From the WaPo article: “Corfman, 53, who works as a customer service representative at a payday loan business, says she has voted for Republicans in the past three presidential elections, including for Donald Trump in 2016.”

Seemed fairly obvious to me at least that Xi was catering to trump’s narcissism with all the pageantry and hoopla. Header photo shows Xi’s barely concealed disgust and trump’s oblivious shit eating grin. They also cut out a lot of his live speech on Chinese tv.

Did you see her response to an interviewer?
“It must feel very vindicating about this win. Do you have anything to say to your opponent?”
“I have nothing but good things to say about Bob. I would never say anything negative about one of my constituents and Bob is one of my constituents now.”

Vicious... absolutely vicious…

She didn’t just defeat him. She also gave one of the classiest responses when asked about beating Marshall.

And one who understands exactly how shade works, at that:

He district Danica Roem was in is pretty conservative too, so this is a real victory. It’s a lot of conservative but I’d say fairly educated middle class white people. She should be like DNC chair as far as I’m concerned. This campaign was freaking amazing.

Right? His petty “I didn’t like him anyway! He didn’t support me enough!” is *definitely* gonna convince people that Gillespie was the problem and not that 45’s endorsement is an albatross on any and all candidates he supports. Sure.

Lots of good news coming out of Virginia. The governor’s mansion stays blue. And Trump is having a meltdown. He’s throwing Enron Ed Gillespie under the bus.

As a Virginian, I was approaching this evening with a feeling of dread—I was concerned that the closing poll numbers really indicated the race for Gov. was tightening.

A trans woman defeating the guy who tried to pass a bathroom bill is the kind of poetic justice we need.

I’ve already been called a grandma once today, but it’s no Britney and Justin

I love this. Oprah makes me so happy. This is a classic church-lady voice, and it makes me so pleased.

This sounds like my mom when she’s singing at church, but it’s too early on a Sunday morning to sing in the correct key, so she takes it down the octave.

1:10 is some of the ugliest singing I’ve ever heard, and honestly it makes me like her more. Good job, Oprah. You do you.

It is beyond disgusting that anyone has to deal with this but Sia handled it like a fucking boss.

Yeah I know the tabloids go nuts over “work-shy Will” or whatever but I follow the Kensington palace social media accounts and Will and Harry are always doing something it seems, at least every other day. They do a lot of work with mental health in particular, and also have taken over a lot of the charities Diana used…

.......and her promise at 21......it is “a job for life”........

The Queen is in a terrible position. She works her ass off at official events and the like because she knows she has a mandatory duty that has some perks. Her children and grandchildren think of being royal as a perk that has occasional, optional duties.

Elizabeth won’t step down because of the object lesson of the Duke of Windsor. It’s also just not a thing British monarchs do; it’s not part of their tradition.

The Queen hasn’t abdicated because she believes that being the monarch is a lifetime appointment. She has said that if she were to become incapacitated, there would be a regency, where Charles rules in her name, but she will be the Queen until she dies.
