I sent my first tweet this evening:

@SenFeinstein Can you have Michael Avenatti cross examine Kavanaugh?

Sort by date Sort by votes

The Dems picked up the House; grabbed a few governorships. It doesn't like the Republicans were successful suppressing the vote. John James (R) lost his Senate bid in Michigan; suppression didn't work unless it was the other side suppressing the vote? Why is it when a Democrat loses its racism or suppression or stolen election, or some other cause but when a Republican loses it's called democracy? And people wonder why Trump was elected.

Republicans suppressing the vote? To the contrary, now we know how the Democrats changed the results of all those races in California. They went door to door, collecting (or harvesting) votes which they wanted. Wonder how many votes they decided not to turn in.


There was an explanation that the reason it took so long to count the votes was that it is a big state, so a lot of votes. But with a lot of votes, wouldn't you have a lot of counters?

There was a story on Fox today, Paul Ryan is scratching his head as well.

And the Christmas show, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is a "problematic" story.[reindeer] Santa's a bigot and Donner's a sexist. [santa4]

No more bizarre than Florida, but I haven't heard Paul Ryan comment about it.

And then we have the case of the North Carolina 9th Congressional district where the vote count has been halted altogether until a potential criminal investigation is completed. It seems that a company was hired to help process absentee ballots and then an odd thing happened, of the thousands of ballots requested and mailed-out, very few of them ever made it back to the election office from a certain couple of counties. And now it seems that they can't find any of these missing ballots. Then it was revealed that the Republican candidate, who currently leads by 905 votes, offered to pay a $40,000 'bonus' to the owner of the company processing the absentee ballots if he was declared the winner. Now what could possibly go wrong...

Certainly a lot of funny business going on, and I don't think you can blame any of it on Russia.

In Florida, the governor recently removed the Dade County election supervisor. I guess they had enough of her incompetence. In North Carolina let the chips fall where they may.

Tucker Carlson on Fox is the only one talking about how China is an actual threat to the US. Last night, he had an interview with a Democrat stragegist, who agreed with him. S the Chinese government has a lot a US politicians in their pocket.

Are you sure that it was the Miami-Dade County election supervisor? From everything that I've read, she did a great job:


Perhaps you had in mind the election supervisor in Broward County.

You're right. To me, Dade, Broward, it's all the same in terms of elections. Although if I get pulled over for a traffic stop I better know the difference; in ------ I can mention the name of a boyhood friend who is a big wig in the sheriff's department and maybe get a break.

Ah, Florida. That's where I vote, as it was the last place I lived in the US. But to me, it's crazy how many things they vote for. Judges, sheriffs, election supervisor, etc. Most voters wouldn't know who or what they are voting for. Apparently, one of the state constitutional changes that was just accepted requires the election of all election supervisors. The two who screwed up are elected, the one in Miami who did a good job is non-elected. Progress? I don't think so.

For anyone still following these stories, isn't it nice to see the chooks come home to roost for the Creepy Porn Lawyer Avenatti?

The reality is that greed comes in shades of both RED and BLUE.

True, but we have to stop justifying bad behavior with bad behavior.
