe are
still A-1 Jackholes that will not happened. But if they were smart they
would pass a bunch of "common sense" "keep the promise" legislation
packages before they go and tell Pelosi and the socialist to kiss their
*sses.

Gridlock in congress means Trump will have to work through EO, which - as he showed us with Obama's EOs - is transient and easily reversed.
-------------
He can also work to make the left look like obstructionists. This doesn't work well for the left because they don't try to pass "reasonable" legislation. Trump could try to pass "reasonable" legislation - that I would hate, but much of the country may like - and play for 2020.
I would not try to go the exact route that Obama did with the EO - though there are plenty of things Trump can do that are well within his Constitutional powers.

Horrible terrible night here in Wisconsin. We are back to Commie rule, and all the reforms we've worked so very VERY hard for will be tossed in the trash. I'm not convinced there wasn't massive fraud, but that's a story for another time. I'm sick to my stomach, and feel the same way I did the day after the Obama elections. Like I want to throw up and never talk to another living soul.

On the other hand, politically, the State of Oregon continues to be an unmitigated disaster.
The only curb on the progs in Oregon is that you can avoid Oregon government and Oregon income tax by moving yourself and your job across the Columbia River to Washington, where there is no state income tax. (Portland is right on the south side of the Columbia.)
Not that Washington is that great politically, but it is a lot better than Oregon (the voters of Washington just turned down a "carbon tax" by a sizable margin).
So, Oregon progs have to come up with disguised sales taxes - they'd love to raise the state income tax (which I believe is third highest in the nation), but they realize that a lot of people would move the few miles to Washington if they tried to raise the state income tax further.

IC: +2 would be current worst case if McSally loses. Best we can do is +4 if Tester loses. But McSally is up by a decent amount with 99% reporting - I've seen multiple sources call it for her.
54 is a safe bet. Rosendale has a lead at the moment but apparently, the late reporting precincts are heavier blue (surprise!).
Seriously though, when's the last time a Dem was leading and we got an "election officials find a box of ballots in Redville Middle America" story? Is it my confirmation bias, or is it fucking *always* Dems with the late ballots?

I live in Oregon and it was a total loss, a massive, painful disaster. So much so I find it hard to believe it was remotely honest. The GOP governor candidate was trashed in the election, when it was a super close race and the sitting Dem governor had massive disapproval. All of the ballot measures designed to protect the state from radical leftist ideas and stop the legislature from more stupid concepts failed, by a large margin. The Dems again to a supermajority in the legislature, so we're going to see even more of a flood of insane crap puked on us by the radical hard left. Its basically going to be years of misery.

Priority Number One.
Get Mitch over to the White House and make sure that he's on-board to get Trump's appointments approved. Then submit the lot on the first day congress sits and make sure he follows through.
Dems won't know what hit them.

The only curb on the progs in Oregon is that you can avoid Oregon government and Oregon income tax by moving yourself and your job across the Columbia River to Washington, where there is no state income tax. (Portland is right on the south side of the Columbia.)
Unfortunately the migration northward across the Columbia has turned Clark County blue.

Overall this was a loss for President Trump, although not a very major one. Keeping the senate really changes nothing (except making judges slightly easier to pass), but losing the house essentially stalls Trump's agenda. There's no way in hell they get anything done on impeachment for example, but we'll never see wall funding and the GOPe will make sure the budget is so bloated it leaves a trail of oozed fat like a snail.

But it will turn FL even moar purple from here on out. Sigh.

I'm especially pissed because Donna, Katje and I were watching all the precincts last night. It was a dead heat. At one time they were separated by 42 votes. It went back and forth all night like that, with 300 votes one way, 400 votes another.
Then, with 97% of the vote in, suddenly 25,000 votes are dropped in Evers column! With no precincts reporting it out! With no visible change in percentage! Just BOOM - 25,000 votes for Evers.
Donna thinks ballots were driven up in a truck from Chicago. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes in real time, I wouldn't have believed it.

Oh, you're in for some fun times.
MA legalized pot in 2016 and the stores are finally starting to open. Aaaand right on schedule a bunch of parents discover a shop less than 500 yards from a school.
One upset protesting parent was interviewed, "Yeah, I am for legalized pot, but I don't think it should be so easy for kids to get." Gee, maybe should have considered that before voting 'yes'. Wait until employers see what this does to drug testing entry level employees, such as delivery people! Saw this happen in CO. There are all sorts of decisions when legalizing and the wrong decisions can make it not such a great thing (such as pot shops next to high schools).

Related to prayer list. My sister, who told us last week the doctors have given her one to three months, wanted to do an early Christmas so she could give us our presents. We had it Monday night. It was very nice. She gave the most thoughtful gifts. She had previous told us that she is not afraid to die, that she is certain Heaven awaits. She looked much better. I don't know whether it was relief from the uncertainty or, perhaps more pain meds now that she's on hospice track.

Easily fixed. GOP can support a States Rights position on legal weed.
There are several populist things that the GOP could have and still could push which they staidly refuse to even consider.
-Eliminating daylight savings
-Ala carte cable (although each week that goes by, that's less of an issue, since people are just not watching much TV any longer, except streaming)
-Eliminate federal drug laws except for importation controls
-Stop making the penny
Stuff like that is small but would make people really appreciate the GOP instead of consider them sinister. Just little, broadly popular ideas to steal the thunder from Dems, especially locally.

Fuck those guys in particular.
Yep. And I'm sorry to break it to you "political junkies"? but when you remove a 'RINO', it is replaced with a Democrat.
That's how it works. That's how it ALWAYS works.

Seriously though, when's the last time a Dem was leading and we got an "election officials find a box of ballots in Redville Middle America" story? Is it my confirmation bias, or is it fucking *always* Dems with the late ballots?

Cities. It's always urban districts that report late and most cities are controlled by the Democrat/mob machine.

13 My biggest disappointments from last night, in no particular order:
2) Gridlock in congress means Trump will have to work through EO, which - as he showed us with Obama's EOs - is transient and easily reversed.
That's not the lesson I learned. I learned a judge can stop one president from cancelling a previous president's executive order.

I don't care, I will say it. It was a good night, not great since Heller and James lost. But I was very happy. Idiots in deep blue circles were predicting a 60 to 100 seat swing. Most of our losses in the House were Never Trumpers who thought their positions would save them from the left - forgetting the MAIN lesson from Kavanaugh - we're all going to get it if the Democrats, as they are, take over. I look at this as a win, and I don't feel any weariness. Onward we fight.

Michigan also passed a ballot proposal that will allow the Secretary of State to randomly select citizens from the voter rolls to form a commission to do the redistricting.
Ah, so they're gonna make damn sure no Republican ever wins any seat ever again, then.
Yes. I think a big one would be removing regulations on low flush toilets, light bulbs, and gas cans.
I agree, nanny state nagging like that is very obnoxious, "pissant" to use an old military term. Just little stuff like your sibling poking you over and over in the back seat until you snap and mom gets mad at you. Its not earth shattering but its low-level frustrating and stressful to no good end.

early Christmas so she could give us our presents. We had it Monday
night. It was very nice. She gave the most thoughtful gifts. She had
previous told us that she is not afraid to die, that she is certain
Heaven awaits. She looked much better. I don't know whether it was
relief from the uncertainty or, perhaps more pain meds now that she's on
hospice track.

-Eliminating daylight savings
-Ala carte cable (although each week that goes by, that's less of an issue, since people are just not watching much TV any longer, except streaming)
-Eliminate federal drug laws except for importation controls
-Stop making the penny

Ultimately, like I and a lot of others have been saying here: we're not voting our way out of this. Trump was an outlier, not a shift in the voting populace. 2x Obama taught me that lesson hard and well, and its worth remembering. The culture is what gives us the voters, and the culture has been controlled by the radical left for several generations now. The news is dying but still has a lot of pull, and they influence voters (see the cartoon about brainwashing above) along with entertainment and academia.
The number of people in America who are constitutionally disposed toward liberty, individual responsibility, small government, and virtue are very very few. We're a pocket community sampled from 310+ million humans. Our voices are few and drowned out by the free stuff army and its promoters.

The number of people in America who are constitutionally disposed toward liberty, individual responsibility, small government, and virtue are very very few. We're a pocket community sampled from 310+ million humans. Our voices are few and drowned out by the free stuff army and its promoters.

Look at the map, especially for house districts, 80-90 percent of any state is red, except for a few isolated blue urban megalopolises. How the hell does that translate into a House Majority for democrats?

I think he might be ready for the private sector and earn some real cash. He's not a rich guy.
-------------
Not a WI guy, but I like Walker a lot. Seems like he made some changes that will pay off for a long time. WI is the better for it.
He should go to the private sector and see the real world. But I'm sure there could also be a place for him in the cabinet.
We may see him again.

And when those several thousand 'new' votes were announced, you could hear the Dems wailing on Jupiter. But's a rare occurrence.

See, here's the problem. There may technically be two parties out there, but in effect, there are four:
- Hard Left Democrats
- Less Left but Very Corrupt Democrats
- GOPe
- Trump & Company
Trump's been fighting a three-on-one battle. That he's managed as much as he has is amazing. But it doesn't change the facts.
What happened last night rebalanced power between the four. How exactly, we'll have to see.

One thing I wanted to share about last night:
Here in MO we passed a gradual minimum wage increase, up to like $12/hour a few years from now (because blue or red, there are always enough stupid people to vote for that sort of thing). My cousin runs a daycare, and though she's generally apolitical and kind of white trash, she was ranting and raving about it on Facebook this morning; "Don't these idiots know it's gonna make everything else go up?!"
tl;dr: family member may have been partially red-pilled by the election.

Doesn't matter if it's legal - employers have liability for injuries/accidents by employees under the influence. An employer would be crazy to put a delivery truck driver on the road after he/she tested positive for pot. Imagine the lawsuit should that driver then crash into another car, a pedestrian.

Look at the map, especially for house districts, 80-90 percent of any state is red, except for a few isolated blue urban megalopolises. How the hell does that translate into a House Majority for democrats?
Because more than half the people live in those isolated urban magalopolises. Seriously. Oregon is geographically almost entirely red. But there are two blue spots: Portland and Eugene. And they contain more than half of the population of the state, so they control the state. Its true in nearly every state.
New York City has a population of about 20 million. New York City metro area (including the New Jersey city areas just across the border) has a population of around 20 million. NYC alone has about 9 million.
Illinois has a population of about 13 million. Chicago metro area has a population of 10 million.
That's how it goes state to state. The cities are most of the population, and then you have a minority of dems in the rural areas enough to easily win overall.

The results from last night just confirm the fact of a divided country, going in two different directions. That being the case, the Courts arbitrating the arising disputes become all important. Controlling the Senate is critical.
Beyond all of the details, the Republic is being pulled apart.

And one more danger, we have quite a few auto assembly plants. Not a good place to be impaired. But boss, it was legal weed!
Doesn't matter if it's legal - employers have liability for
injuries/accidents by employees under the influence. An employer would
be crazy to put a delivery truck driver on the road after he/she tested
positive for pot. Imagine the lawsuit should that driver then crash into
another car, a pedestrian.

Actually Commercial Drivers Licenses are covered by Federal laws along with individual State requirements and weed is a Schedule one drug according to the Feds.

Here in MO we passed a gradual minimum wage increase, up to like
$12/hour a few years from now (because blue or red, there are always
enough stupid people to vote for that sort of thing). My cousin runs a
daycare, and though she's generally apolitical and kind of white trash,
she was ranting and raving about it on Facebook this morning; "Don't
these idiots know it's gonna make everything else go up?!"
Any increase in minimum wage will be eaten up by resulting increase in cost-of-living.
Those getting more dollars will not move up-- they're still at the bottom, and getting more dollars worth less.
Those who had been able to move up off the bottom will be shoved back down to the bottom as wages rise artificially, and also will be getting dollars worth less.
Like all Leftist policies, it's destruction painted pretty.

Christopher oh i'm sure they all Want freedom
I think at some theoretical level they do, but what they really want is comfort, safety, and ease. They are more than willing to exchange every essential liberty for small doses of safety.
This is what happens when you raise generation after generation to view the highest goals in life to be comfort, pleasure, safety, and personal health. If that's what you think life is about, if that is what you believe is your highest end goal and the purpose of existence,then you're going to want whatever provides that.
And any politician that says they'll give that to you is going to get the big win 9 times out of 10. Because concepts like justice, liberty, and virtue are hard, uncomfortable, and even alien or distasteful to the post modern hedonist. For them, hardship is 90 minutes of crossfit a week so they can have abs and get laid more often.

If you get tested positive for pot you will lose your CDL.
Good! I had to listen to a friend go off on what pot had done to his company's work force/hiring pool for drivers and it sounded bad.
One of the cute tricks in CO is to not test for pot on DUI deaths if alcohol is found. They just mark it as drunk driving and move on. Lotsa fun with statistics in order to not have negative impacts of pot realized. It's all good! Great tax revenue!

I see it as better than alcohol as far as acts committed during
People think pot makes you universally mellow and peaceful, maybe hungry. But booze is a sedative too, it makes people mellow and peaceful... except when it doesn't. Different people respond to chemicals differently. Some people get antsy, even violent under weed. Some people are barely affected. Its not a consistent certainty.
The biggest flaw with pot is that while booze has a really strong, obvious effect on your faculties pot doesn't feel like its having as much effect unless you get really, REALLY trashed. So people think they are a lot more capable and competent while stoned than they do when drunk, and get into worse problems (driving etc).

Last night I was ruminating: the Progressives have become like psycho wives, using emotional blackmail.
They can say anything about us--anything they want to. But have a difference of opinion on the frequency of Trump's "lies" and by arguing you are "creating division". They so want to re-unite the country and stop the rancor, but every time they try to talk to us, we're "distant".
They've decided to use a plea for "unity" as an explanation why in disagreeing with their strongly-held beliefs weren't just creating more dissension. They just want to have a conversation, with all the digs they can throw in, and we get personal.
Anyway, that's my analysis. The Dems have become female emotional blackmailers to get their way.

A lot of arguments can be made for or against legalized pot, but the biggest argument against is that it attracts more liberals.
What we discovered in Oregon is that there is a **big** difference between having marijuana illegal, but treated as a minor citable offense; and legal marijuana.
There has been a significant increase in the number of drivers involved in accidents who have smoked dope prior to the accident, and much of Portland now reeks of marijuana, to a much greater extent than before. Must be fun if you have asthma.

she will have to hunt up an Obama judge to call for endless recounts and trunk found votes. But she has a long row to hoe to get 90,000 votes.
And AP is still calling 3 counties as undecided and nobody else is covering it to any degree. The MFM is trying to hide the attempted steal here.

Vic did you see the #s in DeKalb county? They were over 83% for her.
As I said earlier today, not even Broward County is that lopsided.
she will have to hunt up an Obama judge to call for endless recounts and trunk found votes. But she has a long row to hoe to get 90,000 votes.

345. The Nelson recount is not about counting the votes again. Its about buying the Dems time to figure out another way to steal the election without making it too obvious.
I think they also want the Sec of Agriculture recount. I believe that one is also close and critical for ccw permits.

Donna: 54 if McSally holds on. 4 pick-ups and 1 loss (Heller).
McSally has like a .9% lead with close to 99% reporting, she should be safe. Tester pulled ahead by about 1,000 with almost 90% reporting and still has some blue precincts left, so sadly he should hang on too.
The Libertarian candidate lost us MT, but the Green party candidate sunk Sinema.

Actually Commercial Drivers Licenses are covered by Federal laws along with individual State requirements and weed is a Schedule one drug according to the Feds.
If you get tested positive for pot you will lose your CDL.
I was an owner operator and the biggest thing that kept me from buying a second truck is that it was very hard to find drivers that could pass a drug test.

a severe underperformance, especially considering trump's final week of rallies and shit.
55 senate seats? meh. It's good but those we low lying fruit. anything not low lying was lost.
my only real mitigation is that this happens to every president.
however, this feels different because the country is importing a few million new democrats every year and while we seem to care about it, our paul ryan cucktards wasted 2 years tut-tutting about trump's tone.

I agree. The Obama administration proved that you can at least temporarily, just spend mountains of money that do not actually exist to pay for whatever you want. Why bother with taxes at all? Just say you have that amount of money -- they don't even bother printing that much, just declare it to exist on paper -- and spend that for what you want.
I mean, it can work for a while and if you're a politician what the hell do you care what happens when you're not in office any longer and have your billions?

Last night was a reminder that
(a) there's a whole lot of lemmings out there, for whom repeating past errors does not seem to have penetrated their minds as an indication of insanity (see MN, WI, etc.)
(b) The worst of the damage was contained, the Southern Rot (Gillum and the Georgia Cow) lost and, while Trump's gonna get nothing for a border wall at least he's gonna be in good shape for judges and cabinet appointments.
(c) Hopefully the GOP takes away one lesson from this: who dares wins. The Administration and McConnell stood firm behind Kavanaugh and the Democrats kicked an own-goal so grievous that they'll probably be regretting it for decades. The House GOP leadership's supine and craven behavior for the last two years gained them nothing.

The biggest flaw with pot is that while booze has a really strong, obvious effect on your faculties pot doesn't feel like its having as much effect unless you get really, REALLY trashed. So people think they are a lot more capable and competent while stoned than they do when drunk, and get into worse problems (driving etc).

I shared this before with the horde - more than a year ago, I found my pothead nephew smoking weed and, out of curiosity, asked if I could have a hit. I was an occasional pot smoker in college, but never really liked it and hadn't smoked any since then. I had 1 puff - just one. Holy Lord, with that one puff I went from sober to extremely high in the course of 10 seconds. It took 2 hours before I felt normal again. I drank gallons of water and just waited for it to wear off. I did not find it enjoyable. However, I was very aware that I could not drive under the influence. I guess that's one thing today's pot has going for it - getting drunk can be a very gradual thing and people think they're OK to drive when they are not, whereas when you get high in a matter of seconds, you know it. Before that little experiment, I leaned toward pot legalization. It made me aware that today's pot is NOTHING like the stuff I smoked in the 70's and early '80's. It's a zillion times more potent and young people like my nephew are scrambling their brains with it. My nephew started smoking pot when he was around 16 and he's been a chronic underachiever ever since. No mystery why.

Before that little experiment, I leaned toward pot legalization. It made me aware that today's pot is NOTHING like the stuff I smoked in the 70's and early '80's. It's a zillion times more potent and young people like my nephew are scrambling their brains with it. My nephew started smoking pot when he was around 16 and he's been a chronic underachiever ever since. No mystery why.

Well...I'm disappointed, but not devastated. For one thing, the Democrat geezers in the house are the gift that keeps on giving. They talk a LOT of shit, and waste a lot of time and money, and that's bad, but I really think Trump thrives on that sort of nonsense. Pelosi, Slapsie Maxine Waters, Schiff - they make his points for him.
For another, people like Nelson in Florida and Adams in Georgia are, as we speak, showing their true colors by simply INSISTING that they haven't lost yet and if they just hold out for a few more days, those votes they need will turn up somewhere.
Of course, none of this would have happened if there hadn't been a mass exodus of Republicans who would rather retire than be small fish in a big pond. Thanks a lot, bitchez...

This. Back in the late 70's, all it did was make me really sleepy - and then really hungry. And that was the good stuff. I can only imagine how much more potent it is today.

Since it sounds like we lost the House, I want to shine a little ray of sunshine. It may be coming out of my ass but still...
Trump is probably going to be successful dealing with Democrats. He understands them. He has stuff they want. He knows how to negotiate. It is sometimes easier to deal with open enemies than with faithless friends.
But if you're feeling anxious, I find buying a case of ammo helps keep those feelings at bay

I have a buddy who tokes occasionally and he can attest to this. He took one bong a couple years ago with his friends and almost puked his guts out from how high it got him. Not only that, he felt a bit fucked for two days afterwards. I asked him if he thought it might have been laced, but supposedly it was from a "home-grown" source, not ditch weed.

I was born without a roof to my mouth and the surgery to fix that birth defect was in its infancy, to the point I have worn a prosthetic in my mouth for decades. Also, and, most likely due to the anesthetic back in the day, I have lung problems along with severe allergies. Now, as I've gotten older, I am in the early stages of emphysema along with arthritis developing in various joints and my hands.
However, I also thank God for how I am, because I truly believe, had I been born without the defects I have, I would have been an insufferable ass.
I try to get by in this life, and do okay, because this world isn't the one I'm interested in because I accept this life will not last.
It's the next life that interests me, because it's eternal and perfect.

I posted on the takeaways regarding the long run in the last thread.
This is my short term takeaway.
Like 2012, there were two polling tracks--conservative and liberal. From what I have seen of the actual popular vote for the House, the Dems were right at the overall 7-8 percent margin predicted by the more liberal polls to take over the House than Rasmussen, etc. Trump, for better or worse, nationalized the 2018 election along with the Dems actions in Kavanaugh. The Dem low intensity voters turned out, the Rep hard core turned out, and the independents swung to the Dems in the House. Senate is a bit more complicated.
Governorships are always swinging and rarely stay in one party's control for long. Note that even in now blue states, Vermont, Mass, and Maryland, the Dem's disfunction in the past Dem governorships let Republicans keep their seats. It is easier to vote out a non-performing governor than it is to overturn a legislature. Right now the Dem states that are defying the trend are New York, California, Washington, and Oregon, where even stale corrupt governors crappy policies are not punished. My guess is that mail votes in WA and OR and the cost of campaigning in NY and CA make these the exception for now.
Thus, the races turned less on the individual candidates than it did on the voter's opinion of Trump and the GOP. Polling is still unreliable at the local and state level to some extent but it appears that pollsters now have at least some work arounds. I suspect that the reason that it did not happen in 2016 at the congressional level is because Dems thought they had it in the bag (even Ryan did apparently).
Second, the massive amount of money spent by the Dems will have a carryover effect in 2020. The Dems have developed a much more effective ground game and lists of voters than the Republicans and have gotten out voters in 2012 and 2018 that past history would claim are unreliable. I suspect that in part, the rise of the internet along with early voting have created a structural change benefiting the Dems. Thus, the Republicans have a better handle on early voting but election day voting may have actually been toward the Dems which is historically not the case.
All too many of the Republicans candidates and officeholders are relying on the approved vendor list campaign consultants who churn out media ads, robo calls, unsolicited emails, and those darn campaign flyers.
The campaign consultants make their money of kickbacks on printing, robocalls, and ads. And as long time AOS posters can attest to, are in fact, are as reliable politically as Flint's water supply because they are mercenaries. Thus, the COC-RNC etc. connection of fundraising attracts, well grifters, to spend that money in COC approved ways and keep some of it themselves. Candidates would be far better to adopt the Luap nor method of soliciting small donors which the infrastructure exists to do so on the cheap. Small donors, especially from the district, are now committed and that also avoids the trap of having to do the COC bidding to keep your campaign funded. Every Rep. in the House and Senate should now have a more or less permanent campaign going.
True GOTV is much more intensive but relatively cheap--knocking on doors, soliciting small donations, rebuilding precincts and precinct captains, etc. Campaign consultants get little from it but hassle and margins are small on it which is why the grifting is better on the media side.
It also means that Congress critters and others need to do better at getting around the legacy media, shunning it, and depriving it of any resources.
That means developing things such as a real newsletter, social media presence, blogs, holding constituent functions anywhere (see Al D'Amato as an example), politely ignoring the COC types--don't want to piss them off but treating them like the Dems treat their rich leftist donors, they are a cash cow, not a source for legislation.
Have an effective constituent service program and doing outreach to even politically unfertile ground. Strom Thurmond routinely got about 20-30 percent of the black vote by focus on service to constituents and being around.
House and Senate leadership should demand loyalty on messaging and punish those that stray (denying access to campaign funds, seniority, logrolling, etc.) especially for those that try to virtue signal by flattering the Dems and media by attacking other Reps.
There is no sound reason to do so politically as the true Dems won't vote for you anyway and the swing voters do not care about your virtue signalling. Keep your trap shut.
What policies should be pursued is another kettle of fish and that depends more on Presidential leadership at the national level and addressing problems at the local/state level.
This is my short term takeaway.

History repeating itself. Crash the economy, depose who who the current party leader is, then replace the broken system with a totalitarian one. The economy MUST FALL/FAIL. Demorats in control of the Treasury, after squandering TRILLIONS under Obama and hiding much of it unaccountability. We ARE watching last centuries democrat party of Germany, going through the same tactics/ p.c. agendas here, seeking the same objectives.
