1. Trump Slump

Thanks republicans

5. Just for a while.

Wait until they open their electric "smart bike" factory. You hop on and the bike's AI takes you where you need to go.

(Yeah, that's not something you've heard anybody talking about, is it? Going along at 70 mph and trusting the on-board computer, with just a bike suit between you and the pavement if something goes wrong.)

All lies, all the time.

3. Everything the asshole touches turns to shit

4. You are correct. He has the reverse Midas touch. So does Scott Walker though, and yet we keep

electing the douchebag over, and over, and over.

[Mr. Evil]

6. I think they just keep election frauding over and over.

7. Exactly

11. You give us cheeseheads too much credit.

The Milwaukee burbs and rural counties are chock full of racists and nitwits who get all their information from AM radio and Fox News. They love Walker because he protects them from brown people and he pisses off the libruls. Couple that with the comically inept Democratic Party of Wisconsin, and they don't even need fraud to win here. None of Wanker's three wins have even been close. He just keeps winning by the 5-7% margins that the final polls predict.

8. Trump's got that republican party voodoo economy

fired up already boy!

I hope all the working class republican voters enjoy the results.

I know I won't at all.

9. end of an era hey, the older ones shot up in price. Maybe they can make scooters for the 99% who

never will be able to afford a car anymore.

12. They're not coal workers so it doesn't matter.

[dembotoz]

13. Maybe we need a model that burns coal

Make amurica great again

14. Trump has plenty of things

that he can get blamed for but Trump can't be blamed in shifts in consumer tastes and whether consumers take up a hobby like riding motorcycles.

Blaming Trump for everything makes people look foolish.
