Governor-Elect Hobbs
Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs getting the call last night, well, made my night. She wins the race for governor of Arizona. Yuk, yuk, yuk to Kari Lake. Loser. MAGA loser.
From an online story:
Hobbs marked her victory Monday night with a tweet that read: “Democracy is worth the wait. Thank you, Arizona. I am so honored and so proud to be your next Governor.”
There was no immediate comment from the Lake campaign.

On January 1, 2023, there will be THREE Latinas/Latinos on the five member Harris County Commissioners Court. The largest county in Texas and the third largest in the country. This is huge. HISTORY!
From a Chron story:
It’s also true that (Lesley) Briones’ election to office marks the first instance in its 145-year history that two women have served on Harris County Commissioners Court at the same time. It should also be noted that her presence adds a third representative with Latin American heritage to the five-member body in a county where Latinos make up the largest racial demographic group and have been growing every year since 2010.
Latina and Latino political power in our own Harris County.
Harris County GOP equals LOSERS!

This is what the arsehole Gov. Greg Abbott said about investigating the elections in Harris County:
“The allegations of election improprieties in our state’s largest county may result from anything ranging from malfeasance to blatant criminal conduct. Voters in Harris County deserve to know what happened. Integrity in the election process is essential. To achieve that standard, a thorough investigation is warranted.”
Whatever.

This is what Cancun Cruz had to say about Sen. Mitch McConnell:
“Just like with a football coach, where you would fire a football coach if the team loses when they should’ve won — we should’ve won. I am so pissed off, I cannot even see straight. The rage Americans are feeling across this country, the rage I am feeling — there are almost not words to describe it. This opportunity was screwed up. It was screwed up badly, And the people who are going to pay the price are the American people. The country is screwed for the next four years because of this.”
That’s hilarious. Hey, Cancun! I am not feeling the rage thing.
