I was absolutely terrified the Russians were going to ratfuck this election, especially Virginia. It gives me hope that the long dark nightmare of Dotard may be nearing and end. At least it could be the beginning of the end....

But you ain’t dreaming. Trump is the last dying gasp of the misogynistic and racist America.

If we stick together and vote we win.

This is a great night.

That does make the victory sweeter. It's very rewarding to see your efforts made a huge difference.

Wait until Trump gets word of this! SPANKED, DONNIE!

Apparently there are still about 13 contested races of which Dems would need to win 6 for control. Wow.

"Everything Is Awesome!!!"
(feat. The Lonely Island)

Everything is awesome
Everything is cool when you're part of a team
Everything is awesome when we're living our dream

Everything is better when we stick together
Side by side, you and I gonna win forever, let's party forever
We're the same, I'm like you, you're like me, we're all working in harmony

Everything is awesome
Everything is cool when you're part of a team
Everything is awesome when we're living our dream

(Wooo)
3, 2, 1. Go

Have you heard the news, everyone's talking
Life is good 'cause everything's awesome
Lost my job, it's a new opportunity
More free time for my awesome community

I feel more awesome than an awesome possum
Dip my body in chocolate frostin'
Three years later, wash off the frostin'
Smellin' like a blossom, everything is awesome
Stepped in mud, got new brown shoes
It's awesome to win, and it's awesome to lose (it's awesome to lose)

Everything is better when we stick together
Side by side, you and I, gonna win forever, let's party forever
We're the same, I'm like you, you're like me, we're all working in harmony

Everything is awesome
Everything is cool when you're part of a team
Everything is awesome when we're living our dream

Blue skies, bouncy springs
We just named two awesome things
A Nobel prize, a piece of string
You know what's awesome? EVERYTHING!

Dogs with fleas, allergies,
A book of Greek antiquities
Brand new pants, a very old vest
Awesome items are the best

Trees, frogs, clogs
They're awesome
Rocks, clocks, and socks
They're awesome
Figs, and jigs, and twigs
That's awesome
Everything you see, or think, or say
Is awesome

Everything is awesome
Everything is cool when you're part of a team
Everything is awesome when we're living our dream

MAN did we need this.

Saw something amusing on Chris Hayes' show - with his entirely underwhelming quisling guest Donna Brazile. He made the point that since Dems are doing so well, nobody can blame her tomorrow for peeing on our parade and helping us to lose again.

His primary job needs to be to protect voter rights and the election process in his state.

Congrats!!!
