Some random entertainment, a summary and a few days of respite
Mostly other peoples' stuff
I’ll be silent after today till late this week as I prep for a bit of vacation R&R. Here’s a bit of respite and mirth for you.
Between Two Ferns
Respite Carin’ for the Despot Karen
Amid the rain and snow and wind and bigotry
this will surely follow next summer.
Bill Maher gets back to humor for a bit (contains adult language in reams)
The Stream of Crunchiness Midterm Election Post-Mortem
It's a Blue Wave, a victory for every hard won office, from Cortez Masto and the union workers in the casinos, to a guy fighting back from a stroke and losing a huge amount of weight to get his health back, to Katie Porter who is gonna win because she's that good that she gets votes in a red district, to a number of upsets in House districts so the typical historical midterm turnover was extremely low, endangering the jobs of McCarthy and McConnell, to the infighting between Trump and DeSantis (and the FBI and the IRS and the DOJ and the NY AG and the Fulton County DA and Rupert Murdoch and Fox News and the entire media and every comedian on the planet) and..... (deep breath)
… look at the Black vote, the Latino vote, the record midterm turnout of the Millennials and look at the Women's vote in *every* ethnicity. Many of the pollsters didn't see it coming, the media didn't, the Bannons and Stones and Flynns didn't, and let's not forget the stumping efforts of Biden and Obama.
Biden even met with a group of young Tik-Tok influencers and told them what's up and even the apolitical ones joined the fight.... because 'Sleepy' Joe was woke enough to grasp how the young voters are reaching a broader audience than the Twitterati ... and the Redhatters & the Redwavers went broke not woke.
Yah, when the ketchup hits the wall with that degree of G-force, I'm certain that's a GREAT BLUE WAVE.
Thank you Women. Thank you Millennials. Thank you, Black people. Thank you Latinos. And thank you Ghost of Harry Reid.
Turns out it’s the billionaires that own the Libs…
This was hilarious as well as uplifting. I needed this. Thank you.❤️
