    Re: They are willing to destroy this country

    I'm in MO and it's pretty intense here. I'm looking forward to tomorrow with hope and fear. Trying to focus on the hope.

        Hey so American friends, can someone explain midterms to me? Why vote in the middle of a four year electoral period?

        ...and, is the news good overall? Or just in a few states?

          Different offices have different terms. The Pres is elected to a 4 year term. House Reps are elected to 2 year terms and Senators are elected to 6 year terms but at staggered intervals. An elections is held every two years but presidential elections are every 4. Any normal federal election where the presidency isn't in play is a midterm. The entire House and a third of the Senate are at stake. As for this midterm, Dems win the Hoise which means once the new congress swears in (early January), any major legislation needs bipartisan support or it won't happen. It also means that the House oversight committees are no longered controlled by Trump lackeys. The Senate stayed red (which is disappointing but was always a pretty likely result) so McConnel can keep rubberstamping conservative judges.

          Basically, yesterday was good but not as good I really wanted.
          life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

          Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

          "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

          John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

            I'm delighted about the House turn out. It made me happy and most of the measures for my state turned out the way I voted so that was great too.

            I can't wait for the day Mitch McTurtle is out of the Senate.

                Michigan has legal weed, a special committe to draw district lines, a voter's rights law, and a D for governor (finally).
                Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

                  also ,it looks like Trump is starting to panic about the mueller.

                  Whitaker is expected to take charge of the Russia investigation and special counsel Robert Mueller from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Whitaker has been openly critical of Mueller and the investigation and Democrats immediately called on him to recuse himself, just as Sessions had.


                  Will trump make his stupid in the open?

                    Trump Says He Won’t Turn Over His Tax Returns. It’s Not Up To Him Anymore.

                    Can't wait to see where this goes.

                    But that’s actually not up to the president ― according to the law, at least.

                    The leaders of key congressional committees can ask the IRS for anybody’s tax returns. Republicans simply did not want to do so. Democrats said in October that they would ask the IRS for Trump’s returns if they regained control of the House, which they did on Tuesday night.

                      I think trump is starting to unravel,some of his moves now reflect fear on his part.

                              Well Macron is really not the greatest president we've had.

                              Far from that.

                              Plus we did do a terrible job during WWII and sent hundreds of french Jews to their deaths. But I think focusing on the victories and defeats of the past doesn't do nothing for today's politics.
