Asspress reports most Democrat victories like the baseball scores. That’s how we can tell who won. If Republicans crawled out of their holes temporarily to pretend to fight, there would be hysterical polemics, weasel words and hissing throughout the story.

Leftists don’t care about people. They care about things and process and what they feel is right. People? Whatever!

I know families desperately needing those pumps. Marxist Joe is abandoning them like he did the Cambodians, Vietnamese and Afghanis.

Ahh Yes, Mississippi Delta. Majority black and the poorest area in the country.
And once again, the Democrats s**t all over them, as they have been doing since the Jim Crow days.
Well, at least the Democrats do not have to worry about losing votes here, they are trained from birth to vote Democrat.
