I said it here first a week ago, Thomas is going to resign or be forced to. How much dirt can a supreme Court Justice handle?
Lol, he is more likely to go on and become the chief justice. Chief justice Roberts is the only one among the conservative justices that will be willing to retire or resign while a liberal president is in office. Justice Thomas is a battle hardened Justice that has faced and won a lot of battles against liberal propagandists for decades so this current hue and cry by leftists is nothing new to him, he will probably be having a good laugh over your tantrums.

I hope Kari Lake loses so we can see what he will say about that

Cos Trump praised her last week that Look at Kari of you ask her that how's her family the first thing she will say is that election was stolen
I just pray God will touch his heart to step down for DeSantis, the last thing I want to see is a Trump vs DeSantis war in the 2024 primaries.

That would be interesting but from what I am seeing, Kari Lake will likely win because the outstanding votes are all breaking for her.

3rd scenario seems more likely
That's what I'm thinking too.
Foreign Affairs / Re: American Politics Thread - 2024 Elections — Biden’s Presidency! by Mintum: 6:16pm On Nov 09, 2022
Trump went on Truth social to bash his own candidates Oz and Bolduc claiming they would have won if they were more unequivocally Trumpists. Bolduc flip flopped on the issue of whether Trump won the 2020 elections, same as Oz who didn't equivocally declare that Trump won in 2020 so in Trump's reasoning, his supporters didn't trust them to be MAGA enough and that's why they lost. What manner of a man is this Trump? grin

in the bigger picture what does this mean in the Senate outcome
We may not know who will control the Senate until December. Possible outcomes of the three remaining outstanding races (Nevada, Arizona, Georgia);

1. If republicans win in Arizona and Nevada then they take control of the Senate.

2. If Dems win both Nevada and Arizona then they will be guaranteed control of the Senate because they will have at least 50 seats and the VP Kamala Harris vote gives them a majority in a 50:50 Senate

3. If GOP and Dems win one each out of Arizona and Nevada then Georgia will be a winner takes all, any one who wins the Georgia race will control the Senate.

Confirmed!! Georgia Senate race is going to a run off. So they'll have to do it all over again.

Warnock vs Walker, winner takes all.

ABC News just ran a piece about the "red mirage". This phrase was coined in the fall of 2020 in an effort to explain the election day route by Republicans that would dry up as votes were counted from mysterious ballot dumps. The end result was that EVERY SINGLE STATE that counted for days happened to find just enough votes for Democrats.
Exactly, that's why I find what's happening in Nevada very fishy, they've completely frozen all reports from democratic Clark county and are apparently waiting for all republican leaning districts to turn in their final results before continuing. Why? Beats my imagination. I just hope we won't see a magical 100k+ votes added in Clark county because that would be a very big red flag.

Am just happy for Ukraine,a republican senate would have bleeped them up
House of reps are in charge of financial appropriation and it's going to be under republican control. And what makes you think the republicans don't support Ukraine? Last time I checked, it was progressive democrats that wrote a letter criticizing the continued funding for Ukraine.

Republicans actually gained Senate seats in 2002 and 2018

In 2018 Democrats flipped Congress They called it a Democrat victory
In 2022 Republican flipped Congress They still called it a Democrat victory

The delusion is really high
Exactly, it's looking like the best democrats can get in the Senate this time will be a 50:50 Senate if Warnock wins in Georgia.

Lol this is copium of the highest order

Since 30 years ago everyone knows for a fact that the opposition win the midterms

This one you are saying proves the point that republicans as the opposition don’t have footing in recent times

Look at the 1994 election, 2008 election, 2018 election and look at what makes they have alike.
The GOP only lost the house in 2018 but they retained control of the Senate. Dems are certainly going to lose the house this time and the Senate is still a toss up so I wouldn't be mocking if I were you, there's still a possibility Dems end up worse than the last mid term under a GOP president. At best it will be a split congress just like in 2018.

On a second look, I'm getting more confident about a Blake Masters victory in Arizona, I even think he has a better shot than Laxalt in Nevada because of the unknown factor i.e the number of mail votes still left in Clark county (Don't know why they are hiding that detail, looks fishy). All of the votes left to be counted in Arizona on the other hand are election day mail drop offs which has broken 60-40 for Masters so far, he might just pull it off. Nevada needs to be more transparent with their elections, Laxalt looks good for the win but with them refusing to say how many mail votes are left in heavily democratic Clark county, who is to say that we won't suddenly see a magical additional 100k+ votes emerge from there after waiting for all republican leaning districts to turn in their returns? It won't be the first time it has happened, I saw this in Broward county, Florida in 2018, almost same playbook. I hope it's not the case here though. Transparency breeds confidence in election processes, I wonder why you will be hiding information if you're not doing anything fishy.

Republicans will most definitely take control of the house but with a smaller majority than initially predicted.
Foreign Affairs / Re: American Politics Thread - 2024 Elections — Biden’s Presidency! by Mintum: 4:47pm On Nov 09, 2022
Ron Johnson has won in Wisconsin and with laxalt almost certain to win in Nevada, the GOP is certain to end up with at least 50 Senate seats. The two Senate races that will decide the control of the Senate are Georgia and Arizona. If the GOP wins any of those races then the Senate will flip to republican control but democrats must win both just to keep the Senate at fifty seats each.

Lol. DeSantis will destroy him

Trump needs to keep his ego aside and do what's best for the party by not joining the race. DeSantis will definitely destroy Biden but if Trump gets involved in the primaries then he might end up becoming the candidate or if DeSantis manages to beat him, he might be damaged goods before the general elections because Trump fights dirty and any primaries with him is likely to be very bitter and contentious.

Still too early to call Pennsylvania

They counted most of the early mail in votes first which normally favor Democrats

Fetterman still has the edge and I don't think a winner can be called till tomorrow

Georgia is destined for runoff
I like your optimism but I am not seeing where Oz will make up the margins from.

Every race is unique. American voters are more sophisticated than Nigerian voters and just don’t vote for one party up and down the ballot. Congressional democrats vastly underperformed Biden's win too so why all the focus on Trump?

No one said all his candidates will win but for you to make a blanket statement that all his candidates are failing when Vance just killed it in Ohio is false.

The Oz and walker races are all too close to call now and if Walker in particular wins that is a major boost for Trumps endorsement power because a guy like that would normally never get elected to senate lol the fact he’s even this competitive is a testament.
Oz needs a miracle to win Pennsylvania, he is behind and majority of the outstanding votes are in blue leaning districts. I have already given up that race cos fetterman is almost certainly going to win. Walker has a chance to get it over 50% but it's going to be a close call.

No one was in doubt Kemp was going to crush Abrams. Of course not all his candidates are going.. not all Obama and Bidens candidates are going to win either… but for you to make a blanket statement that “Trump candidates are failing” when Vance, one of his biggest followers; just won in the crucial state of Ohio.. that’s bullocks man.
Ohio has more or less become a red state. Check out all the swing states, Trump candidates are performing poorly. In Georgia, Kemp already won while Walker is headed for a run off. In Wisconsin Senator Johnson is leading while Trump candidate for Gov. Michel is losing. Like I said earlier, JD Vance underperformed dewine by a mile in Ohio. Then Pennsylvania is the worst where both the candidate for Gov and the candidate for Senate both Trump endorsed are losing. Blake Masters and Kari Lake are also underperforming in Arizona. Trump can't point to JD Vance and say his candidates are doing well because Ohio is more or less a red state.

Wisconsin looking good for Senator Johnson but Georgia is looking more and more like a Run off. I am seeing Republicans winning 50 seats to Democrats 49 and Georgia going for a re-run unless Walker can somehow get over 50%

He underperformed Gov. Dewine by a very huge margin. Same thing we are seeing in Georgia with Walker underperforming Kemp.
Bolduc bombed in New Hampshire and Oz is not looking good at the moment.

Democrat Maura Healey wins the Massachusetts Governor race. She defeats Republican incumbent Charlie Baker

Democrat Wes Moore wins the Maryland Governor race. He defeats Republican incumbent Larry Hogan. Maryland gets its first black Governor.
wrong, neither Charlie Baker nor Larry Hogan were on the ballot, both term limited.
Both parties presented new candidates;

Massachusetts - Maura Healey (Democrat)
Geoff Diehl (Republicans)

Maryland - Wes Moore (Democrat)
Dan Cox (Republican)
