There is still also a slim chance of retaking the House. Very slim, but it's there.David French telling it as it should be (it is pay walled, I read it as one of my freebies)
We Don’t Have Time to Waste Time in Despair
“In the words of Cormac McCarthy, ‘If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?’” the Ohio Republican wrote.
The aphorism Vance attributed to McCarthy was not actually worldly wisdom from the late American writer but a bit of dialogue from Anton Chigurh, a vicious killer in his 2005 novel, “No Country for Old Men,” which was turned into a 2007 Oscar-winning film.
In the story, Chigurh says the line right before he blows another character’s head off with a shotgun blast. Chigurh, you see, is a psychopathic hit man who kills people for money but also out of a demented notion that he is an agent of fate and that the victims essentially engineered their own deaths simply by crossing his path.
vance quotes psychopath killer character when suggesting people might reevaluate how they think about trump:
a psychopath hitman for money... sounds about right
Missourians voted Tuesday night to protect abortion rights, raise the minimum wage and guarantee paid sick leave for workers.
They also voted by wide margins to send Republicans to Jefferson City who vehemently oppose those proposals and may try to roll them back.
After years of watching voters go around the GOP-dominated legislature through the initiative petition process, the party has become determined to counter that by making it harder to amend the state constitution.
Some folks really do believe that the GOP means to leave it to the states. Boy, are they in for a rude awakening!The voters of Missouri are bipolar.
Missouri voted for an abortion rights amendment — and the Republicans who vow to overturn it
Of course the Republican reaction is to limit the input of voters.![]()

According to the lawsuit, Metcalfe’s starting salary was 60 percent of what the next closest white attorney’s salary was. The highest salary was more than $121,000.
The lawsuit argues Metcalfe was paid less even though she was being hired to do “substantially the same as that of her white colleagues.”
In January 2012, Metcalfe’s colleagues were given a raise, but she was not.
Another employee with no previous experience was hired for the same position Metcalfe currently worked and was offered a starting salary of $101,500.
When Metcalfe complained and demanded a raise, the Senate denied her request. She resigned shortly thereafter.
(Bloomberg) -- Donald Trump’s return to the White House is already starting to tee up a deluge of bonuses in Wall Street’s corridors of power.
At Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the prospect that investment banks and buyout shops will again be among the top beneficiaries of Trump’s regulatory and tax agenda has sent its stock price soaring. If the gains hold over coming weeks, it will trigger a key threshold for David Solomon to eventually collect a special payout, which at current performance levels would be worth at least $50 million.
At buyout shop Carlyle Group Inc., shares jumped 10% on Wednesday to their highest level under Chief Executive Officer Harvey Schwartz. If they stay near the current level for another month, it will unlock another $50 million of his signing bonus. At JPMorgan Chase & Co., Wednesday’s rally boosted the running value of Jamie Dimon’s retention package by almost $40 million, alongside roughly $190 million of gains on the stock he already holds.
Financial stocks led gains in the hours after Trump’s victory, with investors betting the industry will benefit from less government resistance to corporate takeovers, lighter banking regulation and more corporate tax cuts. Dealmaking had been in a slump this year as Biden’s antitrust department challenged acquisitions that might hurt consumers.
