Georgia was the epicenter of the stolen election world walker was  a trump guy and a lunatic...it easily could have went in that direction...to his or his peoples credit it didn't

[PhillyPhreak54]

Probably got word from GOP higher ups to shut the farg up about stolen elections since they got whipped in the general.

kari lake and her soft filter are still fighting the election...its gone nowhere. nobody cares and the vote was certified. walker is too dumb and too disliked to start a riot if he could even spell riot.

[SD]

I have to say as bad a candidate as Herschel was and he's even a worse person his concession speech was very good and important

It was the most sense I ever heard him make by a long shot. He specifically mentioned "always upholding the constitution under any circumstances" which I thought was maybe a shot at Trump. Maybe giving him too much credit but just seemed like an odd comment to make during a concession speech.

bwahaha..charlie kirk that moon faced nazi is getting emails like this

Rafael Cruz has an LGBTQ daughter.  She tried to kill herself yesterday. 

One would assume that an event like this would cause someone to take stock of their life and what their words and actions do to those around them.

Of course this is Ted Cruz so he will undoubtedly double down on his bigoted schtick. 

I hope the girl recovers.

[Diomedes]

Ted Cruz is an awful human being.  If he were my dad, I'd be suicidal too.

[MDS]

maybe if she went through with it he would realize its because of how awful he is and change, but that would require ted to be a human being capable of feelings

[General_Failure]

Dude didn't even go home to check on her.

[PhillyPhreak54]

He only flees when there are people dying from freezing.

[Diomedes]

Yeah, maybe if she made the attempt in Mexico he'd show up.

in other sad-but-makes-sense political news:

Sinema changed her party affiliation to "independent."

*sigh

[Rome]

She's a lying piece of unfiltered shtein. 

[MDS]

for the next 2 years this probably will not matter much...i say probably because as a grifting funhole you never quite know what this phony is capable of

what will matter is if she runs as an indp to sink the democrat in that election. she is doing this because her polling is terrible and they were going to primary her. now shes basically saying dont run against me or else ill blow it up. she is a vile, vile person hanging on to whatever semblance of power she has. grotesque.

[Diomedes]

Sargent at WaPo has a decent breakdown I think:
