Peaches!

Author: BobR    Date: 11/07/2018 14:20:54

Election 2018 was being promoted as the "Blue Wave". There was giddy anticipation, and possibly some premature jubilation over how the Dems were going to take over the House, the Senate, the Presidency, the Supreme Court, and various dog catcher posts. Okay - some hyperbole there, but expectations were unrealistically high.

What happened in reality, is that Dems will be taking control of the House in January, and several governerships flipped from red to blue. In the Age of tRump, that is a pretty damn big deal. Naturally, there will be naysayers for whom this just wasn't enough. They may be ignored. Let's take a look at some of the results...

Is This Our Last Chance?
Author: BobR    Date: 2018-11-01 12:00:00

 

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
