Four days after Election Day, projections for the Nevada Senate race are rolling in tonight–the Democrats will retain control of the Senate. Welcome news, in my view.

Trump literally said this about allocating credit and blame for yet-to-be finalized performance of the slew of candidates he endorsed in races across the country:
“Well, I think if they win, I should get all the credit….And if they lose, I should not be blamed at all, OK. But it’ll probably be just the opposite.”
There are so many quotes to be considered the Trumpiest quote of all. That one is at least in the discussion.

No coup for you, Donny.
The dissent is actually interesting: the point made by Alito and Thomas is an extremely narrow one - they feel the Court must accept a filing on cases in which it has original jurisdiction (state v. state). In a bit of a slap, they explain that they would not grant any other relief (the injunction sought).

Trump doesn't realize he's on a Laffer curve with respect to his continued insistence that he won the election due to widespread voter fraud. And he's past the apex (way past it, in my mind) - he thinks he's garnering more respect from his base by continuing the act, but he's actually losing it with each tweet and temper tantrum.

If DOJ had found any evidence, you better believe Barr would have paraded it across all media. Trump's continued insistence that the evidence is out there - and so much of it! - has become comical.

I've never been a fan of yard signs. I actually wish more people would put flags in their yards for Election Day - I think it conveys unity and common purpose, rather than focusing on division and opposition. Maybe we can start a movement
