Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.

Now they've lost 84%.

If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.

Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party

STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.

Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.

Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"

You are not a dick, Ace! In fact here is what you are:

-The owner of the most scary important blog this side of "The Corner" and that Burger King "Chicken Fight" thing;

-The creative genius behind such legendary comedic creations as Johnny Coldcuts, Smitty, and Paul Anka. (We know that last dude isn't real!)

-Funnier than Wonkette!!!! and Deeper than Oliver Willis.

-The man responsible for singlehandedly re-popularizing "like a viking".

-Sully's bitch.

-A poor man's Allah, minus the photoshops.

-The originator of the "Which D&D Character are the Democrats" meme.

-The internet's one stop shop for Kim Richards porn.

-John Kerry's daddy.

-Two words: More. Cowbell.

-And the reason I bought "Don't fear the Reaper" for my Ipod.

Truly, you have touched a lot of lives. And not in that gay way, but, rather, like a viking.

Dasshole's family will be much safer with him in the private sector.

But less well paid.

The Daschle family worked the typical nepotic scam. After he became minority leader - the Senator's wife suddenly found there was INTENSE, yes INTENSE demand for her skills and persuasive abilities. So she went into lobbying and influence peddling. Daschle's son also cleaned up. While Daschle himself will make money because the Senate never closes the door on a former colleagues ability to capitalize on access - you will see his wife and son's income-making potential magically diminish - their market value unaccountably dropping now that Tom is out of power.

But this is a bipartisan scam. Mitch McConnell's wife Elaine Chao, was a rich corporate lobbyist from the time 'ol Mitch 1st set foot in DC 'till the time she got a cabinet post. Bob Dole's wife set the table nicely for the family fortune until she too wanted to be Senator. Hadassah Lieberman makes good coin giving speeches on the "Senator's wife rubber chicken circuit". Wendy Gramm got a Board seat on Enron - no doubt on her skills - not that her husband ran key Committees. Elizabeth Edwards raked in dough before she went back to baby-making. Senator's husbands also suck up influence-peddling dollars. Governor's spouses? Does Tyson and cattle futures ring any bells?

Outside Congress, many in the executive branch become multi-millionaires after they leave the White House by whoring themselves out to companies - or to foreign nations like Saudi Arabia, Israel, and China. Kissinger is somewhat unique in his ability to whore to all willing to pay him.

No no no, posting that picture at this time isn't wrong at all.

However, posting a cartoon of a panicking Daschle being pried off the teat of a dead, bloated cow named "South Dakota Naivete'" would be wrong. But accurate.

Later,
bbeck

I am also a "Dick" ...more accurately I go by Rick but I am a son of a Dick.

Daschle should feel like a hung dog. He lived off of lying to his state for almost 3 decades...he deserved to lose. The only sad thing about this situation is that he didn't get his ass kicked worse.

Sincerely,
Another Dick
