I'm really so very sorry for

everyone hurting now from losing their homes in this beyond Devastating Fire.

It's not like trump didn't show who he was before he got rigged in by the Russians and their Enablers, though.

He came for the Mexicans, the Gold Star Families, and the Muslims.. etc etc, and many did nothing. Then he came for them.

I just saw some interesting news when I looked up my old

District in New York!

Broome absentee ballot results expand Brindisi’s lead over Tenney

BROOME COUNTY (WBNG) — A big vote result in Broome County expanding the gap between the two candidates in the race for the 22nd Congressional District race.

Following the absentee and affidavit ballot counts, the Broome County Board of Elections announced Friday Anthony Brindisi gained 2,959 votes, with Claudia Tenney gaining 1,640 votes.

The newest total puts Brindisi at a 122,565-119,422 vote advantage over Tenney– a 3,143 vote gap.

I was so bummed when I thought they still had a repub and it was a done deal.. but I accidently found out the Dem Anthony Brindisi is now in the lead when I googled "Claudia Tenney" to see when her term is up.. thinking maybe 2019?.. lol.

So.. There's HOPE for my old District.. where I have a lot of great Democratic Friends!

That's true.. my Blue Dog Congressman, Michael Arcuri, District 24, in New York, lost his seat after he voted for ACA(Healthcare!). In the big Hate Machine 2010.. courtesy of rw and purity stay-at-homers.

Maybe you keep on NPFR because they used to be Fair and you keep hoping for a return of reality radio from that source. Shame on them by the way.

Thanks for the current status on Nate McMurray, Bachers!

I just looked up my old District in New York.. It's now District 22 and is Rep by a trump Claudia Tenney.

Oh wait.. I just saw this!

BLUE HOUSE+37.. :))))))

red HOUSE-37

The Democrats met expectations in many seats they were expected to flip, but mostly failed to chalk up surprises. They are, though, in control of the lower chamber, and at last in a position to challenge Donald Trump.

That's what I call "a glass 1/2 empty pronouncement on the Dems.. had to get the word "failed" in there. Key word being "mostly". So there were some "surprises"!

I, for one, was a little bit surprised by all our Dem Wins in the House! Look how close they were and how long it took to count all the votes in some Districts. It's not done until it's over and anything could happen.

The Guardian has a real downer take on our Wins, imo.

Still it was informative and FUN with my own take.. Thank You, Hermit!

P.S. California!

I don't see where Maricia Fudge was a republican..

Kathleen Rice was, though.

Marcia Fudge refused to cosponsor a federal ban on anti-LGBT legislation..
