Libtards have tantrums about needing an ID to vote, and you think they will take a test? HA

Dems would gladly take a test if the test eliminates the uneducated from the electorate.

No they wouldnt. They would cry giant tears. Try to keep it real.

The only tears I'm seeing are Trumpian.

Why dont you float it to a new source lmao

The only tears I'm seeing are PAULian.

BETTER?

Im not crying, Im laughing at you. I would LOVE to see this happen. So go make this happen.

yea, this is a big deal

OK...I was trying to be a nicer me.

It would probably be your friends at the bar crying.

I like the nicer (more rationale) version better.

The past version of Peen was much nicer and more rational than the current version we've been seeing as of late.

things Americans agree on:

- fix our roads and bridges
- legalize weed
- bring back Celebrity Deathmatch

j/c...

And here we go again as if we didn't see it coming...

Doug Mastriano refuses to concede in Pa. amid new baseless allegations from Trump

He's shared tributes to fellow veterans and retweets from kind supporters. There's even a selfie post of him riding a horse and cryptically captioned "Saddle up."

Still, Republican Doug Mastriano has made no time for a formal concession of his gubernatorial race to Democrat Josh Shapiro, and has instead taking to social media to trash his opponent.

"Your campaign’s malicious attack on this 30 year veteran speaks volumes," he wrote under a Shapiro tribute to veterans on the social media account Twitter. Separately, he added: "You never served a day and your disdain for this veteran’s service means we can’t trust you to have any vets back."

Mastriano's comments came within hours of new evidence-free fraud allegations from his ally and former U.S. President Donald Trump.

"You know the sticker in Pennsylvania that says, ‘I voted’? Some people are wearing them saying, ‘I thought I voted.’ Pennsylvania is a very corrupt State with voting, but nobody ever wants to check that," Trump said in an email blast from his political action committee, Save America PAC.

He went on to insult future Democrat John Fetterman, who recently defeated Trump's endorsed candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz for an open U.S. Senate seat.

"How does Oz (smart guy!) lose to a guy who can’t string together two sentences? They don’t want to check, because they don’t want to make me right. It happened to me in 2020, I lost one million votes with possibly one of the biggest drops in History, happening in the middle of the night."

Trump's lawsuits alleging fraud in Pennsylvania and beyond in the election two years ago have been overwhelmingly rejected in court for lack of evidence.

Both of the former president's endorsed Republicans for statewide races were handed fairly convincing defeats in the midterms this week. Oz is losing to Fetterman by 209,348 votes with approximately 97% of all ballots counted. He already called Fetterman to concede days ago.

Mastriano, meanwhile, remains mum despite losing by an even greater number.

As of Friday morning Shapiro had a 14-point advantage. Mastriano trails by 731,654 votes with 97% of ballots already tallied.

That race was called by major media outlets in Shapiro's favor by 10:30 p.m. Election Day.

A spokesperson for Shapiro confirmed that Mastriano not conceded, even privately. Mastriano's campaign has not responded to a request for comment.

Kremlin Cronies Sent Reeling on Live TV Over U.S. Midterm Elections

The midterm elections in the United States were a hot topic in Moscow. Convinced that the “red wave” was coming, Russian propagandists rushed to take credit for the anticipated landslide victory that would ensure Republican majority in Congress and Senate.

On Tuesday, Russia’s Tucker Carlson, top propagandist Vladimir Solovyov, greeted his audience by wishing them a “Happy Interference in the U.S. Election Day.” Yevgeny Prigozhin, known as “Putin's chef,” who was indicted as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference, likewise decided to publicly fess up to the allegations he previously denied.

This plan to discredit the U.S. elections and convince the Republicans that the mighty Kremlin hand covertly helped push them to victory had backfired. On Wednesday, state TV propagandists were scratching their heads about the wave that turned out to be but a trickle. During the broadcast of 60 Minutes, host Olga Skabeeva asked an expert: “How are our guys in America?” Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov clarified with a chuckle: “Our Republicans.”

Dmitry Abzalov, Director of the Center for Strategic Communications, noted that the outcome was much different than the predictions: “Even the Democrats predicted the red wave that will mow everything down, but it turned out to be quite modest.” Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov said, “The worst fears of the Democrats are now behind them. They easily won the states they were most concerned about.”

Co-host of 60 Minutes Evgeny Popov surmised: “Republican triumph or the tsunami did not materialize... Trump is already calling on Americans to protest ballot stuffing and not allowing his opponents to disrupt the elections.”

Russian state TV coverage focused on baseless allegations of various issues supposedly plaguing U.S. elections, featuring the footage of Kari Lake, candidate for governor of Arizona, and former U.S. President Donald J. Trump, complaining that the polling stations were “running out of paper” and experiencing various mishaps.

Skabeeva exclaimed: “Come out [in the streets], Americans! You are being lied to!” Abzalov pointed out that at least January should be “fun,” predicting that Republicans would attempt to impeach U.S. President Joe Biden. Skabeeva complained: “They will impeach but won’t be able to overthrow him. We’ve seen how it went down with our friend, our comrade Donald—and it happened more than once.”

Skabeeva went on: “We keep worrying about our guys, their results should have been better than this... Apparently, there will be no landslide victory for Republicans in Congress... Still, Donald Trump is planning to celebrate—it isn’t exactly clear what is there to celebrate.”

During the broadcast of a state TV show Who’s Against?, host Dmitry Kulikov noted: “The triumph of the Republicans didn’t happen... After these results, can Trump remain the leader of his party? That is in question... [Ron] DeSantis is rising, Trump will obviously challenge him. The main battles will be taking place within the Republican camp.”

Political editor Maxim Yusin concurred: “Republicans performed much worse than everyone had predicted yesterday... This is because of the Trump factor, this is clearly his fault. He butted into this electoral campaign too overtly and with his odious nature, pushed away those who were on the fence. Against this backdrop, the star of DeSantis is rising. He is only 44 years old. As we see by his surname, he is of a Latino-American descent—and there are more and more of Latino voters. Latinos voted for him in Florida.”

Yusin noted that DeSantis is similar to Trump in his conservative agenda and as a bonus, he does not possess any of Trump’s “weirdness” that “scares people away.” He said that the Democrats secretly want Trump to run for president and speculated that they will pause any legal pursuits to encourage the run of their favored “sparring partner.”

The guest predicted that if DeSantis is nominated, Republicans will win the presidential elections and get the majority. Kulikov agreed that Trump’s involvement made the battles easier for his opponents: “The Democrats are holding on because of their hysteria about losing democracy to the fascism on the other side. It played a big part. Trump allowed them to lean on that, basing their approach on him as a fascist specimen. The campaign of the Democrats, rooted in saving democracy from this monstrosity, turned out to be very productive.”

In addition to Russia’s mounting disappointments in the electoral battles of the United States, their invasion of Ukraine keeps going from bad to worse. During Tuesday’s broadcast of 60 Minutes, host Olga Skabeeva said, “Things are difficult. Nonetheless, we have to win on our own—it’s official. Republicans can hardly help us to retain the Kherson region or the city of Kherson.” On Wednesday, Russian troops retreated from the area.

Host Vladimir Solovyov started Wednesday’s broadcast of The Evening With Vladimir Solovyov by grimly noting: “We’ve been planning an entirely different program tonight. We were going to talk about American elections, but then we got the news from Kherson.”

Nonetheless, in the minds of the Kremlin’s propagandists, it’s all connected. Solovyov speculated that if the withdrawal was announced just one day earlier, it might have helped Biden and the Democrats: “[The withdrawal] was announced after Nov. 8, on Nov. 9, so it wouldn’t influence the U.S. elections.”

You know, we keep hearing that it's the dems who are the communists. Yet when we actually hear from the Russian media, it's the Republicans they want in power here in the U.S. Things that make you go hmmmm for $500.

Lol friends? Good one. Maybe 10min to close.

What I want to know is how far people have to bury their heads to not recognize that Russian sentiment is A HUGE FLIPPING PROBLEM!

Trump Makes Racist Attack About Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin's Last Name

https://news.yahoo.com/trump-makes-racist-attack-virginia-193935276.html

again, this IS conservative americans leader. voted for him in 2016, voted in record numbers for him in 2020, and wanted all his MAGA candidates to win.

but lemme guess, this isn't racist. he's just joking, right?

MSNBC just called the AZ Senate race for Mark Kelly.

Senate seats are at 49-49 with the GA runoff and Nevada left.

I posted this earlier this morning. Old news!

Pretty wild.





What a nail biter ...

come on GOP. not even looking like a red fart now.

A red shart

the republican has about an 800 vote lead and still about 15,000 provisional ballots and 39,000 mail in ballots left in Nevada's two biggest counties.
The republican camp is pretty much already anticipating a loss and moving on to a recount. The mail in ballots that came in and were counted the last two days were like 65%-35% in favor of the dems.

Which just goes to prove - if you can steal an election once, you can steal a different election too ! They should stop counting when the Republicans are ahead.

A Maryland Republican who lost his race by 300K votes says he won't concede

The GOP's nominee for Maryland's attorney general has refused to concede, despite trailing his opponent by more than 300,000 votes.

Hard-right candidate Michael Peroutka lost his race to Democrat Anthony Brown late on Tuesday, per the Associated Press. As of Friday, Maryland reported 100% of the votes counted, showing Brown with 60.71% of the vote.

Both Brown — and Democrat Wes Moore — made history as the state's first Black attorney general and governor, respectively.

Following his loss, Perouta emailed supporters saying he will not concede, suggesting that electoral fraud had taken place, according to The Washington Post. A version of that statement was also posted to a Facebook page attributed to his campaign.

"During yesterday's voting, many odd and suspicious incidents were reported by poll watchers, and more reports are being gathered today," it read.

It added that Perouta plans to "investigate these strange occurrences and I do not plan to concede the race."

In a later post on the same Facebook page, a post called for voters who cast their ballot at a Howard County middle school to contact Peroutka, saying he is looking to "speak with any election workers from that site, not just poll watchers, but any officials, judges, or chief judges."

Peroutka didn't provide evidence for his assertions, and did not immediately respond to Insider's request for further comment, which was sent outside of working hours.

Meanwhile, Maryland State Board of Elections (SEB) said Marylanders can be "confident" in the result, per a statement seen by the Post.

The board "works with the local boards of elections to determine whether referral of reported activities to the Office of the State Prosecutor is warranted," the statement read.

"At this time, SBE is not aware of any such incidents. Marylanders can be confident in the integrity of the state's election processes and that any potentially inappropriate activity will be thoroughly investigated."

Maryland Republican Party Chairman Dirk Haire told the paper that he had seen no unusual election activity.

Peroutka is a former Anne Arundel County Council member and former debt-collection attorney. He was a board member of League of the South between 2012 and 2014, according to Vice. The group is now designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Peroutka has disavowed racist statements by the group's leader, but not the group itself, Vice reported.

In the Maryland attorney general race he campaigned on issues of gun rights, protection of the elderly and the "pre-born," border security, and opposing health mandates, per his website.

He also called for the prosecution of officials who "have exceeded their lawful authority" and promised to "investigate discrepancies and anomalies in recent elections in Maryland."

In October, Peroutka commented on the 2020 presidential election, saying that the media was wrong to call election denialism "The Big Lie."

"Their claim that there is no evidence of fraud or corruption is itself nothing more than a blithe assertion — without evidence or support — and actually impossible to prove," he wrote.

There have been a wealth of independent fact checks, lawsuits, and election investigations, none of which have succeeded in uncovering evidence of widespread election fraud in the 2020 election.

Murica!

Wow. Serious upset.





The Fivethirtyeight's final forecast before the election...

Democrats keep control of the senate.

100% on board with this! For all political offices... though this would also disqualify Biden in his current state and Fetterman...

I hate when either side pulls this crap... especially with that big of a margin...

Oof.

ouch

Dems hold the Senate! Man I hope they keep the house!


RED WAVE!

*In my best Tackleberry voice* There was shart play and I missed it.
