Let's see, we had the Virginia gov race that was supposed to be close, but wasn't; the Dems won Lt. Gov and Attorney General's race as well, and cut the GOP margin in the state legislature from 66-34 to practically even; a transgender there beating the self professed state's biggest homophobe; the guy whose newscaster fiance was shot to death, live on TV beating an NRA backed schmuck; racist homophobe Moore(and, he did NOT prosecute KKK murderers as a teenager or at any other age, Sheriff Jagoff, lol) losing in deep red Alabama, and upsets in heavily red districts in Wisconsin and Missouri, respectively, by Democrats. And now, this:

https://www.vox.com/2018/2/20/17034262/kentucky-special-election-linda-belcher

Democrat Linda Belcher was just pronounced the winner of the special election in Kentucky’s House District 49, a seat that Donald Trump carried by a 72-23 margin in 2016 and that went 66-33 for Mitt Romney in 2012.
Her 68-32 victory represents a ridiculous 45-point improvement on Hillary Clinton’s performance. In fuller context, it’s a little less ridiculous than that. Belcher had previously represented this district in the state legislature, lost a very narrow 50.4-49.6 race in 2016; then the man who defeated her, Dan Johnson, killed himself while under a cloud of sexual assault allegations. The GOP nominated Johnson’s widow and Belcher reclaimed her old seat.
Still, Belcher improved by 18 points on her own margin from just 15 months ago — a very clear sign of Democrats’ down-ballot recovery in the Trump era.
[h=3]Democrats are cleaning up in special elections[/h] According to an extremely useful comprehensive spreadsheet compiled by Daily Kos, across 70 special elections in 2017, Democrats ran 10 points ahead of Clinton and 7 points ahead of Obama’s 2012 results. Those numbers have accelerated into 2018. Across 14 races, Democrats are running 28 points ahead of Clinton and 14 points ahead of Barack Obama.
Historically speaking, special election results usually are somewhat predictive of midterm general election outcomes, though I don’t think anyone believes it’s realistic for Democrats to obtain a nationwide 45-point swing relative to Clinton’s numbers.
Meanwhile, the special elections are already having real-world impact.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has decided to leave a number of formerly GOP-held seats vacant rather than schedule special elections his party might lose, national Republicans are pushing the panic button on an upcoming special House election in Pennsylvania, and GOP leadership is letting scandal-plagued Rep. Blake Farenthold stick around in his seat rather than risk a special election.


Get ready to bite that pillow and take it, GOP bitches...:nohead:kth)(&^Loser!@#0azzkick(&^@):):103631605

The person who won lost in 2016 with 49.6% of the vote when turnout was less than 1/3 of the 2016 turnout.

Wow, GB exposing yet another fraud

Why can't these assholes ever be honest? Why are they always lying? Why do they have to be something they're not?

Why? because they can't win on issues and / or with intellect, so they lie and bullshit and pretend to be somebody they're not. Because they know the duuuuuuuuhfetus of this world will swallow whole without reflex

Assholes preying on stupid, uninformed and weak minded people is certainly getting a lot of play in the country

Exposing another fraud? This is yet another example of why a lot of Right Wing Whack jobs around here are stupid, gullible morons:

1) NFL Turds having a "hunch" that all of the accusers of Pussy-Grabber-in-Chief were Democrats, a mere half million to one shot

2) NFL Turds eagerly posting a "Facebook post" of the Gold Star widow where she supposed ripped Congresswoman Wilson, a long time friend who backed up her story that the Orange Ape didn't even know her husband's name and said he knew what he was getting into. Naturally, the Facebook post was a fake.

3) Moron Sheriff Jagoff eagerly posting a story that racist pedophile Moore had prosecuted KKK murderers, and, not only that, but had done so when he was a teenager.

4) Moron Sheriff Jagoff immediately claiming that the early reports of Steve Bannon ripping Twittler were "fake news," as did King Schmuck Hannity. Hand Job had to hastily change his tune minutes later and admit that his sources had, indeed, confirmed the reports.

5) That diseased maggot, Alex Jones, claiming that the Watertown massacre was fake

And now, we get this fucking moron Greenboob, who shows more and more every day that he's a lunatic, copying and pasting other posts without comment, posting what forums Rx members are in and what they're saying, again, for no apparent reason, and here, now, posting a completely false Righty conspiracy story-which, btw, had absolutely NOTHING to do with the thread story, about a woman winning big in a deep red Kentucky district. Why? Because he's a lying moron.

[h=1]The 'crisis actors' lie spreads in wake of Florida shooting[/h]
9197dca0-94e1-11e6-9718-4d4a4a2e45f0_US-News.jpg
Christopher Wilson 3 hours ago

It happens in the wake of almost any tragedy serious enough to make the national news: Conspiracy theories circulate claiming that it didn’t really happen, or that it was staged to advance a political agenda, or that the witnesses and family members seen sobbing on television are actually actors. In the wake of the mass killing at a Florida high school last week, it happened again — this time, spread by an aide to a state legislator who emailed a Tampa Bay Times reporter to pass along a tip that “oth kids in the picture are not students here but actors that travel to various crisis when they happen.”
The “kids” referred to by Benjamin A. Kelly, a district secretary for Republican state Rep. Shawn Harrison, were two survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting who were interviewed on CNN. Kelly was promulgating a notion as cruel as it is implausible: The people on television you see grieving? Actors paid to show up and look sad.
Related: What are false flags?
Kelly was fired hours later, while apologies and condemnations flew, but he’s far from the only one propagating the idea that the students demanding new gun-control regulations aren’t real. He directed the Tampa Bay Timesto a video uploaded to YouTube showing school senior David Hogg in a local news report from California that supposedly proved that he’s a paid actor. The person in the video is Hogg, but the story is from last summer when Hogg was visiting friends — Hogg told CNN his family moved to Florida from California — but that hasn’t stopped the report from becoming the top trending video on all of YouTube.
“I am not a crisis actor,” said Hogg.” I’m somebody that had to witness this and live through this and I continue to have to do that. The fact that some of the students at Stoneman Douglas high school … are showing more maturity and political action than many of our elected officials is a testament to how disgusting and broken our political system is right now in America. But we’re trying to fix that.”
Kelly was joined by other members of the GOP. Former congressman and CNN contributor Jack Kingston questioned the legitimacy of the students’ efforts and suggested they might be either paid by billionaire Democratic donor George Soros or members of the protest group antifa. Pennsylvania state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe issued a statement that used scare quotes around “students,” apparently as a way to call their authenticity into question. Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and entertainer Ted Nugent, who visited President Trump in the White House last year and is a National Rifle Association board member, have also signaled their suspicions that something is amiss with the student activists.

Then-presidential candidate Donald Trump is interviewed by “Infowars” host Alex Jones in December 2015. The group questioning the legitimacy of the school shooting survivors is not the first in the Republican mainstream to embrace conspiracy theories. Trump and Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., have both done interviews with “Infowars,” the most popular conspiracy site on the internet. “Infowars” host Alex Jones helped invent and spread the story that the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., was staged to advance a gun-control agenda in which “crisis actors” took the roles of grieving parents and the dead children never existed.
“Yeah, so, Sandy Hook is a synthetic completely fake with actors, in my view, manufactured,” said Jones during a 2015 show. “I couldn’t believe it at first. I knew they had actors there, clearly, but I thought they killed some real kids. And it just shows how bold they are, that they clearly used actors. I mean they even ended up using photos of kids killed in mass shootings here in a fake mass shooting in Turkey — so yeah, or Pakistan. The sky is now the limit.”
But it wasn’t just the fringe that believed something was amiss in Newtown. A 2013 Farleigh Dickinson University poll found that 25 percent of respondents believed that some people were hiding the truth about the Sandy Hook shooting to advance a political agenda.
The idea of crisis actors and paid agitators also isn’t new. In 1957, when nine black students were integrated into the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., segregationists pushed the theory that the students were being paid or perhaps “imported” from the North. In 1964, Alabama Gov. George Wallace said that there weren’t any problems in the South that weren’t caused by “outside agitators.”
More recently, officials in Missouri again used the term, blaming “outside agitators” for protests in Ferguson, Mo.., following Michael Brown’s death. After last October’s mass shooting in Las Vegas, survivors were harassed with death threats, after accusations that they were actors and the deaths of 58 people were a hoax circulated on social media.

Julia Salomone, 18, and her sister Lindsey Salomone, 15, both students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas, join their classmates in a cheer as they leave Coral Springs, Fla., on a bus headed to Tallahassee, Fla. on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2018. Students plan to meet Florida legislators on Wednesday to discuss gun control. Photo: Susan Stocker/Sun Sentinel/TNS via Getty Images Many of the Stoneman Douglas students are technically actors — many of them know each other from the school’s theater program — but they are sincere in calling for new gun legislation. Their agenda includes meetings in Tallahassee, Fla., Wednesday and a planned march in Washington, D.C., next month.
“We are KIDS — not actors,” wrote Jaclyn Corin, president of the school’s junior class, on Twitter. “We are KIDS that have grown up in Parkland all of our lives. We are KIDS who feared for our lives while someone shot up our school. We are KIDS working to prevent this from happening again. WE ARE KIDS.
“It’s actually funny to us,” said Emma Gonzalez, one of the students whose legitimacy was questioned by Kelly, in an interview with BuzzFeed. “Last night, we kept showing the pictures of each other of the actors that we’re supposed to be and could not stop laughing — it was nice, we hadn’t had such a good laugh in what feels like years. It just shows how weak the other side’s argument is, like they have to attack the messengers since the message is airtight. Also I’m thankful there are people out there finding my doppelgänger for me, always wanted to have a party with a room full of people who look like me.”
As long as conspiracy theories drive internet traffic — and advance political agendas — they’re unlikely to die down, at least until companies like Google and Facebook find a way to crack down on them. The students of Stoneman Douglas are not the first survivors of tragedy or activists to have their legitimacy questioned, and they probably won’t be the last.

No, more like, a brain-dead, incredibly stupid, you-can't-POSSIBLY-be-that-dumb hunch was YOUR hunch. And, what difference does it make that you "...quoted a picture from someone else's(punctuation, Jagoff!) post?" If you had 2 brain cells to rub together, you'd have realized that the odds that the Gold Star Widow would turn on her long time friend and Congresswoman that abruptly were almost as bad as your half million to one shot, and therefore, you SHOULDN'T have "QUOTED" it, you fucking idiot. Instead, you exactly proved my point about a lot of Right Wing Whack jobs around here are stupid, gullible morons.

If I had a hunch that all 16 women were democrats and those are such high odds... what are the odds of 50? You know... odds of Ben Carson losing his license in ALL 50 states? And believing that was true? lmao... Odds higher winning $6,000,000 from Wells Fargo in a lawsuit over civil rights violations? Or Trump losing in a landslide? Or that the US will turn BLUE in 2016? Or Trump and Russian Collusion?

LMAO, and you have the nerve to call others "brain-dead, incredibly stupid, you-can't-POSSIBLY-be-that-dumb"

Maybe there is a reason you dont want an IQ test on paper... would just prove what most of us know as fact about you.
