I DON'T KNOW. HALP. And no, not lame duck. Votes not there from Alaska, Maine, and Alabama (Jones flipped seat after summer health care debacle).

So, freakout time: Is there anything stopping the Senate GOP, newly strengthened, from passing the House ACA repeal that already passed that chamber?

Nailed it. The Constitution, somehow, shockingly, continues to work in the long-term favor of the Republic.

Jesus, dude. https://www.wsj.com/articles/wages-rise-at-fastest-rate-in-nearly-a-decade-as-hiring-jumps-in-october-1541161920

Dude, I'm not going to break it out for you. Wages are rising for educated, white collar workers. This isn't worth arguing. The economy is very, very good. Period.

They went up 3% last quarter. Your concerns are legit, but not why rich suburbs are abandoning the GOP.

Okay, serious post time: This is a massive rebuke to Trump and Trumpism - nothing else. We have historically low unemployment, a flying (albeit recently stalled) stock market, rising wages, very strong GDP growth, and Republicans can make a plausible case that the tax cuts and deregulation have provided to a steady but anemic recovery a sugar high, at least. And they lost. Big, it appears. If one looks at previous wipeouts, 2014, 2010, 2006, 1994, we could point to a bevy of economic, war, or policy conditions/positions that voters rejected. Not so here. This is entirely about the GOP failure to provide any constitutional check on this naked emperor. Point is, any spin tomorrow is complete horseshit. This race is about the simple fact that the president is reprobate who either rejects or never understood the character of this country. I want to point out, too, that rejecting a president for his refusal to abide by American democratic norms is an incredibly sophisticated voting analysis. We have ample reason to be very proud of our people tonight. I mean that earnestly. Anyway. Fuck him, fuck Republicans.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING YOU'RE A FUCKING GANGSTER

CALL THE FUCKING HOUSE ALREADY I GOTTA CRACK OPEN MY TULLAMORE DEW JESUS FUCK

NEVERMIND EVERYTHING IS GOOD ALSO FUCK ELECTIONS FUCK THIS

Because the evidence also indicates that everything fucking sucks.

Okay, so, Democrats are going to lose the House, aren't they?

Everything is awful. I just need the Dems to win the House. Will they? Who fucking knows. I hate everything.

For long-term control of Congress, these are the most important races in the country. Governors in many states have veto authority over the maps drawn.

It's okay if Dems lose today, because I'll get my Luna's Howl in Destiny 2. But yes, voted a week ago.

It lacks flair and personality, two of the things that created the Destiny fan base. They won't find the same audience without them. Also, no PVP is a deal-breaker.

Got to 2040 last night in comp. Come Tuesday reset, Luna's Howl will be mine. Just barely.

Turnout numbers are insane nationwide. This will surely test the assumption that higher turnout across all demographics means better results for Democrats. God willing.

Will. At some point. God, I'm busy these days.

Don't feel like getting into what I consider nitpicking, but here's my hot take: Red Dead Redemption II is a great leap forward that reminds me of Super Mario 64 with how much I think it may advance the medium of games and challenge how they're considered by players and media and designed by developers.

Any full game impressions yet from media outlets?

Wake me up when it works. Every time I pop in a 4k movie, I'm reminded how superior local media is. Even with the ubiquity of streaming, physical media (or in the case of gaming, local, whether discs or downloads) just won't die. Just like vinyl. It's superior.

Well, this guy swings the other way, but yeah. What I heard.

It is! And Tritt is a fantastic professor (albeit with a much-rumored propensity to be VERY friendly with law students).

Thousands of murderers have been convicted on the basis of one eyewitness's testimony. Testimony IS EVIDENCE. It's why credibility instructions are given to every juror in America. This is SO stupid. Fucking armchair lawyers, man.
