After posting an image depicting himself as Jesus, President Trump takes a moment of quiet satisfaction having now violated all ten Commandments.

Negotiate a fair contract with your employees.

Democrats do bad things and resign their positions. republicans do bad things and become president.

Even the GOP, utter evil incarnate and incarnadine, soaked in the blood of innocents both foreign and domestic, have got to be starting to get nervous about their deal with Satan and looking at the fine print.

I know that denial of reality is literally their entire Operating System but even so there is denying reality as a general concept and denying this particular reality which is akin to closing one's eyes as a rabid wolverine lunges for one's genitals.

Even /they/ have to be wincing.

With high turnout, they got wiped out of the *parliamentary seats* which is going to allow TISZA to immediately reverse the bulk of Orban's constitutional & regulatory abuse. There was always a strong likelihood of Orban himself being defeated, but the real victory was ripping out his party's control of the parliament.

We need to pay attention to this in the US & we need to repeat this success, state by state, district by district.

Something to note about the Hungarian election is that the Orban's FIDESZ party engaged in GOP style gerrymandering to try to skew election results in their favor in their voting districts. They ran into the problem of high turnout, which is the Achilles heel of gerrymandering. They gave themselves FIDESZ majority districts, but with margins that *only* work if turnout is light or ordinary.
I don't plan on stopping, but here's a @MastoReader collation of all my John Roberts curses so far (Jan. to now): https://mastoreader.io/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fc.im%2F%40msbellows%2F116387809850196683
