US Mid Terms 2018

[brian ross]

I wonder how many claims of voting fraud will we hear/see?

I wonder how many claims about voters being barred on the basis of the colour of their skin will we see/hear?

I wonder how many claims about the election being interfered with by Russia/China/DPRK/Fenwick?

Some are calling the House for the Democrats

How can they do that with 120 to go?

It looks like it is going that way

Yes it does but when a few started calling it surely it was too soon to tell with a lot of Republican seats not even counted.

Losing the House will be a major political headache for Mr Trump. His political opponents will now have veto over any legislation he proposes, ending the Republican’s control over both wings of Congress. That could jeopardise the president’s hopes of securing funding for his US-Mexico border wall, further unpicking Barack Obama’s healthcare legislation and implementing a new tax cut for the middle classes.

Why would the Democrats veto a new tax cut for the middle class?

Florida voted to restore voting rights to people convicted of felonies.

San Francisco voters passed a tax on big companies that would affect technology firms and fund housing and services for the homeless.

Voters in Massachusetts became the first state to affirm transgender rights in a statewide vote.

Legal marijuana continued to spread across the US.

Nevada voted to exempt feminine hygiene products from state and local sales taxes.

Four states voted on the expansion of Medicaid coverage to more low-income residents, a key aspect of the Affordable Care Act.

A record number of women won races across the country, and candidates of color and LGBT people have also broken barriers.

All the important stuff right? Gotta love those progressives

I asked an American pal what he thought of the Mid Terms and this is his reply.

The election sucked. Friggin’ liberal butt holes took control of the house, not by a lot, but thanks to those stupid, no-brain voters they got in. Publicians added a few seats to the senate so that part is good I guess. Damn liberals are still gonna be a pain in the royal ass!

Says it all, I think.
