In Ohio voters, by overwhelming margins, codified abortion into the Ohio Constitution and legalized recreational weed. This red state, which I've driven through the rural areas, is every bit as red as Nebraska. The Trump barn is normal in rural Ohio, but the cities countered that by turning out and crushing the rural pro lifers and Reefer madness crowd. In fact, the rural areas did not even vote in overwhelming numbers to outlaw abortion and outlaw weed. There are a lot of individuals who actually do believe in freedom and just don't just give it lip service.
In Pennsylvania the Supreme Court is now 5-2 Democratic. Yeah, good luck with that, GOP fascists.
In Virginia not only did the voters keep the state Senate in Democratic hands, it flipped the House from Republican to Democratic. Virginia voters were fooled by so called "moderate" Republican Glenn Youngkin in 2020 as a relief to the nutty direction the GOP had taken. But as usual, the "moderate" was just a MAGA wolf in a vest. Last night was a big fuck off to Glenn Youngkin, the supposedly sane guy other supposedly sane Republicans were gearing up for a potential 2024 Presidential run. Sorry, those plans are on hold.
Mississippi is still a lost cause. Despite scandal after scandal, Governor Goober, Tate Reeves, won reelection because Mississippi white voters gotta white vote. White supremacy the way grandpappy used to support is still in Mississippi's DNA. And with the new voter suppression movement, those pesky blacks were reigned in with understaffed polling places, lack of ballots and a judge refusing to extend the 9 pm voting deadline.
But the best was Yusuf Salaam winning a seat on the New York City Council. You may recall 15-year-old Yusuf Salaam was arrested in 1989 along with 4 other black teens and convicted of the gang rape of a white Central Park jogger. He spent 7 years in prison before that pain in the ass DNA exonerated him and the rest. You may also recall a local real estate con man named Donald Trump took out full page ads in New York newspapers calling for Salaam and the rest to be executed. That didnt age well but in typical Trump fashion he refused to admit he was wrong. So last night was another fuck you to the Defendant.
Meanwhile in the insane asylum called the House of Representatives, a censure resolution was passed against Rep Rashida Tlaib. She had expressed pro-Palestinian statements and this was not to be tolerated in the pandering clown show. Now I have no love for Tlaib's from the river to the sea bullshit, but the House censured her for political speech, period. The crazies and the cowards banded together for once, including pandering Democrats, to pass this idiotic censure despite GOP idiots like Rep Max Miller and Rep Brian Mast calling for mass murder of Palestinian children and calling them Nazis. Also nothing about the presence of Camp Auschwitz guy and actual Nazi scum at the Capitol on Jan 6th. Read the First Amendment, cowards, or in the case of the crazies, have somebody read it to you.
Now you can get back to the paranoia over "globalists" and "Soros backed DA's".
