Reflections On The Other Night

Your prayers have been answered.

The 2018 Midterm election is history.

This was supposed to be an important election, if not THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION simply because it was the first national election since Trump convinced Vladimir to make him President. (Just a joke, lighten up Francis!)

If you haven't noticed, "Progressives"*  (Super Liberals)  are now the base of the Democratic Party and they have accepted the Trump Presidency like the kids have accepted Mom's new boyfriend after the divorce. The Progressives are young and very, um, immature, and they are obsessed with Trump.

This was going to be the election they bring The Orange Monster back down to size

Welp, it didn't quite work out that way.

The Democrats have won a majority of seats in The House of Representatives, which means we will have the pleasure of having Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of The House.  I know you are as thrilled as I am because if there is one thing I want to hear from one of our country's leaders is that we have to pass a bill before we know what's in it. Thanks, Nancy, they didn't tell us that in "School House Rock".

The Republicans kept control of the Senate because every Senate Democrat wants to become President in 2020. In order to do that, they must appeal to their base (ie: Liberal Arts Majors who live with their moms or "Loons").

This caused the Democrats to turn The Kavanaugh Hearing into a total circus with one prospective president declaring he was "Spartacus" for some arcane reason. This was between a little free show with the Liberal Arts majors jumping up and yelling something unintelligible like they had  Tourette's Syndrome or were filled with the Holy Spirit.

Then, just as The Senate Judiciary Committee was ready to vote on Brett Kavanaugh, the ranking Democrat produced a letter (ah ha!) from a lady that said Kavanaugh had kind of/sort of /probably sexually assaulted her in 1983 when they were both in high school.

This led to a delay because the lady lived in California and didn't like to fly. So they put it off for a week even though, as it was later revealed. the lady was in Delaware the entire time.

Of course, this led to other accusers coming out of the woodwork with various accounts of sexual misconduct, with the last one being Kavanaugh ran some sort of Georgetown Rape Club like he was in "A Clockwork Orange".

Anyway, the lady testified and was deemed credible by the future Presidents on the committee even though she didn't remember anything about what happened.  Kavanaugh returned to testify to the committee and made a lot of the chattering class upset because he: A) drinks beer and B) takes umbrage at being called a gang rapist.

The best part, though, was when a Senator questioned Kavanaugh about Kavanaugh's teenage euphemism for farting. That was worth every penny of taxpayer money.

Kavanaugh was confirmed by the Senate but the whole spectacle caused Republicans around to sit up and ask.  "Are we having another election this year?"  The yawning and stretching energized Republicans made it to the polls this year, after stopping for donuts, saved The Senate for the GOP.

Well, it is all over but the shouting.  At least I thought it was.  It turns out several races are still "too close to call". The Senate race in Arizona is a true see-saw battle.  It should come as no surprise that Florida is too close to call in both the Senate race and the gubernatorial race.

And of course, here in Georgia, the race between Shotgun Goofball and Selena Montogomery** is still too close to call. Great. Just great.

President Trump celebrated the results of the Midterm election by blowing raspberries at the Republicans who lost and firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions.  Trump got into a verbal scuffle with CNN reporter Jim Acosta. Acosta, if you didn't know, has appointed himself the savior of the world.

In other words, it was Wednesday at The White House.



* Important historical note: Progressivism start out in The Republican Party.  You know Teddy Roosevelt, Bull Moose and all that. My high school history teacher should be pleased.

**Shotgun Goofball was the nickname given to Republican Brian Kemp by the gang of  "The Von Haessler Doctrine" on WSB AM750 and 95.5 FM.   Selena Montgomery is the pen name for Stacy Abrams who has written best selling romance novels.
