IDBillzFan Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Next on MSNBC, anchor Chris Hayes shows what happens when you inject your turkey with too much liquid. I have no idea who this woman is. I saw this on Twitter, went to her page, and found out I was blocked. How the hell are you blocked from someone you don't know? 1

Numark3 Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 At least there will be some formal checks on the executive branch after this election
Nanker Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 First time voting in MA. Paper ballots, fill in the oval like a standardized test. Got the ballot by giving my address and name. No I. D. required. Had to “sign out” by giving name and address info to another person at the check out station. Then ballots were submitted into something a bit like a mailbox - which was guarded ny the town police. Was glad to vote against Lieawatha. 1
Kevbeau Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Took me 2.5 hrs in GA. Hearing similar times from others. We usually have a dozen machines at our polling place. Only four today and they closed the next nearest polling facility and roles it into ours. Go figure. Contentious governors race here. No national implications for my district but still big turnout.

Early voting always seems like a bad idea, much like picking a football team's W/L record during mini-camp. But the absentee is cool because I can sit and review each vote with purpose, then tell my b*tch wife to vote just like me or I'll put her in a handsmaid outfit, right before her brother calls and tells her how to vote, just before her father calls her and tells her how to vote, because b8tches ain't smart enough to do anything but make me a sammich. At least that's what Hillary says. Expand God bless you AND your wife.

But what I'm really driving at is what political power Democrats will have with a small majority in the House while Republicans hold the Senate and White House. If Democrats end up with a small majority in the House that still means that there's a lot Republican House members to gum up the political agenda for the small majority of Democrats. White House - Republican Senate - Republican House - Democrat with small majority.

The idea Trump has increased unchecked executive authority is a fantasy. He's done more to reduce it, compared to the previous administration. But details and facts that run counter to the narrative are easy to forget. **************************** 1
