Califan007 The Constipated

You mean you can't tweet a law into existence?...

Hmm...has anyone ever seen tshile and Chris Christie in the same room together? 🤔

This one made me laugh lol...

The Red Tsunami...

I think they're praying, in case you didn't get the joke lol

I know it's far from official or anything...but lol...

Yep...and her opponent is slowly extending his lead. Hope it continues.

Landsman is only up by 5.6 points now....got cut in half.

On CNN's list of House races that will determine control of the House, of the races that at least have percentages assigned to the candidates almost all of them have Dems leading. Doesn't really matter since that can flip depending on which counties still need to report, and we saw Fetterman's 60+ point lead evaporate into like 9%, but at least there's a little hope to hang onto. And now Walker has taken the lead over Warnock... EDIT: and now Warnock has retaken the lead lol...hoo boy...

Oz and Johnson have gained a ****load of ground, with Johnson about to overtake Barnes...Beasley and Ryan have fallen a ways behind Budd and Vance...Walker is now 0.3 points behind Warnock...damn...hope the non-reporting votes are heavily Dem.

Walker's about to surpass Warnock 😐

But...how? lol

How was the AP already able to call the Maryland race for Moore?...

Warnock's lead continues to get smaller...Abrams falling further behind Kemp but still close.

Warnock's lead is getting smaller...Abrams and Kemp are basically still tied... Now Kemp and Abrams have flipped positions, although they are basically still tied. EDIT: Kemp slowly increasing his lead...dammit...

More evidence that it does: Exit polls: Inflation is the top issue for voters, followed by abortion Inflation tops voters’ list of concerns in this year’s midterm elections, with abortion a close second, according to the preliminary national results of the exit poll conducted for CNN and other news networks by Edison Research. Approximately one-third called inflation the most important issue to their vote, with about 27% citing abortion. The remainder were roughly divided between picking crime, gun policy and immigration as their chief concerns. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/midterm-election-results-livestream-voting-11-08-2022/index.html

"it is sad that most of the people...would prefer one party rule." "Most people don’t want it."

If most people want it why would "democracy" need to be in quotes?

This must vary greatly from one poll to the next lol...I'm not looking at the nation as a whole, though, just independent states. But look: "Fifty-three percent of likely Iowa voters rank abortion and health care as critical issues, followed closely by crime (52%). For each of the six issues listed, respondents could choose whether the issue is “critical,” “important but not critical,” or “not that important.” Respondents could designate as many issues as critical as they wished. ...among Democrats, only 36% rate inflation as a critical issue. The only issue Democrats rate less frequently as critical is crime (31%). After party control of Congress, Democrats most frequently choose abortion and health care as critical issues, at 72% and 70% respectively. Following inflation and party control, Republicans most often choose crime as a critical issue (71%). Republicans least often rank as critical health care (43%) and abortion (42%). Among independent voters, 50% view health care as a critical issue. That’s followed closely by abortion (49%) and crime (48%)." https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/iowa-poll/2022/11/07/iowa-poll-how-do-voters-view-inflation-abortion-in-this-election/69606673007/ Again, I've only looked at individual states, but I would think that for abortion to only be at 11% nationally it would mean there are numerous states in which 0% felt it was an "important issue".

That might be because Kansas voters had the power to prevent those who they voted for from instituting restrictions on abortion. The main thing, though, is that abortion is a motivating factor for Dem voters to make sure they vote, even if it's not their top concern.

It seemed to have quite an effect on voter turnout in Kansas, when people were able to directly vote on it: Voter turnout in Johnson County was over 53% as Kansans reject abortion amendment https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/election/article263946446.html Kansas’ primary election saw monumental turnout in Johnson and Wyandotte counties as voters flocked to the polls to choose nominees for the November general election and to overwhelmingly reject the amendment on the ballot, preserving Kansans’ right to abortion in the state constitution. Statewide, turnout was around 47%. A total of 908,745 people voted on the abortion amendment, out of 1,950,971 registered Kansas voters. As many as 18.6% of these voters may have been unaffiliated with either major political party. Turnout was especially impressive in Johnson County at 53.7%: a tally nearly unheard of in a primary election. Nearly a quarter of a million votes were cast—244,818 to be precise. Around half of these votes were cast in person on Election Day, while nearly 100,000 were cast early in person. The rest were absentee ballots, some of which will continue to arrive at the election office in the coming days. The number of votes cast in Johnson County this election was more than double those cast in the 2018 primary, about 100,000 more than for the 2020 presidential primary election and about 90,000 votes shy of the county’s total votes in the 2020 general election, when turnout was 74%.

When women have a significant say-so over what men can and cannot do legally with their anatomy, I'll start to care how much they actually know about sitting on balls lol... And I knew (or more accurately, guesstimated) the number of tampons question based on buying them for my ex-wife numerous times 😂

Don't necessarily agree with her final comment, although I get what she was trying to convey and I do agree with that. And I really hope most of the men here at ES would pass with flying colors lol...

Not sure which is more impressive: the complete dislodging of his slippers, the "I meant to do that" vibe afterwards, or the Inception-like reality he almost slid into lol...
