When I first heard of the closeness of this race, I admit that I didn't know who Colom was. The media was consumed with Al-Sayed and Talarico. I thought Colom may have been this guy. From January 2025...
<Mississippi state Sen. Bradford Blackmon, a Democrat, introduced a bill this week that would seemingly ban men from masturbating or engaging in other sexual acts when they have no "intent to fertilize an embryo."
The bill, titled the "Contraception Begins at Erection Act," would make it unlawful for "a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo." It includes exceptions for sperm donation and using contraception to prevent fertilization.>
Also--while I was told from someone who comes from near the area that the Hattiesburg blues club scene isn't what it used to be, I would love to check it out. Perhaps someday is some time within (at least) the next six years.)
The “pick another protein” ad was the best, most effective political ad in a long time - funny, memorable, short and using the opponent’s own words. Masterful.
📌“We’re gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. You’ll say, ‘Please, please. It’s too much winning. We can’t take it anymore.' ’And I’ll say, ‘No it isn’t. We have to keep winning. We have to win more!’”
Since then, Dems have flipped over 500 seats. The GOP?
I think i just got so used to being beat up from these shitbags for 2+ years (a fucking decade) that I was in shock we won so much.
I had long decided to ignore the polls, so it really was a shock. Then I remained *shocked* it became a blowout. I have some questions on why it took so fucking long, but I'll take it!
IK, R? I was freaking out on the 3rd and practicing AVOIDANCE but a friend kept texting me results. Then Texas started flipping HARD and that's when the hubs and I put on MSNOW and then EVERYTHING was flipping and I honestly couldn't believe it.
Before. And from a link within the Guardian link (to a Las Vegas paper that's too right wing to link to directly):
Phoebe Sweet, communications director for the Nevada State Democratic Party, and a few of her barnyard friends who shall remain nameless stopped by Lowden's campaign headquarters.
"I tried to trade this goat for some health care, and my doctor looked at me like I'm crazy," Sweet told a receptionist as she carried the 25-pound goat into the headquarters with a local TV crew tracking her. "So I was just curious if you had any information on her barter plan."
"No, thank you," the unidentified receptionist said politely.
Having recently moved to SC, it's the white ladies of a certain age who freak me out the most. Had an UBER driver a few weeks ago taking me to vote and she started in on the evils of mail in ballots and "all the voter fraud out there." Out there indeed.
AND the desk! If it's a Mississippi desk there's a 50/50 chance it's Jeff Davis' (the senior senator can request it if they want, idk if Roger Wicker wants it/already has it). It's one of three desks in the chamber assigned by state (Daniel Webster and Henry Clay are the others).
The old open borders, boys in girls locker rooms and George Soros bullshit. Cope harder, honey.

I love that Hyde-Smith only really has herself to blame.
"we may not quite enjoy her company in Mississippi"
Turns out they don't quite enjoy yours either.

How could anyone think telling a BBQ heavy place to just pick another protein would be a good idea?
Worked out for Farmer Vincent at Farmer Vincent's Smoked Meat... not the people who stayed at Motel Hell.
Kind of like Susan Collins's last tone deaf ad. They both thought they were invincible and FAFO!
The “pick another protein” ad was the best, most effective political ad in a long time - funny, memorable, short and using the opponent’s own words. Masterful.
Can more upfists be added to this post?
AOT, K
They're adding Senator-elect Colom's victory speech into the loop Reagan is forced to watch in hell.
Hope it haunts the nightmares of the killer/s of Nolan Wells.
Where is Byron de la Beckwith buried? Play it over his grave.

Hyde-Smith is the devil with the blue slip blue slip blue slip, the devil with the blue slip on, Lord have mercy!

I don't think I will ever get tired of THIS kind of winning. Just saying.

Maybe she and also-ran from ages ago Sue Lowden can share a chicken?

I've lost my place in the Derp Timeline. Was this before or after Joni Ernst's advocacy for bread bags as footwear?

They know.
Fumigate that seat before you sit in it
AND the desk! If it's a Mississippi desk there's a 50/50 chance it's Jeff Davis' (the senior senator can request it if they want, idk if Roger Wicker wants it/already has it). It's one of three desks in the chamber assigned by state (Daniel Webster and Henry Clay are the others).
SO CALL AN EXORCIST TO BE SAFE!
He should request the desk and accidentally ruin it.
Or just request the desk and say “Fuck you, traitor--your desk has been reconstructed” every time he sits at it. That might be better, actually.
