Sometimes you have to let a news story percolate for awhile before the fog starts clearing away. We're noticing that with the midterms. And things just keep improving.
As in, remember 2006? We Democrats took the House of Representatives in a big blue wave. Yes, a wave. We picked up 31 seats.
Today, Democrats have already captured that many House seats, and races keep getting called — for us! It looks now like we might edge up closer to 40. So, all that hand-wringing about how there was no wave this year? It was WRONG. Thank you.
It's pretty hard to be depressed when a right-wing GOP maniac like Karen Handel concedes defeat to plucky gun-violence survivor Lucy McBath in Newt Gingrich's old Georgia district. (Note to Kellyanne Conway: We're "laughing our Ossoff" backatcha, bitch.)
We'll also take the interesting news from Florida, that the races for Senate and Governor are headed for recounts. Just goes to show you that Democrats shouldn't allow their do-the-right-thing reflexes to kick in too early, and concede before they should. Andrew Gillum, please call up Al Gore for instructions on how to take a concession back.
And we're thrilled that Democrats gained not only seven governorships but also hundreds of state legislative seats. That's going to make a huge difference in 2020 and beyond, folks.
Finally — and maybe this is mean of us but we don't care — we think it's hilarious that Tucker Carlson is freaked out about protesters at his house. Do you think Tucker knows that Christine Blasey Ford is still getting death threats? Serves Tucker and all his fellow FOX "News" propadandists right. Or, as Corey Lewandowski would say, whomp-whomp. We cats PURR.
