Lots of scary notions floating around today: like if the Republicans take even one of two houses of Congress next year, they'll refuse to certify the 2024 election if a Democrat wins. So let's all make sure we gain some seats in 2022, shall we? Meanwhile, here are some other thoughts for our first semi-post-pandemic, kinda-sorta socially distanced, and very definitely masked Halloween.
Election Day in Virginia is nearly here. The lines this weekend to early vote have been long. But Democrats, please brace yourselves: As soon as the polls close at 7 pm on Tuesday, Glenn Trumpkin and his merry band of fascist Republican lawyers will be besieging the courts to turn away anyone left in line. Even though the Virginia Department of Elections says: "As long as you are in line by 7 pm, you will be able to vote." (Sorry, we just realized that "fascist Republican" is redundant these days.)
It's been difficult to put up with the coverage of the Virginia race, which in our view has been over-the-top and horse race-y to gin up cable news ratings. It's additionally frustrating because you know that even if Terry McAuliffe wins, the talking heads will shrug and say, "Democrats always win Virginia now." Darned if you do and darned if you don't.
We don't understand this whole Brandon thing, but we're not flying Southwest Airlines any time soon. Maybe ever.
The scariest Halloween costume for 2021? A justice of the US Supreme Court. We cats HISS.
