Yeah, the Party opposite the newly elected one in the WH usually wins many congressional seats in that first midterm. Getting all excited about the prospect of something that normally happens happening is like doing backflips over that Repub gubernatorial squeaker in Virginia.

In four short years TrumpShit lost the House, the Senate and the White House.

That does not happen often.

In fact, that only happened to TrumpShit.

I am still doubled over in laughter about it.

Long live TrumpShit.

And it's election magic.

One of New Jersey's most powerful elected Democrats conceded Wednesday that he lost reelection to a Republican political newcomer, a commercial truck driver who spent only a couple thousand dollars on his campaign.

State Sen. President Steve Sweeney's loss to Edward Durr in southern New Jersey shocked state officials and left state Democrats, who control the Legislature, searching for a new leader.

"I of course accept the results. I want to congratulate Mr. Durr and wish him the best of luck," Sweeney said during a speech at the statehouse complex Wednesday.

Sweeney said his loss to Durr, who spent at least $2,300 in the contest, was the result of overwhelming GOP turnout in his suburban Philadelphia, politically split district. He lost by about 2,000 votes.

"It was a red wave," he said.

Yeah, the Party opposite the newly elected one in the WH usually wins many congressional seats in that first midterm. Getting all excited about the prospect of something that normally happens happening is like doing backflips and cartwheels over that Repub gubernatorial squeaker in Virginia.

Btw, that Dem was so "powerful" I'm guessing nobody outside of New Jersey ever heard of him.

I'm guessing he got a call from the "big guy" saying are you out of your fucking mind, "wrap it up" we can't let you say you found more votes.

If you had been following real news broadcasts then you would know that the democrat claimed to have found 12,000 more votes for himself 5 days after the election was over and 100% of the votes had been counted. Similar to the general election when the democrats found votes in the middle of the night. Now every honest person would think that the election was over after 100% of the vote was counted but some democrats seem to want to get 110% of the votes counted. Only in the democrat world can you get more votes than voters.

The NEWSLAX link says, "The page you are looking for is unavailable." It must have been a real whopper to get pulled off the 'net so quickly.

And your other link says the Dem is still refusing to concede in light of the fact that the ballots are still coming in and there is evidence a ton of them that were not counted, a Repub tactic we'll be seeing more and more going forward. So who is this person supposedly telling the Dem to "wrap it up"?

Brace yourself you got much more red wave coming in 2022 jajajaja and 2024.

More CRT please!

Mucho mas! ROTFLMMFAO.

Our lord and savior is coming back to town.

One of New Jersey's most powerful elected Democrats conceded Wednesday that he lost reelection to a Republican political newcomer, a commercial truck driver who spent only a couple thousand dollars on his campaign.

State Sen. President Steve Sweeney's loss to Edward Durr in southern New Jersey shocked state officials and left state Democrats, who control the Legislature, searching for a new leader.

"I of course accept the results. I want to congratulate Mr. Durr and wish him the best of luck," Sweeney said during a speech at the statehouse complex Wednesday.

Sweeney said his loss to Durr, who spent at least $2,300 in the contest, was the result of overwhelming GOP turnout in his suburban Philadelphia, politically split district. He lost by about 2,000 votes.

"It was a red wave," he said.

Sweeney, who spent about $305,000 on his campaign, added that he won't be withdrawing from public life, though he stopped short of saying whether he would seek election to the Senate again or run for governor in 2025. He said that he is going to continue to focus on "the things that are important to the people of this state."

"What the voters said in this election is New Jersey is a state filled with hardworking people who want to provide for their families and as leaders we need to speak directly to the concerns of all voters," he said. "I plan to keep speaking to those concerns."

Durr planned to speak later Wednesday.

His loss unfolded in a politically competitive suburban district that includes parts of Gloucester, Cumberland and Salem counties, which split their votes between Democrats and Republicans in the presidential elections in 2016 and again in 2020.

It also coincided with boosted GOP turnout in an off-year election that saw Republicans win across the state. Durr's victory, which The Associated Press declared Thursday, netted about 3% more votes than Sweeney did in 2017 in unofficial returns.

Sweeney's attention was also focused on tight Senate races elsewhere in the state.

Wednesday's speech was unusually formal for Sweeney, who stood before a lectern with the state seal, speaking in a quiet voice.

He sad he entered politics after his daughter Lauren was born prematurely and had developmental disabilities. He said he stayed with her in the hospital because he had a good benefits at his job, as a union ironworker.

"Twenty years later, I was able to make sure that all New Jersey parents had the same opportunity to be with their loved ones in their time of greatest need when the paid family leave bill I sponsored was signed into law," he said.

Sweeney has served as Senate president since 2010 and was responsible for shepherding Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy's progressive agenda through the Legislature, including a phased-in $15 an hour minimum wage, paid sick leave and recreational marijuana legalization.

He is also known for his high-profile reversal on opposition to same-sex marriage. Sweeney said in 2011 that he made the "biggest mistake of my legislative career" when he voted against marriage equality.

Though Sweeney was a fellow Democrat, he fought Murphy at the start of his administration over raising income taxes on the wealthy and worked closely with Republican Chris Christie during his eight-year term in office ending in 2018.

A deal he worked out with Christie to overhaul public worker pensions put Sweeney at odds with public sector unions, who would go on to become key supporters of Murphy.

Thought he has clashed with Sweeney, Murphy said last week he bemoaned the loss and said he didn't welcome the news.

Sweeney said he wouldn't be seeking a recount, which is not automatic in New Jersey and would have to be financed by the party seeking the tally.

"In October, 25 out of every 100,000 residents of heavily Trump counties died from COVID, more than three times higher than the rate in heavily Biden counties (7. 8 per 100,000). October was the fifth consecutive month that the percentage gap between the death rates in Trump counties and Biden counties widened."

Who says the news is always negative? This is great news as our political future seems brighter and brighter.

There is zero evidence Repubs even know much less remotely understand how and why Trump's Great Repub Crash and Recession due to his incomparable contribution to producing Trump's Pandemic caused the current Supply-Chain paralysis and consequent inflation issues.

I think if they were smarter than a bag of rocks.

Here is one of the great democrat accomplishments in California. These 11 cities can be proud.

A very special heartfelt thanks goes to all the Dem voters in those cities who did not vote for the Great Trump Repub Crash and Recession or Trump's Pandemic that has so far mass murdered 750,000+ Americans but did vote for the Great Biden Dem Economic Recovery and Expansion and his saving millions of American lives.

As opposed to all Repubs everwhere who voted for Trump's Great Repub Crash and Recession, the mass murder of 750,000+ Americans, against the saving of millions more American lives and against any hope of an economic recovery but only for another Great Repub Recession/Depression and millions more USA jobs destroyed.

You were the one who chose not to provide sources in the first place. Do you not understand that? Asking somebody else to do your work for you is the epitome of MAGAt behavior.

Not to mention that the burden of proof always rests with the person making the claim. From the MAGAs though it's typically all mouth, no sources, and all in the spirit of their hero.

Denial. Denial. Denial. I am smart enough to research what our state government does and how it affects me. I work for a living so it is important to me. If I was a socialist on welfare or government subsistence like you I would also research it. Just common sense. Democrat government officials look after themselves. Not the working class. Some are smart enough to see that.

You're asking too much. Why would our "ex-Democrat" here bother with the specifics? He's a free spirit. He's operating in the astral plane sane people can't ever see and reach (fortunately). Thus people who live in the real world and who'd rather deal with facts, just need to recognize their own limitations rather than ask them, the Faithful, for any kind of proof, for such proof can only exist in their self-imposed state of collective delusion.

Do you know how to search on a computer. Type in shoplifting and crime in San Francisco and look at the thousands of links. Type in gas prices in California for 2020 and 2021 and look at the thousands of posts. You seem to be able to provide fake news links so I know you are capable of this. Even fake news has links on this. You are part of the reason the USA is in this mess. Thankfully 23% of the democrats have figured this out in some of the states.
