There has to be some nefarious reason. I don't remember any Trump properties in Atlanta when I lived there but I have been gone for a while and it wouldn't have been the kind of place I'd pay attention to. Maybe some rich asshole invited him to sit in his private box.

Wait for tomorrow morning's twitter storm. Next he'll focus on beating Kim Jong Il's all-time high golf score.

they will HAVE to work with Dems to get anything doneUmm, the Obama years imply that they are completely happy with not doing their jobs and just fighting with each other, but I do appreciate you still have hope.

Getting their heads so far up their asses requires a great deal of flexibility on the part of republicans.

Another reason to use more pony pics. Equestria is a matriarchy.

Mind you, if Michonne or Carol had declared the end of post-zombie-apocalypse democracy, I'd have used them.

I'll definitely keep your point in mind; in this particular case, it was the meme sentiment that I wanted, though.

Is it wrong of me to want to punish Virginia Republicans for this?

I totally get it. ALL THE MALE FACES just struck me as I was scrolling through articles.

I don't think picking a name out of a bowl constitutes "the will of the people." Isn't that more like gambling? Gambling is defined in Virginia law as "betting on the outcome of any games or contests that depend on chance." I am quite sure some people were betting on the outcome of this name-picking, so my question is, did they have a gambling license?

Only for this? Cause there are plenty of reasons to want to punish Virginia Republicans in addition to this.

Chomsky is horrible. He’s like a Glenn Greenwald waiting to happen.

That's a spoiled ballot where I'm from/at. And is tossed in the garbahge where it belongs. (All you Hoser voters out there: you are allowed to ask for a second ballot if you change your mind.)

Also: why even have votes if you're gonna pull this kind of election ratfucking? What even is the point?

"...in an indication of Republican respect for fair play for all, The Hill notes that while Virginia law allows the loser of a tie-election draw to request one more recount, Ms. Simonds said in advance that she “would not request a second recount if she lost the drawing. Yancey declined to make the same pledge"

yes...same old dems...give me such great hopes for nov 2018 🙄

if we want majorities, we have to act like it and fight for them, because THEY always do...we had to know that when ms simonds won by 1vote that it was time to send jimmy carter to VA, because the thugs would find a way to ratfuck the dems out of this seat in the VA house...and they did...and the dems let them get away with it as always...this shit is beyond old
