I am so glad that the Dems took the House to put a check and some balance on Trump and the Repuds.
I'm also glad that the Dems did poorly in the Senate races. Maybe their leaders will see that they need to do more for white workers and not just for minority workers.
No, I am not a racist, I'm a progressive.
What I mean is that Dems see minorities as part of their base, but they do not see workers [as such] as part of their base. Dems think that workers "have no where else to go".
Dems forget that they can stay home on election day.

The Republican Donald Party went up against the Founding Fathers and the Founding Fathers won. Checks and balances and moderation won the day.

I predicted this result in December in 2017 here on PoFo, so I feel vindicated.

No blue wave though, more like a Purple Puddle.

Now we're back to a do-nothing legislature, which is probably for the best.

They can't fuck my life up if they are too busy deadlocking the state apparatus.

It means the left-liberal elites continue to live in filter bubbles and safe spaces, everyone is judged on a 'racism spectrum' (themselves exempt, naturally) and half the country is deemed moral lepers, fit for nothing other than re-education camps and non-ironic eugenics programs. The borders will remain open, migration reform will be non-existent and the Republicans will be plotting behind the scenes to find a replacement for Trump (2020).

[One Degree]

Another 2 years of hearing, “Socialism for all and death to the deplorable workers.” I guess. Oh well.

[Torus34]

One result of the election might be that President of the United States of America Donald Trump no longer feels a need to modify his words and actions. He knows this. He's also still basking in the adulkation of his base in the campaign rallies. For him, it's full speed ahead. The firing of the AG is the first of a number of actions.

Nothing can happen without Trump's signature.

Win!

Don't forget it will be easier to confirm more conservative judges .....Winning

US politics are probably going to be even more entertaining now than they have been for the last two years.

[One Degree]

Hollywood has never produced a comedy farce to compete with US politics.

[MistyTiger]

Let's see how the pot will be stirred now.

I find it encouraging that people are waking up and thinking that they want to kick some Republican ass. Si, se puede!

We need to think about our future, be forward thinkers, embrace diversity and the environment.

He will likely appoint two or three more SCOTUS judges. Control of the senate will make it a walk over.

What the 2018 Mid-Term elections ''mean'' to me is that by all indications that I saw, the Democratic party is going the way of the Whigs and the Federalist parties-into ending as a historical footnote.

And I'm not shedding a tear, because of the Democratic parties loathsome social and personal immorality promotion and because of the ''welfarism'' they promote which narcotizes the working classes into submission. And, their cynical and evil use of the lumpenproletariat as a reserve army of unemployed and full time product consumers...

Of course, the democratic defeat won't get portrayed as such, which suits President Trump and his ultra-Capitalist faction quite well, as the GOP blunted the democratic onslaught and managed to pick up seats in the Senate, all the while purging the party of the GOP elitists. The GOP is now fully full-bore Capitalist with a Nationalist/Populist veneer.

Think ‘baby steps’. Capitalism with nationalism is still a step away from global capitalism. Those GOP elites were the worse capitalist puppets. As long as we are headed in the right direction, it is foolish to be overly concerned with the speed. I think Trump is a real populist and will regulate corporations when and if he is given the power. He sure was not shy about attacking them for not being more American. Their siding with Democrats is also a reason for them to only be untrustworthy temporary allies for Trump.
Not suggesting he is headed for socialism, but I will accept well regulated capitalism for now.

You're a fool, but again I'm talking to a guy who believes pointing out racism from the right is racist.

Calling the right racist. How avant Garde! How original!

Fuck. I thought we were finally rid of you EM when you got red carded....but no, here you are again race baiting and doing the same shit that got you all fucked up by the admins last time.

Piece of advice, go on a diet: "no discussion of race for six months, no blacks, no whites et al..."

You do this and you might at least have the appearance of a North Western Libertarian.

[One Degree]

:lol: You're a fool, but again I'm talking to a guy who believes pointing out racism from the right is racist.

‘It’s definitely hypocrisy when that is the only racism you think exists. You have to be pretty foolish to believe only white people are racist. How is the plan for an all Black Country in the South progressing?

[Libertarian353]

Cause it's true, right wingers have a bad track record of upholding minority rights and not be a dick to them because they have different skin tone.

Fuck. I thought we were finally rid of you EM when you got red carded....but no, here you are again race baiting and doing the same shit that got you all fucked up by the admins last time.

See here you are, proving my point.

Don't get mad when the shit you fling, comes back at you.

Piece of advice, go on a diet: "no discussion of race for six months, no blacks, no whites et al..."

How about you do that in addition to complaining about leftists.

You do this and you might at least have the appearance of a North Western Libertarian.

Are you implying that libertarians have to be white and not discuss racial topics? You just failed already.

‘It’s definitely hypocrisy when that is the only racism you think exists. You have to be pretty foolish to believe only white people are racist. How is the plan for an all Black Country in the South progressing?

In addition of making strawman argument, you already judged me of being someone I'm not. And I'm the real racist?

[Victoribus Spolia]

Cause it's true, right wingers have a bad track record of upholding minority rights and not be a dick to them because they have different skin tone.

Yeah, cause it was "the right" that systematically destroyed the black family and enslaved an entire generation to poverty and dependency.

But them fucking black jokes have got to go.

See here you are, proving my point.

You have a point? Thats news to.....pretty much everyone.

Fact is, your ad-hominem racism got you in trouble and your going down the same road again.

In addition of making strawman argument, you already judged me of being someone I'm not. And I'm the real racist?

Pics?

I showed you mine, now show me yours.

How about you do that in addition to complaining about leftists.

Easy.

I will agree to that deal, neither of us can mention race directly or indirectly and I won't mention leftists for six months. Whoever violates this rule has to leave PoFo forever.

Deal?

Muthafucka I don't play. Put up or shut up.

Are you implying that libertarians have to be white and not discuss racial topics? You just failed already.

You've claimed to be white, so this doesn't make any sense.

and, in case you haven't been keeping track, ALL you talk about is racial topics.
