The GOP is now praising Kavanaugh for advocating for women lawyers.

Guess who the Democrats blame? Avenatti

Is the topic quote in reference to The Decemberists' song? That whole album has a very anti-Trump political tone. The linear nots thank Robert Mueller and the vinyl has 'impeach the president' on it.

Nintex · « **Reply #24372 on:** October 06, 2018, 04:34:29 PM »

So when are the Democrats going to rebuild their party after all these staggering losses?

I can't help but think that they keep losing these battles because they are divided. They have senators in Red States who vote with Trump to save their seats only to have Trump grill them at his rallies.
They have no real leader (Avenatti is the front runner but he's just constantly making things worse for everybody) and screaming 'Russia!' for 2 years while courting CNN and MSNBC talking heads has delivered them 0 in political gains.

The GOP was what Trump would call a 'well oiled machine' during this process. They stick together at times like these and even George Bush placed some calls to Collins in support of Brett.
Also they pretty much did everything by the book. Actually had Ford testify and in the end called for an FBI investigation.

Anyways libs will continue to be fucking distinguished mentally-challenged. They want to change something in this country? Start leaving NY and Cali for red states instead of swinging your pink hair everywhere on the steps of Capitol Hill simply to get seen on camera.

the compression in the version posted looks a little sus. when you click through and see the og version it looks less shitty and the other pics give a better sense of the effect the flash has

Don't pretend it doesn't look like one of those meme photo's mandark. You've been on the internet long enough.
Now that I've seen the og and the other pictures I also agree that it is a real photograph.

Not sure that they'll gain. But I'm quite certain that they won't lose much either.
I have this idea of seats swapping. Some reds turn blue, some blue turn red and then you get one or two independent party or green party people in there in an "upset".

At this point everything is 50/50 plus give or take a few percentage points. So unless everyone who didn't vote last time starts registering en masse the end result of all these elections will be roughly the same.

Mandark · « **Reply #24392 on:** October 06, 2018, 06:58:24 PM »

literally every single news story, you say it's good for republicans

how could they possibly not gain seats?

Buried lede here is that Nintex thinks the Green party will get a congressional seat for the first time in their history, presumably because he confused them with the UK Green party.

or because he confused congressional elections with party list voting

or he's literally not smart enough to understand the difference

Nintex · « **Reply #24394 on:** October 06, 2018, 07:05:05 PM »

I dunno, I just think it would be funny if one of McAfee's independent party crypto bois ended up getting a seat. No clue if any are running but they have a party so I assume candidates.

That's a weak bet. I will have to think this over.

If they win one seat they don't have a victory. Even when they're at 50/50 Pence can tie break everything.

Mandark · « **Reply #24403 on:** October 06, 2018, 07:30:06 PM »

Pence doesn't have vote in the House, and there are an odd number of seats.

Right now the House is 240 Republican, 195 Democratic*.

You're predicting that the GOP will also have 240 seats after the midterms. Okay. Are you comfortable taking a bet where you leave this thread if the Republicans miss that benchmark? If not, where would you set the line?

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Strictly speaking it's 235-193, but with vacancies in 5 Republican and 2 Democratic seats that will be filled by the midterms.

I think Lepering just made it so they couldn't post new threads (I'm not 100% sure though because the Leper category appears to have been replaced with either Ebola or Lupus at some point by a previous administration). I could make it so he couldn't post at all and could only like posts, but even that feels like giving him too much power.
