A black transgender activist, Andrea Jenkins, was elected to the Minneapolis City Council. A Hispanic woman won the mayor’s race in Topeka, Kan. A Sikh man was elected mayor in Hoboken, N.J. Latina, Vietnamese and transgender female candidates won state legislative races. Black candidates were elected lieutenant governor in New Jersey and Virginia. A Liberian refugee in Helena, Mont., was elected mayor.

Mark Keam, a Korean-American Democrat who was re-elected on Tuesday to his seat in Virginia’s House of Delegates, said the wave of first-time minority candidates was a direct response to feeling snipped out of the American picture by Mr. Trump’s policies and divisive language.

“In Trump’s America, people are getting screwed and those getting screwed more than others are people who’ve never had a voice in the government,” Mr. Keam said. “Those are motivations a white guy wouldn’t have.”

What goes around comes around, and on Tuesday, karma came for President Trump and his Republican acolytes. From Washington to Maine, New Jersey to North Carolina, Trumpist ugliness was met and vanquished, sometimes by the very targets of right-wing scorn.

HP,

You, the Zionists at the NYT, the establishment Dems and repubs, and the other control freaks still don't get it. It's not about dam vs. repub anymore, it's old school Dems-Repubs-MSM vs outsiders.

Who won in 2008? Who won in 2016? the outsider both times. Who won on Tuesday? Guess who has been losing for the last few years?

Drop your self-forged chains dude. I'll bet money they say "Made in Zion" on them somewhere!

RICHMOND, Va. — The American suburbs appear to be in revolt against President Trump after a muscular coalition of college-educated voters and racial and ethnic minorities dealt the Republican Party a thumping rejection on Tuesday and propelled a diverse class of Democrats into office.

..

“Voters are taking their anger out at the president, and the only way they can do that is by going after Republicans on the ballot,” said Representative Charlie Dent, Republican of Pennsylvania.

The Democrats’ gains signaled deep alienation from the Republican Party among the sort of upscale moderates who were once central to their coalition.

Republicans in Washington seemed near panic Thursday in the light of a news report in which four women
said Roy S. Moore , the Republican nominee for a United States Senate seat in Alabama and an evangelical Christian, had made sexual or romantic overtures to them when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican majority leader, said Mr. Moore should step aside ahead of the Dec. 12 special election if the allegations were true.

A senior Republican official — a conservative Christian — texted me yesterday to say:

So Franken and Conyers are out while the GOP is rallying to and will likely be stuck with Moore. I truly never thought I’d see the day when the GOP ceded the moral high ground to the Democrats on sexual ethics. I’m truly stunned.

The GOP’s Moral Bankruptcy
The Democratic Party is now more reliable on sexual ethics

Angelo Codevilla was actually right on this, this big show of cleaning up their act is a power move to maintain the status quo.

Neither party is jumping at the chance to expose the members (pun intended) in their party who have accessed the "hush-up-sweetie" slush fund money. That would be a start.

Why are all the female members of the Congress and Senate silent about the existence of this fund?

From his tweet, it sounds like John Conyers has a good starting list if the Dems wanted to clean up their side of the poop fest. We need a label for history. Pussy-gate..... Kitty Twerk (ha! typed in as Titty Tweek) gate

Dems are setting the stage for removing Trump prior to 2020, or at least running a female candidate in 2020. Male Dems who want to be POTUS in 2020 need not apply. Campaign strategists are studying the movie PCU as we type.

Having a penis is the new black!

That's true. Strom Thurmond wasn't hanging out in the Senate chambers as a homunculus because he had firm convictions...well he had some pretty firm convictions on the women who rode the elevators with him....but other than those!

All those young adults satirized in that PCU movie have grown up, are running things...and this is the result. Verily their way shall be filled with disaster. Those kids born roughly between '66 and '81 are truly literal Hitlers! Really, in Trumpian terms: Generation X'ers are not sending us their best! Sad!

True cosmic justice in my simple mind!

As always, I am humbled by your superi-oralness (SM slang for your bitchin vocabulary).

I hope Moore wins today, just because I want to see the MSM go bat-shite crazy a few moore times in my life. If he loses, coverage will be ho-hum.

yep, it's all about the circuses with me....
