&lt;i&gt;Didn&#039;t they get the memo the Kennedys are democrats? &lt;/i&gt;

I know, right! They simultaneously believe that the Clintons had JFK Jr. killed -- Roger Stone conspiracy bullshit -- and also that he&#039;s alive and will (any day now) become Trump&#039;s Vice President... as if John F. Kennedy, Jr. would actually serve as Don the Criminal Con&#039;s Vice President if he weren&#039;t deceased, cremated, and buried at sea. 

Comprehending facts and connecting dots: Not their strong suit.

&lt;i&gt;Think they might settle for a Dead Kennedys reunion concert? &lt;/i&gt;

Heh... punk. ;)</description>

&lt;i&gt;Bottom line results are the only thing worth giving a fuck about. &lt;/i&gt;

Well put... I mostly agree.

As for Don Harris, he is the board expert on getting &quot;substandard results&quot; where nothing ever changes and he doesn&#039;t &quot;consider what it means.&quot; People aren&#039;t buying into his repetitive &quot;show,&quot; and it&#039;s always the &quot;same empty promises and substandard results without demanding better&quot; of himself. Tragic, really.</description>

		<description>Y&#039;all would not believe the crowd of QAnon Trump cult nuts that invaded downtown Dallas yesterday waiting for what they insisted would be the deceased Kennedys making a reappearance. They were expecting John F. Kennedy Sr. being resurrected and shown to the world on 11/2 in Dallas where he was shot at the &quot;grassy noel&quot; at &quot;Deiley Plaza.&quot; They referred to it as &quot;the beginning and the end.&quot; They expected JFK Sr. would then transfer power to Donald Trump (as if that was &quot;a thing&quot;) and that JFK Jr. would become Trump&#039;s vice president -- &quot;any day now&quot; -- and still clinging to that from a previous move of the goalposts. They referred to it as the &quot;second coming of Christ&quot; because they believe the Kennedys are the &quot;Jesus bloodline.&quot;

https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1455597102973784076

When not a single one of the deceased Kennedys returned to the &quot;grassy noel&quot; at the expected time, the goalposts were moved to the Rolling Stones concert, where I can report firsthand that John F. Kennedy, Sr. -- who would be 104 years old today -- did not appear to anoint Trump as POTUS and Jr. as VP.  

I did, however, see a lot of other old guys making some noise.</description>

		<description>I was at a Rolling Stones concert last night and missed all the election returns, which went about how I expected... except New Jersey governor, expected around a 5-point win for Murphy... did not see that coming.

It was cold and wet and a wonderful concert, and somebody streamed it live:

No, not what I mean.

And, I don&#039;t think Dems know what to do with it, anyways so, my point, if I had one, is moot. :)</description>

		<description>I just heard Axelrod, a political genius (so-called by the CNN morning host, ahemm) say that the reason Republicans did so well last night was because, you know, the party in power always doew badly and the people are feeling pretty ornery, presently, and, well, this is all a natural course of events given how people are feeling.

Can Dems really be that stupid?</description>

Do you mean&lt;i&gt; if Dems start running Progressive candidates with Prog policies instead of Republican-lite DINOs?&lt;/i&gt; I&#039;m as disappointed about McAullife losing as I was about Hillary losing. &lt;i&gt;Good.&lt;/i&gt; I recall thinking. &lt;i&gt;A President Hillary would have set back Progressives at least 8 years. Trump may well suck so bad it creates an opening for the Democratic wing of the Democratic party.&lt;/i&gt;


















I&#039;m prepared to ignore the thousands of upcoming &lt;i&gt;What It Means&lt;/i&gt; columns, just like I strictly ignore all the blow-by-blow accounts of Dem&#039;s sausage making. Bottom line results are the only thing worth giving a fuck about.</description>

		<description>@cw,

NJ is the most densely populated state in the nation. so when the republicans really get motivated and turn out to vote, they can cancel out the democratic-leaning urban centers. NJ almost always goes blue in presidential elections because on average it&#039;s more socially liberal than the nation overall. however, homegrown conservatives aren&#039;t as hamstrung by &quot;culture wars&quot; campaigning, so they win with some regularity on regional issues and personal appeal.</description>

But VA seems to be within 2-3 points right now... running out of votes to count, but it does seem like it might come down to the wire... feeling better about it now than I was 1/2 hr ago, at any rate...

Sorry, I&#039;ve got no control over my ISP.  They&#039;re a little tiny local operation, which I love because that way a giant corporation doesn&#039;t ever deal with my data.  But it does have its drawbacks, I will admit...

Oh, could have been a storm outage too, our power&#039;s been kinda blinky, rainy season has started early...

		<description>Then there&#039;s always &quot;Throwing Stones&quot;

And the whole world full of petty wars
Singing I got mine and you got yours
While the current fashions set the pace
Lose your step, fall out of grace
The radical, he rant and rage
Singing someone got to turn the page
And the rich man in his summer home
Singing just leave well enough alone
But his pants are down, his cover&#039;s blown
And the politicians throwing stones
So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones
&#039;Cause it&#039;s all too clear we&#039;re on our own
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It&#039;s dizzying, the possibilities
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
(Ashes, ashes, all fall down)

		<description>Let me also admit that I don&#039;t think Biden (or any Democrat) would ever have been elected US president if he wasn&#039;t running against Trump.

There are lessons to be learned if you&#039;re a Democrat running for higher and high office.

Will they ever get learned?</description>
