IMO, the fact that the democrats were able to hold on to seats in West Virginia and Montana as well likely flipping the seat in Arizona shows that despite the gains the the GOP had, the democrats were able to hold their own in a lot of places, and that’s something to be proud about...

IMO, it really depends on who the Democratic candidate is on whether Trump gets re-elected or not. If they elect another establishment type democrat like Joe Biden (as much as I like him), Trump has a good chance of getting re-elected. However, if someone like Beto O’Rourke is the nominee, then they would be a serious challenger to Trump. Of course, democrats will likely fuck it up in some way again to make Trump re-elected, but they could definitely win...

While that is true, you know that he will be one of those types who will suddenly go off Twitter and die a week later...

Kumar has died. Yep, that’s right. Arnanth Kumar, MP and the current Minister of Parliamentary Affairs from India has died aged 59. I’m sorry drol, I think I got tricked into getting the wrong Kumar. Please don’t get angry at me...

I’ll be sure to send the exact same list that I used for my shadow list and the Crowdsource list near the end of the year as usual...

President of the International San Diego Comic-Con John Rogers dead from brain cancer.

Yeah, I’d say if they nominate someone like Beto O’Rourke, his chances of a second term would be really fucked. Besides, flips in Nevada and potentially Arizona show that the bases there are growing as well.

Please hang on for another two years at least...

She probably won’t be a shoe in sadly...

Just had a check. Only one of them appears on my personal playlist despite liking multiple songs on there. Sorry.

Well, he has been on the forums for over 9 years, so not exactly a newbie by any extent of the imagination...

Seriously? You did one for this guy but didn’t do one for the more famous Brian May? How could you??!!!

Jeff Sessions is resigning from his position as attorney general.

Looks like Jon Tester will hold on to his seat in Montana. The last senate race to be called is Arizona, in which we won’t know for a few days at least. Martha McSally is leading there by about 1%, but with multiple votes yet to be counted, Sinema could also be the victor there. It’s too close to call right now anyhow...

Really not a good night for the democrats in the senate. So far, the Republicans flipped Indiana, North Dakota, Missouri, and Florida with Montana and Arizona still yet to be called. Wasn’t all bad there, the democrats were able to flip the seat in Nevada, and while Beto O’Rourke did lose to Ted Cruz, the fact that he was able to make that seat a fight is absolutely amazing. Democrats will control the House though, and while it wasn’t the blue wave they were hoping for, they did flip a few seats that you thought would never go Republican, including one house seat in my own state of Oklahoma!

The answer was stage 3 colon cancer.

Welp, looks like I’m a hit in Alt Obits now.

He’s Australian, so he was always a cert for an obit...

You’re on a roll Alt Obits Guy with Ted Mack. 5 points for you, Gerard Tierney, me, and drol. Congrats.

Father of the Australian Independents and often named shortlister Ted Mack has died. QO for dead pools.

She’s not really the type the committee typically go for, whether you think she’s famous enough or not...

If McCain was elected president in 2008, then they might consider his mother, but he wasn’t elected then, so she won’t make an appearance on the list before she dies...
