Yesterday provided a strong endorsement of the Biden Administration and Democratic governance. Biden and his handlers will see it as such. Two years of galloping inflation, a failing economy, an open Southern border, escalating crime, free college tuition, and sky rocketing gas prices were not enough to remove the scales from voter's eyes.

This must surely be the governance the majority of Americans desire. How could it be read otherwise ?

Now to find my can opener.

#2 Surprised? I'm not. There might be quite a few GOP'ers with egg on their faces.

Of course, results aren't all in yet, but, come on, did anybody really expect a fair fight?

#3 ...Fetterman won in PA, but I'd bet good money that if he gets sworn in, he won't last long before resigning and being replaced by his wife.

Mrs Fetterman seems to have all the unpleasant qualities of a cross between Hilary! Clinton and Jill Biden.

#7 I saw an analysis - can't remember where

Generation Z (born 97-2012) went strongly for Democrats.

Boomers, Gen X went strongly for Republicans.

Republicans has slight lead among Millennials (born 81-96).

Generation Z has extremely high rates of mental sickness and extremely high usage of social media.

Ukraine urging globe to ‘force Russia into peace talks,’ hard turn from previous stance
NEW YORK POST
By Evan Simko-Bednarski
November 8, 2022 6:50pm

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the international community to “force Russia into real peace talks” — a change in tone since September when Kyiv seemed to close the door on negotiations

… a “change in tone.” At 6:50pm Eastern on America’s national Election Night.

I wonder what could possibly have caught the little man’s attention?

#12 “A hard turn from their previous stance.”

Gee, could it possibly be because the GOP dominated House will scrutinize where exactly the $5 billion in slush sent to Kyiv is actually going?

Go get ‘em, Jim Jordan.

(Hint: as a head start, check out the Pandora Papers to find the Caribbean offshore accounts of these thieves.)

#13 * $5B in US-funneled slush EVERY MONTH.

Here’s an overview of Zelensky et Cie’s corruption. His British Virgin Islands-registered money laundering vehicle is called “Maltex Multicapital Corporation.”

What Pandora Papers revealed about Zelensky offshore accounts and funding from Ukranian kleptocracy
13 March 2022
KEYWORDS: kleptocracy, Kolomoisky, pandora papers, Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rode to power on pledges to clean up the Eastern European country, but the Pandora Papers reveal he and his close circle were the beneficiaries of a network of shady Caribbean offshore companies, including some that owned expensive London property.

Key Findings

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his partners owned a network of offshore companies based in the British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, and Belize.

Zelensky’s current chief aide, Serhiy Shefir, as well as the head of the country’s Security Service, were part of the offshore network.
Offshore companies were used by Shefir and another business partner to buy pricey London real estate.

Around the time of his 2019 election, Zelensky handed his shares in a key offshore company over to Shefir, but the two appear to have made an arrangement for Zelensky’s family to continue receiving money from the offshore entity.

#15 My takeaways: Deme bete noir MTG won in a walk, other dem bete noir Boebert may lose.

All the scraggly beard Twitter "conservatives" in the sidebar at Rantingly have the collective mental firepower of a soggy party popper. Woe betide the future of conservatism if they are not marginalized and tuned out.

#24 Between now and 2024 the real abuse of power by this administration can be expected. This election, whether honest or not, has set the apparent context of the American people not being that upset with the way things are when push comes to shove. This will embolden the people in charge behind the senile Puppet to keep him on a while longer and push even more socialism down our throats.

Make no mistake, the EFFBEYE will be hyper-actively looking for the beginnings of the "ugly ones" described above.
