The 2018 Midterms Game Day Thread of Angst, Worry, (and maybe some hope?)

58 days out from Election Day and I still feel so fucking good and hopeful!

Last night Janet Mills became Maine’s 75th governor and the first woman to hold the office in the state’s 199-year history. She was Maine’s first female criminal prosecutor and the first woman Attorney General in New England.

The substance and tone of her inauguration speech was like a smudging ceremony wiping away the shameful stain of the LePage administration.

A rendition of Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire,” sung by Shy Paca, 11, and Natalia Mbadu, 10, brought the audience to its feet, cheering.

Posting this for Trig because he’s, like, totally in love with her 👉

Aaawwwwww, such a happy day!

Happy Happy day for a bunch of my friends who live in that district

Definitely the most hopeful day since that dark November night back in 2016.

“Former CIA Officer. Girl Scout leader.”

Love it.

Imagine the kinds of merit badges she offers.

From the Post, this afternoon.

Actually, the Republicans won 2018, actually.

Love the facts after the trump tweet.

On a level of @ArmandoPenblade’s love of any GOP congress member (0) to @tomchick’s physical based love of Sarah Palin (10,) where does Trig stand here?

Congrats to all the freshmen. A historic day for sure.

Waterboarding.
Poison.
Wet work.

Boom dot gif.

HeHe I was going to post exactly that. I hope she updates its to Girl Scout, former CIA officer, and Congresswomen.

I wish her well.

I saw yesterday that Dave Brat landed on his feet. He’s the new head of the Business Department @ Liberty University.

It’s about time we got a cool factoid about Thomas Jefferson.

I kinda want to start a band and name it Thomas Jefferson’s Quran.

I’ll name mine Thomas Jefferson’s 600 Working Prisoners.

Keith Ellison was also sworn in on Jefferson’s Quran.

The book or the band?

So this is the same woman congressperson who called Trump a “motherfucker”?

It’s wrong to call Trump a motherfucker. There’s no evidence to support that.

Daughterfucker is the correct word.
