I was into a screed about the recent election, near the end, when a hit on the wrong set of keys caused it to disappear. Happens. For what it’s worth, I’ll try to reconstruct.
To call this a Democrat sweep is both obvious, and largely besides the point. As I’ve said, it doesn’t really matter that much in the first year of the Donald’s second try at destroying what’s left of our democracy. Remember:
-They may impeach him yet again, but I cannot envision the next step, conviction/removal
– There’s only Hillbilly Elegy as a result. Even were it to happen.
The GOP has a year to have most of us forget. We need a similar result in the 2026 midterms, Voters have short memories. It will require a lot of work by the Dem majority (hopefully) in the new Congress to begin reversal of damage already incurred.
All that said, the election results seem to track what appears to be an overwhelming rejection of the Trump presidency, writ large. There have been several mass demonstrations, largely peaceful, against it.
As I write this, Marjorie Taylor Green’s resignation may be the start of a stampede toward the exits on the part of GOP House backbenchers. In the meantime:
The Epstein Files. What part did POTUS play? What does he have to hide?
What does Putin have on him?
How much has the First Family been enriched by his presidency?
Is he for real about paying his family $250 million (or is it billion) to pay for his legal defense related to the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection?
Don’t know ‘bout you, but I’m sick to death of la famille Trump. Can’t the GOP find us another whipping boy? Historically, most U.S Presidents have profited by their exposure to this office (I can think of one exception last century: Harry S Truman, who never even owned a home. One of our most consequential, according to historians). I can’t help thinking Trump’s greatest triumph may have been his cameo in the movie “Home Alone”. Had to louse it up by being President.
