They used to say of Democrats that we were "bicoastal elites", that we had the Pacific Rim and the Atlantic Coast while the Heartland was Red. In military parlance that image could mean two very different things: 1) that the Democrats' "flanks were in the air", exposed and vulnerable, or 2) that Republicans were fighting the dread "two front" war.
However now, and for the next six years at least the map must needs be updated. If we perform the following exercise in excising, and who amongst us can object?
We then have this map:
Ugh (if one is Republican) the dread "Anaconda" maneuver, the hopeless encircling of the enemy. The circle is nearly complete and the Victors can make good use of the vast, contiguous, empty northern tier states. We can combine them into one territory and encourage, via whips and cattle prods, Republicans from elsewhere to emigrate, to self-deport to the new Kingdom of Diaperdom.
The undersigned is wrong about so many things and so often that it is repetitive to say it again. One thing I have been wrong about, and that I have confessed error to recently is the Phila. "76ers". I, and to be fair to myself, some of my betters, believed that with so many talents and so many egos on the Philly Phab Phive roster that it would take some time, perhaps with some bloodletting before the players and coach were on the same page.
The "Sixers", now 8-1, proved me and the others wrong again tonight beating a good group of Zollner Pistons (6-2) in the Palace in Malice Hills.
One thing I have not been wrong about has been the trade by the Miami "Heat" to the Milwaukee "Brewers". We got Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis, the first the superstar that we hunted for a decade, who has played every bit his billing, and the second who has been more additive than than expected. This improved roster is not evident in wins and losses yet. We are 2-5.
We gave up Tyler Herro, 3J, Kel'el Ware and a passel of draft picks, pick swaps and, I don't remember it all, some wife-sharing, I think. Though our record is nothing to write to our mothers about, the "Brewers" BLOW. They fell to Beans tonight in Beantown, hardly a demerit given degree of difficulty, but they haven't played Beans all eight games and are 1-7.
As to the "Brewers" roster additions that we gave them, I was extremely high on 3J for his first season, I saw him play in the summer league and he caught my eye, but then he was exposed as a one-trick pony with his back-to-the-basket move, teams caught on, and Jaime spent extended time on Eric Spoelstra's bench until the trade.
Tyler Herro, I liked, some of the time, most of the time, he made an All-Star appearance with us, but his game had reached a clear ceiling. "How did you lay waste to the 'Heat'? in the Cleveland playoff series in 2024, a pencil asked Darius Garland. "Picked on Tyler Herro." It was time. Both sides had grown stale with the other.
As for Kel'el Ware, I took an initial look at him, read his comments while in college and concluded he couldn't play.
3J and Tyler start for the "Brewers" and Kel'el is a rotation player off the bench. 3J had 18 pts on 6/17 (0-2) in 31', -3 tonight; Tyler, 33', 25 points, 8/17 (4/10), -8; and Kel'el in 16' had tyoo points, 1/6 (0/2), 5 rebs and -6.
Milwaukee is Miami last season, actually worse so far, and Miami is Milwaukee last season with Giannis. The records are not wholly dissimilar but as a "Heat" fan with a quick hook for experiments that I believe have gone awry, I am satisfied (with the exception of the first four games which were ruined by boy genius Spoelstra). I cannot imagine that "Brewers" are entirely quiescent about their team's start and I don't know where they might think their team is going as I and other "Heat" fans wondered where that franchise was going after 12 years of 43-39.
I've had it with that guy. Excremento was the last team to get a dub and they did it Monday night in DALLAS! He's been given enough time. They ought to get rid of his sorry ass.
We're +1,138 in the raw vote. By the standards of this vote count that is a yawning chasm. Earlier today it was in double figures, 60-70 some.
If we fucking win Mississippi Goddamn, my head will explode.
...as he and shit-for-brains gave other 8-year olds, and some reporters, a tour of the Cheesecake Factory Ballroom.
"This is the most powerful building, structurally the most powerful building they say ever built. I like beautiful things, and especially when it comes to the White House."
That was today, TODAY, the day after the political party of these two Speer and Hitler descendants got WIPED OFF THE FACE OF THE MAP.
They are so weird.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results.

Holy shit!!! This NIGHT!!!!!! 💙💙💙💙
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says the Democrats taking control of the House and the Senate in the U.S. midterms is going to “introduce a new era in world relations.”
Good morning Trumpie! How's the Reflecting Pool?
BYEPAC!
Jason, how's your Turkish?
Haley, moving to a kibbitz?
With 76% of the vote counted Abdul has a 5.6% lead and is closing in on the utter HUMILIATION of the detested American Israel Propaganda Action Committee.
Michigan Voters! Drive a stake through AIPAC's heart. And don't bury them in a shallow grave!
