Waiting on a Trump snicker meme

Trump is a lame duck. Very possible out of anger the psycho starts a new war. As president he can do that. He waits up in the morning with a bad mood, he asks where to bomb next?

 

[KAL-EL]

Nope.

Here in the land of inbred retarded Okies, Republicans won nearly every office, again.

Sorry to know that, but nationally speaking it was a virtual red Wipeout

Everyone is talking about the Senate and the House, but the real Blue Tsunami may have swept the governor's mansions too.

Before this election Democrats held 24 governorship and Republicans held 26. Since then Democrats have flipped Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, and Nevada. That's FIVE Republican governorships gone.

And we're still waiting on Alaska and Kansas, where Democrats are currently leading.

But for me, the most inspiring victories were Georgia and Texas. Georgia elected its first Black woman governor, while Texas elected a Hispanic woman governor. Those aren't just election wins. Those are history-making moments.

What a night. What a wave!!!

Josh Shapiro was a clear winner to be sworn back in as Governor of Pennsylvania again. Watch out for him in 2028

I actually like Josh Shapiro. He's smart, disciplined, and probably one of the better political talents Democrats have right now. Being Jewish, he's had to walks a very careful line on the Israel-Palestine issue, and honestly, I think he's handled it about as well as anyone could.

I think you may have misunderstood what he was saying. He's talking specifically about Oklahoma, not the national results. That's his state, he lives there, and he's clearly frustrated by the outcome there.

In Oklahoma, Republicans won the governorship and all five House seats, so when he said they won nearly every office again, he was referring to Oklahoma, not the country as a whole.

Oh! Then I am sorry for that.. sad to hear about his state.. I think a little more years there farmers should work without Hispanic help then there stiff necks will break and they will move away from racist reds..

Completely agree with everything you said.

I think he said he's not running for president but I wouldn't rule it out. He's a very good governor and not a right or left-wing nut job

He would definitely be appealing to Independents and moderates.

I hail from Pennsylvania. So I know the politics as well if not better than most here.

You are spot on with Shapiro.

Personally, I liken him to be the Kennedy of the 2020s. And, he knows it too.

I think you were from Erie right? I live in the Philadelphia area

I'm a big fan of Governor Shapiro. I think he could go far if he wanted to run for prez
